Exercise during chemo to prevent weakness from low movement
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a structured exercise program during chemotherapy can help prevent physical decline (“immobility,” like getting weaker or moving less) in people with certain ovarian or endometrial cancers. If you’re eligible, you may be guided to exercise while receiving standard chemo, and you’ll have blood tests to track changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You’re 18 or older
- Your doctor clears you to do moderate-to-vigorous exercise safely

This trial studies whether a structured exercise and lifestyle (diet and activity) program can help women with ovarian or endometrial cancer during chemotherapy. You may be assigned to the lifestyle program or usual care to compare outcomes.
This trial tests a special exercise program during chemotherapy before surgery. It may help patients with certain gynecologic cancers get stronger and better prepared for treatment.
This trial tests a home-based exercise program using connected devices (like a smartphone or computer) for people with advanced ovarian cancer who are receiving chemotherapy before surgery. The program aims to improve fitness and well-being during treatment.
This trial tests a distance-based exercise program designed to help people on chemotherapy maintain their physical function and prevent disability. It is for patients with certain cancers who are working full-time and can participate in moderate physical activity.
This trial tests whether supervised exercise (before surgery) can help people with advanced ovarian cancer get ready for treatment. It’s meant to improve readiness and safety during the time leading up to surgery.
This trial tests whether a supervised exercise and nutrition program can improve well-being for people with ovarian cancer who are taking a maintenance drug called a PARP inhibitor after finishing their first round of chemotherapy. Participation may help manage side effects and support overall health.
