Exercise to boost immunity in advanced cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a supervised exercise program can help boost your immune system during cancer treatment. If you have mesothelioma or pancreatic cancer, you may join to see if exercise improves how well your body fights the cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- Diagnosed with mesothelioma or pancreatic cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery
- About to start or already receiving your first round of palliative treatment (immunotherapy for mesothelioma, chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer)
- Be in reasonably good physical condition (able to do light activity, as assessed by your doctor)
- You have not had any prior cancer treatment for this disease
- No other active cancer, and no uncontrolled spread to the brain or bones

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 studies whether a supervised resistance exercise program combined with protein supplementation can help people with non-metastatic pancreatic cancer during chemotherapy. It may improve strength and how well you tolerate treatment, with safety monitoring throughout.
This trial tests whether a supervised exercise program can help improve immune activity and treatment outcomes for people with non-small cell lung cancer who are already on immunotherapy. It is designed for people who are not currently very active.
This study tests whether a structured exercise program can boost the immune system in people with lung cancer. If you are generally active and able to ride a stationary bike, this trial could help understand how exercise affects your body's defenses.
This trial tests whether aerobic exercise can help your immune system fight cancer better during chemotherapy or immunotherapy. It is for people with breast or colon cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body.
This study tests whether adding high-intensity exercise and a high-fiber diet can improve how well immunotherapy works for people with melanoma. It might help you if you are already on immunotherapy and are not currently very active or eating a lot of fiber.
