At-home heart rehab for teens with heart failure risk
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if a home-based exercise program using a Fitbit can help teens who had chemotherapy improve their heart and lung fitness. You would exercise at home, track your activity, and have monthly virtual check-ins for 6 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 10 and 21 years old
- You had chemotherapy with a drug called anthracycline (and maybe radiation), but your cancer is in remission and you finished chemo at least 6 months ago
- You can do an exercise test on a bike or treadmill, and your recent test showed below-normal fitness (under 80%)
- You (or your parent/guardian) have a smartphone that works with a Fitbit
- You can send your activity diary and Fitbit data weekly, and join monthly video visits
