Exercise during chemotherapy for sarcoma
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether doing exercise during your chemotherapy infusion can improve your outcomes if you have sarcoma. You'll exercise while receiving IV chemo, and the goal is to see if it helps you feel better and possibly improves treatment results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are starting at least two rounds of chemotherapy for a sarcoma (a type of cancer) that hasn't been removed by surgery.
- You are able to do light activity or better (fully active or able to do light work).
- Your doctor has approved you for the trial and you have no physical or mental limitations that would stop you from exercising.
- You can read Danish and are willing to sign a consent form.
- You will receive your chemotherapy in the clinic (not at home) and your infusion lasts at least one hour.
- You do not have a known heart condition that increases risk (based on an echocardiogram showing normal heart pumping function).

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 study tests a combination of chemo medicines (gemcitabine, doxorubicin, docetaxel) plus an immunotherapy drug (nivolumab) for advanced sarcoma that can’t be removed with surgery. It may help shrink tumors and slow disease growth in people whose cancer has already been treated and is measurable on scans.
This trial studies whether adding an exercise program helps people with soft tissue sarcoma in an arm or leg during a planned treatment course. The treatment they look at is radiation before surgery, then surgery to remove the tumor, and they want to see how exercise affects outcomes and recovery.
This study tests whether an exercise program can help young people who had sarcoma (a type of cancer in bones or soft tissues) become more physically active.
