Exercise before lung cancer surgery during chemo-immunotherapy
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding a supervised physical exercise program to your usual chemotherapy and immunotherapy before lung cancer surgery can change the immune environment inside the tumor. The goal is to see if exercise can make the treatment more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung cancer, at a stage that is locally advanced but still removable with surgery (stage IIA or IIIA).
- Your tumor tests positive for a protein called PD-L1, which helps the immune system fight cancer.
- You are in generally good health (able to do daily activities, with a performance status of 0 or 1).
- You have not had previous chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation for this lung cancer.
- Your doctor has confirmed you are medically fit to take part in a physical exercise program.
- You can understand, read, and speak French, and you are covered by a social security scheme.

This study tests a personalized exercise program for people with stage II or III non-small cell lung cancer who are about to start cancer treatment before surgery. The goal is to see if exercise can help prepare your body for treatment and recovery.
This trial tests whether adding a structured exercise program during radiation and chemotherapy helps people with locally advanced lung cancer. It aims to improve physical function and quality of life.
This trial tests a coaching program to help you become more physically active after surgery for early-stage lung cancer. It may help you recover and improve your well-being.
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 looks at whether a “prehabilitation” (guided exercise and fitness preparation) program helps people with non-small cell lung cancer get ready for surgery after starting treatment before surgery. It may help you tolerate treatment and surgery better if you can do the required fitness testing and procedures.
