Trial Title: Preoperative Physical Activity Improvement With the Use of Activity Trackers Before Radical Cystectomy (PreAct)

NCT ID: NCT06416319

Condition: Bladder Cancer
Bladder Neoplasm
Bladder Urothelial Carcinoma

Conditions: Official terms:
Urinary Bladder Neoplasms

Conditions: Keywords:
Cystectomy
Preoperative Exercise
Fitness Trackers
Exercise
Frailty

Study type: Interventional

Study phase: N/A

Overall status: Recruiting

Study design:

Allocation: Randomized

Intervention model: Parallel Assignment

Intervention model description: Participants with an indication for radical cystectomy are included in this study. Recruitment, including eligibility criteria testing and randomized allocation to the intervention or control group, will take place on the day of premedication approximately 7 to 10 days prior to surgery. This period represents the prehabilitation period.

Primary purpose: Treatment

Masking: None (Open Label)

Intervention:

Intervention type: Device
Intervention name: Daily Activity Goal and Feedback
Description: The daily activity target is a fixed number of steps. The exact number of steps is determined beforehand as part of the case number planning in a pilot study with ten participants and adjusted if necessary. The activity target we suggest is 8000 steps. In addition, the participants receive feedback several times a day about the steps needed to reach the goal and whether they have ultimately reached the daily goal.
Arm group label: Daily Activity Goal and Feedback

Summary: A bicentric, open-label randomised controlled trial (RCT) is planned to investigate whether the use of fitness wristbands in a defined preoperative period prior to radical cystectomy leads to a preoperative increase in participants' physical activity (number of steps per day) up to the day of radical cystectomy.

Detailed description: The goal of the PreAct study is to test whether the use of fitness wristbands in a defined preoperative period prior to radical cystectomy with a daily activity goal and feedback on the achievement of this goal improves the participants' physical activity up to the day of radical cystectomy. In addition to the fitness tracker, we provide each patient with a smartphone. For each fitness tracker a separate account in a fitness application is set up for (e.g. name: tracker1.0 with the corresponding e-mail address and password). Neither the patients in the Daily activity Goal and Feedback arm nor the No Daily Activity Goal or Feedback arm receive the access data to the accounts. However, the patients in the intervention group receive the access PIN for the smartphone. On this smartphone a messaging service and the fitness application are installed. The patient thus receives, for example the wristband tracker1.0, which is registered with the corresponding access data in the fitness application of the smartphone given to them. For the entire preoperative period, the Bluetooth function on the smartphone must always stay activated so that the fitness application and the fitness tracker are continuously connected to each other. A detailed description of the timing and implementation of the intervention are described in "Study design" and "Arm and Interventions".
