FORCE is a randomized home-based resistance training/strength training (RT) intervention study for Stage II and III colon cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Participants will be 180 newly diagnosed Stage II and III colon cancer patients from Kaiser Permanente of Northern California (KPNC), the Penn State Cancer Institute (PSCI), and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI). The intervention will begin within the first weeks of adjuvant chemotherapy and continue exercise through the completion of post-operative chemotherapy. Specifically, the investigators will examine between group differences for RT versus waitlist control for chemotherapy outcomes including dose delays, dose reductions, early stoppage and Grade 3 and 4 toxicities. The investigators will also study changes in muscle mass (MM) and changes in specific inflammatory markers (e.g. CRP, IL-6 and TNF-RII) as potential markers of change in response to RT. To determine effects of change of MM on chemotherapy-specific drug clearance, the investigators will examine the impact body composition changes on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of 5-FU and oxaliplatin, two of the most commonly used drugs for colon cancer.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Resistance training group | Experimental | Participants randomized to the resistance training (RT) group will receive an in-person and telephone-based intervention to promote home-based resistance training. The exercise intervention will begin by the 3rd adjuvant chemotherapy visit and continue exercise through the completion of post-operative chemotherapy. Participants will work with an exercise professional with expertise working with oncology patients. |
|
| Usual care group | No Intervention | Participants randomized to the usual care (U) group will be instructed to refer to their physician regarding what forms of exercise are safe for them, given their medical history. The U group will be told to continue whatever exercise program they have been undertaking up to enrolling in the study, but not to increase exercise or begin weight-lifting over the period of study participation. |
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Resistance training | Behavioral | The intervention goal is for study participants to exercise with progressively higher weights for resistance training to achieve a 1-kg increase in lean body mass by the end of the intervention. During an in-person visit on the same day as a chemotherapy infusion session, exercise professionals will teach participants a series of exercises to be completed at home twice weekly throughout the intervention. Participants will also receive protein powder, which they will be instructed to consume with meals twice a day. During subsequent infusion sessions, the exercise professional will meet in-person with participants to evaluate their ability to increase weights, and adjust exercises appropriately. In between visits, the exercise professional will check-in with participants by phone. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Relative dose intensity (RDI) | Chemotherapy completion rates will be assessed as relative dose intensity for each agent and then average relative dose intensity (ARDI), which considers all chemotherapy agents in a regimen. We will examine differences in RDI for each chemotherapy agent and the ARDI across all agents between the RT group and the UC group. | 3-6 months |
| Number of moderate and severe chemotherapy-associated toxicities | Moderate and severe chemotherapy-associated toxicities will be assessed via a NCI PRO-CTCAE questionnaire, which is a patient-reported outcome measure developed to evaluate symptomatic toxicity in patients on cancer clinical trials. | 3-6 months |
