Trimodal prehabilitation is a preoperative three-tiered (trimodal) approach to optimizing physical and mental health. It has been found to successfully improve functional recovery in patients undergoing colorectal surgery following an evidence-based enhanced-recovery pathway (ERP). It is unknown whether the same program is effective in patients undergoing a similar surgery for bladder cancer (radical cystectomy).
Objective: To evaluate the appropriateness of a standardized prehabilitation program for implementation into an enhanced recovery pathway for cystectomy patients and determine whether prehabilitation facilitates earlier recovery of functional capacity.
Hypothesis: Prehabilitation will ultimately improve recovery of functional capacity, clinical and patient-centered outcomes in patients undergoing radical cystectomy for bladder cancer.
Design: Participants will follow an 8-week trimodal prehabilitation program consisting of exercise therapy combined with nutritional counseling, protein supplementation, and psychological care; they will be compared to a cohort of participants following ERP care alone.
Conclusion: The proposal will provide insight into the feasibility and effectiveness of trimodal prehabilitation for radical cystectomy patients and may ultimately lead to improved clinical outcomes and reduced morbidity.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trimodal Prehab & ERP | Experimental | Trimodal prehab includes:
|
|
| No Prehab; ERP Alone | Active Comparator | The active comparator group will be given a home exercise program, nutrition education, and a take-home anxiety reduction program. |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trimodal Prehab & ERP | Combination Product | 1-hr daily exercise will be completed a total of 5d/week, of which 2 of these sessions are completed through a community fitness center. Following these sessions, the participant will consume a high-protein oral supplement. Additionally, during the program, participants will be given the option of attending a stress-reduction group and will receive a take-home anxiety-reduction program. They will have access to a physiotherapist, kinesiologist, registered dietitian, and physician throughout the program. The total length of this program is 8-weeks and is timed to occur in the waiting period between the consent for surgery and operation date. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| 6-minute walk test (6MWT) | The 6MWT is a sub-maximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance. The distance covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as the outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity. | Multiple time-points over 20-weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| 10-meter walk test (10mWT) | The 10 Metre Walk Test is a performance measure used to assess walking speed in metres per second over a short distance. It can be employed to determine functional mobility, gait, and vestibular function. | Multiple time-points over 20-weeks |
| 30s sit-to-stand test (30CST) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Length of hospital stay (LOS) | Length of stay in the hospital starting from post-operative day #0 and terminating when the participant is discharged from the hospital. | Collected at the finale of participant-involvement (20-weeks) |
| 30 day readmission rate |
Inclusion Criteria:
Exclusion Criteria:
Presence of a condition or abnormality that in the opinion of the investigator would compromise the safety of the patient or adherence to the program. This includes:
Undergoing radical cystectomy for a reason other than bladder cancer.
Poor comprehension of English or French
Screened by Total Cardiology staff and determined to be inappropriate for prehabilitation at their facility.
