Breast Cancer Clinical Trial

Exercise, Fitness and Tumor Profiling in Breast Cancer Patients

Summary

This study is designed to find out how engaging in regular exercise (or not) alters the biology of breast tumors as well as the normal tissue (if available) surrounding the tumor. The investigators hope that findings from this initial study will guide the design of future studies to examine how changes in exercise alter breast tumor biology.

If a female of child-bearing potential, must not be pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the study.

Women <50 years old of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test (urine HCG or serum) within 14 days of enrollment.

Exclusion Criteria:

Cohort 1:

Received any form of neoadjuvant treatment
Presence of any other concurrent, actively treated malignancy
Presence of metastatic disease

If performing a CPET, any of the following contraindications:

Acute myocardial infarction within 3-5 days of any planned study procedures;
Unstable angina
Uncontrolled arrhythmia causing symptoms or hemodynamic compromise
Recurrent syncope
Active endocarditis
Acute myocarditis or pericarditis
Symptomatic severe aortic stenosis
Uncontrolled heart failure
Acute pulmonary embolus or pulmonary infarction within 3 months of any planned study procedures
Thrombosis of lower extremities
Suspected dissecting aneurysm
Uncontrolled asthma
Pulmonary edema
Respiratory failure
Acute non-cardiopulmonary disorders that may affect exercise performance or be aggravated by exercise (i.e., infection, renal failure, thyrotoxicosis).
Mental impairment leading to inability to cooperate
If performing a CPET, room air desaturation at rest ≤ 85%
Any other condition or intercurrent illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, makes the participant a poor candidate for the study.

Cohort 2:

Use of any selective estrogen receptor modulator or aromatase inhibitor within 6 months of consent, including, but not limited to: tamoxifen, raloxifene, arzoxifene, acolbifene, anastrozole, exemestane, and letrozole.
Enrollment on an interventional investigational study
Bilateral breast implants

History of any of the following:

Invasive breast cancer
DCIS
Any current invasive cancer diagnosis
Metastatic malignancy of any kind

If performing a CPET, any of the following contraindications:

Acute myocardial infarction within 3-5 days of any planned study procedures;
Unstable angina
Uncontrolled arrhythmia causing symptoms or hemodynamic compromise
Recurrent syncope
Active endocarditis
Acute myocarditis or pericarditis
Symptomatic severe aortic stenosis
Uncontrolled heart failure
Acute pulmonary embolus or pulmonary infarction within 3 months of any planned study procedures
Thrombosis of lower extremities
Suspected dissecting aneurysm
Uncontrolled asthma
Pulmonary edema
Respiratory failure
Acute non-cardiopulmonary disorders that may affect exercise performance or be aggravated by exercise (i.e., infection, renal failure, thyrotoxicosis).
Mental impairment leading to inability to cooperate
If performing a CPET, room air desaturation at rest ≤ 85%
Any other condition or intercurrent illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, makes the participant a poor candidate for the core biopsy or the study.
