Feasibility Assessment of Adapted Physical Activity in Patients Treated for a Brain Tumor
France90 participantsStarted 2026-06-01
Plain-language summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the feasibility of an adapted physical activity (APA) program in adult patients (≥18 years) with primary brain tumors, regardless of tumor type, grade, treatment stage, or the presence of motor, sensory, attention, concentration, or memory deficits.
The main question it aims to answer is:
What is the effective adherence rate to an APA program among eligible patients with primary brain tumors?
Additional questions include:
* What is the observance rate (number of sessions completed, intensity achieved, and duration) during the 3-month supervised APA program?
* What is the retention rate (proportion of patients completing the program and continuing APA beyond the initial period)?
* What is the impact of APA on quality of life, anxiety-depression, and cancer-related symptoms (measured via QLQ-BN20, HADS, and MFI-20 questionnaires at baseline, 3, and 4 months)?
Participants will:
* Undergo a 3-month supervised APA program (with possible continuation beyond this period).
* Use connected watches to monitor physical activity (if they accept the general conditions of use).
* Complete self-questionnaires (IPAQ, BREQ-2, QPP, QLQ-BN20, HADS, MFI-20) at inclusion, 3 months, and 4 months.
* Be followed for a total of 4 months after inclusion.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial is focused on measuring how well patients actually stick to an adapted physical activity program during brain tumor treatment — can you help me understand why adherence is being studied as the main goal, and what that tells us about where the research currently stands?
2Since this trial is listed as 'not yet recruiting,' do you have a sense of when it might open, and would it make sense for me to consider it now or focus on other options in the meantime?
3The trial involves adapted physical activity, which is a structured exercise program tailored to patients' abilities — given my specific diagnosis and current physical condition, is that kind of program something you'd think is realistic and safe for me to try?
4Because this is a feasibility study with no assigned phase, it sounds like researchers are still figuring out whether this approach is practical before testing whether it actually improves outcomes — does that mean the evidence for benefit is still very early, and how does that weigh against starting standard treatment right away?
5Are there any standard-of-care rehabilitation or physical therapy programs already available to me that serve a similar purpose, in case this trial isn't open or isn't the right fit?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
