Summary

The prevalence of cancer with cachexia is rising sharply. More than 80% of digestive cancer patients are affected by cancer cachexia. Cachexia leads to weight loss, and reduces quality of life (QoL), cancer treatment response and survival. Exercise could counteract the deleterious effects of cachexia. The 2CAPA study aims to assess the effectiveness of a 12-week exercise program on various symptoms associated with cancer cachexia, including Health-Related QoL (HRQoL), fatigue, appetite, body composition, physical fitness, and physical activity levels. Additionally, it seeks to examine compliance with the exercise program, identify barriers to regular exercise and determine how compliance influences physical and psychological effects. Furthermore, this study aims to determine the maintenance of physical activity levels and the effects post-program for one year follow-up on cachexia-related symptoms.

Methods: This study will include 31 cancer patients with cachexia. Participants will receive a supervised exercise program lasting 12-weeks with two sessions per week combining endurance and resistance training. Outcomes include HRQoL, fatigue, appetite, anthropometric parameters, physical performances, and physical activity levels at baseline, at the end of the 12-week exercise program, and at 3-, 6- and 12- months post-intervention.

Exercise Intervention

The exercise intervention will consist of a personalized and supervised program lasting 12 weeks with two sessions per week, held on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Sports and Medicine Center SPORMED in Rennes, France. Each session will last 1 hour under the supervision of physiotherapists. Each session will combine endurance and resistance training, commencing with a 6-minute cardiovascular warm-up on ergometers (cycling ergometer or treadmill). This will be followed by 20 minutes at moderate intensity (60-70% of
