Summary

Cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) has become a major cause of morbidity and mortality among cancer survivors. Although cardiac rehabilitation is recommended for cardiovascular disease prevention and management, high-quality randomized controlled evidence regarding its efficacy in cardio-oncology populations remains limited.

This multicenter, prospective, parallel-group, superiority randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate whether a structured cardio-oncology rehabilitation (CORE) program combined with usual care can improve cardiovascular outcomes in patients with CTRCD or cancer survivors at high cardiovascular risk, compared with usual care alone.

A total of 800 participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either structured cardio-oncology rehabilitation plus usual care or usual care alone. The intervention includes individualized exercise training, nutritional management, psychosocial support, cardiovascular risk-factor optimization, and patient education. Participants will be followed for 12 months.

The primary endpoint is time to first major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) within 12 months. Secondary endpoints include changes in cardiorespiratory fitness, cardiac function, biomarkers, quality of life, physical function, psychological status, safety outcomes, and health economic outcomes.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Structured Cardio-Oncology Rehabilitation

A structured cardio-oncology rehabilitation program including individualized aerobic and resistance exercise training, nutritional management, psychosocial support, cardiovascular risk-factor optimization, and patient education. The intervention consists of a 12-week intensive rehabilitation phase followed by maintenance rehabilitation guidance through 12 months.

BEHAVIORAL

Usual Care

Participants receive routine oncology and cardiovascular follow-up and general health advice without structured cardio-oncology rehabilitation or supervised exercise training.
