TRIAL DESIGN
Trial Design A multi-national, multi-centre, randomised phase III interventional study.
Study Aim To make a significant contribution to the main CHALLENGE Trial (to determine if a structured PA intervention can improve survival in patients with high risk Stage II/Stage III colon cancer), to ensure results are generalisable to the UK population and to determine feasibility and cost-effectiveness of delivering, and adherence to, a PA intervention in the UK.
Objective 1: Three year disease-free survival.
“Objective 2: Secondary objectives are to assess:
• The feasibility of delivering the PA intervention in colon cancer survivors in the UK.
• Objective fitness and compliance with the PA programme.
• The acceptability of the PA programme to patients, families and health care professionals in a UK setting.
• Health and Social Service Use and associated costs
• Impact of colon cancer on work and activities”
