Study Overview

POP-UP: a Single-arm, Two-cohort Study: Trimodal Prehab for Upper GI and Pancreatic Cancer

This is a multicenter, two-cohort, open-label, single-arm feasibility study. The primary objective is to assess the feasibility of the 8-week trimodal prehabilitation program alongside perioperative triplet chemotherapy in eligible patients with localized pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) or oesogastric cancer (OGC) .

The POP-UP study aims to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of an 8-week trimodal pre/posthabilitation program (consisting of personalized Adapted Physical Activity [APA], nutritional assessment, and psychological support) with remote monitoring of the APA sessions and nurse coordination in patients with localized (resectable or borderline resectable) PDAC who are treated with neoadjuvant or induction treatment (FOLFIRINOX: 5-fluorouracil/folinic acid, oxaliplatin, irinotecan) prior to surgery and with resectable OGC treated with perioperative chemotherapy (FLOT: 5-fluorouracil/folinic acid, oxaliplatin, docetaxel). The prehabilitation program will be conducted during neoadjuvant chemotherapy and the 3-5 weeks prior to surgery for a total of 8 weeks before surgery. There will be a total of three prehabilitation hospital days during the prehabilitation program. The preoperative prehabilitation will include: * Once per month, a prehabilitation hospital-day with functional capacities assessment with validated tests made by a physiotherapist or an APA professional (according of center resources/functioning), medical and nurse assessment evaluating performance status, chemotherapy toxicity and tolerance, and nutritional assessment (according to the functioning of each center it will be made by these professionals -with university training on nutrition- or a dietician). A therapeutic training session on the adherence to the prehabilitation program will be done by the nurse (trained in therapeutic education). * Weekly, an APA professional trainer will follow via using app (Activiti®) the APA home-based program. It will be based on the functional capacities assessment made during the prehabilitation hospital day. The exercise training program will consist of twice per week autonomy sessions, supervised and adapted by the APA professional, and once per week a guided session with the APA professional. The patient will have a total of 3 physical activity sessions per week. * Once per week, the nurse practitioner (or case manager, according to center functioning) will evaluate the patient via a videoconference to assess the chemotherapy toxicity and tolerance and patient's weight modifications. The posthabilitation program will start for a total of 8 weeks, one week after surgery discharge. The structure is the same as the prehabilitation program except for the follow of chemotherapy toxicity and tolerance that will be replaced by the follow of the surgical complications/consequences. There will be a total of three posthabilitation days at hospital during the posthabilitation program.

OTHER: Cohort 1 and Cohort 2

Cohort 1 - Patients with PDAC Cohort 2 - Patients with OGC

OTHER: Prehabilitation program

  • Cohort 1 - Prehabilitation program will be implemented during the last cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (cycle 5 - cycle 6 or cycle 6 - cycle 8) and the weeks preceding surgery (planned 3-4 weeks after the last chemotherapy cycle) Cohort 2 - Prehabilit
Primary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Rate of patients with successful completion of an 8-week trimodal prehabilitation programThe success of prehabilitation is defined by the achievement of the following three criteria: 1. Completion of at least 75% of the planned APA sessions: 6 of 8 sessions with an APA professional and 12 of 16 sessions in autonomy with remote APA supervision and 2. Completion of at least 75% of the nutritional evaluations: 6 of 8 planned evaluations and 3. Psychological or psychiatric visit before the surgery in function of practice center /resources if a psychological need is shown by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale8 weeks
Secondary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Success rate (as defined above) for Adapted Physical Activity (APA), nutritional, and psychological interventions measured separately.The success of APA, nutritional, and psychological interventions analyzed separately8 weeks
Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) assessmentHRQoL assessed using the EORTC Core Quality of Life questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) questionnaire for all patients.Up to 3 years
Rate of patients who start and complete post-habilitation Adapted Physical Activity (APA) sessionsRate of patients who start and complete post-habilitation APA sessions; reasons for drop-out.8 weeks
Nutritional status assessmentNutritional status assessment by: Body mass index (BMI) - BMI will be calculated by dividing mass in kilograms (kg) by height in meters squared (m2). Food intake will be measured by visual analog scale SEFI [Score d'Evaluation Facile des Ingesta=Ingesta Easy Evaluation Score]). The SEFI is a score rated from 0 (nothing is consumed) to 10 (everything is consumed) in whole numbers. A SEFI < 7/10 corresponds to decreased food intake and is associated with risk of malnutrition. A SEFI ≥ 7 corresponds to satisfactory food intake.8 weeks
Physical/functional test assessmentFunctional tests: 6-minute waking test, handgrip test, one minute sit-to-stand (STS), assessment of Borg scale post physical exercise will be measured. A 6-minutes walking test (distance measured in meters) will be performed. Dyspnea will be measured by the Borg scale Borg scale (ratings of the effort to breathe; a scale from 0 to 10, where 0 represents no dyspnea and 10 represents maximal dyspnea). Scores are obtained at the end of the walking test and reflect the maximum degree of dyspnea at any time during the walk test. Handgrip test - hand grip strength will be measured using dynamometer in sitting position and will be expressed in kilograms (kg). One-minute sit-and-stand test - Patients will perform stand-and-sit transitions on the chair as many times as possible within one minute. Number of of repetitions will be measured.8 weeks
Number of patients with reduced chemotherapy toleranceChemotherapy tolerance: toxicities (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE] v5.0) of grade ≥ 3, toxicities requiring hospitalization, treatment delays or dose reduction due to toxicities8 weeks
Number of patients with chemotherapy dose modificationModification of the chemotherapy related dose-intensity relation on the completion or not of the prehabilitation program8 weeks

Disease-free survival (DFS) assessmentDFS defined as the time between the date inclusion and the date corresponding at 12 months after surgeryFrom inclusion up to 12 months after surgery
Adherence to Adapted Physical Activity (APA) program assessmentAdherence to the APA program: by patient reported outcomes collected via Activiti® app and the APA professional assessment8 weeks
Physical activity behavior changes assessmentSimplified International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-S) will be administrated to assess physical activity and sedentary behavior changes. It is a 7-item questionnaire in which duration (hours and minutes per day), frequency (times per week), and intensity (walking, moderate and vigorous) of the previous 7 days will be collected. Sedentary time (self-reported time spent sitting) in the same time period will be recorded (hours/min/day).8 weeks
