Overview

The purpose of the study is to measure the muscle strength of the quadriceps 6 months from the start of the intervention, either the maximum load resistance that can be lifted in a single repetition under standardized conditions with the thigh press.

Description

This is a prospective, longitudinal, open, comparative (two arms), randomized, monocentric study, focusing on a therapeutic strategy (muscle strengthening program with or without NeuroMuscular ElectroStimulation).

Patients will be cared for according to a nutritional and sports support program offered routinely in the investigating center, which corresponds to the recommendations for the care of patients with prostate cancer under Androgen Deprivation Therapy.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient treated with pharmacological androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer for more than 26 weeks;
  • Performance index (WHO): 0 or 1;
  • Patient able to understand the information related to the study, to read the information leaflet and having consented to participate in the study;
  • Patient benefiting from a social security scheme;

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Weight ≥ 130 kg;
  • Vegetarian food;
  • Other associated neoplasia;
  • Patient having undergone a bilateral orchiectomy;
  • Painful bone metastases, or at risk of fracture;
  • Anemia (hemoglobin < 10 g/dL);
  • Thrombocytopenia (platelets < 50 G/L);
  • Renal impairment (creatinine clearance < 60 mL/min, or albuminuria > 30);
  • Patient planning to travel more than 4 weeks continuously in the next 52 weeks;
  • Absolute contraindication to physical training (e.g. musculoskeletal, cardiovascular or neurological disorders), according to the doctor specializing in the associated medical condition;
  • Contraindication to the use of the neuromuscular electrostimulation device or the impedance meter, in particular infectious disease in the acute phase, fungal infection, dermatitis, unbalanced arrhythmia, epilepsy, wearing an active implantable device (pacemaker, heart artificial, prosthesis incorporating an electromagnetic system), open wound;
  • Sports activity already supervised by a third party or at an equal or higher level than the bodybuilding/muscle strengthening work recommended in the study;
  • Protected adult patient (under guardianship or curatorship, or under a regime of deprivation of liberty);
  • Patient participating in another research, or in a period of exclusion from another research.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
