Cancer Patients' Performance Status Assessed Using Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing and Wearable Data Generation

Completed

Conditions studied: Malignant Solid Tumor, Hematologic Malignancies

In brief

The primary objective of this study is to establish the feasibility and value of physical fitness assessment within patients receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy. If successful, this project will establish the groundwork for physical function assessment in larger cancer clinical trials to assist patient selection and evaluation of toxicity and/or response among trial participants.
