Bridging Adolescent and Young Adult Sarcoma Survivors With Personalized Oncology Exercise Service (AYA-ONE): A Pilot Intervention

This is a single-arm pilot study evaluating the feasibility of using a modified Exercise in Cancer Evaluation and Decision Support (EXCEEDS) algorithm to triage and refer adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with sarcoma to rehabilitation and exercise services at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI). The AYA-ONE study has two parts: Part 1 includes triage and referral using the EXCEEDS tool, and Part 2 includes a 12-week personalized exercise program for eligible participants. The EXCEEDS tool is designed to help match participants to rehabilitation and exercise services based on their needs. Participants in Part 2 will receive a Garmin activity monitor, resistance bands, a stepper machine, and a 12-week exercise program, which may be supervised or unsupervised. The research study procedures include: screening for eligibility, triage and referral using the EXCEEDS tool, rehabilitation and exercise service referral, and, for eligible participants, a 12-week personalized exercise program. It is expected that about 40 people will take part in Part 1 of this study. About 20 people are expected to participate in the full study, including both Part 1 and Part 2. Participation in this research study is expected to last about 6 months.
