Effectiveness of a Personalized 6-month Programme on Frailty in Older Patients Treated for Bladder or Kidney Cancer - FRAGECO - Multicenter, Controlled, Randomized Study


Sponsor

Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne

Enrollment

106 participants

Start Date

Dec 3, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Bladder and kidney cancers are commonly diagnosed in older adults. Surgery remains the primary treatment modality for patients with kidney or bladder cancer. In older patients, common co-morbidities include fatigue, physical deconditioning characterized by reduced cardiorespiratory fitness and progressing sarcopenia, pain- whether disease- related or treatment-induced- and undernutrition. These factors increased the risk of post-operative complications and exacerbate patient frailty. The investigators propose a personalized 6-month program both pre- and post-surgery, including adapted physical activity sessions, therapeutic education workshops, and systematic referral to the department's DAPAP program.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing whether a personalized 6-month program focused on exercise and physical wellness can reduce frailty in older patients who have been treated surgically for bladder or kidney cancer. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with bladder or kidney cancer - You are scheduled for or have recently had surgery - You do not have severe cognitive problems that would prevent you from understanding the study - You are affiliated with a social security scheme - You have agreed to participate and signed a consent form **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your surgery has already been completed before enrollment - You have significant health conditions that make physical activity unsafe (e.g., heart problems, severe breathing issues, disabling joint problems) - You are under legal guardianship or have restricted liberty - You are already receiving a physiotherapy prehabilitation program from a private physiotherapist Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
