Summary
Study start date: April 25, 2022
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.The FORTEe trial is a patient-centered study focused on children and adolescents undergoing cancer treatment. The main goal is to understand if supervised exercise can help increase muscle strength and reduce muscle loss due to bedrest. This could potentially improve quality of life and treatment efficiency, ultimately aiding in the fight against childhood cancer. The study also plans to use innovative technologies like augmented reality to make the exercise training more effective, age-appropriate, and personalized. The long-term aim is to establish exercise as a standard part of care for all childhood cancer patients across the EU and beyond.
