12-week high-intensity interval training for recent survivors of childhood and young-adult Hodgkin lymphoma

Official title: Feasibility of High Intensity Interval Training in Survivors of Childhood, Adolescent, and Young Adult Hodgkin Lymphoma

Run by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital · NCT07222345 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This test tries a 12-week, remotely supervised high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program to see if recently treated survivors of childhood, adolescent, and young adult Hodgkin lymphoma can complete the program and improve fitness and health markers.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are Hodgkin lymphoma survivors aged over 10 and under 25 at enrollment who finished treatment within the past 24 months, are medically cleared for exercise, and can use the provided web-based platform.

Probably not a fit

Patients with relapsed disease, acute heart failure, current pregnancy, those already doing HIIT or more than 420 minutes per week of moderate-to-vigorous activity, or those not medically cleared are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

What this trial studies

This pilot tests the feasibility of a remotely supervised 12-week HIIT program in survivors who completed Hodgkin lymphoma treatment within the past 24 months. Participants receive an iPad and heart rate monitor and join live web-based HIIT sessions led by exercise physiologists. Researchers conduct baseline and post-intervention assessments including exercise testing, body composition, autonomic function, peripheral neuropathy screening, and blood biomarkers of biological aging. The study will report participation and completion rates and collect preliminary data on cardiorespiratory fitness, physical function, and physical activity.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the program could improve cardiorespiratory fitness, body composition, and markers of premature aging in young Hodgkin lymphoma survivors and provide a scalable remote exercise option.

How similar studies have gone: HIIT has shown fitness and cardiovascular benefits in adult cancer survivor studies, but its feasibility and effects have not been well tested in recent survivors from pediatric and young-adult Hodgkin lymphoma.
