Exercise training after an acute VTE is safe but underutilized.9-11 Physical activity provides improvements in aerobic capacity, fatigue, and QoL and a decrease in PTS progression among VTE survivors.12-14 Obesity, a risk factor for VTE, may be worsened by sedentary behavior after an acute VTE.15 Only 50% of pediatric VTE survivors resume pre-VTE physical activity within 6 months.16 Extrapolating from above, we posited that a physical activity regimen for children after VTE is unlikely to be harmful, may be of benefit, and needs further study. In the past, investigator-initiated trials involving the prevention or treatment of pediatric VTE have been terminated prematurely for futility and feasibility concerns.17-19 Therefore, we designed a small-scale randomized controlled trial (RCT) to establish the feasibility of prescribing physical activity that would closely approximate physical activity prescription in the context of a large, fully powered RCT. A major feasibility issue that precedes a full RCT is the need to derive an effect-size estimate for the intervention, which precluded using a single-arm cohort design. We hypothesized that adherence to a physical activity regimen would be feasible and potentially effective post-VTE in children. Our primary objectives were to assess patient eligibility, consent, adherence, and retention in a pilot trial of prescribed physical activity following an initial VTE. Our secondary objectives were to obtain estimates of effect size associated with the prescribed activity by describing the within-subject changes in PTS, QoL, and coagulation biomarkers before and after intervention in each group.
We estimated a feasible sample size based on institutional VTE numbers and published flat rules of thumbs for an overall pilot trial sample size of a 2-armed trial as cited previously.27-29 We identified 268 children with VTE in the preceding 2 years (n = 130 in 2014 and n = 138 in 2015). Of these, half involved lower-extremity thrombosis (n = 134 of 268 [50%]), and of these, 52% fell within the age range of our trial (n = 67). Considering contraindications to exercise, we estimated 60 eligible children over a 2-year period. We decided on a conservative estimate of 44 (20 in each arm). We reasoned that it would be a large enough sample size to inform about the practicalities of eligibility, consent, adherence to exercise, and retention that might arise for a single site in a definitive trial of exercise in pediatric VTE. Post-hoc power analyses show that with 111 patients screened, we were powered to estimate an eligibility rate of 30% to within a 95% confidence interval of 8.5%. At an eligibility rate of 30%, 33 patients were expected be eligible and an estimated consent rate of 30% to within a 95% confidence interval of 15.6%.
Results of our single-center pilot trial suggest that it is feasible to enroll and randomize pediatric VTE patients to a prescribed physical activity regimen 3 months following VTE diagnosis, but metrics for adherence to enhanced physical activity and retention were not met. These results provide the rationale to explore the reasons for lack of adherence, such as exercise intolerance and motivation to exercise, and low retention before moving forward with a larger definitive trial of exercise training in children following VTE.
