Study Summary

This trial will determine if supervised exercise can improve outcomes for people undergoing a type of stem cell transplant. Up to 72 people will take part.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for older adults (60+) who are either pre-frail or frail and are planning to undergo or have undergone an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) due to a blood cancer. Participants will be split into two groups: one that starts the exercise program before HCT and another that begins after HCT.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing if a supervised exercise program can improve health outcomes for those receiving allogeneic HCT. It's a pilot study, meaning it's preliminary research to see if the idea is feasible. Subjects will be divided into two cohorts based on when they start exercising relative to their transplant procedure.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves an exercise program rather than medication, side effects may include typical physical activity-related issues such as muscle soreness, fatigue, or injury. The intensity of these side effects would vary depending on individual health status.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort B (Rehab)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
All patients 60 years and older upon discharge from their initial hospital stay for HCT will attend at least weekly exercise sessions with a physical therapist and be given an exercise program to complete at home with sessions continued through Day +100 after HCT.
Group II: Cohort A (Prehab)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Pre-frail and frail subjects will attend at least twice weekly exercise sessions with a physical therapist and be given an exercise program to complete at home prior to admission for HCT. Patients enrolled in this cohort can continue on to Cohort B.
