PROACTIVE Trial Summary

This trial will adapt and test an evidence-based physical activity intervention, The Community Health Activities Model Program for Seniors II (CHAMPS II), in the hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) setting for adults 60 years and older in order to improve cognitive function.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for older adults aged 60+ who have hematological malignancies like lymphoma or leukemia and are undergoing stem cell transplant. They must be able to walk a short distance, speak English, and consent to participate. Care-partners of these patients can also join if they meet similar criteria.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests an adapted physical activity program called CHAMPS-II, designed to improve cognitive function in seniors post-stem cell transplant. Participants will engage in light to moderate exercises until Day 100 post-transplant compared with a wait-list control group.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves physical activity, potential side effects may include typical exercise-related issues such as muscle soreness or fatigue. However, participants with severe reactions during initial assessments or those not cleared by physicians are excluded.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Adapted CHAMPS-II interventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
All participants in Aim 2 (preliminary testing) and Aim 3 (RCT) will participate in the CHAMPS-II physical activity program adapted to the HCT setting. Testing for outcome measures will be completed, and feedback on the intervention will be obtained via qualitative interviews from 1)adult participants 60+ years receiving HCT, 2)participants' care-partner, and 3)HCT team members. Aim 3 participants will be randomized to either the immediate intervention (intervention then follow-up) or delayed intervention (wait period and then intervention).
Group II: Feedback for Preliminary AdaptationActive Control1 Intervention
Participants in Aim 1 will participate in qualitative interviews to obtain feedback on the CHAMPS-II intervention and survivorship education active control condition materials. Interviews will be with 1)adult participants 60+ years who have recently undergone HCT, 2)participants' care-partner, and 3)HCT team members.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Does this research endeavor still have opportunities for enrollment?

"Affirmative. The information on clinicaltrials.gov demonstrates that this experiment is actively looking for participants, having first been posted on November 18th 2021 and last updated November 26th 2021. 90 individuals are needed to be enrolled at one medical facility."

Answered by AI

What goals are being sought to be achieved through this experiment?

"The primary objective of this 12-week trial is to assess improvement in executive function as determined by COWAT. Secondary goals include evaluating changes in global cognitive ability with MoCA, subjective memory through Neuro-QOL Cognition Function Short Form, and overall cognition assessed using Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)."

Answered by AI

How many participants are being given treatment as part of this clinical experiment?

"Affirmative. The clinicaltrials.gov database states that this medical research, initially posted on November 18th 2021, is currently attempting to enrol patients. 90 participants must be recruited from 1 location for the trial to proceed."
