Multiple Myeloma Clinical Trial
Prehabilitation Feasibility Among Older Adults Undergoing Transplantation
Summary
This is a pilot feasibility trial among older adults (≥60y) scheduled to undergo Autologous Stem Cell transplantation at UAB. Participants will be randomized into either a prehabilitation program or an attention control group before their transplant. The primary outcomes will be feasibility and secondary outcomes include changes in physical function at the time of transplant and at 12 weeks follow up.
Full Description
This is a pilot randomized trial of older adults 60y and above planned to undergo Autologous Stem Cell Transplant for Multiple Myeloma. Eligible participants will be randomized (like flipping a coin) to one of two study conditions: 1) an 8 week long home-based prehabilitation exercise program delivered using a telehealth format or 2) an 8-week long nutrition counseling (attention control group). Assessments will occur at baseline, post-intervention (during transplant) and at 12-weeks post-transplant. Investigators will assess the feasibility and acceptability of our program as well as preliminary impact of the program on physical functioning during these time-periods.
