  • Health counseling and exerciseBehavioural

    The intervention is initiated during chemotherapy treatment (consolidation) in the outpatient clinic and continues for 6 weeks. The intervention is a three hour/wk supervised in-hospital programme of aerobic (stationary cycle) and functional muscle training, progressive relaxation training, nutrition supplement (protein and carbohydrate) immediately after training and two health-promoting counseling sessions - Further, patients are fitted with a step counter pedometer.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Feasibility - adherence rates

    Measured: Adherence to the intervention components from baseline to 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (9)

    Measured: Change from baseline in 6MWD at 6 weeks

  3. Attrition

    Number of patients that withdrew from the project

    Measured: Withdrawal from the project from baseline to 6 weeks

  4. Timed chair stand

    Change in the number of repetitions

    Measured: Change from baseline in timed chair stand at 6 weeks

  5. Timed bicep curl

    Change in number of repetitions

    Measured: Change from baseline in timed bicep curl at 6 weeks

  6. FACT-Anemia

    Change in scores for quality of life/function

    Measured: Change from baseline in FACT-An at 6 weeks

  7. HADS

    Change in scores for emotional wellbeing

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Health counseling and exercise in people with Acute Leukemia, run by Universitetshospitalernes Center for Sygepleje at 2 sites in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Mar 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Feasibility - adherence rates (time frame: Adherence to the intervention components from baseline to 6 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Mar 2012.
