What is being measured

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

  1. Muscle strength

    Upper limb: hand grip strength with JAMAR dynamometry; Lower limb: maximal isometric voluntary strength of M. quadriceps femoris

    Measured: change between hospital admission and discharge (approximately 4-6 weeks) and 3 months and 6 months after transplantation

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Fatigue

    Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL)

    Measured: change between hospital admission and discharge (approximately 4-6 weeks) and 3 months and 6 months after transplantation

  2. Biomarker in blood

    Hematological and immunological reconstitution

    Measured: daily

  3. Body composition

    Bioelectrical Impedance Analyse (BIA; Data Input GmbH)

    Measured: one time per week and change between 3 months and 6 months after transplantation

  4. Endurance performance

    6-Minute-Walking-Test (6MWT); Ergospirometry and Echocardiography

    Measured: change between hospital admission and discharge (approximately 4-6 weeks) and 3 months and 6 months after transplantation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exercise and Mental Training in people with Hematopoetic Stem Cell Transplantation, run by Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Hospital at 1 site in Germany.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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 1 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. 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.

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?

Muscle strength (time frame: change between hospital admission and discharge (approximately 4-6 weeks) and 3 months and 6 months after transplantation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01575704, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 1 Apr 2015.
