About this study

Official title: Modulating The Toxicity And Efficacy Of High Dose Chemotherapy For Multiple Myeloma Through An Intervention To Increase Lean Body Mass

This study will establich the feasibility of weight lifting exercise among patients with multiple myeloma, determine if weight lifting exercise increases lean body mass among patients with multiple myeloma and obtain further preliminary data on toxicity and pharmacokinetics of high-dose melphalan.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, single-institution, pilot study of a 3 month weight lifting program designed to increase musle hypertrophy prior to starting stem cell collection and receiving high-dose melphalan, in patients with multiple myeloma. We will use this exercise intervention while patients are receiving initial induction chemotherapy in the 3-6 month period before they receiv high-dose melphalan. The primary study endpoint is to determine the feasibility of recruiting and retaining multiple myeloma patients to an exercise intervention trial. The secondary study endpoint is to determine whether the weight lifting program increases lean body mass as intended.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Weight Lifting Exercises in people with Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma, run by Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine at 1 site in United States.

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 8 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 10 Mar 2020. 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 United States. 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?

Number of Adverse Events (time frame: 3-6 months). 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 10 Mar 2020.
