About this study

Official title: Effects of Prescribed Physical Activity on Sleep and Performance in Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Patients

This research trial studies prescribed physical activity in improving sleep and physical performance in patients undergoing stem cell transplant. A wearable physical activity monitor can be used to record minutes of activity and sleep. Gathering data over time using a physical activity monitor may help doctors learn if prescribed physical activity helps improve sleep and physical performance in patients undergoing stem cell transplant.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Evaluate whether prescribed physical activity, as part of standard care, improves sleep and functional outcomes in hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) (stem cell transplantation) patients during a typical 30-day hospitalization period.

OUTLINE:

Data including demographics, type of HCT (e.g., allogeneic or autologous), preexisting physical conditions (e.g., chronic joint injury), chronic renal failure (CRF), steroid use data, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) and Karnofsky performance status (KPS) scores are collected from patients' medical charts at time of enrollment. Patients are prescribed participation in a primarily self-directed physical activity program which encourages them to spend 6 hours out of bed daily and to perform 30 minutes of light-to-moderate daily aerobic activity. Patients who are able to maintain independent mobility undergo physical therapist assessment 2 times a week until hospital discharge. Patients wear a physical activity monitoring device and daily activity and sleep data are collected continuously during hospital length of stay (LOS).

What is being measured

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

  1. ECOG performance scores

    Will focus on trends in scores between patients with different durations of activity and sleep. Results, from both descriptive and inferential analyses, will be presented in table and/or graphical format.

    Measured: At baseline

  2. KPS performance scores

    Will focus on trends in scores between patients with different durations of activity and sleep. Results, from both descriptive and inferential analyses, will be presented in table and/or graphical format.

    Measured: At baseline

  3. Minutes of aerobic activity per day

    Will use interval-censored regression to estimate distributions of activity from one day to the next. This repeated-measures analysis with a polynomial model will generate average curves for activity, each spanning average LOS (i.e., activity duration plotted on day one, day two, day three, etc.). Will also run diagnostics to verify the assumptions of a linear model (e.g., statistical independence of observations and lack of undue influence of outliers on model fit).

    Measured: Up to time of hospital discharge, or 29 days

  4. Minutes of sleep per day

    Will use interval-censored regression to estimate distributions of sleep from one day to the next. This repeated-measures analysis with a polynomial model will generate average curves for sleep, each spanning average LOS (i.e., sleep duration plotted on day one, day two, day three, etc.). Will use multiple linear regressions to control for potential confounders in predicting sleep duration. Will also run diagnostics to verify the assumptions of a linear model (e.g., statistical independence of observations and lack of undue influence of outliers on model fit).

    Measured: Up to time of hospital discharge, or 29 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cell Transplantation, run by Stanford University 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 4 inclusion and 2 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 29 Nov 2018. 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?

ECOG performance scores (time frame: At baseline). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 29 Nov 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
