About this study

Official title: Pre-Exercise for Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant Patients: a Pilot Study

The PRESENT-P study is a one-arm exercise intervention study for hematological cancer patients prior allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT). This pilot study will investigate in a prehabilitation approach the safety and feasibility of high-intensity exercise program directly prior transplantation.

Read the detailed description

The major objective of PRESENT-P is to investigate the feasibility and safety of a high intensity endurance exercise training (HIIT) and progressive resistance exercise prior allo-HCT. This multicenter pilot study will include n=30 patients. Patients perform two supervised exercise sessions per week. Recruitment take place 6-12 weeks prior allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Further aims of this pilot study are: to estimate the number of eligible patients, evaluate the recruitment procedure, and to explore the effect of HIIT prior allo-HCT on maximal oxygen uptake (VO2peak),submaximal endurance capacity, muscle strength, patient-reported-outcomes including QoL and physical functioning.

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility of supervised high-intensity aerobic exercise training and high-intensity resistance training prior allo-HCT in hematological cancer patients. Measured as adherence to the training protocol

    Adherence is defined as >50% of prescribed exercise sessions completed.

    Measured: 4-12 weeks

  2. Safety of supervised high-intensity exercise aerobic exercise training and high-intensity resistance training prior allo-HCT in hematological cancer

    Minor and Major adverse events that are related to the exercise intervention

    Measured: 4-12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Change in maximal oxygen uptake (VO2peak), assessed in a maximal incremental exercise test (CPET) on a cycle ergometer

    Measured: 4-12 weeks

  2. Change in submaximal endurance performance, assessed in a 6-minute walk test (6MWT)

    Measured: 4-12 weeks

  3. Change in maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) in a stationary dynamometer test

    Measured: 4-12 weeks

  4. Change in maximal voluntary isometric hand-grip strength

    Measured: 4-12 weeks

  5. Change in Quality of Life (QoL)

    European Research and Treatment in Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30)

    Measured: 4-12 weeks

  6. Change in Fatigue

    Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory, MFI 20

    Measured: 4-12 weeks

  7. Change in depression

    Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, CES-D

    Measured: 4-12 weeks

  8. Body Composition

    Bioelectrical impendance analysis

    Measured: 4-12 weeks

  9. Estimate the number of eligible patients

    Measured: 12 month

  10. Evaluation of recruitment procedures

    Description of possible recruiting procedures in the ambulatory and stationary setting.

    Measured: 12 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Experimental: moderate to high-intensity exercise in people with Cancer, Hematological, run by University Hospital Heidelberg at 5 sites 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 6 inclusion and 7 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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 was stopped early (reason given: Recruitment difficult). Results are not available in the source record.

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 of supervised high-intensity aerobic exercise training and high-intensity resistance training prior allo-HCT in hematological cancer patients. Measured as adherence to the training protocol (time frame: 4-12 weeks). The study lists 2 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 4 Jun 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 30 Oct 2026.
