About this study

Official title: Pilot Study of a Resistance Training Intervention in Adolescent and Young Adult Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Survivors

This pilot trial studies how well a resistance training program and cardiovascular exercise work in increasing muscle mass in adolescent and young adult stem cell transplant survivors. Resistance training and cardiovascular exercise may increase physical activity, muscular strength and improve lean body mass which is beneficial to improving the overall health of stem cell transplant survivors.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the feasibility of a 12-week resistance training (RT) intervention in adolescent and young adult (AYA) hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) survivors starting +100 days post-HCT.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Examine the change from baseline of a RT intervention on muscle strength and body composition at day +200 and day +365.

II. Determine the effectiveness of RT exercise on improving the cardio-metabolic risk factor profile at day +200 and day +365.

III. Determine the effectiveness of RT exercise on improving quality of life (QOL) measures.

IV. Compare day +80 and day +365 assessments to subjects in a historical control population.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo moderately intense aerobic/cardiovascular exercise over 30-60 minutes and complete 1-2 sets of 8 to 10 resistance/strength training exercises, 8 to 12 repetitions of each exercise, 3 days per week for 12 weeks. Patients also participate in weekly phone calls with an exercise physiologist to ensure adherence to the program and to provide support.

After completion of study intervention, patients are followed up within 2 weeks, then at 365 days post HCT.

What is being measured

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

  1. Enrollment rate

    Percentage of eligible, approached patients enrolling in program

    Measured: 200 Days

  2. Completion rate

    Percentage of enrolled participants completing the full intervention

    Measured: At day +200 post hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT)

  3. Adherence rate

    Percentage of participants completing weekly follow-up phone calls

    Measured: At day +200 post hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT)

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Change in physical activity

    Measured using Actigraph activity monitor

    Measured: Baseline to day +365 post HCT

  2. Change in physical activity

    International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)

    Measured: Baseline to day +365 post HCT

  3. Change in anthropometrics (BMI)

    Measured by BMI; weight and height will be combined to report BMI in kg/m^2

    Measured: Baseline to day +365 post HCT

  4. Change in cardiometabolic profile (Fasting Glucose, Insulin and Lipid Profile)

    Testing will be performed on patient blood samples. Changes will be calculated as score (approximately day +200) - score (approximately day+100). All variables will be described based on their distributions (means, standard deviations if normally distributed, medians and IQRs otherwise). A t-test will be used to compare means between baseline and follow-up time periods.

    Measured: Baseline to day +365 post HCT

  5. Heart rate

    Measured: Baseline to day +365 post HCT

  6. Change in body composition

    Measured using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Changes will be calculated as score (approximately day +200) - score (approximately day+100). All variables will be described based on their distributions (means, standard deviations if normally distributed, medians and IQRs otherwise). A t-test will be used to compare means between baseline and follow-up time periods.

    Measured: Baseline to day +365 post HCT

  7. Change in muscular strength

    Strength testing will include hand grip strength, one repetition maximum chest press, one repetition maximum leg press and the 6 minute walk test. Changes will be calculated as score (approximately day +200) - score (approximately day +100). All variables will be described based on their distributions (means, standard deviations if normally distributed, medians and IQRs otherwise). A t-test will be used to compare means between baseline and follow-up time periods.

    Measured: Baseline to day +365 post HCT

  8. Blood pressure

    Measured: Baseline to day +365 post HCT

  9. Change in quality of life (QOL)

    Measured by the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System

    Measured: Baseline to day +365 post HCT

  10. Incidence of adverse events

    Measured: Up to day +200 post HCT

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exercise Intervention, Quality-of-Life Assessment and Questionnaire Administration in people with Malignant Neoplasm, run by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center 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 5 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 16 Nov 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?

Enrollment rate (time frame: 200 Days). The study lists 3 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 16 Nov 2020.
