About this study

The purpose the research is to obtain preliminary data about the change in fitness from admission to discharge in patients undergoing an Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT) , assessed by the 6 minute walk test as the primary objective and the SF-36 as the secondary objective. All subjects will wear a Fitbit monitor while admitted for the ASCT to record their daily activity.

Read the detailed description

This study will enroll 20 subjects with a diagnosis of multiple myeloma or lymphoma (10 with each diagnosis) scheduled to undergo ASCT at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

After signing the informed consent form, intake data will be collected on all subjects will include age, diagnosis, Karnofsky performance status, and comorbidity index. Subjects will complete an SF-36 questionnaire that assesses their functional and emotional status. Each subject will undergo a 6-minute walk test (6MWT) while wearing a Fitbit monitor to record the number of steps taken. After admission, subjects will be randomly assigned to either the control or intervention group. Subjects in the control arm will receive an activity monitor but the physician, nurse, and patient will not receive any feedback from the device. Patients will be blinded to any data capture from their activity monitor. Participants in the intervention arm will receive an activity monitor and they will receive feedback from the activity tracker and the in-room TV screen. Study participants in this arm will engage with their physicians and nurses around achievement of daily step goals by viewing the in-room TV display of daily step counts on rounds. After discharge, all subjects will again complete the SF-36 questionnaire and perform a 6MWT at a routine clinic visit, within 30 days of the transplant procedure. Descriptive statistics in the form of mean and standard deviation will be used to summarize patient physical activity as measured by 6MWT.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • FeedbackBehavioural

    The system uses Sonifi health (TV content and visualizations) and Fitabase (3rd party server to process Fitbit data and export to Sonifi). The system utilizes the patient's TVs to engage the patient and multidisciplinary team in monitoring ambulation status.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
FeedbackExperimentalParticipants in the intervention arm will receive a Fitbit upon admission and will receive feedback from the activity tracker and the in-room TV screen as demonstrated by the Study Navigator. Study participants in this arm will be engaging with their physicians around achievement of daily step goals by viewing the in-room TV display of their daily step counts on rounds.
Receives: Behavioral: Feedback
ControlNo interventionSubjects in the control arm will receive a Fitbit upon admission for their transplant but neither the physician, nurse, nor patient will receive any feedback from the device. They will be blinded to any data capture by their activity monitor. Nurses and doctors will not monitor ambulation with the activity monitor, they will use standard methods to encourage ambulation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Fitness measured by 6 minute walk test after discharge

    Standard 6 minute walk test will be performed

    Measured: 3-4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Fitness assessed by SF-36 questionnaire after discharge

    Standard SF-36 questionnaire will be completed

    Measured: 3-4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Feedback in people with Multiple Myeloma and Lymphoma, run by Cedars-Sinai Medical 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 3 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 7 Oct 2022. 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?

Fitness measured by 6 minute walk test after discharge (time frame: 3-4 weeks). 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 7 Oct 2022.
