What participants receive

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

  • Exercise regimenBehavioural

    Age 4-6 years: Target lower extremity, core and upper extremity strengthening and activity tolerance. With supervision by the PT, the patient will walk in their room, and complete the following through play: squat, single leg stance, climb onto couch, half kneel to stand, quadruped and tall kneeling.

    Age 7-21 years: First component will be strengthening exercises completed in bed or on a mat while sitting or standing. Multiple levels of exercises will be available, so that the program can be tailored to each patient and to their ability to perform activities. The exercises included will focus on core, hip musculature, and upper extremity strengthening; including exercises in quadruped and prone positioning, as well as supine, sitting and standing. Thera-Band will be used to increase resistance as needed. The second component will be endurance. Since the patients will be confined to their room this will include ambulation within the room, recumbent or pedal exerciser and step ups.

Study groups in NCT06692478
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ExerciseExperimentalThis structured exercise program will incorporate a specially designed, low intensity, resistance based exercise regime created by our physical therapist. In addition to standard of care, it consists of strengthening, endurance, stretching and relaxation exercises tailored according to age and their ability to perform activities throughout their hospitalization. This exercise program will be done three times a week for 30-45 mins supervised by the same physiotherapist throughout hospitalization and will be self-administered every weekend. A home exercise program printout with the appropriate resistance exercises will be provided to the family upon discharge, with instructions on how often to complete throughout the week. Discharged children will attend one supervised exercise session per week with the physiotherapist for six weeks. The family and patient will also be provided a weekly sheet to check off the days they completed strengthening and endurance exercises.
Receives: Behavioral: Exercise regimen
Standard of CareNo interventionThe second arm of the study involves patients following standard of care during the HSCT period in the hospital with PT evaluation and management prescribed as needed by their transplant medical team including any additional PT interventions as a result of clinical indications. No additional intervention is incorporated in this group

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from Baseline 6-minute walk test at 6 weeks discharge.

    Test of Endurance (Pre-transplant, at discharge, and 6 weeks discharge.)

    Measured: Average of 100 days post-transplant

  2. Change from Baseline Manual Muscle Testing at 6 weeks post discharge

    Muscle strength

    Measured: Average of 100 days post-transplant

  3. WeeFIM

    Change from Baseline Functionality at 6 weeks post discharge.

    Measured: Average of 100 days post-transplant

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. PROMISE Measures

    Change from Quality of Life measurements based off of physical, mental, and social categories at 6 weeks post discharge

    Measured: Average of 100 days post transplant

  2. Time Out of Bed

    Log of average time out of bed for each patient.

    Measured: through study completion, average of 1 year

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 3 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 18 Nov 2024. 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?

Change from Baseline 6-minute walk test at 6 weeks discharge. (time frame: Average of 100 days post-transplant). 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 18 Nov 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
