Testing ways to improve thinking after bone marrow transplant
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a physical activity program and related study measures can improve thinking and memory in older adults around the time of a stem cell transplant. If you qualify and participate, the team will compare outcomes between groups to see what approach works best.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 60 or older (or 55 or older for the physical-activity groups)
- Have a blood cancer diagnosis and have had (or will have) a stem cell transplant
- If in the activity groups: be able to walk 4 meters (about 13 feet)
- Be cleared by a doctor to exercise if needed (especially if you have recent heart problems or recent hip/knee/spine surgery)
- Be able to speak and read English and sign written consent
- You (and your care-partner, if included) must be able to safely do light to moderate exercise

This study tests a program to help people who have survived a blood cancer stay healthier as they age. It involves exercise and check-ups to see if we can slow down some effects of aging.
This study checks whether a “pre-surgery” health coaching program is practical and safe for older people with multiple myeloma who are scheduled for an autologous stem cell transplant. It may help patients prepare better for transplant recovery, and the study will see if the plan can be carried out smoothly.
This trial studies whether a structured exercise program before an autologous (your own cells) stem cell transplant can improve health and fitness in people with multiple myeloma. The goal is to safely prepare your body for transplant, and the study includes fitness testing and ongoing exercise training.
This study tests whether extra geriatric support before and after CAR-T cell therapy helps people 60 and older recover faster. It is for patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma or multiple myeloma who are scheduled for an FDA-approved CAR-T treatment.
This study tests whether a guided exercise program, done mostly online, helps adults recover more quickly after a stem cell transplant for a myeloid blood disorder. It looks at physical strength, daily functioning, and overall well-being during the transplant hospital stay and the weeks after.
This trial tests whether an adapted physical activity (tailored exercise) can help people recover after a donor stem cell transplant for blood cancers. If you’re able to participate, the program may support strength, well-being, and recovery during the transplant process.
