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 tests whether a structured exercise program (“TEAM Me”) can improve movement and mobility during and after a blood stem cell transplant in young people with cancer. It may help reduce stiffness and weakness so you can move more comfortably during treatment.
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.
This study tests whether exercise and health counseling can help children and young people recovering from a stem cell transplant for cancer. Participants will be assigned to either the exercise program or standard care, and the study will see how it affects their recovery and quality of life.
This trial studies whether an exercise program (“prehab” before transplant and “rehab” after) can improve outcomes for people age 60+ getting an allogeneic stem cell transplant for blood cancer. It focuses on fitness and recovery, especially for those who are pre-frail or frail.
