Pre-surgery program for older adults getting stem cell transplant
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with multiple myeloma
- You are scheduled for an autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) at UAB
- Your ASCT is planned within 10 weeks of starting the study
- You will be at least 60 years old when you get the transplant
- Your bone/tumor situation is not rated as high risk for a near-term bone fracture (Mirels score not high)

This Phase 1 study tests a personalized (tailored) autologous stem cell transplant for people with multiple myeloma or related plasma cell diseases. The goal is to see how safe it is and how well it works, using your own stem cells.
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 a 10-week exercise program (prehab) before or after a stem cell transplant can help people with multiple myeloma feel stronger and recover better. You can join whether you are getting a transplant or not, as long as you live in Alberta and have internet access.
This trial tests whether a prehabilitation program using adapted physical activity can help multiple myeloma patients prepare for a stem cell transplant. It may improve your strength and recovery before and after the transplant.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a combination of anti-myeloma medicines given before stem cell transplant works well and is safe for people with multiple myeloma who also have kidney problems. It may help control the myeloma and prepare you for the transplant.
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.
