Exercise before or after stem cell transplant for multiple myeloma
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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 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 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 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 trial tests whether a supervised resistance (strength-building) exercise program is safe and beneficial for people with multiple myeloma who are currently receiving treatment. If you have not been exercising regularly, this study could help you improve your strength and well-being.
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 trial tests if a home exercise program can help prevent falls in people with multiple myeloma. It is for patients who are currently receiving or have recently received cancer therapy and want to exercise at least three times a week.
