Slowing Aging in Blood Cancer Survivors
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years old or older.
- You have had a blood cancer (like leukemia, lymphoma, or myeloma).
- You are not on very strong chemotherapy right now (though milder or maintenance chemo is fine).
- You do not have a serious illness that would make exercise unsafe, like uncontrolled heart disease or recent stroke.
- You are willing and able to come to the study center for follow-up visits.

This study looks at how “early aging” changes show up during treatment in young adults with cancer. It may help doctors better understand health effects during curative therapy and improve care for people your age.
This study builds a registry to learn how aging and “resilience” relate to outcomes in people with blood cancers. You may be asked to complete questionnaires during UAB visits, which can help researchers better understand needs in older adults.
This study tests whether a personalized exercise program can help reduce fatigue in people with certain blood cancers, like myeloproliferative neoplasms or chronic myeloid leukemia. If you have been feeling tired and are stable on your treatment, this might help you feel better.
This study tests whether a mobile (phone-based) exercise program can help older adults with myeloid blood cancers stay active and function better while they receive outpatient cancer treatment. You may be asked to follow an exercise plan and participate in assessments during the trial.
This study offers a community-based program of exercise and nutrition classes for cancer survivors and their caregivers. It aims to help improve health and well-being after cancer treatment.
This study tests whether a supervised home-based strength training program can help older cancer survivors improve their daily functioning and quality of life. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three exercise groups.
