Study on frailty in seriously ill adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at why some seriously ill adults become frail. It involves imaging and other tests to help doctors better understand and care for patients with serious conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years or older, or 18 or older if you are receiving high-dose chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant.
- You have a suspected or diagnosed serious medical condition, such as cancer or another serious illness.
- You have had a CT or MRI scan within the last 45 days, or you are willing to have one before starting a new treatment.
- If you have cancer (other than prostate cancer), the study tests must be done within 1 month before starting a new treatment line.
- If you have prostate cancer and are starting hormonal treatment before radiation, the study tests must be done within 3 months after starting that treatment.
- If you have a serious condition other than cancer, the study tests must be done within 4 days after you are admitted to the hospital.

This study looks at how frailty (physical weakness and loss of strength) affects older men who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Researchers want to understand which men are at higher risk and how this might guide better treatment decisions.
This trial looks at ways to help “frailty” (low strength and resilience) in people staying in intensive care units. It mainly enrolls adults who expect to be in the ICU for more than 24 hours, and it tries to avoid people whose mobility problems have other causes.
This study evaluates how to better assess and manage frailty (age-related weakness and vulnerability) in older cancer patients aged 70 and up who are starting chemotherapy or other cancer treatments. The goal is to help doctors tailor treatment plans to each patient's individual strength and health status.
This trial looks at whether “frailty” (how weak or vulnerable someone is) changes short- and long-term outcomes after surgery. It may help doctors better predict who could benefit from extra support before and after surgery.
This study looks at frailty (a state of increased weakness and lower energy) and what factors are linked to it in older adults (60+) who are in the hospital. By joining, you help researchers better understand frailty, which could lead to better care for older patients.
This trial studies simple “frailty” assessments (tests of strength, memory, and daily functioning) to better predict risk in people with gynecologic cancers who are planning or having surgery. If you qualify, the results may help doctors identify who needs extra support before and after surgery.
