Prehabilitation for Patients Diagnosed With Blood Cancer and Treated With Al-logeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Resistance training: Structured and supervised, group-based, resistance training 3x per week (individually tailored to the individual's capabilities)
Nutritional Support: Optimized dietary counseling and supplementation to optimize nutritional intake
Usual care: Usual care is the standard care before allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
Study summary
Seventy-five percent of patients treated with hematopoietic stem cell transplants survive one-year post-transplantation. However, this intensive treatment is associated with prolonged hospitalizations and significant deconditioning. Pathophysiological changes in skeletal muscle mass and function have notable implications for disease progression and long-term prognosis. Patients frequently report substantial rehabilitation needs, though these needs are highly individualized and fluctuate over time, with musculoskeletal dysfunction and fa-tigue being the most common barriers to prehabilitation. Furthermore, at least 35% of cancer patients are found to have inadequate daily protein intake, which may hinder improve-ments in physical performance through prehabilitation. Several recent studies have demonstrated the safety and feasibility of exercise-based prehabilitation interventions during the pre-transplant period. However, no full-scale randomized controlled trial (RCT) has been conducted to date.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Health-Related Quality of Life using European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire - Core questionnaires with 30 questions (EORTC QLQ C-30) — From enrollment to 90 days post-transplantation
HRQoL measured using EORCT-C30v3.0. Scores are from 0 to 100 with lower scores meaning poorer quality of life and high scores meaning better overall quality of life.
