The goal of this research study is to investigate whether a virtual, home-based, prehabilitation aerobic and resistance exercise (PARE) training program implemented 8 weeks prior to receiving autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) for multiple myeloma participants will improve muscular strength, physical capacity, patient reported outcomes, and cardiometabolic health outcomes.
This trial is currently open and accepting patients.
This is a single-center, prospective, parallel-group, randomized controlled study that will enroll patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma planning to receive autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT).
Participants will be randomized into one of the intervention groups: Exercise Group (PARE) versus Waitlist Control Group. Randomization means that participants are placed into one of the treatment groups by chance.
The research study procedures include screening for eligibility and study treatment including evaluations of muscle strength, cardiorespiratory fitness, physical fitness assessments, body composition including DEXA scans, blood tests, and surveys at study entry and follow-up visits.
Participation is expected to last about 4 months for the Exercise Group (PARE) and 9 months for the Waitlist Control Group.
It is expected about 30 people with take part in this research study.
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is supporting this research study by providing funding through the Population Sciences Team Science Concept program.
