NCT ID NCT06280924
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a 10-week tailored exercise program, done in-person or online, can help multiple myeloma patients maintain physical fitness, muscle mass, and quality of life while undergoing chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant. Researchers will enroll 30 adults in Alberta to see if patients are willing and able to participate. The main goal is to measure how many people complete the program, not to prove it works.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- tailored exercise program (prehabilitation)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a flexible exercise program helps multiple myeloma patients stay stronger and feel better while waiting for a stem cell transplant.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small feasibility study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The main goal is to see if patients can stick with the program, not to prove it works.
