Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests whether a mobile app exercise program can improve physical function and reduce fatigue in older adults (age 60+) with myeloid neoplasms, a type of blood cancer. Participants will either use the app for guided walking and resistance exercises or receive standard educational materials. The goal is to see if the app helps patients stay active and feel better during chemotherapy.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
mobile app exercise program (GO-EXCAP)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, at-home exercise program to help older cancer patients stay stronger and less tired during treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase pilot study, so results may not be conclusive. The exercise program may not improve outcomes for everyone, and some patients may find it hard to follow.
