Can a team of experts help older cancer patients bounce back after transplant?
NCT ID NCT04914338
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a program where older adults (65+) with blood cancer see a team of healthcare providers can help them stay fit and resilient after a stem cell transplant. The program includes health coaching, quality-of-life assessments, and questionnaires. The main goal is to see if it's practical to run, not yet whether 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
- Multidisciplinary health promotion program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could help older blood cancer patients recover better after a stem cell transplant, potentially improving their quality of life and independence.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small feasibility study (40 people) with no control group, so it cannot prove the program works. It only tests whether the program is practical to run.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Documented informed consent of the participant * \>= 65 years at time of planned HCT infusion * Anticipated to be candidate for allogeneic transplant per treating physician at the time of enrollment * Ability to read English, Spanish or Mandarin. Other languages will be acceptable with principal investigator (PI) agreement if surveys are available and language does not preclude completing study procedures * Any conditioning regimen and allogeneic donor permitted * Hematologic malignancy or disease as indication for HCT * Willing and able to complete study requirements Exclusion Criteria: * Prior allogeneic stem cell transplant * Syngeneic donors for HCT * Any other condition that would, in the Investigator's judgment, contraindicate the patient's participation in the clinical study due to safety concerns with clinical study procedures
