Scientific title | Lifestyle study of patients with multiple myeloma |
Study objectives | The aim of this study is to evaluate the practicality and feasibility of carrying out an exercise training programme in patients with myeloma (a cancer of the bone marrow), and to determine the benefits of such a programme. The programme will improve fatigue by clinically significant levels after 3 months of the exercise programme, when compared with usual care. |
Ethics approval(s) | NRES Committee London - Queen Square, 10/01/2014, ref: 13/LO/1105 |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Topic: Cancer; Subtopic: Haematological Oncology; Disease: Myeloma |
Intervention | Patients are randomised to either a control group or to receive a physical activity intervention. Patients in the control group receive usual care which includes their regular check-ups in the UCLH myeloma clinic and/or their local hospitals and receiving maintenance or consolidation treatment, if applicable. Patients in the treatment arm are offered a physical activity programme, led by a physiotherapist, which requires them to attend a hospital gym once a week as well as carry out a home-based programme of exercises two days a week. After the 3 months patients attend the gym once a month and follow a home-based exercise programme three days a week for 3 additional months. Patients in both control and intervention groups are assessed in terms of outcome measures at 3, 6 and 12 months follow up. Follow Up Length: 12 month(s) |
Intervention type | Behavioural |
Primary outcome measure | Fatigue; Timepoint(s): baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months |
Secondary outcome measures | 1. Anxiety and depression; Timepoint(s): baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months 2. Body mass and body composition; Timepoint(s): baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months 3. Diet; Timepoint(s): baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months 4. Exercise capacity and cardiorespiratory fitness; Timepoint(s): baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months 5. Haematology, biochemistry, bone health markers (basic ALP, osteocalcin); Timepoint(s): baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months 6. Muscle strength and endurance; Timepoint(s): baseline, 3, 6, 12 months 7. Physical activity; Timepoint(s): baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months 8. Resting blood pressure; Timepoint(s): baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months 9. Self-efficacy; Timepoint(s): baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months 10. Sleep quality; Timepoint(s): baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months 11. Well-being; Timepoint(s): baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months |
