  Purpose

RATIONALE: A walking program may improve the ability to carry out daily activities after donor bone marrow transplant.

PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying a structured walking program to see how well it works compared with standard therapy in cancer patients undergoing a donor bone marrow transplant.


Condition Intervention
Cancer
 Behavioral: exercise intervention
Procedure: management of therapy complications
Procedure: observation

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Allocation: Randomized
Primary Purpose: Supportive Care

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Difference in functional status as measured by Karnofsky performance scores at day 0 of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation and at day 100 post-transplantation

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Survival at day 100 and at 1 year post-transplantation
  • Patient satisfaction with the suggested exercise regimen as measured by the Wilcoxon test using a 5-point rating scale

Enrollment: 115
Study Start Date: May 2002
Study Completion Date: February 2006
Primary Completion Date: February 2006 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Compare the effects of a structured walking regimen vs normal standard care on functional status at day 100 after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in patients with cancer.

Secondary

  • Compare the effects of these regimens on patient survival at day 100 and at 1 year after transplantation.
  • Compare patient satisfaction with these regimens.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 intervention arms.

  • Arm I: Beginning 2-3 days after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, patients walk on a treadmill or in the hospital hallways twice daily for ≥ 15 minutes. After discharge and continuing for up to 100 days post-transplantation, patients walk once daily for ≥ 30 minutes. Patients record their walking times daily in a journal.
  • Arm II: Patients receive no special instructions regarding exercise other than the normal standard of care.

All patients complete questionnaires at discharge and at day 100 post-transplantation measuring daily exercise activities, satisfaction with the recommended walking regimen, and functional status.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 90 patients will be accrued for this study.
