US Cancer Center started clinical trial of Exercise Program for the Improvement of Movement and Mobility in Patients With Cancer Undergoing a Blood Stem Cell Transplant
M.D. Anderson Cancer Center is enrolling patients into the clinical trial investigating Exercise Program (TEAM Me) for the Improvement of Movement and Mobility in Pediatric and Adolescent and Young Adult Patients With Cancer Undergoing a Blood Stem Cell Transplant.
This clinical trial studies how well an exercise program (Totally Excited About Moving, Mobility, and Exercise [TEAM Me]) affects the exercise and dietary habits of pediatric and adolescents and young adults with cancer undergoing a blood stem cell transplant. TEAM Me is an exercise program that reinforces behavior, such as walking and other activities, using "tokens" (i.e. stickers) that can be redeemed for rewards. Participating in the exercise program may result in increased physical fitness, physical activity level, quality of life, and function in pediatric and adolescents and young adult patients with cancer.
The patients that cannot be enrolled into this study include:
- Patients whose clinical status precludes them from participating in any physical activity including but not limited to: declining respiratory status, hypoxia requiring high flow nasal cannula (Vapotherm), hypotension, and active bleeding.
- At MD Anderson HSCT patients admitted to adult units for their transplant will not be eligible as TEAM Me is an established program on the G9 Pediatrics Unit only.
The trial is designed to enroll male and female 6 to 29 years and is being conducted in the M D Anderson Cancer Center, Houston and Texas Children's Hospital, Houston, Texas, United States.
The study start date is November 13, 2020.
