Prehabilitation in Patients With Multiple Myeloma Receiving CAR-T Therapy

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other, Procedure
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

This clinical trial evaluates whether prehabilitation with aerobic and resistance exercise improves physical fitness and quality of life outcomes in older patients planning to undergo chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T therapy for multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). CAR-T therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. Large numbers of the CAR-T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. While CAR-T therapy is commonly used to treat multiple myeloma, it can result in toxicities that lead to hospitalization, nerve and muscle impairment, and decreased physical function. Prehabilitation programs use targeted interventions to improve functional status prior to medical or surgical treatments. In this study, patients participate in personalized aerobic and resistance prehabilitation activities in the weeks leading up to their CAR-T infusion. This program may improve physical fitness and quality of life, both prior to and after CAR-T infusion, in older patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Treatments
Experimental: Supportive care (aerobic and resistance training)
Patients receive a personalized exercise plan and use the Connected mHealth app to participate in aerobic and resistance training, according to exercise guidelines and their personalized plan, for 6 weeks. Patients also receive health coaching check-in calls weekly for 6 weeks. Patients also undergo collection of blood and urine samples throughout the study.
