A Pilot Exercise RCT for Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) Patients Undergoing Induction Chemotherapy: Pre-randomization Phase
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Exercise for Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Completed, enrolled 35 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Fatigue, reduced quality of life and declines in physical function are common in patients undergoing chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Studies in other cancer patients undergoing treatment have shown that exercise improves these symptoms, but there are limited studies in AML. This study of a hospital-based exercise program will help determine if exercise is both feasible and helpful in improving symptoms among for AML patients undergoing chemotherapy.
