Mobile Health Exercise for Older Adults with Myeloid Neoplasms

This study is for older adults (age 60 and above) with myeloid neoplasms (a type of cancer affecting blood cells) who are receiving outpatient cancer treatments. It's testing if a mobile app called GO-EXCAP Mobile App, which provides a walking and resistance exercise program, can improve physical function. Some participants will instead receive information about chemotherapy from an oncology nurse. The main goal is to see if the exercise app helps with physical function after 12 weeks. Researchers will also look at how the app affects fatigue, mood, and quality of life. The study is currently recruiting 170 participants.

Study design
This is a randomized controlled trial, meaning participants are randomly assigned to either the exercise app or the educational control group. It aims to enroll 170 older adults.
What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The primary outcome, physical function, is measured at 12 weeks.

What this trial measures

  • Difference between experimental and active comparator arms- Physical Function12 Weeks

    Changes in physical function measured using the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) which an objective physical assessment evaluating lower extremity physical function (score ranges from 0-12; higher score indicates better physical function). It is comprised of 3 components: a four-meter walk, repeated chair stands and a balance test (the score for each component ranges from 0-4).
