Exercise and Nicotinamide Riboside for Young Cancer Survivors
This study is for young people (ages 10-30) who have had a hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) for certain blood cancers or conditions like leukemia or aplastic anemia, between 6 months and 4 years ago. It's looking at whether a dietary supplement called Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) and a home-based exercise program can improve muscle strength. Researchers want to see if these interventions can help with muscle loss (sarcopenia) that can happen after HCT. The main goal is to measure changes in leg muscle strength after 16 weeks. The study is currently recruiting 80 participants, but its status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is a randomized, placebo-controlled study with 80 planned participants. It will compare the effects of Nicotinamide Riboside and an exercise program.
- What's involved
- Participants will take either Nicotinamide Riboside or a placebo and follow a home-based exercise program for 16 weeks. Muscle strength will be measured at the beginning and after 16 weeks.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary outcomes are measured from baseline to 16 weeks.

What this trial measures
- Within participant changes in muscle strength (Isometric knee extension, Z-score)Baseline to 16 Weeks
Muscle Strength will be assessed by completion of isometric contractions using a Biodex dynamometer.
