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

Description

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.

Conditions

Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Cell Neoplasm, Malignant Solid Neoplasm

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Be admitted to an inpatient pediatric ward for the purpose of HSCT for the treatment of malignancy
  • * Be greater than or equal to 6 years of age and less than 30 years of age
  • * Participants or guardians are willing and able to give written informed consent either prior to admission or within 48 hours following admission and to comply with all of the study activities and procedures
  • * Participants or guardians are willing and able to give written informed consent for protocol PA18-0130 (Pediatric Energy balance data repository protocol), companion protocol for the Fitbit application/assessment
  • * 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
