ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at whether individuals with Multiple Myeloma can safely participate in a customized exercise program while undergoing chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant. The main goal is to see if this exercise program—offered both in-person and online—can help improve or maintain physical fitness, muscle strength, and overall quality of life during treatment.

To join the study, participants need to be at least 18 years old, living in Alberta, and have a diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma that qualifies them for a stem cell transplant. They should be undergoing chemotherapy as part of their treatment. Participants will commit to a 10-week exercise program at the Cancer Rehabilitation Clinic at the University of Alberta, where they will receive support to help them stay active during this challenging time. If you or someone you know meets these criteria and is interested in improving health during treatment, this trial could be a valuable opportunity.
