Protocol for a pilot randomized controlled trial of a mobile health exercise intervention for older patients with myeloid neoplasms (GO-EXCAP 2).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

We have shown the Exercise for Cancer Patients (EXCAP^©®) exercise program improved physical function and symptoms and reduced inflammatory markers in patients with cancer. However, adherence to exercise was lower in older adults compared to their younger counterparts. We then leveraged a mobile app to deliver EXCAP^©® and adapted the intervention [Geriatric-Oncology (GO)-EXCAP] for older patients with myeloid neoplasms. In this pilot randomized trial, the primary goal is to determine effect sizes. We propose to assess the preliminary efficacy of GO-EXCAP compared to a behavioral placebo control on physical function, patient-reported outcomes (fatigue, mood, and quality of life), and inflammatory markers in 100 patients aged ≥60 years with myeloid n
