Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to test a new preventive and restorative intervention for patients with acute leukaemia undergoing consolidation chemotherapy, to measure and delineate the patients' treatment related symptom burden and to explore the effect of the intervention on length of hospital stay, duration of sick leave and return to work status. Further, to examine the relationship of the symptom profile with clinical indicators, physiological response, physical performance and survival.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Exercise based multimodal intervention

The intervention is initiated early, during treatment (consolidation) in the intra-hospital setting and continues for two successive treatment series (12 weeks). The intervention is a three hour/wk supervised in-hospital programme of aerobic (stationary cycle) and functional muscle training, progressive relaxation training, nutrition supplement (protein and carbohydrate) immediately after training and health-promoting consultation combined with an unsupervised in-home walking and progressive relaxation programme

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Exercise based multimodal intervention

Intervention Type OTHER

The intervention is initiated early, during treatment (consolidation) in the intra-hospital setting and continues for two successive treatment series (12 weeks). The intervention is a three hour/wk supervised in-hospital programme of aerobic (stationary cycle) and functional muscle training, progressive relaxation training, nutrition supplement (protein and carbohydrate) immediately after training and health-promoting consultation combined with an unsupervised in-home walking and progressive relaxation programme.
