Read our Multiple Myeloma research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether guided exercise during chemotherapy — before or after a stem cell transplant — helps people with multiple myeloma feel stronger and recover better. Half of the participants will receive standard exercise advice, while the other half will get personalized exercise coaching through supervised sessions and a smartphone app designed to support their fitness journey.
Stem cell transplants are tough on the body, and doctors want to know if getting in better physical shape beforehand might help patients handle the procedure and bounce back faster.

You will be in the study for 10 weeks during your chemotherapy treatment. If you are in the standard care group, you will receive counseling about staying active and educational materials on safe exercise. If you are in the supported exercise group, you will complete at least one supervised exercise session each week (in-person or by video) and do independent workouts using a smartphone app, plus receive the same educational materials. Both groups will complete fitness testing at the cancer rehabilitation clinic.
