Comparison of Quality of Life in Patients Undergoing More Intensive versus Less Intensive Chemotherapy and Radiation Preceding a Bone Marrow Transplant Clinical Trials Data presented on Clinical Trials Search is not meant to be a substitute for qualified health advice, visits or treatment with a real mD. We are not doctors. Always consult your doctor about Comparison of Quality of Life in Patients Undergoing More Intensive versus Less Intensive Chemotherapy and Radiation Preceding a Bone Marrow Transplant conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Comparison of Quality of Life in Patients Undergoing More Intensive versus Less Intensive Chemotherapy and Radiation Preceding a Bone Marrow Transplant Clinical research trials and Comparison of Quality of Life in Patients Undergoing More Intensive versus Less Intensive Chemotherapy and Radiation Preceding a Bone Marrow Transplant healthcare trials happen in many of places across the United States. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally assess the effectivity of new drugs. The purpose of the studies / projects is to solve particular human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for doctors, government agencies, and private sector companies to discover cures for all varieties of conditions, such as Comparison of Quality of Life in Patients Undergoing More Intensive versus Less Intensive Chemotherapy and Radiation Preceding a Bone Marrow Transplant. Comparison of Quality of Life in Patients Undergoing More Intensive versus Less Intensive Chemotherapy and Radiation Preceding a Bone Marrow Transplant Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to have health treatment alternatives before they are available to the masses. Some times the human subjects obtain treatment for without cost, and sometimes they are compensated for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Comparison of Quality of Life in Patients Undergoing More Intensive versus Less Intensive Chemotherapy and Radiation Preceding a Bone Marrow Transplant clinical trial. Test subjects oftentimes receive the most effective healthcare possible for their Comparison of Quality of Life in Patients Undergoing More Intensive versus Less Intensive Chemotherapy and Radiation Preceding a Bone Marrow Transplant condition. Dangers are a reality, however, and may include extra or frequent physician visits, healthcare dangers (possibly life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally governed with rigorous guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Comparison of Quality of Life in Patients Undergoing More Intensive versus Less Intensive Chemotherapy and Radiation Preceding a Bone Marrow Transplant



Comparison of Quality of Life in Patients Undergoing More Intensive versus Less Intensive Chemotherapy and Radiation Preceding a Bone Marrow Transplant

For Condition: Bone Marrow Transplantation
Status: No longer recruiting
Sponsor(s): Warren G Magnuson Clinical Center (CC) ,
Synopsis: This study will examine the quality of life of patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation to treat a blood disease. It will look at how this therapy affects many areas of life, including for example, personal relationships, work, and general emotional state. The information gained may lead to improved ways of dealing with problems that may arise before or during treatment. Patients receiving bone marrow stem cells donated by a family member may participate in this study. They will be interviewed before treatment begins and will complete questionnaires at the following intervals: 1. day of admission to the hospital 2. day of the transplant 3. 30 days after the transplant 4. 100 days after the transplant 5. 1 year after therapy 6. 2 years after therapy All questionnaires to be completed after discharge from the hospital will be scheduled during a regular follow-up visit. Each questionnaire takes about 15 to 20 minutes to complete. The information provided is confidential and will not be shared.
Details: Clinical research in blood stem cell and bone marrow transplantation documents improvements in disease free intervals, disease free survival, and the severity of treatment related toxicities. However, it is important for patients and families to know the quality of life (QOL) they can expect following an allogeneic transplant. In this longitudinal study we will compare the QOL of patients undergoing a non-myeloablative allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplant (A-PBSCT) prospectively with that of a myeloablative A-PBSCT. Subjects (n=106) over the age of 18 will be enrolled. Measures of quality of life (Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-MOS SF-36 and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General and Bone Marrow Transplant - FACT-G and FACT-G/BMT) and symptom distress (Symptom Distress Scale - SDS) will be administered prior to transplant (baseline) and at set interval post transplant. Data will be analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance and regression analysis.
