Fatigue, Quality of Life, and Physical Fitness Following an Exercise Intervention in Survivors of Multiple Myeloma: A Randomised Controlled Trial Using a Zelen Design

Benefits in fatigue appeared limited to subjects with clinical fatigue at baseline, although improvements in muscle strength and fitness were seen in the group as a whole, and patient testimonies were positive. Future research should consider modifying the intervention delivery format to reduce barriers to recruitment and attendance and incorporate fatigue screening before enrolment.DisclosuresRabin: Takeda: Consultancy, Other: Travel support , Speakers Bureau; Celgene: Speakers Bureau; Amgen: Consultancy, Speakers Bureau; Novartis: Consultancy, Speakers Bureau; Janssen: Consultancy, Other: Travel support, Speakers Bureau.
