Summary

This trial is testing a new clinic that could help older stem cell transplant patients manage their side effects and other medical conditions.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for stem cell transplant candidates aged over 60 or younger patients with significant health complexities. Participants must be outpatients, able to attend appointments, read and understand English for questionnaires, and have a window of 4-12 weeks before their transplant starts. It's not open to those deemed unsuitable for transplantation.

What is being tested?

The study aims to create a clinic that assesses the needs of older or high-risk patients undergoing bone marrow transplants (BMT). It includes comprehensive evaluations like physical therapy consults, nutrition assessments, cognitive tests, medication reviews and follow-ups to potentially improve outcomes and reduce hospital stays.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial focuses on pre-transplant care rather than medications or treatments directly administered during BMT procedures, it does not list specific side effects related to drugs but may identify areas needing intervention such as physical fitness or nutritional status.
