Summary
The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of Epoetin alfa therapy (short term
versus long term) with and without a home-based individualized exercise program that
incorporated aerobic and strength resistance training for patients being treated with
high-dose chemotherapy and autologous peripheral bloodstem cell transplantation (PBSC T) for
multiple myeloma. The endpoints for the study included the number of attempts at and total
number of days of stem cell collection, number of RBC and platelet transfusions during the
transplantation period, time-to-recovery after transplantation, and response to intensive
therapy for multiple myeloma.
