Abstract Objective We utilised a method rarely seen in cancer behavioural trials to explore methods of overcoming difficulties often seen in randomised controlled trials. We report our experiences of the adapted-Zelen design, so that other researchers can consider this approach for behavioural trials. Study Design & Setting:The adapted-Zelen design was used to explore the effects of exercise on multiple myeloma patients fatigue, quality of life and physical outcomes.
