NCT07755917

Brief Summary

The goal of this prospective, multicenter, open-label randomized controlled clinical trial is to evaluate whether a home-based, digitally supervised multi-modal prehabilitation intervention can improve functional capacity, treatment tolerance, and short- and long-term clinical outcomes in gastric cancer patients who have completed 2-4 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and are scheduled for radical gastrectomy.

Study Arms (2)

prehabilitation group

EXPERIMENTAL

The prehabilitation group will receive preoperative multimodal prehabilitation combined with ERAS before gastrectomy.

Behavioral: mHealth prehabilitation group

ERAS group

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

The ERAS group patients will be managed according to the ERAS pathway.

Other: ERAS group

Interventions

receiving at least 4 weeks of 5G+AI digitally supervised home-based multi-modal prehabilitation plus standard ERAS perioperative management

prehabilitation group

The management of ERAS group was carried out in accordance with the standard ERAS protocol from admission until 30 days postdischarge. The ERAS program mainly included malnutrition screening, health education, surgical risk assessment, and smoking and drinking cessation.

You may qualify if:

  • Aged 18 years or older
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 or 1
  • Histologically confirmation of gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma. For GEJ carcinomas, eligibility is strictly confined to those presenting with Siewert type III tumors or Siewert type II tumors that do not mandate a concurrent thoracotomy
  • Surgery is planned after neoadjuvant therapy
  • Capacity to comprehend and voluntarily sign a written informed consent form
  • Ability to use digital technology (e.g., smart phones, wearable devices) independently or with the assistance of family members

You may not qualify if:

  • Distant metastasis
  • Severe cardiac dysfunction (preoperative LVEF \< 30% or NYHA classification IV), severe liver dysfunction (Child-Pugh C grade), severe kidney dysfunction (preoperative CRRT was received), ASA grade IV or above; 6MWD ≤ 250 meters
  • Within 6 months before enrollment, the patient had experienced cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, TIA, or suffered from central nervous system diseases or mental disorders, and was unable to cooperate in completing neoadjuvant therapy and prehabilitation
  • Presence of severe systemic infections (e.g., multiple organ dysfunction syndrome \[MODS\]) or active infectious diseases (e.g., tuberculosis)
  • Emergency surgery is required due to complications of the tumor (e.g. bleeding, perforation, obstruction)
  • Simultaneous tumors or other diseases requiring simultaneous surgery (excluding laparoscopic cholecystectomy)
  • Patients who are participating in any other clinical trials (except observational, non-interventional clinical study)
