NCT ID NCT03997162
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase II trial tests an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol in 52 people with stage 0 to IIIC gastric cancer who are having surgery. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce pain, nausea, and hospital stays while improving quality of life. Participants receive standard care plus questionnaires to track their recovery and well-being.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- enhanced recovery after surgery protocol (standard care plus quality-of-life assessments and questionnaires)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could establish a standard recovery plan that helps gastric cancer patients feel better faster after surgery and spend fewer days in the hospital.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center trial with only 52 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The protocol is based on standard care, so major breakthroughs are unlikely.
