New study tests program to boost daily function in older cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT05006482
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 3 trial tests whether a program called GEM-S (geriatric evaluation and management with survivorship health education) can improve physical function in older cancer survivors. About 668 participants who have completed chemotherapy for lymphoma or solid tumors will be randomly assigned to GEM-S or usual care. The program includes a geriatric assessment, tailored health advice, and exercise sessions, aiming to help survivors maintain their ability to perform daily activities and improve mental 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
- Geriatric evaluation and management plus survivorship health education (GEM-S)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a standard program that helps older cancer survivors maintain their physical abilities, mental sharpness, and quality of life after chemotherapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a large phase 3 trial, but the intervention is complex and may not work better than usual care. Results depend on how well participants follow the program, and benefits may vary widely.
