What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This randomized controlled trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of a home-based prehabilitation program using wireless wearable monitoring devices in older patients (aged 65-85 years) with non-small cell lung cancer scheduled for curative lung resection. Participants are randomized 1:1 to either the intervention group, receiving a personalized exercise regimen (aerobic, resistance, and inspiratory muscle training) with continuous remote monitoring of steps, heart rate, and SpO₂ from 2-4 weeks preoperatively through 90 days postoperatively, or the control group receiving standard perioperative care. The primary endpoint is the between-group difference in FEV₁% predicted at 90 days post-surgery, adjusted for baseline. Secondary endpoints include functional capacity (6-minute walk distance), daily physical activity, hypoxemic burden (time with SpO₂\<90%, nocturnal oxygen desaturation index), patient-reported outcomes (EORTC QLQ-C30/LC13, mMRC), postoperative complications, readmission rates, days alive and at home, and safety outcomes. The target sample size is 198 participants enrolled at West China Hospital of Sichuan University. Anticipated risks include exercise-related musculoskeletal strain, fatigue, and transient cardiopulmonary symptoms, as well as mild skin reactions from devices, all managed through individualized exercise prescriptions, remote safety thresholds, and a graded response protocol.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 196 people

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥65 and ≤85 years * Histopathologically confirmed primary non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), scheduled for elective curative-intent lobectomy or segmentectomy * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2, or Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) score ≥70 * Planned admission for surgery within 2 months, and judged by the investigator to have stable disease suitable for participation in a home-based rehabilitation program * Able to operate a smartphone application and wearable devices independently or with caregiver assistance * Willing and able to provide written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Pre-existing long-term home oxygen therapy, or severe resting respiratory dysfunction * Concurrent severe, uncontrolled cardiovascular disease, hepatic insufficiency, or renal insufficiency * Other diseases that seriously affect motor function or compliance * Known or suspected contact allergy to medical adhesives or materials used in the wearable devices * Any other condition that, in the investigator's judgment, makes the subject unsuitable for participation
