NCT ID NCT06412510
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a program of exercise, protein drinks, and mind-body activities like yoga for people aged 65 and older with advanced ovarian or pancreatic cancer. The goal is to see if patients can stick with the program while on chemotherapy before surgery. The study is small, with 22 participants, and focuses on whether the program is doable, not on curing the disease.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
exercise, protein supplement, and mind-body practices (yoga, mindfulness, art therapy)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a combined pre-surgery program helps elderly cancer patients stay stronger and better prepared for surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study with only 22 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It focuses on adherence, not on curing the cancer.
