NCT ID NCT07596732
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a home-based exercise program can help people with gastrointestinal or lung cancer handle chemotherapy better. Up to 120 participants will be randomly assigned to either an aerobic and resistance exercise group or a stretching group. All activities are done remotely using Bluetooth devices and home equipment, with weekly trainer check-ins. The goal is to see if exercise improves how much chemotherapy patients can receive without needing dose reductions.
