NCT ID NCT07772258
First seen Aug 19, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a wearable device and a personalized prehabilitation program can help adults recover better after surgery for pancreatic cancer or related conditions. Participants will wear a monitor to track vital signs and activity, and follow a program of exercise, nutrition, and wellbeing support before and after surgery. The study compares their outcomes to a similar group who received standard care, looking at complications and recovery over 12 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- A wearable monitoring device (Corsano CardioWatch) and a personalized prehabilitation and rehabilitation program (Prehab4Cancer) combining exercise, nutrition, and wellbeing support.
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this approach could reduce complications and speed recovery after pancreatic surgery, potentially improving outcomes for patients.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is early and compares against historical controls, which may limit reliability. The intervention may not reduce complications, and wearable use could be burdensome for some patients.
