Could a smartphone program supervised by AI boost recovery after stomach cancer surgery?
NCT ID NCT07755917
First seen Aug 10, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a home-based, digitally supervised prehabilitation program—using 5G and AI—can help gastric cancer patients get fitter before surgery. Participants who have completed chemotherapy and are scheduled for stomach removal will either receive standard care or add a multi-modal program (exercise, nutrition, and education) for at least four weeks. The goal is to see if this approach reduces complications and improves recovery after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- A home-based, digitally supervised multi-modal prehabilitation program (exercise, nutrition, and education) delivered via 5G+AI mobile health, combined with standard ERAS care.
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this approach could improve physical fitness, reduce postoperative complications, and speed recovery for gastric cancer patients undergoing surgery after chemotherapy.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is early and open-label, so results may be influenced by expectations. The digital program may not suit all patients, and benefits could be modest or not generalizable.

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 18 years or older * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 or 1 * Histologically confirmation of gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma. For GEJ carcinomas, eligibility is strictly confined to those presenting with Siewert type III tumors or Siewert type II tumors that do not mandate a concurrent thoracotomy * Surgery is planned after neoadjuvant therapy * Capacity to comprehend and voluntarily sign a written informed consent form * Ability to use digital technology (e.g., smart phones, wearable devices) independently or with the assistance of family members Exclusion Criteria: * Distant metastasis * Severe cardiac dysfunction (preoperative LVEF \< 30% or NYHA classification IV), severe liver dysfunction (Child-Pugh C grade), severe kidney dysfunction (preoperative CRRT was received), ASA grade IV or above; 6MWD ≤ 250 meters * Within 6 months before enrollment, the patient had experienced cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, TIA, or suffered from central nervous system diseases or mental disorders, and was unable to cooperate in completing neoadjuvant therapy and prehabilitation * Presence of severe systemic infections (e.g., multiple organ dysfunction syndrome \[MODS\]) or active infectious diseases (e.g., tuberculosis) * Emergency surgery is required due to complications of the tumor (e.g. bleeding, perforation, obstruction) * Simultaneous tumors or other diseases requiring simultaneous surgery (excluding laparoscopic cholecystectomy) * Patients who are participating in any other clinical trials (except observational, non-interventional clinical study)
