Can AI-Guided home training boost recovery from gastric cancer surgery?
NCT ID NCT07764523
First seen Aug 14, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether a home-based prehabilitation program, supported by 5G and artificial intelligence, can help gastric cancer patients prepare for surgery after chemotherapy. The program includes personalized exercise, nutrition, and psychological support, all supervised remotely. Researchers will compare outcomes like post-surgery complications and physical fitness between patients who receive this program and those who do not. The goal is to see if this digital approach can improve recovery and quality of life.
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, multimodal prehabilitation program delivered via a 5G and AI-enabled digital health platform, including physical and respiratory training, nutritional support, and psychosocial care.
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this approach could improve recovery and reduce complications after gastric cancer surgery, potentially becoming a standard part of care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial, and the program's success depends on patient adherence and technology reliability. Results may not apply to all patients or settings.

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 * Multidisciplinary team (MDT) referral for neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to gastrectomy * For female participants of childbearing potential, a negative serum pregnancy test must be confirmed within 7 days prior to the initial administration of 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)
