AI app aims to boost nutrition and survival in pancreatic cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07167264
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether an AI-powered mobile app can help assess and improve nutrition in 200 patients who have had surgery for pancreatic cancer. The app collects data on symptoms like pain, appetite, and weight, and uses artificial intelligence to guide follow-up care. The goal is to see if this approach can improve patients' 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
- AI-powered mobile app for nutritional assessment and follow-up
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a simple, AI-driven tool to better manage nutrition and follow-up care for pancreatic cancer survivors, potentially improving their quality of life and survival.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early feasibility study with no control group, so results may not prove the app directly improves outcomes. The AI model may not work well for all patients, and the study is small.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age: 18-80 years old, and voluntarily signed the informed consent form to participate in the study; 2. Meet the clinical and pathological diagnostic criteria for pancreatic cancer (ICD-10:C25); 3. After radical surgery, fully recovered from surgery at randomization; 4. ECOG PS score 0-1 ; 5. Have objective conditions to complete follow-up and examination during the study process. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients or their families are willing to use the APP; 2. Current history or past history of metastatic or locally recurrent pancreatic cancer; 3.
