NCT ID NCT06445192
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a 12-week virtual exercise program with group counseling can reduce inflammation and improve gut bacteria in smokers at high risk for lung cancer. About 65 participants aged 50-77 who smoke or used to smoke will take part. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and whether it leads to healthier changes in the body.
