NCT ID NCT06057766
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a 12-week home-based coaching program for people who had surgery for early-stage lung cancer. Participants wear a Fitbit and get personalized step goals and coach calls to help them move more. The goal is to see if this support improves daily physical activity compared to standard care.
