What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether a digitally supported prehabilitation program is feasible for patients awaiting major surgery for cancers of the pancreas, liver, stomach, or esophagus. The program includes supervised exercise, nutritional counseling, psychological support, and digital tools. About 30-50 participants will be followed to see if they can stick with the program and if it is safe and acceptable.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
digitally supported multimodal prehabilitation (exercise, nutrition counseling, psycho-oncological screening, health literacy support)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could pave the way for larger studies that may show prehabilitation improves recovery after major cancer surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a very small feasibility study (30-50 people) with no control group, so it cannot prove the program works. It only tests if the program is practical and acceptable.

Participants

About 30 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start
