Chemo delivery method may impact sleep and depression in GI cancer patients
NCT ID NCT06996483
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 198 adults with non-metastatic gastrointestinal cancer to see if taking chemotherapy as a pill (oral) or through a vein (IV) affects sleep quality and depression. Researchers measured sleep and mood before treatment, at 45 days, and at 90 days using standard questionnaires. The study did not change any treatment—it only observed and tracked these symptoms during routine care.
