Digital perioperative rehabilitation for gastric cancer surgery after neoadjuvant therapy

Official title: The Effect of Perioperative Rehabilitation Programme Delivered Via a Smart Phone Based Digital Platform in Patients Undergoing Neoadjuvant Therapy for Gastric Cancer Surgery: Study Protocol for a Randomised Controlled Trial

Run by Beijing Friendship Hospital · NCT07441850 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This project tests whether a perioperative multimodal rehabilitation program delivered with a smartphone app or by telephone can reduce postoperative complications and improve recovery for adults with resectable gastric cancer receiving neoadjuvant therapy.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults 18–70 with histologically confirmed resectable gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma referred for neoadjuvant therapy who can use a smartphone and agree to regular follow-up.

Probably not a fit

Patients with distant metastasis, severe cardiopulmonary disease precluding exercise testing or training, concurrent other malignancies, cognitive or communication barriers, or pregnancy are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

What this trial studies

This randomized interventional trial compares three approaches: multimodal perioperative rehabilitation with digital supervision, the same program with telephone supervision, and usual care for patients undergoing neoadjuvant therapy and surgery for resectable gastric cancer. The rehabilitation program combines exercise, nutritional support, and psychological guidance delivered before and after surgery. Primary endpoints include postoperative complication rates and perioperative clinical indices such as functional capacity (6MWT), nutritional status, and psychological measures, and a key secondary endpoint is patient adherence as tracked by the smartphone platform. Participants are adults aged 18–70 treated at Beijing Friendship Hospital and will attend planned in-person and digital follow-ups.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the program could lower postoperative complication rates, speed functional and nutritional recovery, and improve patient adherence to perioperative care.

How similar studies have gone: Prehabilitation approaches have shown benefit in other surgical oncology populations, but smartphone-based digital supervision specifically for gastric cancer perioperative care is less well established.
