What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Comparison of muscle mass between exercise therapy alone and high protein supplement combination groups

    Comparison of muscle mass between the exercise therapy single group and the high-protein supplement combination group as assessed by Bioelectrical impedance analsis (BIA) (performed in Week 6)

    Measured: 6weeks

  2. Comparison of muscle variation between exercise therapy alone and high protein supplement combination groups

    Comparison of muscle variation between the exercise therapy single group and the high-protein supplement combination group as assessed by Bioelectrical impedance analsis (BIA) (performed in Week 6)

    Measured: 6weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Exercise Compliance

    As assessed by compliance for planned exercise (aerobic/strength exercise) adherence rate (%)

    Measured: 3years

  2. High Protein/Placebo Supplement rate

    As assessed by compliance for planned high protein/placebo supplementation rate (%)

    Measured: 3years

  3. Quality of Life (QoL) Evaluation (Korean version EORTC QLQ-C30)

    European Organization for Research and Treatment Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) Korean version EORTC QLQ-C30 consists of 30 questions, and total score will be reported. Response options for each EPIC question form a Likert scale, and multi-item scale scores will be summed and transformed linearly to a 0-to-100 scale.

    The higher the score, the higher the quality of life. Using the QOL questionnaire (EOGRTC QLQ-C30), a total of 3 measurements were taken before chemotherapy and 1 week after chemotherapy.

    Measured: 3years

  4. Nutritional status assessment

    Nutritional status assessment for the exercise therapy single group versus the high-protein supplement combination group as assessed by PG-SGA(the Scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment)

    Measured: 3years

  5. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Progression-free survival (PFS): To evaluate the treatment effect of High Protein/Placebo Supplement on progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 3years

    Measured: 3years

  6. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall Survival (OS): The time from the date of first dose and the date of death from any cause.

    Measured: 3years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exercise Therapy, High Protein supplement in people with Gastric Cancer and Pancreatic Cancer, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparison of muscle mass between exercise therapy alone and high protein supplement combination groups (time frame: 6weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 May 2024.
