About this study

This study will evaluate whether a remotely delivered exercise program can improve chemotherapy tolerability in patients with gastrointestinal or lung cancer receiving chemotherapy.

In this decentralized, digital randomized clinical trial, up to 120 adults with gastrointestinal or lung cancer will be randomized to either a home-based aerobic and resistance exercise program or home-based progressive stretching program. All study activities will be conducted remotely using digital technologies and home-based assessments. Participants in both groups will receive Bluetooth-enabled wearable devices for monitoring physical activity, body weight, blood pressure, and other health measures.

The primary objective is to determine whether exercise improves chemotherapy relative dose intensity compared with stretching. The intervention will continue throughout chemotherapy treatment or for up to 32 weeks.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ExerciseBehavioural

    The exercise group will be provided with Bluetooth-enabled devices and home exercise equipment. Participants will meet with an exercise trainer weekly to learn how to engage in the exercise program.

  • StretchingBehavioural

    The stretching group will be provided with Bluetooth-enabled devices. Participants will meet with an exercise trainer weekly to learn how to engage in the stretching program.

What is being measured

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

  1. Chemotherapy Relative Dose Intensity

    The ratio of the delivered dose intensity to the standard or planned dose intensity.

    Measured: Up to 32 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exercise and Stretching in people with Gastric Cancer (Diagnosis) and Esophagus Cancer, run by AdventHealth Translational Research Institute.

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 2 inclusion and 7 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Marcus Perez (407-303-5642, Marcus.Perez@AdventHealth.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Chemotherapy Relative Dose Intensity (time frame: Up to 32 weeks). 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 19 May 2026.
