Exercise and tube feeding to improve gastric cancer survival
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial studies whether doing a structured exercise program and receiving enteral (tube) nutrition after gastric cancer surgery can improve survival. It focuses on people with stage Ib to stage IIIc stomach cancer who have had standard surgery and have not had chemo or radiation before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 to 70
- Before surgery, your daily functioning was very limited but still possible (Karnofsky score 0–2)
- Your stomach cancer biopsy confirmed adenocarcinoma, and imaging shows stage Ib to IIIc (cT2-4aN0-3M0)
- You had the standard D2 surgery for stomach cancer, with no chemo, radiation, or immunotherapy before surgery
- Your blood test levels are high enough (hemoglobin, neutrophils, platelets) and liver/kidney tests are within limits
- Scans show no spread to distant organs (no distant metastasis)

This trial studies whether intensive dietary education (diet coaching) after gastrectomy can improve patients’ nutrition and recovery. It is for people with early-stage primary stomach cancer who have no spread to distant organs.
This study tests a program of nutrition, exercise, and emotional support before and during chemotherapy and stomach cancer surgery. It aims to help patients recover faster and have fewer complications.
This trial tests a combination of low-dose radiation, chemotherapy, and an immunotherapy drug (AK112) for people with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has progressed after first-line treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
This trial tests whether adding omega-3 fatty acids and extra nutrition support can help people with gastrointestinal cancer who have lost weight. It aims to improve strength and well-being during treatment.
This trial tests if surgery to remove the stomach and some tumors, after a few months of chemo, helps people whose stomach cancer has spread to only a few nearby spots (like the lining of the belly, liver, or lymph nodes) live longer compared to chemo alone.
This trial looks at how your nutrition status affects the success of immunotherapy drugs in people with advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer or stomach adenocarcinoma that has spread. It aims to find if better nutrition leads to better treatment results.
