Developing and Testing the Effectiveness of Smart Healthcare Assisted Individualized Symptom Management Education and Home-based Exercise on Frailty, Treatment-related Adverse Events and Quality of Life in Advanced Gastric Cancer Patients Receiving Immunotherapy

23 juli 2026 bijgewerkt door: Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan

The goal of this randomized controlled intervention is to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of the nurse-led with AI chatbot Individualized Symptom Management Education and Home-based Exercise (AI-ISME&HE) based on The Theory of Symptom Self-Management (TSSM) on frailty, self-efficacy in cancer care, trAE, and quality of life in advanced gastric cancer patients receiving immunotherapy. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Can AI-ISME&HE reduces frailty in advanced gastric cancer patients receiving immunotherapy?
  • Can AI-ISME&HE increases quality of life in advanced gastric cancer patients receiving immunotherapy?
  • Can AI-ISME&HE increases self-efficacy in advanced gastric cancer patients receiving immunotherapy?
  • Can AI-ISME&HE reduces all-caused death in advanced gastric cancer patients receiving immunotherapy within two years? Researchers will compare usual routine care to see if AI-ISME&HE can reduce frailty, all-caused death and increase quality of life and self-efficacy.

Participants will not be blinded, but the outcome evaluator will be blinded. The participants will be asked to complete three tasks for 12 weeks:

  • Self-reporting treatment-related adverse events
  • Interacting with AI-ISME&HE for seeking information related to self-management educational materials, including symptom management with the most reported trAEs and prevention from frailty
  • ViviFrail-based exercise

Primaire uitkomstmaten

Uitkomstmaat
Maatregel Beschrijving
Tijdsspanne
Level of Frailty Assessed by The Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)
Tijdsspanne: Changes from baseline, 12 weeks after baseline, and 24 weeks after baseline.
The SPPB score from 0-12 points, with 10-12 indicating robust, 7-9 indicating prefrail, and 4-6 indicating frail. It has good reliability (ICC range from 0.82-0.92) and validity.
Changes from baseline, 12 weeks after baseline, and 24 weeks after baseline.
Level of Frailty Assessed by Comprehensive Geriatrics Assessment
Tijdsspanne: Changes from baseline, 12 weeks after baseline, and 24 weeks after baseline.

A total of 8 domains were used to comprehensively assess frailty in cancer patients: Functional status, Comorbidity, Nutrition, Polypharmacy, Social support, Cognition, and Mood. 0 abnormal domains indicate robust, any 1 abnormal indicates pre-frail, and 2 or more abnormality indicate frailty. Each domain can be assessed by different tools. In this study, we chose the tools according as follows:

  1. Functional status: Grip strength.
  2. Comorbidity: Charlson Comorbidity Index by ICD-10 and exclude age and cancer diagnosis. CCI scores > 3 indicates multimorbidity.
  3. Cognition: the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA).
  4. Mood: Geriatric Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9).
  5. Nutritional status: Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA).
  6. Polypharmacy: number of daily medications.
  7. Social support: live alone or with family.
  8. Falls history: the falling times in the past year.
Changes from baseline, 12 weeks after baseline, and 24 weeks after baseline.
Level of Frailty Assessed by Geriatric 8 (G8)
Tijdsspanne: Changes from baseline, 12 weeks after baseline, and 24 weeks after baseline.
The G8 score from 0-17 points, with score ≤14 indicating frailty. It has good sensitivity (86.9%) in cancer patients
Changes from baseline, 12 weeks after baseline, and 24 weeks after baseline.
Level of Frailty Assessed by Taiwan Cancer Frailty Tool (TCFT)
Tijdsspanne: Changes from baseline, 12 weeks after baseline, and 24 weeks after baseline.
The TCFT score from 0-5 points, with score >0 indicating frailty. It has good ROC values of 0.857 in cancer patients
Changes from baseline, 12 weeks after baseline, and 24 weeks after baseline.

The total score ranges from 0-14, with 12-14 representing well, 8-11 representing at risk, and 0-7 representing malnutrition.
Changes from baseline, 12 weeks after baseline, and 24 weeks after baseline.
Level of Cognitive Function Assessed by The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)
Tijdsspanne: Changes from baseline, 12 weeks after baseline, and 24 weeks after baseline.
The scale consists of 12 items with a total score ranging from 0 to 30, assessing cognitive function across eight domains, including visuospatial construction, executive function, naming, memory, attention, language, abstraction, delayed recall, and orientation. A score of 24 below indicates cognitive impairment.
Changes from baseline, 12 weeks after baseline, and 24 weeks after baseline.
Level of Depression Assessed by The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9)
Tijdsspanne: Changes from baseline, 12 weeks after baseline, and 24 weeks after baseline.
PHQ-9 is a depression muddle from the complete PHQ, including nine DSM-IV criteria for depression, each item scores from 0-3, with a total score range from 0-27. A higher score indicates higher severity of depression, with a score 0-4 as none, 5-9 as mild, and ≥ 10 as moderate-severe depression.
Changes from baseline, 12 weeks after baseline, and 24 weeks after baseline.
Level of Physical Function Assessed by Grip Strength (GS)
Tijdsspanne: Changes from baseline, 12 weeks after baseline, and 24 weeks after baseline.
GS will be assessed by JAMAR hydraulic dynamometer, which show good reliability. The participants will be asked to sit in the neutral position with their elbows flexed at 90° and resting at their sides. Next, they need to squeeze the handle of the dynamometer for 3-5 seconds as hard as possible for 3 trials on dominant hand with a rest of 60 seconds. The average and the maximum of the grip strength (kg) will be recorded. Female with GS ≤ 16 kg and male ≤ 26.7 kg refer to frailty.
