Clinical Trial Summary

Brief Summary: This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate whether active remote symptom monitoring and management via a smartphone app utilizing electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) can improve adherence to prescribed outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation exercises among postsurgical lung cancer patients. Eligible patients will use the app for perioperative care and be randomized to an intervention group receiving ePRO-based symptom monitoring with clinician feedback or a control group receiving ePRO without feedback. The primary outcome is rehabilitation exercise adherence rate over 1 month after discharge. If proven effective, the app-enabled remote rehabilitation model can be scaled up to enhance recovery for more postoperative patients.


Clinical Trial Description

Adherence to postoperative pulmonary rehabilitation exercises is crucial but challenging to address in lung cancer patients after hospital discharge. Pain, fatigue, cough and other symptoms may hinder adherence. This study will enroll 224 patients undergoing Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for lung Cancer. All patients will use a smartphone app for perioperative care and periodic PRO measurement. Before discharge, patients will be randomized 1:1 to an intervention group or control group. The intervention group will complete ePRO symptom severity scores on the PSA-Lung Scale questionnaire on discharge and post-discharge days 3, 7, 14, 21, 28. Alerts are triggered if any of 5 core symptoms scored ≥4, prompting remote clinician feedback and guidance. The control group will complete ePRO without clinician alerts. The primary outcome is rehabilitation exercise adherence rate over 1 month after discharge. Secondary outcomes include postoperative complications, hospital readmissions, symptom changes, exercise participation rate, and patient satisfaction. If proven effective, this innovative rehabilitation model can be scaled up to enhance recovery for more postoperative patients. ;
