Sleep Disturbance, Depressive Symptoms, and Subsequent Quality of Life During Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Gastrointestinal Cancer

This prospective, single-center, non-interventional observational cohort study evaluated longitudinal changes in sleep quality, depressive symptoms, and health-related quality of life among adults receiving fluoropyrimidine-based adjuvant chemotherapy for nonmetastatic gastrointestinal cancers. A total of 198 participants receiving either FOLFOX or CAPEOX were enrolled at Ankara Etlik City Hospital between May 30, 2025, and March 30, 2026. Longitudinal patient-reported outcomes included the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30). The longitudinal assessment framework included baseline, month-3, and month-6 evaluations. In addition to describing changes in sleep, depressive symptoms, and quality of life, analyses examined the temporal indirect association between baseline sleep disturbance and month-6 global health status/quality of life through month-3 depressive symptoms. Secondary analyses evaluated nutritional status, anthropometric measures, and body composition using clinically available computed tomography examinations. Treatment-regimen comparisons were observational and did not involve investigator-directed treatment assignment. The final follow-up data cutoff was September 30, 2026.

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor (ICI)-Drug-Drug Interaction (DDI) Study

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) (also called "immunotherapy") are an effective family of anti-cancer drugs, but they can cause serious side effects. Some evidence suggests these side effects might happen because ICIs interact with other drugs that you may already be taking, making those drugs work differently, or causing more side effects. The purpose of this study is to see whether ICIs impact how the liver processes other drugs. To do this, participants will be given a probe cocktail of 7 different FDA-approved drugs that are processed in different ways in the liver.

Digitally Supported Prehabilitation Before Major Visceral Cancer Surgery

Major visceral oncologic surgery is associated with high postoperative morbidity, prolonged hospitalization, delayed recovery, and reduced quality of life. Patients undergoing surgery of the pancreas, liver, bile ducts, stomach, or esophagus frequently present with reduced physical fitness, malnutrition, sarcopenia, and psychological distress, all of which may negatively affect surgical outcomes and rehabilitation. Although prehabilitation has shown potential to improve functional capacity before surgery, structured prehabilitation pathways are currently not routinely implemented in Austria, and the feasibility of digitally supported perioperative care pathways remains insufficiently evaluated. The aim of the Prehab2Rehab-OncoVis study is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and safety of a multimodal, digitally supported prehabilitation intervention for patients undergoing major visceral oncologic surgery with curative intent. The study will additionally explore potential effects on clinical recovery, functional capacity, rehabilitation outcomes, and patient-reported outcomes across the perioperative pathway. Prehab2Rehab-OncoVis is designed as a prospective, single-arm feasibility cohort study conducted at the University Hospital Salzburg and the University Institute of Sports Medicine, Prevention and Rehabilitation, coordinated by the Paracelsus Medical University in cooperation with the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Rehabilitation Research and the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Digital Health and Prevention within the Prehab2Rehab consortium. Approximately 30 adult patients, with the possibility to include up to 50 participants if feasible, will be consecutively recruited. The intervention consists of a four-week multimodal prehabilitation program combining supervised exercise training, promotion of physical activity, nutritional counseling, psycho-oncological distress screening, and health literacy support. Digital tools will support the intervention throughout the perioperative pathway, including the HERO application (Das Herz Reha-Informationstool) for patient education and health literacy, aktivplan as a digital exercise planner and training diary, and the CAATS telecommunication platform for remote supervision and tele-prehabilitation sessions where appropriate. The exercise intervention includes supervised center-based sessions and, for participants with longer travel distances, a hybrid model combining center-based and tele-prehabilitation sessions. Nutritional counseling will follow current European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) guidelines and includes screening for malnutrition risk. Psycho-oncological distress screening will follow recommendations of the German Cancer Society and includes referral to supportive care when clinically indicated. Participants will be assessed throughout the perioperative pathway, including at the beginning and end of prehabilitation (Prehabilitation Assessment 1 \[PRE1\] and Prehabilitation Assessment 2 \[PRE2\]), during hospitalization and rehabilitation, and at a three-month follow-up after surgery. Primary outcomes focus on feasibility, including recruitment and retention rates, adherence, fidelity, safety, data management feasibility, and acceptability and usability of the digital technologies. Secondary outcomes include clinical recovery indicators, postoperative complications, length of hospital and intensive care stay, functional independence, psychological well-being, quality of life, body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, functional exercise capacity, and muscle strength. To contextualize outcomes, two historical comparator cohorts will be used: a local hospital cohort of patients who previously underwent similar surgery without prehabilitation, and a national rehabilitation cohort derived from routine rehabilitation datasets matched for diagnosis, sex, and age. The study is intended to generate feasibility data and preliminary estimates that may support the development of future adequately powered randomized controlled trials evaluating digitally supported prehabilitation and rehabilitation pathways in visceral oncologic surgery.
