NCT ID NCT06371768
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a digital health program called AYA STEPS for adolescent and young adult cancer survivors. The program uses video sessions and online materials to teach skills for managing symptoms like pain, fatigue, and emotional distress, and to encourage follow-up care. Researchers will enroll 260 survivors of breast, colorectal, sarcoma, lymphoma, or testicular cancer who are 1 to 5 years past diagnosis and off active treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AYA STEPS (a digital cognitive-behavioral and patient activation program)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a practical tool to help young cancer survivors better manage symptoms and stay on track with follow-up care.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small behavioral study (260 participants) testing a new program, so results may not apply to all survivors. The program requires active participation and may not work for everyone.
