New breathing program aims to ease breathlessness in advanced lung cancer

NCT ID NCT06791057

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study tests a short behavioral program called BREEZE+ to help people with advanced lung cancer manage breathlessness. The program includes three nurse-led sessions and a digital app that teaches breathing and relaxation skills. Researchers will compare this to usual care in 420 participants to see if it reduces breathlessness and related anxiety.

Active substance

brief behavioral intervention (BREEZE+) including nurse-led sessions and a digital health app

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a practical, non-drug way to help people with advanced lung cancer feel less breathless and more in control.

What could go wrong

This is a relatively early-stage trial testing a behavioral approach, so the effect may be small or not work for everyone. The intervention requires patient engagement, which may be challenging.
