NCT ID NCT05350631
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a phone app called OnKO-Tips&Tricks can improve the quality of life for adolescents and young adults (ages 15-25) recently diagnosed with cancer. The app helps with daily check-ins, education, and connecting with a nurse coordinator. Researchers will compare app users to non-users over 6 months, focusing on emotional and social well-being.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
OnKO-Tips&Tricks digital phone application
What this could lead to
If it works, this app could help teens and young adults with cancer feel better emotionally and socially, and make it easier to manage their care.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small study (200 people) testing a support tool, not a treatment. The app may not significantly improve quality of life, and results may not apply to everyone.
