NCT ID NCT07196488
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests an 8-week program where prostate cancer patients and their spouses learn and support each other using a handbook, a mobile app, and professional guidance. The goal is to improve physical symptoms, emotional well-being, and family resilience. Sixty couples will be randomly assigned to either the program plus usual care or usual care alone, and will complete questionnaires at the start, 10 weeks, and 16 weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Dyadic Co-learning Intervention (handbook, mobile app, professional support)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, supportive program to help couples cope better with prostate cancer together.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program is behavioral, not a medical treatment, so it won't directly affect the cancer itself.
