Summary

This study tests a program called ENABLE-SG, which provides phone-based coaching sessions to people recently diagnosed with advanced cancer and their caregivers. The goal is to help them manage stress, symptoms, and planning early on, rather than waiting for a crisis. Researchers will measure whether this approach improves quality of life for both patients and caregivers.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: ENABLE-SG model (structured psycho-educational sessions with a health coach delivered over the phone)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could provide a proven way to improve quality of life for advanced cancer patients and their caregivers by offering early, proactive support.
What could go wrong: This is a single-site study in Singapore, so results may not apply elsewhere. The program is behavioral, so benefits may be modest and depend on participant engagement.
