NCT ID NCT07456904
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 56 young adults who have a genetic condition that raises their cancer risk. After they graduate from pediatric care at St. Jude, researchers track whether they find adult doctors and continue regular cancer screenings over 8 years. Participants fill out surveys at set times to share their experiences and any barriers they face.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could reveal what helps or hinders young adults with cancer risk in staying on top of their health after leaving pediatric care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study with only 56 participants, so findings may not apply to everyone. It tracks outcomes but does not test a treatment.
