NCT ID NCT06636721
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aims to create a brief behavioral intervention for older adults (60+) with lung cancer, addressing aging-specific concerns like depression, anxiety, pain, and shortness of breath. In the first phase, patients, caregivers, and providers give feedback on the program. In the second phase, 16 patients test the revised program to see if it is feasible and acceptable. The goal is to help patients manage symptoms and engage with healthcare services better.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
LuCA Behavioral Intervention (cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy techniques)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a practical, non-drug program to help older adults with lung cancer better cope with symptoms and improve their quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small study (46 participants) focused on developing and testing feasibility, not proving effectiveness. The intervention may not work for everyone or may need further refinement.
