NCT ID NCT05793151
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a program called ENDURE that helps head and neck cancer patients start radiation therapy within 6 weeks after surgery. The program provides education, social support, and better coordination among doctors. Researchers will compare it to usual care in 532 adults with head and neck cancer to see if it improves timely treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Navigation-based multilevel intervention (ENDURE) including patient education, social support, care coordination, and referral tracking
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could help more head and neck cancer patients start their radiation therapy on time, potentially improving treatment outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention, not a drug or device, so its impact may be modest. Results depend on how well clinics adopt the program, and it may not work in all settings.
