NCT ID NCT06528990
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a telehealth program for cancer survivors with an ostomy (a surgical opening in the belly to pass waste). The program includes group sessions led by nurses and peer ostomates to teach self-management skills. Researchers will enroll 150 patients with colorectal or bladder cancer and their caregivers to see if the program is feasible and improves confidence in managing their ostomy.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Telehealth intervention (peer support and self-management skills training)
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could become a standard support tool to help cancer survivors better manage life with an ostomy, improving their confidence and daily well-being.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase pilot study focused on feasibility, not a large confirmatory trial. The intervention may not show significant benefits over standard care, and results may not apply to all patients.
