NCT ID NCT07045740
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests whether a physiotherapist navigator can help cancer patients manage side effects like fatigue and strength loss during treatment. 26 adults recently diagnosed with cancer will either receive usual care or meet with the navigator for six sessions over 12-18 weeks. The navigator will screen for problems, provide exercise advice, and connect patients to other services. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and helpful.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Physiotherapist navigator service
What this could lead to
If this works, it could show that adding a physiotherapist navigator to cancer care teams helps patients manage side effects and access rehab services earlier.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 26 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It tests feasibility, not whether the approach actually improves health outcomes.
