NCT ID NCT01606033

First seen Mar 17, 2026 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 7 times

Summary

This study looked at whether cancer patients who join clinical trials feel more anxious or depressed than those getting standard treatment. Researchers asked 125 people with advanced solid tumors or blood cancers to fill out questionnaires about their stress, mood, and quality of life. The goal was to understand the emotional experience of trial participation, not to test a new treatment.
