NCT ID NCT07280897
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a web-based program called SCIPI that provides men with localized prostate cancer easy-to-understand information, communication tools, and social support. About 200 newly diagnosed patients will be randomly assigned to use SCIPI or receive usual care. Researchers want to see if SCIPI helps patients feel more confident and satisfied with their treatment decisions and improves their quality of life.
