Coaching may boost cancer pill adherence in new study
NCT ID NCT07521202
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether extra education and counseling helps women with HR+/HER2- early breast cancer take their prescribed medication, abemaciclib, more consistently. About 257 women will either receive standard care or additional coaching. The main goal is to see if coaching reduces the number of women who stop taking the drug early.
