NCT ID NCT06465511
First seen Aug 31, 2026 · Last updated Sep 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a supportive clinic for people living with advanced or metastatic cancer. Participants receive personalized feedback and advice on managing symptoms, diet, physical activity, and psychosocial issues from a multidisciplinary team. The study compares this to a self-management pamphlet approach. The goal is to see if this clinic is feasible and acceptable, and whether it can reduce symptom distress and improve quality of life.
