Phone coaching aims to ease cancer symptoms for patients and caregivers
NCT ID NCT07415564
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding telephone health coaching to a symptom management handbook helps reduce symptom burden and improve quality of life for people with metastatic breast, GI, or melanoma cancer and their caregivers. About 200 participants will be split into two groups: one gets the handbook alone, the other gets the handbook plus weekly coaching calls for 10 weeks. The goal is to see if coaching makes a real difference in managing symptoms and feeling better.
