NCT ID NCT06228209
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a home-based palliative care program called TIER-PC that adjusts the care team based on a patient's symptoms and ability to function. It includes 60 adults with advanced heart failure or certain cancers living in Manhattan. The program adds more specialists—like social workers or nurses—as needs increase, with a community health worker staying involved throughout.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Tier - Palliative Care (TIER-PC) behavioral intervention
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this model could improve quality of life and symptom management for people with advanced heart failure or cancer by matching care intensity to their changing needs.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The main goal is to see if the model can be delivered, not yet to prove it improves outcomes.
