NCT ID NCT06945120
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a program designed specifically for Chinese and Korean American smokers who are at high risk for lung cancer. The program includes counseling sessions, family coaching, nicotine replacement therapy (like patches or gum), and information about lung cancer screening. Researchers want to see if this culturally tailored approach helps more people quit smoking and get screened.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- behavioral intervention (counseling, family coaching, nicotine replacement therapy, and educational materials)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could provide an effective, culturally sensitive way to help Chinese and Korean American smokers quit and get screened for lung cancer.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to all smokers. Quitting smoking is difficult, and the program may not work for everyone.
