NCT ID NCT07505732
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new AI chatbot designed to answer questions from people with sarcoma, a type of cancer. The chatbot will be available 24/7 by voice or text for one month. Researchers want to see if using the chatbot helps patients feel more satisfied with the information they get and less anxious. About 78 adults with soft tissue sarcoma will take part.
