AI 'Zhiliao Doctor' aims to ease anxiety in breast cancer patients on CDK4/6 inhibitors
NCT ID NCT07409298
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether an AI-based management platform, called 'Zhiliao Doctor,' can reduce anxiety and depression in 300 breast cancer patients taking CDK4/6 inhibitors at home. Participants are randomly assigned to standard care, the AI platform, or personalized follow-up calls. The study measures changes in mood, quality of life, and medication adherence over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Zhiliao Doctor AI management platform (device) and tailored active follow-up (behavioral intervention)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that AI-based support helps breast cancer patients feel less anxious and depressed while managing their treatment at home.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, early-stage trial focused on psychological outcomes, not survival. The AI platform may not significantly improve mental health, and results may not apply to all patients.
