NCT ID NCT04323774
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 32 times
Summary
This study is testing a chatbot and online portal called AYA-RISE to help adolescents and young adults (ages 12-24) who have genetic conditions that raise their cancer risk. The goal is to see if the tool helps them communicate with family and doctors and make informed decisions about screening. About 115 participants will use the chatbot or receive standard genetic counseling, and researchers will measure how well it works and how acceptable it is.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
chatbot and online portal for cancer risk education
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a scalable tool to help young people with genetic cancer risks better understand and communicate about their health.
What could go wrong
This is an early feasibility study with only 115 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The chatbot is not a treatment and does not directly reduce cancer risk.
