NCT ID NCT05534386
First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a survivorship care program for Chinese cancer survivors who have recently finished curative treatment. The program includes a one-off assessment and personalized advice, with an optional step-up intervention focusing on symptom management and weight control. Researchers will see if it reduces physical symptom distress, improves weight management, and boosts quality of life compared to standard pamphlets.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- A self-management based survivorship care program, including a one-off face-to-face assessment and personalized advice, with optional step-up targeted intervention focusing on symptom management and weight control.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could offer a practical way to help cancer survivors manage lingering symptoms and weight issues after treatment, improving their quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial, and the program's benefits are not guaranteed. It may not work for everyone, and the personalized step-up approach adds complexity that could affect results.
