NCT ID NCT06927947

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether web-based tools can help people with hereditary cancer syndromes share risk information with their relatives and encourage them to get genetic testing. Researchers will enroll 625 participants (patients and their relatives) and track how many use the tools and how many relatives follow through with testing. The goal is to improve the low rate (20-30%) of genetic testing among at-risk family members.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Web-based tools (invitation tool, virtual genetics navigator, genetic testing family letter)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could improve how families communicate about hereditary cancer risk and increase the number of at-risk relatives who get tested.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study focused on feasibility and uptake, not on health outcomes. The tools may not significantly change behavior, and results may not apply to all populations.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 625 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Sep 2025

Expected to finish

Sep 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.
