NCT ID NCT07729696
First seen Jul 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a guided digital program delivered through a mobile app can reduce anxiety and depression in young adults (ages 18–40) who have fertility-related distress after a cancer diagnosis. Participants use the app to complete four modules covering coping skills, self-efficacy, and social support. The study compares the program against usual care to see if it improves emotional well-being and quality of life.

- What this could lead to
- If effective, this digital program could offer a scalable way to help young cancer survivors manage fertility-related distress and improve their quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 38 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention requires active engagement, and benefits may vary.
