NCT ID NCT06763770
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a digital self-management and peer mentoring program for young adults who survived childhood cancer. The goal is to help them take charge of their own health care as they move from pediatric to adult clinics. About 300 survivors aged 18-25 will use the program to improve skills like booking appointments and understanding their cancer history. The study aims to keep survivors engaged in follow-up care and improve their quality of life.
