New study tests digital coaching to prevent heart failure in cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT07245420
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Childhood cancer survivors who received certain treatments are at higher risk for heart problems. This study tests whether an online program with personalized education and motivational coaching can encourage them to get a recommended heart screening. About 350 adult survivors will be randomly assigned to standard care or the extra eHealth program, and researchers will check who gets screened after 12 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Survivorship Care Plan + Educational Materials and Healthy Hearts eHealth Program (behavioral interventions)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a simple online program can motivate survivors to get life-saving heart checks, reducing future heart failure.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage behavioral study, not a drug trial. It may not change screening rates, and results may not apply to all survivors.
