Can digital tools make cancer genetic counseling more effective?
NCT ID NCT05420064
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at two new approaches to cancer genetic counseling. The first helps doctors reach out to family members who may have inherited a cancer-related gene change, making it easier for them to get tested. The second uses an online portal to keep patients and their doctors updated on uncertain genetic test results. The goal is to see if these methods work better than the usual way of having patients share information on their own.

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.

Inclusion Criteria: EfFORT Trial Probands * Current MSK patient * Received post-test genetic counseling from MSK Clinical Genetics Service within the last 3 months (or within the last year for the de-identified non-randomized control probands) * 25 years of age or older * Self-reported "very well" comprehension of written and verbal English language or Spanish language * Has at least one ARR who meets criteria for study enrollment (see below) * First in the family to test positive for PV at MSK in any of the following cancer susceptibility genes, or an ARR of an MSK proband who converted to the proband role: APC I1307K, ATM, BARD1, BMPR1A, BRCA1, BRCA2, BRIP1, CDKN2A (P16), CHEK2, EPCAM, GREM1, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PALB2, PMS2, POLD1, POLE, PTEN, RAD51C, RAD51D, SMAD4, BAP1, DICER1, FH, FLCN, HOXB13, KIT, MAX, MEN1, MET, MITF, PTCH1, RAD51B, RET, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, STK11, SUFU, TMEM127, TSC1, TSC2, VHL Principal Investigator discretion will be used to determine whether specific variants within the above genes meet a clinical actionability threshold to warrant familial genetic testing.
