NCT ID NCT05294302
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests an online program called eSCCIP designed to help parents and caregivers of children with cancer feel less distressed and more able to cope. The program includes web-based modules and video sessions with a coach. Researchers will compare it to a basic informational website, enrolling 350 English- and Spanish-speaking parents.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- eSCCIP (eHealth psychosocial intervention)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a scalable, accessible way to support parents of children with cancer, reducing their stress and anxiety.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral intervention, not a medical treatment, so benefits may be modest. The trial is still recruiting, and results may not apply to all families.
