NCT ID NCT07390019
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a support program called FamCASP for adult family members of people with colorectal cancer. The program includes a digital screening tool and counseling to help families cope better. Researchers will compare families who get the support with those who don't, measuring stress, coping, and needs. The goal is to improve family health during a difficult time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- FamCASP support model and SCa-N digital screening tool
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a proven support program for families of cancer patients, reducing their stress and improving family well-being.
- What could go wrong
- This is a planned study not yet recruiting. The intervention is a support model, not a drug, so benefits may be modest and depend on how well it's implemented.
