NCT ID NCT06055803
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested a 12-week health behavior program for 50 breast cancer survivors to reduce their risk of heart disease. The program included individual coaching and group sessions focused on exercise and wellness. Researchers measured changes in walking distance and self-reported mental and physical health after one year.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- multi-disciplinary health behavior intervention (individual and group sessions with a health promotion specialist)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could help breast cancer survivors lower their risk of heart disease after treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 50 participants and no control group, so results may not apply to all survivors. The program requires significant time and effort, and long-term benefits are not yet proven.
