Can a website and a coach help cancer survivors plan End-of-Life care?
NCT ID NCT07052630
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a patient navigator (a health coach) and a website called PACT help blood cancer survivors who had a stem cell transplant plan their future medical care. About 40 adults who are 1 to 5 years post-transplant will be assigned to usual care, the website, the coach, or both. The goal is to see if these tools are practical and acceptable, and whether they help people complete advance directives and have conversations about their care wishes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Patient navigation and a web-based advance care planning tool (PACT website)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that simple support tools help blood cancer survivors make care plans that match their wishes, improving their quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study with only 40 participants. It tests whether the approach is practical, not whether it improves health outcomes. Results may not apply to all patients.
