New online tool aims to simplify kidney cancer treatment decisions
NCT ID NCT05387863
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a web-based decision aid for people with small kidney tumors (up to 4 cm). The tool provides personalized information about treatment options and their risks and benefits. Researchers will enroll 40 patients to see if the tool improves knowledge, satisfaction, and shared decision-making compared to a standard pamphlet.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Decision Aid Web Tool
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this tool could help patients and doctors make better, more personalized decisions about treating small kidney tumors.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (40 participants) that only measures decision-making, not health outcomes. The tool may not improve actual treatment results.
