NCT ID NCT06361056
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested a mobile health app designed to help Black women with breast cancer learn about clinical trials and decide whether to join. Eighty Black women with newly diagnosed breast cancer who had a smartphone or computer took part. The app provided education and a way to communicate with their care team. Researchers measured how many women completed the study and how satisfied they were.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- mHealth app
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this app could help more Black women learn about and join breast cancer clinical trials, making research more inclusive.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed feasibility study with 80 participants, so it cannot prove the app improves trial participation. Results may not apply to all Black women.
