Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study develops and tests a mobile app to help breast cancer and rare cancer survivors manage their fear of the cancer coming back. About 252 participants will try one of three app versions to see which is most helpful and easy to use. The goal is to create a personalized tool that supports emotional well-being after treatment.
