NCT ID NCT07499089
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test a culturally tailored online peer-support program for Korean-speaking breast cancer survivors and patients. Over 12 weeks, mentors (survivors) and mentees (patients in treatment) will interact through a bilingual platform. Researchers will measure whether the program is engaging and whether it improves quality of life, anxiety, depression, and social support.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- online peer-support program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a culturally tailored support option to improve emotional well-being and social support for Korean breast cancer patients and survivors.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early-stage study (24 participants) focused on feasibility, so it may not show clear benefits or be generalizable to all Korean breast cancer survivors.

Who is studied
The study population consists of Korean American breast cancer patients and survivors. Participants include mentors (breast cancer survivors diagnosed at least two years prior and who have completed treatment or are on long-term maintenance therapy) and mentees (patients currently undergoing active breast cancer treatment). All participants are required to have access to a smartphone or computer and be able to participate in an online peer-support platform. Participants will be recruited through community outreach, referrals, and self-referral using a QR code-based screening process.
