NCT ID NCT05377320
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a computer tool that helps doctors and cancer survivors decide together on the best heart-protective medications and tests. Researchers will enroll 60 cancer survivors at risk for heart problems. The goal is to see if the tool is easy to use and helps people follow heart-health guidelines.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

- Clinical decision aid tool
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this tool could help cancer survivors get the right heart screenings and medications to prevent heart problems.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small feasibility study, so it may not prove the tool improves health outcomes. The tool might not be practical or accepted by doctors and patients.
