New online tool aims to ease cancer worry in young adults
NCT ID NCT07529080
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot trial tests whether adding emotional support to a cancer information website helps young adults (ages 20-39) with thyroid, melanoma, or testicular cancer feel less worried and distressed. 142 participants will either get general cancer info or the same info plus personalized emotional support strategies. The study measures changes in cancer-related worry and distress after 3 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Thrive Track website with emotional support content
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a simple online tool to help young cancer survivors manage worry and distress better than information alone.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study (142 people) testing a behavioral tool, not a drug. It may not show a clear benefit, and results may not apply to all cancer types or ages.

Inclusion Criteria: * PARTICIPANTS RECRUITED FROM SURVEILLANCE, EPIDEMIOLOGY, AND END RESULTS PROGRAM (SEER)-GEORGIA: Age 18-37 at time of cancer diagnosis and age 20-39 at time of enrollment * PARTICIPANTS RECRUITED FROM SEER-GEORGIA: Diagnosed with differentiated thyroid cancer (papillary or follicular thyroid cancer), melanoma, or testicular cancer at any stage and reported to the SEER-Georgia registry * PARTICIPANTS RECRUITED FROM SEER-GEORGIA: 2-10 years after diagnosis with cancer * PARTICIPANTS RECRUITED FROM SEER-GEORGIA: English speaking (able to read and speak English) * PARTICIPANTS RECRUITED FROM SEER-GEORGIA: Report of any cancer-related worry (on a 5-point Likert scale from not at all to very worried; those who indicate "not at all" will be told the study is focused on those who experience worry) * PARTICIPANTS RECRUITED FROM SEER-GEORGIA: Residing in the United States * PARTICIPANTS RECRUITED FROM THYROID CANCER SURVIVORS' ASSOCIATION INC. (THYCA): Age 18-37 at time of cancer diagnosis and age 20-39 at time of enrollment * PARTICIPANTS RECRUITED FROM THYCA: Diagnosed with differentiated thyroid cancer (papillary or follicular thyroid cancer) at any stage * PARTICIPANTS RECRUITED FROM THYCA: 2-10 years after diagnosis with cancer * PARTICIPANTS RECRUITED FROM THYCA: English speaking (able to read and speak English) * PARTICIPANTS RECRUITED FROM THYCA: Report of any cancer-related worry (on a 5-point Likert scale from not at all to very worried; those who indicate "not at all" will be told the study is focused on those who experience worry) * PARTICIPANTS RECRUITED FROM THYCA: Residing in the United States Exclusion Criteria: * PARTICIPANTS RECRUITED FROM SEER-GEORGIA: Subjects from certain vulnerable populations will be excluded as appropriate: fetuses, neonates, children under age 18, prisoners, institutionalized individuals, or others who may be considered vulnerable populations per the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) * It is possible that a subject might be pregnant. Because this involves surveys and reviewing an informational website, participation should have no additional risk for a pregnant woman * PARTICIPANTS RECRUITED FROM SEER-GEORGIA: Subjects that do not meet the inclusion criteria * PARTICIPANTS RECRUITED FROM THYCA: Subjects from certain vulnerable populations will be excluded as appropriate fetuses, neonates, children under age 18, prisoners, institutionalized individuals, or others who may be considered vulnerable populations per the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) * It is possible that a subject might be pregnant.
