New coaching program aims to boost quality of life for ovarian cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT05752448
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a coaching program called POSTCARE-O for women with ovarian cancer who have finished their initial treatment. The program provides support during the transition to survivorship, focusing on quality of life and emotional well-being. 120 women will be randomly assigned to receive the coaching or usual care, and researchers will measure quality of life after 12 weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- survivorship coaching intervention
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a practical way to improve quality of life and emotional well-being for women living with ovarian cancer after treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage behavioral study, not a drug trial. The coaching may not significantly improve quality of life compared to usual care, and results may not apply to all patients.
