NCT ID NCT06855654
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a remote coaching program called PRISM for people recently diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. The program teaches stress management, goal setting, and coping skills through video sessions. Researchers want to see if it improves resilience and quality of life, especially for Black women who often face worse outcomes. The study involves 120 participants and lasts about 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
- Promoting Resilience in Women with Breast Cancer (PRISM) behavioral intervention
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could offer a practical way to improve emotional well-being and quality of life for people with metastatic breast cancer, especially those facing added stress from social disparities.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 120 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention focuses on stress management and may not directly affect cancer progression or survival.
