NCT ID NCT06115811
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is developing and testing a web-based learning tool for radiation oncology residents. The tool includes a systematic review system and case examples to help residents learn how to evaluate radiation treatment plans. Twenty residents will use the tool, and researchers will measure changes in their exam scores and confidence. This is an educational study, not a treatment trial.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Radiation Treatment Plan Evaluation Learning Tool (web-based educational program)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this tool could become a standard way to train radiation oncology residents, improving their skills in reviewing treatment plans.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It focuses on education, not direct patient outcomes.
