NCT ID NCT07398677
First seen Feb 12, 2026 · Last updated Jun 21, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study tests whether telepresence robots can help children aged 5-17 with cancer attend school remotely when they can't be there in person. The robots let kids see, hear, and talk in class from their hospital or home. Researchers will track school attendance, social well-being, and academic progress over eight months in 128 children across three Danish hospitals.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
telepresence robot (AV1 or BEAM) plus school navigation support
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help children with cancer stay connected to school and peers during treatment, reducing long-term academic and social setbacks.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage study (128 participants) testing a device and support program, not a drug. Results may not apply to all children or settings, and the robot may not fully replace in-person attendance.
Conditions
