NCT ID NCT05677802
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether a 10-week stress reduction program is doable and helpful for people with triple negative breast cancer. The program includes relaxation, coping skills, and social support, and also addresses basic needs like utilities or transportation. Researchers will measure stress levels and biological markers in 40 participants to see if the program improves well-being.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Stress management therapy (biobehavioral stress reduction program)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a stress reduction program helps triple negative breast cancer patients feel better and cope with treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It focuses on stress, not on treating the cancer itself.
