NCT ID NCT07759947
First seen Aug 12, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a 6-session telehealth program called STRIDE, which uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help women with hormone-positive breast cancer manage side effects from adjuvant endocrine therapy. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the STRIDE program or usual care. The goal is to see if the program improves coping skills and helps women stay on their medication.

- STRIDE, a 6-session cognitive behavioral therapy-based telehealth program
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this program could offer a practical way to help breast cancer survivors manage side effects and stick with their hormone therapy, potentially improving quality of life and treatment outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral intervention, so benefits may vary. The trial is not a drug test, and results depend on participants' engagement and the program's delivery.
