New online program aims to ease anxiety for prostate cancer patients and their families
NCT ID NCT06363266
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a web-based program called TEMPO designed to help men with prostate cancer and their caregivers cope with anxiety and improve physical activity. About 376 patient-caregiver pairs will be randomly assigned to use TEMPO or simply monitor their anxiety for 12 weeks. Those who need more support may then receive additional guidance. The goal is to see if TEMPO reduces anxiety and improves overall well-being.
