Can a smartphone app ease the burden of multiple myeloma?
NCT ID NCT06073353
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a mobile app called THRIVE-M designed to help people with multiple myeloma cope with symptoms, emotions, and relationships. About 120 patients will either use the app or receive usual care. Researchers will measure whether the app improves quality of life, reduces distress, and lessens fatigue after 8 weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- THRIVE-M mobile application (psychosocial support program)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this app could offer a simple, at-home way to help multiple myeloma patients feel better emotionally and physically during treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial testing a behavioral intervention, not a drug. The app may not provide significant benefits over usual care, and results may not apply to all patients.
