NCT ID NCT05080166
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests a program called UPLYFT designed to help lymphoma survivors who have finished treatment cope with the fear that their cancer might return. The program provides information and tools to improve quality of life and reduce worry. Researchers will first gather feedback from clinicians and then test the program with about 74 survivors to see if it is feasible and acceptable.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- UPLYFT (Understand and Prevail: Lymphoma Fear of Recurrence Therapy) - a behavioral intervention
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a structured program to help lymphoma survivors cope with fear of cancer returning and improve their daily well-being.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early pilot study with only 74 participants, focused on feasibility and feedback. It is not designed to prove the program works, and results may not apply to all survivors.
