Developing an Experimental Framework to Evaluate Oncologist Emotion Regulation
NCT05365763 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The research team recruited physicians (medical oncologists and specialty palliative care providers) trained in a communication tool called the serious illness conversation guide. Physicians conducted a simulated, telehealth serious illness conversation with an actor playing the role of a patient with advanced cancer. Physicians completed psychologic inventories before and after the encounter, documented the encounter using a template in the electronic medical record, and then participated in a structured interview afterwards discussing what they were feeling during the encounter and how it impacted the encounter. Physicians also wore three heart rate variability sensors during the simulated encounter.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05365763
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05365763 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 11 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, which has 396 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Communication appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Simulated telehealth serious illness conversation visit is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT05365763 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include New Hampshire. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
