Revealing Information Genuinely & Honestly Across Time - Communication Preferences Visit
NCT06993688 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The purpose of this research study is to obtain insights and feedback from patients and parents about a new approach to support conversations about how cancer may affect one's future life and quality of life (i.e., prognostic communication). This study involves creating a personalized approach to discussing prognosis. Primary Objectives * To evaluate the feasibility of implementing the RIGHTimeCPV intervention among pediatric oncology patients, caregivers, and clinicians (referred to herein as "shareholders"). * To assess the acceptability of the intervention across the shareholder groups. Secondary Objectives * To explore the potential impact of the RIGHTimeCPV intervention on communication quality, concordance in prognostic understanding, and therapeutic alliance between patients/families and multidisciplinary clinicians. * To explore whether the practice of eliciting, sharing, and honoring individualized communication preferences is sustained by clinicians after participation in the RIGHTimeCPV intervention.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06993688
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06993688 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, 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 85 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, which has 441 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Cancer appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 3 interventions — of which Prognostic Communication-Patient/parent 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: NCT06993688 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Tennessee. 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.
