Expanding the Support of Family Caregivers of Diverse Patients With Cancer and Diabetes
NCT07061652 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This study investigates the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of enCompass Humana, a social support intervention for caregivers of patients with cancer and diabetes. The enCompass program aims to improve support for these caregivers through a randomized feasibility study of a pilot-tested coaching and navigation program. Caregiver services and system-level support are essential, but successful interventions for cancer caregivers are rarely standardized or systematically disseminated. Consequently, many programs do not reach the most underserved caregivers. Challenges to implementation include substantial clinical staff involvement, lack of dissemination and implementation information, and failure to tailor interventions to rural contexts. Despite the lack of standardized supportive interventions, national reports and legislative efforts increasingly recognize the need to support caregivers. Caregivers reported unmet needs in all domains of social support, including instrumental help (e.g., in-home help, housekeeping), logistical and coordination support (e.g., food delivery, accompanying patients to appointments), information about illness and progression, emotional support, self-care guidance, and financial assistance (e.g., parking costs, lost wages). Caregivers show high interest in services but cited uncertainty and lack of strategies for accessing resources. Many are unaware of existing services. Interviews with oncology clinicians and healthcare administrators revealed similar findings: resources exist, but there is no system to match them with caregivers' needs. Preliminary data suggest the intervention improves caregiver coping self-efficacy and reduces anxiety and depression in patients. With input from stakeholders, including caregivers, patients, family caregiving experts, and clinical care experts, the study team adapted the CARING application into enCompass to mitigate structural barriers and normalize support-seeking.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07061652
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07061652 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 162 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, which has 374 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 2 interventions — of which Survey 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: NCT07061652 reports 3 study locations spanning 3 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Florida, North Carolina, Vermont. 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.
