Educational Tools for the Improvement of Early Advance Care Planning in Adolescents and Young Adults With Advanced Solid Tumors and High-Grade Brain Tumors
NCT07174661 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This clinical trial studies whether educational tools work to improve early advance care planning (ACP) in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with solid tumors that may have spread from where they first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) and high-grade brain tumors. The incidence of AYA cancers is on the rise with approximately 90,000 new diagnoses yearly in the United States. Cancer remains the leading cause of disease-related death among AYAs, which could be due to patients having more advanced disease at presentation. It is recommended that AYAs begin ACP conversations at the start of treatment. ACP includes clarifying goals of care, discussions about end-of-life preferences, and completing a legal document that states the treatment or care a person wishes to receive or not receive if they become unable to make medical decisions (advance directive). The educational tools in this study include an early ACP educational video featuring AYAs with cancer and an ACP appointment geared for AYAs. Patients can access and watch the educational video at home prior to their scheduled ACP appointment. During the ACP appointment, a tailored ACP guide made specifically for AYAs is reviewed and questions regarding ACP are answered. This may help to introduce the importance of key ACP concepts, which may improve early ACP in AYAs with advanced solid tumors and high-grade brain tumors.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07174661
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07174661 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 50 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Mayo Clinic, which has 3,246 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Advanced Malignant Solid Neoplasm appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 4 interventions — of which Survey Administration 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: NCT07174661 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Arizona. 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.
