A Coping Skills Training Program (LiveWell) for Improving Quality of Life of Patients Living with Metastatic Lung Cancer

Trial Status: closed to accrual

This clinical trial develops and tests a coping skills training program called LiveWell in improving the quality of life of patients living with lung cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). The LiveWell program teaches patients skills from dialectical behavioral therapy, an evidence-based type of psychotherapy, that have been specifically adapted to help patients balance emotions and to better manage distress (e.g., anxiety, sadness) and symptoms (e.g., fatigue, pain, breathlessness) that can be common when living with metastatic lung cancer.
