Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18-55 with a hematologic malignancy who completed induction/consolidation chemotherapy, worked at least 6 months in the prior 2 years, and have not yet returned to work.

Probably not a fit

Patients not planning to return to work or those outside the French-speaking group may not benefit.

What this trial studies

This interventional study targets adults with hematologic malignancies who have completed induction or consolidation chemotherapy and have not yet returned to work. Participants undergo a specialized return-to-work consultation designed to support resumption of employment. The study aims to see if this intervention improves readiness and likelihood of returning to work, along with related quality-of-life factors. It is conducted at multiple French centers, led by Angers University Hospital. No maintenance therapy is involved, and French-speaking participants who meet criteria are eligible.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may more readily return to work and regain financial and social well-being.

How similar studies have gone: Previous research has linked return-to-work self-efficacy to better RTW outcomes in oncology, supporting this approach’s potential.
