SUPPORT-T in Patients With Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis and Their Caregivers

This pilot randomized controlled trial evaluates the feasibility, acceptability, and accessibility of SUPPORT-T, a digitally delivered palliative care intervention for patients with Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis (PPF) and their caregivers. The intervention includes a 9-week digital application guided by a nurse interventionist and quarterly virtual support groups over one year. Participants will be recruited from rural South Carolina and urban New York City. The study compares SUPPORT-T to Enhanced Usual Care and aims to inform a future multi-site trial.
