In the randomised trial by Rodin and colleagues (Journal of Clinical Oncology 2018), 305 outpatients at a comprehensive cancer centre were assigned to CALM plus usual care or usual care alone. CALM participants reported less severe depressive symptoms at 3 months (the primary end point) and at 6 months, and greater end-of-life preparation at 6 months; no adverse effects were identified.
