MyGENESIS-PATH: A Pilot and Feasibility Trial of a Digital Intervention for Donor-Conceived Adults
Portugal60 participantsStarted 2026-07-01
Plain-language summary
MyGENESIS-PATH is a self-guided digital psychoeducational intervention designed to support donor-conceived adults in managing stress and navigating identity, information, family, DNA-testing, and donor- or sibling-contact-related experiences.
This randomized pilot and feasibility trial will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of delivering MyGENESIS-PATH and of conducting a future definitive randomized controlled trial. Sixty donor-conceived adults will be randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to immediate access to MyGENESIS-PATH or to a waitlist control group. The primary objectives are to assess recruitment, retention, intervention uptake and completion, data completeness, acceptability, usability, and potential unwanted effects. Changes in perceived stress, psychological wellbeing, coping, and donor-conception-related identity will be explored to assess the suitability and variability of outcome measures and to inform the design of a future trial.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
