Cancer Clinical Trial - Clinical Study Comparing Different Strategies to

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This is a multicenter, interventional, non-pharmacological study on a app for oral anticancer therapy management. A total of 124 patients will be considered. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to one of the following interventions: A. electronic diary B. paper diary The primary aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness of the electronic diary in improving adherence to oral therapy treatment compared to the paper diary, in patients with solid and haematological tumors.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a multicenter, interventional, non-pharmacological study on a app for oral anticancer therapy management. The primary aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness of the electronic diary in improving adherence to oral therapy treatment compared to the paper diary, in patients with solid and haematological tumors. The secondary objectives of the study are: 1. describe the reasons for non-adherence in each group (eg. forgetfulness, side effects, misunderstanding of prescription), 2. describe the patient's compliance with the instrument and modalities (electronic diary, paper diary) through a short questionnaire 3. description of the costs related to therapeutic non-adherence. A total of 124 patients will be considered: enrollment will take place consecutively until the predetermined number is reached. Eligible patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio using a balanced procedure a blocks exchanged to one of the following interventions, stratified by type of therapy (chemotherapy vs. biological therapy): A. electronic diary B. paper diary The electronic diary consist of an Android app (for Android version 2.2 and later) for mobile devices, which acts as a diary for the patient. Adherence will be assessed at each treatment cycle by counting the remaining tablets. For patients with disease progression within six treatment cycles, the assessment of adherence and therefore the count of the remaining tablets will end on the date of progression. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
