Clinical Trial Summary

Over the past decade, oral administration of chemotherapy has significantly increased and is anticipated to continue to grow. Despite the conveniences, these oral regimens can be complex and pose challenge to patient adherence. Further safety concerns are warranted due to insufficient patient education, general perception of reduced toxicity with oral treatment, improper prescribing practice, and the lack of monitoring of observable adverse effects. Therefore, effective medication counselling and patient education is vital to empower patients and their caregivers to increase adherence and safely managed medication to achieve optimal treatment outcome. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of pharmacist intervention with structured oral chemotherapy education and patient monitoring on capecitabine treatment effectiveness (Relative Dose Intensity (RDI), Adherence and Persistence), safety outcomes (Adverse Event, Drug Related Problem and Health service utilization) and chemotherapy knowledge and self-efficiency among cancer patient care in Penang, a northern state oncology referral centre. There are numerous published studies of pharmaceutical care implementations focusing mainly on in-patient setting and currently evolving in ambulatory cancer patients especially in western countries compared to Asian region. However systematic reviews show major gap still exist with paucity of scientific evidence on the effectiveness of therapeutic educational interventions for improving patient safety and adherence to oral chemotherapy mainly due to study design and method that are unable to strongly prove the outcome. Hence highlighting the novelty and significance for this research using randomized controlled design, standardized & validated tools for multimodal pharmacist intervention, long-term clinical outcome such as RDI with longitudinal assessment till treatment completion.
