Proportion of patients who engaged with the ePRO tool |
The point estimation of proportion of patients who engaged with the ePRO tool via virtual care chat at least once after enrollment and its 95% binomial confidence interval (CI) will be obtained. |
Up to 6 months |

Primary |
Change in overall score of EQ-5D |
The EQ-5D is a standardized instrument for measuring generic health status. The health status is measured in terms of five dimensions (5D); mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. The respondents self-rate their level of severity for each dimension by selecting one of the following responses: no problems (0), slight problems (1), mild problems (2), moderate problems (3), or severe problems (4) with a particular dimension. Lower scores indicate less issues/problems with that particular health dimension. Change in overall score of EQ-5D index between the intervention and usual of care arms between baseline and 6 months will be reported |

Proportion of chat modules completed |
To evaluate the degree of engagement with virtual care chat as defined by the proportion of chat modules completed per patient. Point estimation and 95% binomial CI will be obtained assuming normality assumption holds. |
Up to 6 months |
|
Secondary |
Proportion of chats in which PRO-CTCAE was offered were completed. |
To evaluate the degree of engagement with virtual care chat as defined by the proportion of chats in which PRO-CTCAE was offered were completed. Point estimation and 95% binomial CI will be obtained assuming normality assumption holds |

Change in EQ-5D scores over time |
The EQ-5D is a standardized instrument for measuring generic health status. The health status is measured in terms of five dimensions (5D); mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. The respondents self-rate their level of severity for each dimension by selecting one of the following responses: no problems (0), slight problems (1), mild problems (2), moderate problems (3), or severe problems (4) with a particular dimension. Lower scores indicate less issues/problems with that particular health dimension. Change in overall score of EQ-5D index between the intervention and usual of care arms between baseline, every 3 months, and at the completion of the study will be examined using a linear mixed model. |

|
Secondary |
Number of patient-reported symptoms |
Number of patient-reported symptoms over the 6-month study period will be reported by frequency of symptom. |
Up to 6 months |
|
Secondary |
Number of patient-reported symptoms that were severe and were escalated |
Number of patient-reported symptoms that were categorized as severe and escalated will be reported by frequency of symptom. |
Up to 6 months |
|
Secondary |
Mean change in pain score over time. |
The pain score will be obtained using a standard pain index with values ranging from 0= No Pain to 10= Worst pain as reported by patients. Higher scores indicate a greater degree of patient reported pain. The change in pain scores will be evaluated using a linear mixed model. |
Up to 6 months |
|
Secondary |
Number of phone calls and secure messages |
The overall volume of phone calls and secure messages between each patient and the clinical team will be reported. |
Up to 6 months |
|

Predictive value of ED Visit and/or hospital admission |
To prospectively validate a risk model predicting ED visits and admissions due to treatment side effects via Model area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC). Accuracy of a previously developed model will be prospectively assessed during the course of this study. The model currently generates an assessment of risk that a patient will have an Chemotherapy Measure (OP-35) qualifying event in the 30-day period following an infusional therapy administration. An OP-35 event is defined as: One or more inpatient admissions for anemia, dehydration, diarrhea, emesis, fever, nausea, neutropenia, pain, pneumonia, or sepsis within 30 days of chemotherapy treatment. |
