App vs. paper: which diary boosts cancer pill adherence?
NCT ID NCT04826458
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether an electronic diary app helps cancer patients take their oral medications more consistently than a traditional paper diary. A total of 124 adults with solid tumors or blood cancers were randomly assigned to use either the app or a paper diary to track their pills. The main goal was to see if the app improved how well patients followed their prescribed oral therapy.
