Smartphone app aims to capture cancer patients' diets during radiation
NCT ID NCT07682714
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tests whether cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy can use a mobile app called myCircadian Clock to record everything they eat and drink (except water and medications). Twenty adults starting radiation for cancer will use the app throughout their treatment. The goal is to see if at least 75% of participants can log their diet on at least 80% of treatment days, which would show that this method is practical for future research.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- myCircadian Clock app
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a simple mobile app is a practical way to track diet in cancer patients during radiation, helping researchers better understand nutrition needs.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small feasibility study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The app relies on patients remembering to log their food, which may be difficult during treatment.
