NCT ID NCT05720910

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a new way of organizing care for people aged 70 and older who have cancer (breast, lung, colorectal, or prostate) plus at least one other serious health condition. The GERONTE program brings all their doctors and nurses together using a shared digital care plan. Researchers want to see if this improves patients' quality of life after 6 months compared to usual care. About 720 patients from 8 hospitals in France are taking part.
