New program aims to boost medication adherence in breast cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT05496829
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a program to help people with early-stage breast cancer take their hormone therapy and heart medications as prescribed. Participants receive a pharmacist review, training on using a patient portal, and a reminder app. The goal is to see if this support improves medication adherence at 24 and 52 weeks, which could lower the risk of cancer recurrence and heart problems.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Multicomponent Adherence Intervention (behavioral: pharmacist session, patient portal training, reminder app)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could help breast cancer patients stick to their medications, potentially reducing cancer recurrence and heart disease risk.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral intervention, not a new drug, so its impact is limited to improving adherence. The trial is relatively small (350 participants) and relies on self-reporting, which may not be fully accurate.
