Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting

Summary

This trial tests whether a pharmacist-led educational program helps cancer patients on high-risk chemotherapy better understand and follow neutropenic precautions—steps to prevent serious infections when white blood cell counts are low. About 300 adults with various cancers will either receive standard care or additional education including written materials, a counseling session, and a video. Researchers will measure changes in knowledge, adherence to precautions, and infection rates over 2-6 months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Pharmacist-Led Neutropenic Education Package (P-NEP)
What this could lead to
If effective, this educational approach could reduce infection rates and improve safety for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center study with 300 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention relies on self-reported adherence, which can be biased.
