NCT ID NCT07180901

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a new care coordination system called PRONTO-HN for head and neck cancer patients. The system uses a risk model to identify patients likely to need radiation after surgery and then coordinates appointments and alerts to reduce delays. Researchers will compare 85 patients before and after the system is implemented to see if more patients start radiation within 42 days of surgery.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Proactive care coordination system (PRONTO-HN)

What this could lead to

If successful, this system could help more head and neck cancer patients start radiotherapy on time after surgery, potentially improving survival and reducing recurrence.

What could go wrong

This is a small pilot study at one hospital, so results may not apply elsewhere. The intervention is administrative and may not reduce delays as expected.
