Can an online tool help older cancer patients stay connected to their care team?
NCT ID NCT04913259
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests whether elderly cancer patients (65 and older) can use an online tool to regularly report symptoms and quality of life during treatment. Over 3 months, patients fill out weekly questionnaires on side effects and two longer surveys on well-being. The goal is to see if this kind of remote monitoring is practical and helpful for this age group.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that remote monitoring is feasible for older cancer patients, potentially leading to better symptom management and quality of life during treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 33 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The tool may be too complex for some elderly users, and the study does not test whether it improves health outcomes.
