Summary

This study looks at whether adding a technology-based symptom monitoring program to regular palliative care (in-person and remote visits) can improve quality of life for people with advanced solid tumors who are also in phase 1 immunotherapy trials. About 119 participants will use the program to report symptoms, and researchers will measure changes in distress and satisfaction. The goal is to see if this extra support helps manage symptoms better than standard care alone.
