Summary

This study tests whether regular phone or video calls from a trained oncology nurse can help breast cancer patients on CDK inhibitor drugs catch and manage side effects early. About 124 women will be randomly assigned to either standard care or standard care plus structured telenursing follow-up. The goal is to see if this approach reduces the number and severity of side effects, emergency visits, and treatment interruptions.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Structured telenursing follow-up (telephone or video consultations by trained oncology nurses)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a simple, home-based way to catch and manage side effects early, helping patients stay on treatment and avoid emergency visits.

What could go wrong

This is a relatively small, early-stage behavioral study, not testing a new drug. The benefit may be modest or hard to prove, and results may not apply to all patients or settings.
