NCT ID NCT05708703
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tracks how much time people with advanced breast or ovarian cancer spend on care-related tasks like appointments, travel, and managing symptoms. Participants use a smartphone app for 28 days to log activities and complete surveys about their well-being. The goal is to understand the 'time toxicity' of cancer treatment, not to test a new drug or therapy.
