New program aims to keep cancer patients on treatment by spotting side effects sooner
NCT ID NCT06693687
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests the ApricityCare program, which helps people with metastatic cancer and their doctors spot treatment side effects early. The goal is to manage these side effects quickly so patients can stay on their cancer therapy longer. About 425 adults starting systemic cancer therapy will take part.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ApricityCare program (behavioral intervention for early detection and management of treatment side effects)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could help people with metastatic cancer stay on their treatment longer by catching and managing side effects early.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early study without a control group, so it's unclear if the program truly reduces treatment stops. Results may not apply to all cancer types.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18 years of age or older * Confirmed diagnosis of cancer * Part 1 (Run-in Phase): Only patients with prostate, kidney, and/or bladder cancer will be enrolled with either localized or metastatic disease. * Part 2 (Expansion Phase): Metastatic patients will be enrolled. Note, evaluable metastatic patients from Ppart 1 will be counted in Cohort A as described in section 8.4. * Planned to receive systemic anti-cancer therapy * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document * Ability to speak, read, and understand one of the following languages: English, Spanish, Mandarin and Cantonese Chinese * Ownership of a smartphone and willingness to use it as outlined by the protocol and described in the ICF Exclusion Criteria: \- Have any medical, psychological, or social condition that, in the opinion of the investigator would preclude participation in this study (pregnancy is not exclusionary and pregnant women will be permitted to enroll in the study).
