Can a smartphone app improve quality of life for blood cancer patients?
NCT ID NCT06472128
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a digital app called DREAMLAND designed to improve quality of life and emotional well-being for adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) undergoing intensive chemotherapy. About 200 hospitalized patients will either use DREAMLAND or a standard wellness app. Researchers will compare how patients rate their quality of life at day 20 and beyond.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- digital application (DREAMLAND)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a simple, self-guided digital tool to help AML patients feel better emotionally and physically during treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage behavioral study with 200 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The app is only available in English, limiting who can use it.

Inclusion Criteria: * Hospitalized patients (age \> 18 years) with a diagnosis of AML. * Initiating treatment with either a) intensive chemotherapy (7+3) or modification of this regimen on a clinical trial, or a similar intensive regimen or b) hypomethylating agents (HMA) +/- additional agents or modification of this regimen on a clinical trial. * Ability to comprehend and speak English as the digital apps are only available in English Note: Patients newly diagnosed as well as those with relapsed/refractory AML initiating treatment with intensive or HMA-based chemotherapy will be eligible to participate. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with a diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia * Patients with acute or unstable psychiatric or cognitive conditions which the treating clinicians believes prohibits informed consent or compliance with study procedures.
