New study tracks how melanoma patients use a smartphone app during targeted treatment
NCT ID NCT04911998
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study followed about 400 adults with advanced BRAF-mutant melanoma who were taking targeted therapy (BRAF/MEK inhibitors) and using a smartphone app called TavieSkin. The goal was to describe patient characteristics, how they used the app, their quality of life, and treatment satisfaction. No new treatments were given; researchers simply collected data from app users across several European countries.
