Can a phone app keep cancer patients on track with their meds?
NCT ID NCT07073807
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a new smartphone app designed to help cancer patients remember to take their oral anticancer medications and report any side effects. The app also helps patients communicate with their care team and find support for financial or social needs. Researchers will enroll 35 English- or Spanish-speaking adults with any type of cancer who are starting or recently started oral anticancer therapy. The goal is to see if the app is easy to use and helps patients stick to their treatment plan.
