NCT ID NCT04931329
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving cancer patients a drug vigilance card helps them avoid medication errors and interactions when seeing other doctors. One hundred patients on oral chemotherapy or targeted therapies at Limoges University Hospital will use the card. Researchers will measure patient and caregiver satisfaction and medication compliance at three months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a simple card helps cancer patients avoid dangerous drug interactions and take their medications correctly.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study measuring satisfaction and compliance, not clinical outcomes. It may not prove the card improves safety or be generalizable to other hospitals.
