NCT ID NCT07532590
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing an app called PancreasPlus for people with pancreatic cancer. The app helps patients track symptoms, get information, and communicate with their care team from home. Researchers want to see if using the app improves quality of life, reduces anxiety, and cuts down on unplanned hospital visits. About 185 adults with pancreatic cancer will use the app for 3 months.
