This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This pilot study tests whether elderly cancer patients (65 and older) can use an online tool to regularly report symptoms and quality of life during treatment. Over 3 months, patients fill out weekly questionnaires on side effects and two longer surveys on well-being. The goal is to see if this kind of remote monitoring is practical and helpful for this age group.

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 remote monitoring is feasible for older cancer patients, potentially leading to better symptom management and quality of life during treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 33 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The tool may be too complex for some elderly users, and the study does not test whether it improves health outcomes.
