NCT ID NCT06625047
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether video doctor visits (telehealth) work as well as in-person visits for people with brain tumors (gliomas) who are taking oral chemotherapy. 30 patients took part, alternating between telehealth and in-person checkups. The goal was to see which type of visit patients liked more and if it affected their treatment completion.
