Smartphone app aims to ease ovarian cancer treatment side effects
NCT ID NCT05523700
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a mobile app designed to help doctors keep track of symptoms in women with advanced ovarian cancer. Ten patients used the app, which combined their medical records with regular symptom reports. The goal was to see if this information helped the care team make better decisions to improve the patients' well-being during treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- mobile application
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this app could help doctors better manage symptoms and improve quality of life for ovarian cancer patients during treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This was a very small, early study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The app is a tool, not a treatment, and may not directly improve health outcomes.
