Smartphone app aims to boost breast cancer treatment adherence
NCT ID NCT04554927
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a web application can help breast cancer patients take their hormone therapy as prescribed. About 438 patients starting hormone therapy will either use the app or receive standard care. The goal is to see if the app improves medication adherence and quality of life over 18 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- web application
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that a simple web app helps breast cancer patients take their hormone therapy more consistently, potentially improving treatment outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, single-center trial testing a behavioral intervention, not a new drug. The app may not significantly improve adherence, and results may not apply to all patients.
