AI-assisted whole-course management for safe medicine use in advanced solid tumors
Official title: AI Agent-Enabled Whole-Course Management to Improve Anticancer Medication Safety and Reduce Healthcare Burden in Advanced Solid Tumors: A Prospective, Single-Center, Non-Randomized, Parallel-Group Real-World Controlled Study
Run by Tianjin Medical University Second Hospital · NCT07917351 · Data updated 2026-11-12
A real-world study compares a smartphone-based digital management system with usual care to see if it reduces drug-related problems and healthcare needs for adults with advanced solid tumors receiving cancer therapy.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (18+) with advanced solid tumors (stage III-IV) receiving systemic anticancer therapy and able to use a smartphone for digital management.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who cannot or prefer not to use smartphone-based tools or who have conditions requiring close in-person monitoring may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This prospective, single-center study enrolls adults with advanced solid tumors who are starting or receiving systemic anticancer therapy. Participants choose either a digital management group using an app for medication reminders, AI-assisted lab results interpretation, adverse event reporting, and clinician alerts, or a conventional group with standard follow-up by outpatient visits and phone calls. Over 12 months, the study looks at overall and severe adverse events, emergency visits, 30-day readmissions, dose changes, treatment delays, and time to recovery from adverse events. The goal is to see if digital whole-course management improves medication safety and reduces the burden on healthcare systems. The trial is conducted at Tianjin Medical University Second Hospital in Tianjin, China.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients could experience safer treatment courses and less burden on healthcare resources through timely alerts and streamlined monitoring.
How similar studies have gone: Digital health tools have shown promise in improving monitoring and adherence in cancer care, but results vary by setting and implementation.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Histologically or cytologically confirmed malignant tumor, scheduled to receive or currently receiving systemic anticancer therapy (chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or endocrine therapy). 2. Age ≥18 years. 3. For the digital management group: able to independently use a smartphone to scan a QR code to log in, photograph and upload laboratory reports, and complete online forms; for the control group: able to communicate by telephone and attend outpatient visits. 4. Expected survival ≥12 months. 5. Able to understand the study and provide written informed consent. 6. Receiving regular home oral or cyclic intravenous anticancer treatment and requiring long-term out-of-hospital follow-up. 7. Able to complete 12 months of follow-up. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Pregnant or breastfeeding women. 2. Severe cognitive impairment or severe psychiatric illness precluding independent follow-up or causing extremely poor adherence. 3. End-stage multi-organ failure or moribund condition with expected survival \<12 months. 4. Receiving only palliative supportive care, with no planned standard anticancer drug treatment. 5. Other conditions judged by the investigator as unsuitable for this study.
