Digital self-management support to improve quality of life during adjuvant hormonal therapy

Official title: Phase III Randomized Controlled Open Label Clinical Trial to Determine the Efficacy of a Digital Self-management Support Tool to Improve the Quality of Life During Adjuvant HOrmonal Therapy for Patients With Early Breast Cancer

Run by Gustave Roussy, Cancer Campus, Grand Paris · NCT06781996 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial tests whether a personalized mobile app plus usual care can help people with early hormone receptor–positive breast cancer have fewer endocrine therapy side effects and better quality of life.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults in France with stage I–III hormone receptor–positive breast cancer who are actively receiving adjuvant endocrine therapy and report endocrine therapy–related adverse effects.

Probably not a fit

Patients with distant metastatic or locally recurrent disease, those not taking endocrine therapy, or people without a compatible smartphone or reliable internet access are unlikely to benefit from this intervention.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This Phase 3, randomized, open-label trial in France will enroll 180 patients with stage I–III hormone receptor–positive breast cancer who are currently on adjuvant endocrine therapy and reporting related side effects. Participants are randomized 1:1 to 12 weeks of the multimodal Resilience© digital companion delivered via a mobile app plus standard supportive care or to standard supportive care alone. The app provides personalized education, self-care modules, and collects patient-reported outcomes to track symptoms and well-being. The study compares quality of life and symptom burden between groups over the 12-week intervention period.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the app could reduce endocrine therapy side effects, improve quality of life, and support patients to remain on their prescribed hormonal treatment.

How similar studies have gone: Previous smaller studies and patient-reported outcome–based oncology interventions have shown promise for digital symptom-support tools, but robust phase 3 evidence is still limited.
