Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are female breast cancer patients aged 19 to 80 who are undergoing or have recently completed treatment for stage 0-III breast cancer.

Probably not a fit

Patients with a previous cancer diagnosis (excluding skin cancer treated only by surgery) or those who do not agree to the study protocol may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

The REBECCA-1 study is an observational research project aimed at monitoring fatigue levels in breast cancer survivors using real-world data collected through electronic patient records, digital devices, and self-reported questionnaires. Participants will be categorized into three groups based on their fatigue levels: high fatigue, low fatigue, and a healthy control group. After completing their cancer treatment, patients will receive a smart watch and mobile app to track their daily activities and fatigue levels over time. This innovative approach aims to provide insights into the long-term effects of cancer treatment on fatigue and overall quality of life.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to better management strategies for fatigue in breast cancer survivors, improving their quality of life.

How similar studies have gone: This approach of using real-world data to monitor chronic conditions in cancer survivors is novel and has not been extensively tested in similar studies.
