Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults 18 years or older with pancreatic adenocarcinoma who are either undergoing active treatment or about to start treatment within 30 days, English-speaking, and owning a smartphone.

Probably not a fit

Patients without smartphone access, non-English speakers, or those not receiving active treatment may not benefit from this approach.

What this trial studies

The trial explores feasibility of using the MyCap smartphone application for patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma to self-track time spent on treatment-related care over an 8-week period. Participants record daily time logs and may have their electronic health records reviewed and complete surveys as part of the intervention. The study will determine if the app is practical and acceptable for measuring time toxicity in this population. Recruitment is limited to adults with active treatment plans, English speakers, and smartphone access, at a single center in Columbus, Ohio.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the app could provide a practical way to quantify and manage the time patients spend on treatment.

How similar studies have gone: Time-tracking and patient-reported burden methods have shown feasibility in other cancer types, supporting potential utility for pancreatic cancer.
