Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults 18 years or older starting a new line of anti-cancer therapy at Erasmus MC, fluent in Dutch, with internet access and ability to use a digital device.

Probably not a fit

Patients who have difficulty engaging with digital tools or who require content beyond the physician-approved material may not experience benefit.

What this trial studies

This interventional study tests whether an AI-generated, patient-specific educational avatar paired with shorter nurse-led education can match standard education in helping patients recall information about their cancer treatment. The system uses physician-approved content and interactive video to deliver personalized information in Dutch to adults starting a new anti-cancer regimen at Erasmus MC. The trial focuses on recall of treatment details, safety instructions, and potential side effects, comparing it to usual education approaches. It leverages internet access and common devices, with recruitment limited to Dutch-speaking adults who can consent. The goal is to determine non-inferiority in recall while potentially reducing clinician workload.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients may achieve similar or better recall of treatment information with less time spent by nurses.

How similar studies have gone: Prior education tools are largely static; this study explores a novel AI-driven avatar approach with non-inferiority design to current methods.
