Program for early detection and management of side effects in metastatic cancer patients
Official title: A Study of the ApricityCare Program for Early Detection and Management of Treatment-Related Adverse Events in Patients With Cancer
Run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center · NCT06693687 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests a smartphone program that helps people with metastatic cancer spot and manage side effects from their treatment early on to see if it reduces the chances of stopping therapy due to these issues.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the ApricityCare program aimed at identifying early clinical signs of treatment-related adverse events in patients with metastatic cancer. The primary objective is to determine the rate of therapy discontinuation due to toxicity among participants using the program. Secondary objectives include measuring participant engagement with the program, frequency of symptom reporting, and response times to reported symptoms. The study focuses on patients receiving systemic anti-cancer therapy and utilizes a smartphone application for monitoring.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could help reduce treatment discontinuation and improve management of side effects in metastatic cancer patients.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using technology for monitoring and managing treatment-related side effects, suggesting potential success for this approach.
