About

A pilot study of an ePRO system in cancer patients receiving systemic therapies.

Full description

The primary purpose of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility of the Noona Healthcare Mobile PRO Application to describe oncology patient engagement using a web-based symptom self-monitoring instrument. Additionally, the studyy will dentify side effects as well as long term or chronic adverse events during and following cancer therapy based on the United States (US) National Cancer Institute (NCI) Patient Reported Outcomes Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE), and identify patients to participate in future long-term Quality of Life studies following cancer therapy.

The study is not intended to compare outcomes between groups receiving different therapies.
