Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
A two-arm open-label parallel-group randomized controlled trial will be conducted to compare the telemonitoring (MM e-coach) with standard MM care. This study aimed to recruit 150 patients with recently diagnosed multiple myeloma (RDMM), starting first or second line of treatment. Blinded primary outcome is adherence by pill count after start of treatment at 1-3 months. Secondary outcomes are patient reported outcomes: Groninger frailty index (GFI), quality of life (EQ-5D-5L, EORTC-QLQ-C30), shared decision making (SDM-Q-9), self-reported adherence (MARS-5), single item questions, patient experiences (PREMs), adverse events, overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS). Patient reported outcomes were developed and integrated in the e-coach MM to regularly measure digitized outcomes of MM patients from time of RDMM until 12 months post-diagnosis. Online measurements will be performed at baseline (0), 3, 6, 9 and 12 months.

- Intervention group (IG)
- description
- participants of the intervention group (IG) will get a login for the e-coach MM, and access to eight modules: medication, outpatient visit preparation, periodic assessment, messaging service, alerts, information, ad hoc complaint, personal care plan. IG participants information is collected on a web platform that automatically invites enrolled patients. The e-coach MM is available 24/7.
