Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This clinical trial evaluates the usefulness of a self-monitoring platform for tracking medication safety events and concerns in patients with lung, colorectal, breast, and prostate cancer. Patients receiving oral anticancer agents often encounter challenges in managing complex treatment regimens, potentially life-threatening toxicities, and drug-drug and drug-food interactions at home. To achieve the goal of medication safety, they need to become "vigilant partners" in medication and toxicity self-monitoring, including timely reporting of medication events to clinicians when their care transitions back home. In this study, patients use an online self-monitoring platform to track their experiences or concerns about taking their medications, including their experiences with symptoms. This platform may be a useful way for patients to track problems they have when taking their medications at home and may help them take better care of their health.

- Health services research (self-monitoring platform)
- description
- Patients use the self-monitoring platform to track medication-related safety events and issues at home for 6 months. Patients may receive relevant educational materials and resources via the platform or by email and/or receive follow-up contact from a nurse practitioner as needed over the 6 months. Patients are encouraged to continue using the platform for an additional 6 months after the study period, as desired.
