ApricityCare Program for Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial examines how effectively ApricityCare helps people with cancer manage treatment side effects. The goal is to determine if early detection of side effects can prevent them from worsening, allowing patients to continue their treatment longer. Participants can report symptoms anytime via an app or phone call, and nurses will quickly address these issues. Individuals with confirmed cancer, particularly prostate, kidney, or bladder cancer, who plan to start anti-cancer therapy, may be suitable for this trial. Participants must have a smartphone and be comfortable using it for trial activities. As an unphased trial, this study offers a unique opportunity to contribute to innovative cancer care solutions.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial team or your doctor.
What prior data suggests that the ApricityCare Program is safe for cancer patients?
Research shows that the ApricityCare Program helps cancer patients manage treatment side effects. Studies have found that the program can detect early signs of side effects, preventing them from worsening. This may result in fewer patients needing to stop treatment due to these side effects.
In other studies of similar programs, up to 16% of patients experienced immune-related side effects when using certain cancer treatments. However, the ApricityCare Program manages these side effects early. It offers 24/7 support, which can help prevent the side effects from becoming severe.
While side effects can occur, the program aims to catch and treat them early, potentially reducing the likelihood of patients having to stop their cancer treatment.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the ApricityCare Program for cancer patients because it offers a unique 24/7 support system through a mobile app and phone access, allowing patients to instantly report symptoms and receive guidance. Unlike traditional care that might involve scheduled check-ups, this program ensures real-time monitoring and immediate response, potentially preventing complications before they escalate. Additionally, all interactions with ApricityCare nurses are seamlessly integrated into the patient's electronic health records, enhancing continuity of care and personalized treatment plans. This innovative approach aims to improve patient outcomes by providing timely intervention and tailored support.
What evidence suggests that the ApricityCare Program is effective for reducing therapy discontinuation due to toxicity in cancer patients?
Research shows that the ApricityCare program helps detect and manage side effects early for cancer patients. In this trial, participants will have 24/7 access to the ApricityCare service, enabling them to report symptoms at any time. Studies have found that using ApricityCare reduces the risk of stopping cancer treatment due to severe side effects. Nurses review these reports and quickly provide advice or involve doctors if necessary. Early evidence suggests that this approach prevents side effects from worsening, helping patients continue their treatment smoothly.12467

Experimental Treatment
Participants will have 24/7 access to the ApricityCare service. Participants can check in and report any symptoms or side effects through the ApricityCare app, or by phone, at any time. Participants will be asked to report your status at least weekly, even if participants are not experiencing any side effects. ApricityCare nurses will review each participants report and provide appropriate education and/or virtual management or escalate, as needed, to the study doctor or emergency service, based on guidelines. Each encounter with an ApricityCare nurse will be sent to the electronic health record (EHR) in real time for review/inclusion into your medical record. For any in-person visits participants attend, the study doctor will review the ApricityCare symptom summary with participants. For all these visits, please bring your smartphone, which carries the ApricityCare application, for this review.
