A pilot study using remote monitoring technology developed by Locus Health in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Planned to be treated with a new cytotoxic chemotherapy or chemoimmunotherapy regimen for a solid tumor or malignant hematology condition for at least 4 months

ECOG performance status of 0-2

Age of 18 or older patient with any solid tumor or hematologic malignancy

English or Spanish speaker

Disqualifiers

Patients undergoing concurrent radiation since they will be seen on a daily basis by clinic care teams and are not likely to benefit from active remote patient monitoring

Patients unwilling or unable to comply with the protocol, including wearing the Apple Watch (including recharging daily) and answering queries on the Locus Health iPhone application per the protocol and study group cadence

Any condition for which in the Investigator's opinion would limit compliance with study requirements

Trial population

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Locus Health iPhone App

    Device

    In this pilot study patients are enrolled into three (3) different groups which will vary by the frequency of the queries being sent to the patients during their chemotherapy cycle. The patients will be separated into three groups of 33-34 patients each. Each group will have a different frequency of symptom questions sent to them via the Locus Health iPhone App to determine patient fatigue and the compliance impact of different query cadences. Patients will be assigned to these 3 groups sequentially since the platform could not assign patients to these three cohorts in a random manner.
