The overall goal of this clinical trial is to assess the feasibility of implementing MyPatientPal+ a smartphone app and provider dashboard, to collect daily patient-reported outcome data from patients and share with providers to improve the effective management of treatment-related side effects
This study focuses on testing the effectiveness of MyPatientPal+, the combination of MyPatientPal smartphone app and a newly developed provider dashboard, on patient quality of life, adherence to medications, and severity of side effects on patients who are on cancer treatment. Participants will use the MyPatientPal+ smartphone daily to complete daily patient reported outcome questions (PROs) for 8 weeks. Providers will enter information as desired and not on a set schedule.

Patients-
Participants report daily side effects and medications. Application includes a provider dashboard to track patients side effects and medications.
Behavioral: MyPatientPal+
The intervention will consist of patients using the MyPatientPal+ application to complete daily patient reported outcome questions (PROs) of: (a) patient quality of life, (b) medication use, and (c) severity of side effects, and their providers who will elect to receive a weekly summary of patient's daily PRO reports electronically (e.g., email) or through the dashboard.
Single-item daily Quality of Life (Patient)
Patients will report their daily quality of life daily using MyPatientPal smartphone app. The question: "How was your quality of life today?" has a 7-point scale ranging from 1=very poor to 7=excellent.
Time frame: Daily for 8 weeks
Adherence to medications (patient)
Patients will report any medications they are taking related to their treatment. Each report will consist of them answering a forced-choice question about whether each of their prescribed medications was taken (0=yes, 1=no). The investigators will compare the ratio of total days of adherence/total number of days per medication between the weekly and daily reporting phases. There will be no set number of medications that will be assessed given that the app will be set up to record only those medications the patient is prescribed, but on average, most patients will report on 3 medications. Examples may include Xeloda, Ibrance, Femara, Tamoxifen, Remeron, Reglan, or Compazine.
Time frame: Daily for 8 weeks
Severity of side effects (patient)
The severity of treatment-related symptoms will be examined as the primary outcome. Patients will report the severity of symptoms selected to match their current or expected side using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) CTCAE (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events). Examples include diarrhea, constipation, vomiting, fever, and fatigue. Patients will be asked to mark the severity of each symptom using a 5-point rating scale (from 0=none to 4=very severe).
Time frame: Daily for 8 weeks
Patient quality of life
Patients will report their quality of life using the FACT-G (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy), a widely accepted measure of general functioning and quality of life among cancer patients. The measure has a total score and also four subscales assessing social, functional, emotional, and physical domains.
Time frame: Weekly for 8 weeks
Start is estimated for Nov 2026; primary completion for Nov 2028, 24 months later.
Of 2,661 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Breast Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 33 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 16 and three quarters within 66. This study's planned 24 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 2,771 studies reached it within 33 months; a quarter within 15 and three quarters within 66.
