Study of PRO in Patients with Advanced Pancreatic or Biliary Tract Cancer (BetterEveryDay)
Sponsor: Inna Chen, MD
Summary
Pancreatic and biliary tract cancer are ones of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths. During the course of illness, these patients often experience marked physical suffering, psychological distress and frequent unplanned resource-demanding hospitalized care. Patients with pancreatic and lung cancer have highest rates of unplanned hospitalizations. Investigator initiated prospective "Study of Supportive Application with Integrated Patient-Reported Outcomes in Patients with Advanced Pancreatic or Biliary Tract Cancer (BetterEveryDay)" is to be initiated based on the great need for optimizing treatment care, reducing hospitalizations and improving outcomes.

Interventions
Supportive application with integrated weekly PRO
Patients will fill in a web-based application PRO-CTCAE with integrated preparation questionnaire every week. If their weekly reported symptoms exceed a predefined threshold of severity, this results in a notification on the staff application interface and a nurse will contact a patient for verification of symptoms. Nurse will review patient recent treatment and PRO reports and advise patient according to the local practice for symptom management and reinforce reporting. Nurse will consult with or refers to (if possible) treating physician if patient will require medical intervention and/or physician assistance.
