Clinical Trial of Telenursing for Monitoring Supportive Care Needs in Patients With Lung Cancer and Melanoma Candidates for the First Prescription of Targeted Therapies
Sponsor: Regina Elena Cancer Institute
Summary
Single-center, randomized clinical trial (RCT) with low intervention level (Telenursing), for the monitoring of patients affected by lung cancer and melanoma who are candidates for first prescription with Targeted Therapies. The study population will consist of patients suffering from lung cancer and melanoma. The objective of the study will be to evaluate the effectiveness of a Telenursing intervention, comparing the mean score of the total SCNs scale (Supportive Care Needs) after one month of treatment in the treatment arm and in the control arm. Enrolled patients will then be randomized into two treatment arms: * Arm 1 (Control Group): current clinical practice * Arm 2 (Experimental group): Telenursing intervention.
