Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

SMS/MMS text messaging

Patients will be able to tailor their SMS/MMS reminders with respect to when (i.e., what time of day) they wish to receive the reminders, as well as how often the messages are sent (e.g., morning and evening).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

SMS/MMS text messaging

Intervention Type OTHER

text messaging reminders on oral chemotherapy medication adherence

usual care

This includes physician and nursing assessment and intervention for any identified AEs. Of note, there is not currently standard follow-up that patients receive from nursing or physician staff while on an OAM treatment. Patients are encouraged to call their physician's office with any questions or changes in their medical status but are not called routinely by MSK staff.
