Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This research study is looking at the role of a supportive care mobile app in improving symptoms, coping skills, and quality of life in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This research study is a Feasibility Study, which is the first-time investigators are examining this supportive care mobile app intervention. The goal of this research study is to refine and examine the feasibility and benefits of a supportive care mobile app to improve symptoms, coping skills, and quality of life in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Many people diagnosed with lung cancer experience challenging symptoms and increased stress. To help address these concerns, this study is exploring how a mobile application (app) intervention, designed specifically for people with lung cancer, can expand the availability of much needed supportive care services.

The research study procedures include:

* A supportive care mobile app consisting of six intervention modules that focus on components of wellbeing, such as physical, social, functional, and emotional wellbeing
* Questionnaires asking about demographic information (e.g., gender, ethnicity, income) and participants' experience with cancer (e.g., quality of life, symptoms)
* Data collection from participants medical records

After completing a baseline study questionnaire, participants will be randomized into two (2) study groups:

* Usual Care Group: Participants will receive standard oncology care and attend their regular clinic visits. Study staff will monitor participant use of supportive care services.
* Intervention Group: Participants will be provided with a study-issued tablet computer to access the mobile app and receive tutorial and instructions for how to use the app.

Participants will be in this research study for 12-14 weeks.

It is expected that about 120 people will take part in this research study.

The sponsors of this study are the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) and AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals. NCCN is a non-profit alliance of leading cancer centers across the United States, and AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals is a global bio-pharmaceutical company. These two sponsors are together providing funding and oversight for the conduct of this research study.

Study Groups

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

Supportive Care Mobile Application

Complete study questionnaires at two time points:

* upon enrollment at baseline prior to randomization
* approximately 12 weeks after the baseline assessment time point.

Participants will be provided with a study-issued tablet computer to access mobile app and receive a comprehensive tutorial and detailed instructions on how to use the app.

Participants will have approximately 10 weeks to complete the intervention modules at self initiated pace. The app will provide prompts as reminders to complete the modules.

Participants will receive standard oncology care. Study staff will monitor participant use of supportive care services, such as social work, psychology, psychiatry, and palliative care.
