Brief Summary

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

mACMA is a pilot study that is developed for breast cancer survivors of the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona. The objective of this study is to evaluate the progress in quality of life through the introduction of a mobile phone App that allows for symptom tracking, physical activity tracking and a calendar of patient-oriented events organized by patient organizations. This study is a two-arm randomized clinical trial.

This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No 875351.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

This study is designed as a prospective, longitudinal, randomized 1:1 trial, with two arms: a control group and an intervention group. The intervention will be 12 months long for each participant. There will be a total of 150 participants. Half (75) will comprise the control group and half (75 more) the intervention group. Only the intervention group will have access to the Xemio mobile app.

Study Groups

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

mHealth intervention

Installation of the mHealth application Xemio in the participant's smartphones. Voluntary use of the application for 12 months. Outcome measures collected every 3 months.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Xemio mobile application

Intervention Type OTHER

The study consists in a mHealth intervention provided through the Xemio mobile application for breast cancer survivors. This application is installed in the personal smartphones of the participants after they are randomized in the mHealth intervention group. The Xemio app components are symptom tracking, up-to-date calendar of events organized by patient's organizations, virtual talks with experts, articles regarding new information of the disease, physical activity tracking, and evidence-based information regarding symptoms, non-pharmacological treatments for side effects, and information about common drugs to treat breast cancer. The participants can freely use the Xemio mobile application for a total of 12 months.

The control group does not have access to the Xemio application for the duration of the study but they are offered access to it at the completion of the intervention. The participants of both arms continued to receive the usual care from their oncology teams.

Control

No application installed. Outcome measures collected every 3 months.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
