Brief Summary

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

This is a randomized, controlled study to assess the effect of Sidekick Health's digital program on self-efficacy and medication adherence in breast cancer patients prescribed adjuvant anti-hormonal treatment. Participants will be treated with the digital program in addition to standard of care (SoC), or SoC only.

Detailed Description

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

Sidekick Health has developed a digital patient support tool delivered via mobile application (app), to support people who have been diagnosed with breast cancer with self-efficacy in managing their symptoms and with medication adherence and holistic lifestyle modification. The Sidekick platform includes a medication center, including behavioral change material and tools aimed at improving adherence.

The study will be a 2-arm, parallel-group, randomized (1:1) controlled trial to evaluate the performance of Sidekick's digital patient support program for patients with breast cancer on patients' self-efficacy and medication adherence in women undergoing adjuvant endocrine treatment. 140 participants will be included, and eligible participants will be randomized to receive the Sidekick digital support program plus standard of care, or standard of care only.

Study Groups

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

Digital intervention group

The digital patient support program empowers self-efficacy as well as positive lifestyle change by gamification, altruistic rewards, and engaging content with relevant tasks or missions to be completed. The Sidekick platform includes a medication center, which constitutes of behavioral change educational material and methods aimed at improving adherence.

Beyond this, all participants in the interventional arm will also receive standard of care as defined for the control arm.
