Summary

New oral anticancer treatments have improved survival across cancer types but introduced challenges in medication adherence and symptom management. The SMART pilot trial will test a new mobile health intervention that facilitates remote adherence and symptom monitoring, patient-provider communication outside of clinic visits regarding the use of oral anticancer treatments, and support for financial and social needs, as well as health literacy support, for 30 English- and Spanish-speaking patients. This study will increase understanding of barriers and facilitators to the use of the proposed mHealth intervention.
