Key information

About this study

Local intervention trial which will evaluate the potential of using real-world patient measurements collected by the REBECCA system for improving the patient-reported quality-of-life, through just-in-time support consultations, during the first 12 months after radiology and/or chemotherapy treatment. The effects of the REBECCA-assisted treatment on QoL, in relation to baseline, will be compared against standard

The use of REBECCA-collected patient information by BCP-supervising health professionals (based on the continuous REBECCA real-world measurements), aims to estimate to which extent it:

  • Improves the quality of the provided treatment at 12 months, resulting in an improved QoL, in comparison with standard treatment practice

It will also evaluate that:

  • The observed improvements will persist long-term, at least till the point of the 18-month follow-up evaluation
  • The observed QoL improvements will be associated with REBECCA's Functional Life Index improvements, as evaluated through the continuous REBECCA real world measurements. This will act as an assessment of the RWD use for safer and more effective post-treatment management of interventions with first line chemo/radiotherapies in breast cancer.
  • The observed QoL improvements will be associated with REBECCA's PROM Index improvements, as evaluated through the continuous REBECCA real world measurements.

Inclusion criteria

  • Before patient registration, written informed consent must be given according to national and local regulations.
  • Participants have had histologically proven stage I-III breast cancer undergoing endocrine treatment (with or without prior chemotherapy) no more than 12 months prior to randomization.
  • Be between 18 and 75 years of age.
  • Have increased life expectancy beyond the initial 3 months post-treatment initiation.
  • Have the ability to understand protocol, participate in testing and willingness to sign a written informed consent.
  • Absence of any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule.

Exclusion criteria

  • Patients that are not willing to sign an informed consent form

Treatment and study plan

REBECCA system (smartwatch + mobile app use)

Device

Patients will be trained in the use of the REBECCA system, which will provide in-depth information about their lifestyle (including physical activity levels, dietary habits, sleep quality and social mobility), as well as of their online behaviour (with outcome indicators of anxiety, PTSD and depression development) and self- or companion-reported measures of emotional state and quality of life. Based on the additional information, exploiting the enhanced monitoring capabilities of the REBECCA system, the supervising clinicians will be given the opportunity to continuously evaluate the progress of the patients, allowing them to schedule up to 3 phone-based consultation sessions in the first 12 months of treatment
