The research question
What practical difficulties do patients encounter while following an oral anticancer treatment plan?
Proposed design
Prospective medication and symptom diary with brief interviews, coordinated with an oncology care or study team.
Illustrative design: 8- to 12-week follow-up; setup and recruitment are scoped separately.
Data to collect
- Reported prescribed schedule and dose events
- Missed doses and reasons
- Refill, storage and administration difficulties
- Reported symptoms and treatment changes
Planned outputs
- Reported adherence and interruption patterns
- Patient-described medication problems
- Support-needs and data-completeness report
What we confirm with you
We agree the population, sample size, country, collection tools, analysis plan and budget. Collection starts after the required consent, ethics or other permissions and a signed scope are in place.
- Keep treatment decisions with the oncology team
- Confirm prescribed regimens and clinical safety procedures
- Distinguish reported use, prescribing and dispensing data
Clinical records, laboratory results, photographs and device integrations are included only when access, collection quality and permitted use have been verified. Self-reported findings are identified as such.
