A Mobile Health (mHealth) Case Management System for Reducing Pediatric Cancer Treatment Abandonment
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating mNavigator for Burkitt Lymphoma and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 75 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Digital case management systems have the potential to increase compliance with protocol-driven treatment, reduce treatment abandonment and ultimately help to close the discrepancy in pediatric cancer outcomes between Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs) and high-income countries (HICs). The investigators aim to adapt an open-source digital case management platform to incorporate standardized pediatric oncology protocols. Effectiveness will be evaluated by provider protocol compliance (primary outcome) and patient treatment abandonment rates using the digital case management system as compared to historic controls. The study population will include patients diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma, Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or retinoblastoma at Bugando Medical Centre in Tanzania.
