Device: Cellular enabled blood pressure cuff
Device: Standard of Care Cuff
Registration Number
NCT06364748
Lead Sponsor
West Michigan Cancer Center
Brief Summary

A randomized trial of remote blood pressure monitoring, compared to usual care, in patients receiving bevacizumab to determine whether remote blood pressure monitoring improves the collection of blood pressure data, identification and management of clinically significant hypertension, and patient satisfaction.

Detailed Description

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) technology has the potential to improve the early detection and management of clinically significant hypertension in cancer patients undergoing therapy with bevacizumab, by allowing immediate communication of abnormal measurements to the clinical care team. Additionally, RPM may decrease patients' and caregivers' burdens of ongoing cancer care through an improved user experience compared to usual care.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To determine whether remote blood pressure monitoring improves adherence to recommendations for daily systolic and diastolic blood pressure monitoring compared to usual careThrough study completion, an average of 12 weeks

Comparing the number of participants who complete the recommended daily blood pressure readings available for clinician assessment via review of a remote blood pressure monitoring platform versus a patient recorded blood pressure log book

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Improvement of early identification of bevacizumab-induced hypertension with usual care blood pressure monitoringThrough study completion, an average of 18 months

Frequency of clinician notifications of clinically significant elevations in systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure readings

Improvement of early identification of bevacizumab-induced hypertension with remote blood pressure monitoringThrough study completion, an average of 18 months

Patient satisfaction with usual care blood pressure monitoring1 week after enrollment, 6 weeks after enrollment and 12 weeks after enrollment

Patient questionnaire containing seven questions, using a 5-point Likert scale, where 1 equals "Strongly Disagree" and 5 equals "Strongly Agree" for six questions. One question is measured using a 5-point Likert scale, where 1 equals "Very Difficult" and five equals "Not Difficult At All"
