Expanding Access to Care Through Telemedical Support for Vital Sign Monitoring in High-risk Patients With Cancer
- Conditions
- Hypertension
- Interventions
- Device: Cellular enabled blood pressure cuffDevice: 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
Name Time Method To determine whether remote blood pressure monitoring improves adherence to recommendations for daily systolic and diastolic blood pressure monitoring compared to usual care Through 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
Name Time Method Improvement of early identification of bevacizumab-induced hypertension with usual care blood pressure monitoring Through study completion, an average of 18 months Frequency of clinician notifications of clinically significant elevations in systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure readings

Patient satisfaction with usual care blood pressure monitoring 1 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"
