In brief
This clinical trial studies if enhanced outpatient symptom management with telemedicine and remote monitoring can help reduce acute care visit due to chemotherapy-related adverse events. Receiving telemedicine and remote monitoring may help patients have better outcomes (such as fewer avoidable emergency room visits and hospitalizations, better quality of life, fewer symptoms, and fewer treatment delays) than patients who receive usual care.

Who can join
Age: 18 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.
You may qualify if…
- Adults (≥ 18 years)
- English- and Spanish-fluent participants with thoracic and/or gastrointestinal cancers who are scheduled to initiate or continue outpatient chemotherapy at either MDACC (Texas Medical Center campus and any Houston-area location) or MDACC oncology clinic at Lyndon B Johnson (LBJ) hospital
- Their adult (≥18 years) patient-identified or self-identified primary caregivers (MDACC only)
- Participants on combination chemotherapy and immunotherapy or combination chemotherapy and biologic will also be eligible for inclusion.
- Participants may participate if they do not have a caregiver, or if their caregiver declines participation; however, caregivers of MDACC participants may participate only if the participant consents.
You may not qualify if…
- Participants who are receiving investigational new drug treatments or concurrently enrolled in a phase 1 clinical trial will be excluded due to the associated structured reporting and regulatory requirements.
- Participants with a requirement for inpatient infusion (i.e. CAR-T cell therapy), living in institutional settings (i.e. prison, nursing homes), with a history of dementia, physical disability or neurological deficits that prohibit ability to report symptom burden will also be excluded.
