Study groups in NCT03779555
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients taking lenalidomide for multiple myeloma-Patients will be seen at baseline, 1 month (+/- 1 week), 2 months (3-5 weeks following 1-month assessment), and 3 months (3-5 weeks after 2-month follow-up)
Receives: Other: Medication Event Monitoring System

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Adherence rate as measured by the number of days in which the lenalidomide pill bottle was open

    -Participants will be given a pill diary in which they will record if they opened the pill bottle without taking a medication (e.g. to ascertain remaining supply) to adjust the adherence rate accordingly

    Measured: Through completion of study (estimated to be 3 months)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Adherence rate as measured by a modified Brief Adherence Rating Scale

    • Participants will fill out a brief survey about taking lenalidomide and an estimate of their adherence using a visual analog scale
    • Scored 0-100%, 0% = lenalidomide not taken on any days and 100% = lenalidomide taken every day

    Measured: Through completion of study (estimated to be 3 months)
