About this study

The study will assess the feasibility of using the ChronolifeTM smart t-shirt for home monitoring of vital parameters in cancer patients during their treatment course. This study will bring new insights to how wearables and biometric data can be used as a part of symptom recognition in cancer patients during treatment course in the quest of increasing patients' quality of life.

Read the detailed description

Collecting biometric sensor data by wearables is an example of real-time patient-generated health data that can provide vital and detailed objective information about patients. This may have the potential to improve quality of oncological treatment and increase patients' quality of life.

Studies have shown that there may be a dissimilar perception on symptoms and side effects between patients and health care professionals. Wearables may help identifying symptoms earlier.

A new design of a wearable is a smart t-shirt. A smart t-shirt has sensors embedded in the fabric which generate measurement flows. This new tool provide more precise information without recall and reporting bias which may have the potential to lead to a better and more accurate cancer treatment.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Wearable sensorDevice

    Also called ChronolifeTM Smart t-shirt, OncoSmartShirt

    The patients will be asked to wear a smart shirt. The shirt is designed with multiple sensors and electrodes fully embedded which engender 6 different measurement flows continuously. The smart t-shirt system is washable, and patients can wash and dry this t-shirt anytime, thus the shirt can be worn repeatedly.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Experimental: Smart shirtExperimentalThe research intervention is, for all twenty patients, to wear a smart t-shirt connected to a smart phone throughout the day (preferably 8 hours pr day) for 2 weeks.
Receives: Device: Wearable sensor

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants who could wear the smart t-shirt preferably 8 hours pr. day during the three weeks study period

    To assess the feasibility of using the ChronolifeTM smart t-shirt based on the completion rate which is defined as the number of included patients using the smart t-shirt at least 12 hours pr. day during the three weeks study period.

    Measured: 2 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Technical feasibility

    To assess technical feasibility in a Danish healthcare system including data acquisition rate and data completeness.

    Measured: 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Wearable sensor in people with Cancer, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants who could wear the smart t-shirt preferably 8 hours pr. day during the three weeks study period (time frame: 2 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05235594, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Oct 2023.
