About this study
Official title: Remote Therapeutic Monitoring: Pilot Implementation-Effectiveness Study
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about exercise and physical activity in individuals who are undergoing cancer treatment. The clinical trial is embedded in a pilot implementation feasibility study. The main implementation questions it aims to answer are to understand the implementation feasibility, acceptability and appropriateness of remote monitoring from providers and participants. The main clinical trial outcomes are to explore the effectiveness of remote therapeutic monitoring to achieve individual goal attainment related to exercise defined as number of daily steps, weekly exercise minutes, strength sessions or decreased physical activity variability.
During the course of the study: Participants will use activity trackers and a mobile phone application to monitor their exercise participation over 3 months.
Read the detailed description
The study aims to evaluate the implementation and clinical effectiveness of Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) in cancer rehabilitation. RTM is a reimbursable tool that enables clinicians (physical therapists, occupational therapists, and physicians) to remotely monitor adherence to exercise and physical activity (PA), addressing barriers such as limited time and energy for in-person appointments during cancer treatment. We will implement three months of RTM in 20 individuals undergoing or within six months of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or cell therapy. We will evaluate the following aims:
- Implementation Outcomes: Assess RTM's feasibility, acceptability, appropriateness, sustainability, and satisfaction from the perspectives of therapists, physicians, and patients using validated questionnaires and interviews.
2: Clinical Trial Outcomes: Measure RTM's effectiveness in achieving patient-centered goals, such as increasing or maintaining exercise, PA, strength training, or energy conservation, and its impact on quality of life using PROMIS-29+2.
The findings will inform future large-scale research and enhance cancer rehabilitation outcomes by improving accessibility and personalized care through RTM integration.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Datos Health App in people with Cancer, run by Shirley Ryan AbilityLab at 1 site in United States.
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 6 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Apr 2026. 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 United States. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
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?
Physical Activity Metric 1 (time frame: Daily, through study completion, average 3 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT07007039, which also lists 9 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 20 Apr 2026.
