Study Summary

This trial will test whether "virtual" medical visits using telecommunications technologies are as effective as in-person visits for cancer patients receiving supportive care.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with any type of solid tumor who've had an initial in-person visit at Rockefeller Outpatient Pavilion and are set up for follow-up visits. They must be enrolled on the MyMSK portal and live in New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut. Non-English speakers needing an interpreter can't join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two types of follow-up care for cancer patients: traditional in-person clinic visits versus telemedicine visits conducted from home using online communication tools to see if they're equally effective.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves supportive care services rather than medication, there aren't typical drug side effects. However, technical issues or a lack of personal interaction may affect patient satisfaction.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Home Telemedicine follow-upExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Group II: In-person follow-upActive Control1 Intervention
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, patients originally randomized to the in-person group received telemedicine visits. Thus, the researchers will expand our sample for these interviews to include patients who have completed at least 2 telemedicine follow-up visits whether they were originally randomized to the in-person group or the home telemedicine group.
