Study ID: NCT04701736
Brief Summary: Determine if an oncology pictorial medication calendar will improve patient adherence to oncology supportive care medication regimens for adult patients receiving adjuvant or neo-adjuvant chemotherapy treatment for cancer.
Detailed Description: Primary Objective: In order to evaluate the impact of such an approach on adherence, a prospective, open-label, randomized controlled pilot trial (RCT) was carried out to determine if a picture-based medication calendar would improve patient adherence to antiemetic medication regimens for adult patients receiving chemotherapy treatment for solid organ tumor origins. The secondary objectives were: 1) to assess medication use and self-efficacy parameters, 2) to determine patient comfort with antiemetic regimen prescribed along with chemotherapy and 3) to determine patient satisfaction with the calendar study tool.
