Software Monitoring of Treatment Related Toxicities in Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma

April 15, 2026 updated by: Chunkit Fung, University of Rochester

Monitoring of Treatment Related Toxicities From Oral Targeted Agents and Immunotherapy Among Patients With Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) Using Carevive Software, a Single-Arm Phase II Feasibility Study

To determine if Carevive software, which monitors treatment-related toxicities and then generates self-care management plans for these symptoms, will be feasible to implement among patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Additionally for collection of preliminary data on treatment-related toxicities, quality of life, distress level, and drug adherence.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Use of Carevive software
Reporting and management of side effects from oral targeted therapy or immunotherapy, through Carevive software, in patients who have advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC).
Other: Carevive software
In this study, Carevive will deliver a link to subjects so that an online survey can be completed. The survey will occur weekly for the first 12 weeks of the study and will be spaced out to every other week thereafter. The questions will mostly focus on side effects from their cancer therapy, as well as a few questions about drug compliance and healthcare utilization. After completion of the survey, the subject will be given a care plan with at home self-management options for drug-related toxicities.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants Who Submitted at Least One Carevive Survey
Time Frame: From enrollment through 48 weeks
Number of participants who completed at least one Carevive survey at any time during the 48 week study period.
From enrollment through 48 weeks
Percentage of Carevive Surveys Completed Per Participant
Time Frame: From enrollment through 48 weeks
Percentage of Carevive surveys completed by each participant, calculated as the number of completed surveys divided by the number of surveys prompted by the Carevive software during the 48 week study period.
From enrollment through 48 weeks
Number of Participants Who Utilized at Least One Auto-Generated Carevive Care Plan
Time Frame: From enrollment through 48 weeks
Number of participants who accessed at least one auto-generated Carevive care plan at any time during the 48 week study period.
From enrollment through 48 weeks
Percentage of Auto Generated Carevive Care Plans Utilized Per Participant
Time Frame: From enrollment through 48 weeks
