Adherence to Oral Anticancer Treatment Using Electronic Monitoring System

August 8, 2012 updated by: Centre Jean Perrin

A Pilot Study of Adherence to Oral Anticancer Treatment Using Electronic Monitoring System

The purpose of this study is to describe adherence to 3 oral anticancer treatment: i) a chemotherapeutic regimen with capecitabine (alone or in association with lapatinib), ii) or sunitinib an tyrosine kinase inhibitor, iii) or an non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor. Moreover, this study is aimed at evaluating the feasibility to use a " Medication Event Monitoring System " (MEMS®) in order to assess adherence of an oral anticancer treatment delivered by dispensary pharmacy.
