Connected Blood Pressure Monitoring in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies Initiating Covalent BTK Inhibitors (HEMO-CONNECT)

June 18, 2026 updated by: Mme BEAU Vanessa, Centre Hospitalier de la côte Basque
This pilot prospective study aims to evaluate adherence to home blood pressure monitoring using connected blood pressure (BP) devices in patients with malignant B-cell hemopathies initiating covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (cBTKi). The objective is to determine whether digital BP monitoring improves early detection and management of BTKi-induced hypertension over 6 months.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Scientific justification:

Oral anticancer therapies, including cBTKi such as ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, and zanubrutinib, have transformed the treatment of various lymphoid malignancies. However, BTKi are associated with a high incidence of hypertension, reported in 20-70% of cases. Early and reliable detection is essential to avoid cardiovascular toxicity and prevent therapy discontinuation. In clinic blood pressure assessments are often limited by white-coat effect and lack of reproducibility, whereas home BP monitoring improves diagnostic accuracy and patient engagement. Despite this, there is no standardized BP monitoring strategy for patients with cBTKi.

Intervention/strategy description:

All participants will receive a validated connected blood pressure monitor and standardized training on appropriate measurement procedures. BP values will be automatically transmitted to a secure platform monitored daily by an Advanced Practice Nurse (IPA), who will ensure adherence, verify data quality, and coordinate clinical interventions when necessary.

Follow-up description:

At inclusion, patients will undergo an IPA consultation, a cardio-oncology consultation, and a medication reconciliation visit. Follow-up medical visits will be scheduled at 1, 4, and 6 months. Phone calls will be made by IPA at week 1, week 2, week 3, week 6, month 3, and month 5 to assess compliance, symptoms, and concomitant therapies. Daily connection to the monitoring platform will allow continuous verification of BP measurements and early detection of hypertension.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Adherence to home BP monitoring using connected BP devices over 6 months, defined as at least 144 valid measurements (≥80% of expected measurements).
Time Frame: Month 6
Compile the number of self-measurements of blood pressure taken with connected blood pressure monitors in accordance with the recommendations (2024 European Society of Hypertension clinical practice guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension). A patient will be considered compliant if they have taken 80% of the expected measurements (i.e., 144 out of 180 measurements)
Month 6

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
- Patient satisfaction, assessed using the System Usability Scale .
Time Frame: Month 6
Patient satisfaction will be assessed using the System Usability Scale questionnaire, that patients will complete at 6 months. The score will go from 10 to 50 points, 50 points is the best easy to use system.
Month 6
Detection of hypertension, based on transmitted BP values and in-clinic measurements
Time Frame: Throughout 6-month follow-up
The detection of hypertension will be assessed by collecting blood pressure readings using connected blood pressure monitors and during follow-up visits
Throughout 6-month follow-up
Management of detected hypertension, including number of cardio-oncology consultations, initiation or modification of antihypertensive treatment, and adjustment of BTKi therapy
Time Frame: Throughout 6-month follow-up
The management of detected hypertension will be assessed based on therapeutic interventions: number of cardio-oncology consultations, initiation or adjustment of antihypertensive therapy, and adjustment of IBTK therapy
Throughout 6-month follow-up
