Digital Support for Enhancing the Quality of Life of Patients With Multiple Myeloma: An Observational, Randomized, Prospective Study (DigiMyQoL)

The objective of this prospective study is to investigate the quality of life of patients with multiple myeloma and the effectiveness of support provided through a personalized web-based platform.

Specifically, the study will compare Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) and the associated improvement in side effects and quality of life achieved through appropriate personalized educational and supportive content.

  • Masking: Double

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Arm 1 - Experimental

Participants in this group utilize the personalized digital platform to record adverse events as Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs). Additionally, they receive short textual personalized educational and supportive material online.

Their standard clinical treatment and monitoring continue unaffected.

Personalized educational and supportive material, based on each patients' adverse events reported as PROs, delivered via the online platform.
No Intervention: Arm 2 - Control

Participants in this group utilize the personalized digital platform to record adverse events as Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs). They only receive an acknowledgement of their submission.

Their standard clinical treatment and monitoring continue unaffected.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs)
Time Frame: From enrollment, until study completion, average 1 year.

Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) consisting of treatment related side-effects that patients themselves report on the online platform. The reported side-effects will be evaluated throughout the entire duration of the study.

17 side-effects will be captured (each measured as either present or absent) throughout the study:

  1. Ocular toxicity
  2. Fatigue
  3. Diarrhea
  4. Constipation
  5. Neuropathy
  6. Dermatological toxicity
  7. Dyspnoea
  8. Insomnia
  9. Nausea
  10. Vomiting
  11. Dry mouth
  12. Nail problems
  13. Memory problems
  14. Hypertension
  15. Lower extremity oedema
  16. Sexual dysfunction
  17. Bone pain

Only data from patients who report at least 2 times will be eligible for outcome analysis.

The following calculation and evaluation will be conducted:

For each of the two Arms, the percentage of patients who at the final side-effect data collection reported fewer than 50% of the specific side-effects they had reported at previous side-effect data collection timepoints.

From enrollment, until study completion, average 1 year.

Secondary Outcome Measures

At 12 months from each patient's enrollment
Overall Survival
Time Frame: At 12 months from each patient's enrollment
