Construction and Feasibility Study of a Home-Based Intelligent Symptom Management Program for Lung Cancer Patients Receiving Combined Drug Therapy Based on Symptom Journey Profiling
2 de junio de 2026 actualizado por: Feifei Huang
The goal of this clinical trial is to develop and evaluate a home-based intelligent symptom management program based on symptom journey profiles for patients with lung cancer receiving combination drug therapy. The program will be delivered through the "Zhihu Feifang" WeChat mini-program and is designed to help patients monitor symptoms, receive personalized symptom management recommendations, and obtain timely support during treatment intervals at home.
The study will assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of this intelligent symptom management program.
The main research questions are as follows: (1) Is the intelligent symptom management program feasible and acceptable for patients with lung cancer receiving combination drug therapy? (2) Compared with usual care, can the program reduce symptom burden and improve symptom self-management ability? (3) Can the program improve quality of life and help patients identify and manage symptoms more promptly during treatment intervals? Researchers will compare the intelligent symptom management program with usual care to evaluate its preliminary effectiveness. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the usual care group.
Participants in the intervention group will: (1) Receive usual care plus the "Zhihu Feifang" WeChat mini-program intervention; (2) Use the mini-program during four consecutive treatment intervals, lasting approximately 4 months; (3) Complete regular symptom assessments through the mini-program; (4) Receive personalized symptom management education, coping strategies, and risk alerts based on their symptom severity and symptom changes; (5) Receive nurse monitoring and follow-up support when needed; (6) Complete questionnaires at baseline and at follow-up time points during the study; (7) Some participants may also take part in an interview after the intervention to share their experience and suggestions.
Participants in the usual care group will receive routine follow-up care, including health education, telephone follow-up, and medical visit guidance.

The intervention group will receive routine care plus the home-based intelligent symptom management program.
Participants will: ① complete regular symptom assessments through the mini-program; ② receive individualized symptom journey profiles based on symptom severity, symptom changes, and supportive care needs; ③ receive personalized health education, symptom management strategies, coping recommendations, and risk alerts; ④ receive nurse monitoring through the healthcare provider interface; ⑤ receive timely follow-up support when symptoms worsen or when additional guidance is needed; and ⑥ some participants may take part in interviews after the intervention to share their experience, satisfaction, and suggestions.

① Health education: prior to treatment, research nurses will provide patients with a "Home Health Education Manual for Patients with Lung Cancer," covering management of common adverse reactions, medication safety, dietary guidance, and exercise recommendations; ② Telephone follow-up: routine follow-up phone calls will be conducted according to departmental practice to assess symptom changes, psychological status, and medication adherence, while providing verbal guidance and health education; ③ Medical visit guidance: if patients report worsening symptoms or new discomfort, nurses will provide guidance or recommend timely outpatient review or hospitalization assessment in the oncology department.

¿Qué mide el estudio?
Medidas de resultado primarias
Medida de resultado |
Medida Descripción |
Periodo de tiempo |
|---|---|---|
|
Change in symptom burden measured by the Symptom Assessment Scale for Intervals of Combination Therapy in Patients with Lung Cancer
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline, at the end of Cycle 2 (each cycle is 21 days), and at the end of Cycle 4 (each cycle is 21 days).
|
Symptom burden will be assessed using the Symptom Assessment Scale for Intervals of Combination Therapy in Patients with Lung Cancer.
The scale assesses symptom severity over the previous 24 hours and includes seven symptom systems: respiratory and circulatory symptoms, gastrointestinal symptoms, neuromuscular symptoms, dermatological symptoms, sleep-related symptoms, general somatic symptoms, and psychological symptoms.
The scale consists of 60 symptom items, each rated on an 11-point numeric rating scale ranging from 0 (no symptom) to 10 (most severe symptom).
Total scores range from 0 to 600, with higher scores indicating greater symptom burden and worse symptom severity.
