Post-Operative Gynecological Oncology App Study

NCT02932098 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

Purpose: The purpose of this study will be to test the use of a web-based mobile application (app) initiated at the time of hospital discharge to engage and monitor patients in order to efficiently deliver better outcomes. The mobile app will be used to remind patients of discharge instructions, assess adherence treatment regimens, and evaluate symptoms. Rationale: Approximately 60% of patients with ovarian cancer have advanced stage disease at diagnosis, and thus aggressive surgical procedures are often medically necessary. Recent evidence suggests that nearly one in five patients hospitalized for ovarian cancer surgery will be readmitted within 30 days of discharge. Patients readmitted within 30 days have a 50% increase in one-year mortality rates and significantly increased costs of care. In addition, many of the conditions and complications that led to readmission could potentially have been avoided with more intensive post-surgical follow-up care. Mobile health technologies can effectively and efficiently connect patients with their healthcare team and have been shown to improve treatment adherence and reduce avoidable ER visits and hospitalizations.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT02932098

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT02932098 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 22 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Tennessee, which has 58 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 1 condition, with Genital Neoplasm, Female appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 3 interventions — of which Clinical Alerts is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT02932098 reports 3 study locations spanning 2 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Tennessee, Mississippi. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
