## Abstract

In this Proposal, we will develop a prototype ApricityRx – CT (clinical trial) solution as an
innovative end-to-end adverse event management solution for clinical trial participants to drive
engagement, adherence, overall trial participation and health satisfaction. This solution connects
patients and oncologists with a patient-facing and a clinic-facing application, respectively, to
facilitate remote monitoring and convenient virtual care intervention; in addition, it can
seamlessly integrate data (ePRO and EMR) for analyses to generate evidence-based or protocolbased
advisory to improve the adherence to protocol and consistency of care.
In three parallel workstreams, we will (1) develop new function features geared toward enhancing
the ease of communication and data sharing to connect study participants and study team, with
analytic insights, such as “user like me” comparison, to motivate adherence; (2) build a
ApricityRx-CT solution configured for a specific clinical trial; and (3) conduct a formative
human factor test of the prototype ApricityRx-CT solution to demonstrate its safe and effective
uses. During this prototype testing process, we will also document time and effort requirement
to generate evidence of adaptability and scalability to multiple clinical trial protocols, hence the
suitability to support a broad network (such as NCI’s cancer clinical trial network) with hundreds
of different concurrent clinical studies.
