E18208 Background: Health Information Technology (HIT) is increasingly integrated in clinical cancer care. Simultaneous routine assessment of patient reported outcomes (PROs) reliably improve symptom management, patient-provider communication and ultimately survival. Methods: his pilot study is a single center experience with the development and validation of an I-PRO tool (AMOCT). After obtaining informed consent, outpatients, using oral anticancer treatment, recorded their medication intake and 17 PRO measures (PROM) using this I-PRO tool. The device allowed real time data collection via a central platform. The registered data were processed by an algorithm, which stratifies the data into different grades according to international standards of care (CTCAE v4.0). In response to registration of data, patients received either automated symptom management suggestions or were referred to their caregivers. Patient clinical and demographic information is collected from medical records and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: 63 Patients were included, 51% male, mean age 61.5 (range 28-83). 41% Of patients used capecitabine, 24% regorafenib, 16% TAS 102, 5% pazopanib and 5% sunitinib. Of the 1873 PROM-scores, 308 scores needed nurses’ attention, ultimately leading to dose reductions in 7 patients (12%). Most often due to weight loss, skin toxicity and asthenia. 41 Patients stopped registration: 51% because treatment ended, 27 % died, 10% dropped out, 5% progressed, 5% were lost to follow up and 2% never started. This tool was well adopted and demonstrated treatment compliance in > 85% patients. Conclusions: This study confirms the feasibility of the program, in an outpatient setting. This I-PRO tool provides a means to register compliance and toxicity of treatment. The compliance to the I-PRO tool will be confirmed, with further development of this program in a multicenter, randomized design. Evaluation of quality of life, PROM’s and further exploration of the relationship between optimal pharmacovigilance and improvement of patient’s outcome will ensue.
