Scientific titleeRAPID Electronic patient self-Reporting of Adverse-events: Patient Information and aDvice: randomised controlled trial in systemic cancer treatment
Study acronymeRAPID RCT in systemic cancer treatment
Study hypothesiseRAPID (electronic patient self-Reporting of Adverse-events: Patient Information and aDvice) is an online system for patients to self-report symptoms and side effects (known as adverse events or AE) during and after cancer treatments. eRAPID allows AE reporting from home or hospital and the patient reported data is integrated into existing Electronic Patient Records to allow for the reports to be used in routine care. In addition the system is capable of generating alerts for severe AE to the relevant clinical team and providing patient advice on managing mild AE.

The overall aims of the eRAPID system are to improve the safe delivery of cancer treatments, enhance patient care and standardise documentation of AE within the clinical datasets.
Ethics approval(s)14/YH/1066
ConditionColorectal cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, rectal cancer or uterine cancer
InterventionParticipants allocated to the intervention arm will have access to the eRAPID online system for self-reporting symptoms and side effects/adverse events (AE) during systemic cancer treatment. eRAPID allows AE reporting from home or hospital and the patient reported data is integrated into existing Electronic Patient Records to allow for the reports to be used in routine care. In addition the system is capable of generating alerts for severe AE to the relevant clinical team.
