Start Date

Dec 31, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Neoplasm

Summary

The hospital pharmacist plays a vital role at the time of the patient's first prescription in a healthcare facility, to inform the patient about his or her new therapy and create a link between the hospital and the patient's home pharmacy, so that the patient can continue to receive care at home. It is also essential that the hospital pharmacy and the patient's local pharmacy work together within a reasonable timeframe. This will help improve patient care and treatment follow-up, detect any undesirable effects and optimize their management.. The aim of this prospective interventional study is to measure the benefits of pharmaceutical monitoring in healthcare institutions at the initiation of oral therapy on patient compliance, side-effect management and adherence, in comparison with patients without this monitoring. The primary endpoint is compliance with the Girerd questionnaire.

Interventions

PROCEDUREPharmaceutical consultation

The pharmaceutical interview is a structured way of carrying out an optimized medication review with the patient. This interview takes place at the time of the first prescription of oral anti-cancer treatment.

PROCEDUREPharmaceutical consultation and follow-up

After the first prescription and at the treatment renewal date (+/- 2 days), the hospital pharmacist will contact the dispensing pharmacist to inform him/her of the patient's treatment, and then as part of the follow-up to detect any problems with treatment compliance (non-renewal of treatment by the patient, lack of follow-up, complaints of adverse effects by the patient). These events will be recorded in the observation book.
