Supportive and palliative care kit for advanced cancer patients
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a special kit called SPARKLE-2 that helps patients with advanced cancer get supportive and palliative care during a hospital stay and as they go home. The goal is to see if it improves their quality of life and well-being. If you take part, you may receive the kit or usual care, and you might also be invited for an interview about your experience.
