Brief Summary:
This clinical trial compares the use of the connected customized treatment platform (CONCURxP), consisting of using a medication monitoring device called WiseBag along with text message reminders for missed or extra medication events, to enhanced usual care (EUC), where patients only use the WiseBag, to monitor medication adherence in patients with metastatic breast cancer who are taking a CKD4/6 inhibitor. To ensure CDK4/6 inhibitors achieve their full clinical benefit, patients need to take them as prescribed, following a complex treatment schedule. Forgetfulness was the most common reason reported for medication non adherence. Using the WiseBag along with CONCURxP or enhanced usual care may improve medication adherence in patients with metastatic breast cancer who are taking a CKD4/6 inhibitor.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Adherence using electronic monitoring [ Time Frame: At 12 months after initiation of medication ]
    For each arm, mean and standard deviation (SD) adherence rates for all patients will be calculated. A two-sample t-test will be used to compare CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) adherence between the two arms at 12 months.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Adherence using self-report [ Time Frame: At 3, 6, and 12 months ]
    Using the12-item Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Medication Adherence Scale compare mean score and changes in mean scores (from baseline) at each time point between the arms using two-sample t-tests.

  2. CDK4/6i persistence [ Time Frame: At 12 months after initiation of medication ]
    Defined as duration from CDK4/6i initiation to discontinuation of medication against medical advice, measured as the number of days from initiation until the first day of a gap that is 30 days or longer. For each arm, mean days of persistence, and the proportion of patients who discontinue the medication earlier than 12-month will be calculated and compared between the two arms using the two-sample t-test and chi-squared test, respectively.

  3. Symptom burden [ Time Frame: At baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months ]
    Using the 16-item National-Comprehensive Cancer Network Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Breast Cancer Symptom index compare mean score and changes in mean scores (from baseline) at each time point between the arms using two-sample t-tests.

  4. Quality of life [ Time Frame: At baseline and 12 months ]
    Using the PROMIS-10- version (v)1.2-Global Health compare mean score and changes in mean scores (from baseline) at each time point between the arms using two-sample t-tests.

  5. Patient-provider communication [ Time Frame: At baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months ]
    Using the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems compare mean score and changes in mean scores (from baseline) at each time point between the arms using two-sample t-tests.

  6. Self-efficacy for managing symptoms [ Time Frame: At baseline, 3, 6, and12 months ]
    Using PROMIS Item Bank v1.0 - Self-Efficacy for Managing Symptoms compare mean score and changes in mean scores (from baseline) at each time point between the arms using two-sample t-tests.

  7. Financial worry [ Time Frame: At baseline, 3, 6, and12 months ]
    Using the Comprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity compare mean score and changes in mean scores (from baseline) at each time point between the arms using two-sample t-tests.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Longitudinal changes of patient-reported outcomes [ Time Frame: At baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months ]
    Generalized estimating equation will be used to assess the longitudinal change over time.

  2. Healthcare utilization [ Time Frame: At baseline, 3, 6, and12 months ]
    The difference of healthcare utilization between two arms will first be evaluated using the two sample t test for the continuous variables (e.g., length of stay or number of emergency department visits), and then be modeled through the regressions to allow for the control of other covariates if needed.

  3. Progression-free survival [ Time Frame: At 3 and 12 months ]
    Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank testing will be used to visualize and compare progression free survival between the connected customized treatment platform (CONCURxP) patient group and enhanced usual care group, and Cox proportional hazards model will be fit to evaluate the impact of potential moderators on the associations of progression-free survival with arms.

  4. Overall survival [ Time Frame: At 3 and 12 months ]
    Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank testing will be used to visualize and compare overall survival between the CONCURxP patient group and enhanced usual care group, and Cox proportional hazards model will be fit to evaluate the impact of potential moderators on the associations of overall survival with arms.

  5. CONCURxP arm patients and their provider experience [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months ]
    We will measure portal usability using patient-reported survey and will report mean and SD. For qualitative interviews, we will use conventional content analysis methods.

  6. Characteristics of National Cancer Institute Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) site patient population and the enrollees in EAQ221CD. [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months ]
    Cox proportional hazards model will be fit to evaluate the impact of potential moderators (e.g., sociodemographic, insurance, cancer variables, endocrine therapy adherence, health literacy, health belief, medical history and NCORP practice characteristics.
