The objective of this project is to identify effective strategies to help patients with lung cancer manage side effects and achieve optimal adherence to oral targeted therapies. To achieve this objective, we will evaluate the effect of a novel, bidirectional conversational agent, compared to usual care, on adherence to oral targeted therapies using a two-arm randomized controlled trial, and explore how multilevel factors impact the acceptability and effectiveness of this strategy by collecting qualitative and quantitative data from clinicians and patients.

Adherence
Defined as number of patients who have 95% or greater adherent days across the study period based on their prescribed dose. Adherence data will be assessed via MEMS caps, which capture a date and time stamp each time the pill bottle is opened.
12 weeks after study initiation or at therapy discontinuation, whichever is shorter
Persistence
12 weeks after study initiation or at therapy discontinuation, whichever is shorter
Participants in the intervention arm will be tracked and able to engage with the intervention (conversational agent) on their mobile telephone for 12 weeks.
Patients in the control arm will receive usual care, which includes clinician-driven education on medication management and self-monitoring of symptoms.
Via text messages, the bidirectional, conversation agent provides specific dosing instructions and motivational reminders to promote oral targeted therapy adherence and symptom management. Patients can report symptoms at any time via text message and are also prompted to report symptoms and medication adherence at periodic intervals. Reported symptoms are monitored and managed algorithmically according severity. High-grade symptoms are triaged directly to the patients' cancer care team. Patients in the intervention arm will use MEMS caps to enable capture of the primary outcome and asked to complete longitudinal surveys.

An Analysis of Medication Adherence Using Televideo and Telephonic Monitoring and Utilization of an Education Protocol
Patients in the control arm will receive usual care, which includes receiving information about dosing and self-administration of oral therapy, and anticipatory guidance for patients regarding management of side effects. Patients in the control arm will use MEMS caps to enable capture of the primary outcome and asked to complete longitudinal surveys.
