Welcome to the HemeOncBuddy app!

General Information

  • Research in Hematology and Oncology has seen a remarkable growth with a significant amount of treatment advancements in recent years. Keeping up with recent literature has become more challenging. In the HemeOncBuddy app you can find the most important and practice-changing clinical trials in Hematology and Oncology.

  • The goal of this product is to make clinical trial information easily available for quick reference. The trial summaries are organized in a unique simplified way to provide all the pertinent information on one page. Every trial summary includes background information with inclusion criteria for the population of interest. The exclusion criteria are included if the editor deems them to be important or different from other trials. Every unique summary has information on the primary endpoints, median follow up, and the outcomes on primary endpoints. Secondary endpoints, subgroup analysis and adverse events (AE) were included if found to be important or interesting. All results are presented in the same order of experimental arms: e.g., mPFS: 10.2 mo. vs 12.7 mo. with HR 0.63, 95% CI 0.44-0.82, P=.0002 means that mPFS for arm A was 10.2 months and mPFS for arm B was 12.7 months. In other words, information on the experimental arm is usually reported first and on the control arm, usually reported second or last. The database is updated frequently. New articles will automatically appear in the database of the app.

  • To update the database just scroll the trials list down on the main page to see refreshing sign as shown below.
