The AMBORA-WInform project, funded by German Cancer Aid, builds on the results of the preceding Lesmüller project and further develops the AMBORA knowledge database in a targeted manner. The project focuses on expanding the database’s content to include additional oral anticancer drugs and incorporating new subject areas, including the use of oral anticancer drugs in children and adolescents. In addition, a pilot drug information inquiry service for healthcare professionals is being established at the CCC WERA locations, which will provide quality-assured counseling on oral cancer therapies. Accompanying user surveys will evaluate the acceptance and effectiveness of these services.
The AMBORA-WInform project, funded by German Cancer Aid, aims to further develop the existing AMBORA knowledge database for oral anticancer drugs in terms of both content and structure. The database will be expanded to include additional active ingredients and, for the first time, extended to the field of pediatric oncology. At the same time, a quality-assured drug information inquiry service for medical and pharmaceutical professionals is being implemented in a pilot program at the sites of the Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC) WERA. The service is intended to support evidence-based counseling on issues related to oral cancer therapy—particularly regarding side effects, drug interactions, and specific usage considerations. The evaluation of both interventions will be conducted as part of implementation research following the RE-AIM model (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance) and will include user surveys among healthcare professionals and patients.
