Filter by:The objective of the proposed study is to evaluate the Couple Communication Skills Training (CCST) intervention in 250 patients with advanced cancer and their spouses/intimate partners. Couples will be randomized 1:1 to receive either the CCST or to an attention control condition (Healthy Living Information; HLI). We will evaluate CCST effects on a range of patient and partner relationship and psychological outcomes.
The overall aim is to describe disease-free survival (DFS) in early stage cancer patients and three-year overall survival (OS) outcomes in advanced stage cancer patients receiving Advanced Integrative Oncology (AIO) treatment in a prospective consecutive case series outcomes study. We will collect data and study outcomes for patients with cancer who receive care at AIMS Institute.
This is an open-label, multi-center, Phase I trial of TST001. Subjects with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors will be enrolled. The study will consist of two parts: Part A is dose escalation and dose expansion phase for mono-therapy, and Part B is dose escalation and dose expansion phase for combination therapy in gastric, gastroesophageal junction(G/GEJ) and biliary tract cancer, etc.
Millions of patients die of cancer every year. There are several methods to treat cancer, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy. Recently, hyperthermia therapy started playing a role in cancer therapy. It has shown effect in animal experiments and clinical practice. The sponsor has developed a novel device to use hyperthermia for advanced cancer. This study is to prove the safety in human patients of this device & therapy and get the first data on efficacy.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of DS-1055a in participants with relapsed or refractory locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors for which no standard treatment is available.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the standardized care pathway which provides enhanced supportive care for patients with advanced cancer. A pilot study (single arm pre-post test) will be conducted to evaluate feasibility of applying standardized care pathway to provide enhanced supportive care. A Randomized Controlled Trial will be conducted by randomly allocating participants in a 1:1 ratio to intervention arm (receiving enhanced supportive care according to the standardized care pathway) or control arm (receiving usual care: symptom monitoring only). Participants in the intervention arm will receive enhanced supportive care consisted of symptom management and coping enhancement counseling for 5 times. Data from advanced cancer patients will be collected at baseline (before start of chemotherapy), during chemotherapy (intervention arm), at the visit for cycle 5 of chemotherapy, at 6 month, and at 12 month Data from caregivers will be collected at baseline, 3 month, and 6 month. Primary outcomes will be measured as advanced cancer patients' symptom, coping and quality of life.
People with incurable cancer often have complex individual needs, however there are several common themes encountered when considering this group. As cancer progresses there are series of interactions between the tumour and the patient, producing both local and systemic effects. This altered state of illness can have multiple ill effects including weight loss, fatigue, increased symptom burden and reduction in physical function which all contribute to a reduced quality of life. These areas are often studied in isolation, giving an incomplete picture. A detailed, holistic characterisation of this group of people does not exist. A robust characterisation of people with incurable cancer will allow identification and prioritisation of future research and has the potential to inform new therapeutics and provide justification for treatments. This study aims to collect information about symptoms and quality of life, weight loss and body composition, physical activity and the body's immune response to cancer. Participants with incurable cancer will be recruited to the study from oncology and palliative medicine services in the UK. Participants will answer questionnaires about quality of life and symptoms, have bloods taken for inflammatory marker and cytokine analysis and have their body composition measured by a variety of methods.
This is an open label Phase I/IIa, First in Human trial of TST001, a recombinant humanized anti-Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2) IgG1 monoclonal antibody as monotherapy or in combination with nivolumab or standard of care. It is being tested against advanced and/or metastatic solid tumors including gastric, gastroesophageal junction, pancreatic cancers.
Phase 1 open label sequential dose escalation and cohort expansion study evaluating the safety, tolerability and preliminary antitumor activity of COM902 as monotherapy and in combination with COM701 in subjects with advanced malignancies.
This research is being done to evaluate the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant lenvatinib on surgical outcomes of patients with invasive extrathyroidal differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). This research study involves a study drug called lenvatinib
