Filter by:This original study will assess the impact of the coronavirus health crisis on the management of patients undergoing medical treatment for cancer, in particularly on the modification of the hospital organization. It will also provide a record of the progress of patients who will have been treated during the epidemic period and infected by the virus. We will also assess the psychological impact of the pandemic in patients but also in caregivers
Patients of scientific interest who have provided a commercial sample to LabCorp or one of its' affiliates will have their de-identified remnant samples and/or data used for research and development. Other commercial patients will be followed up on after informed consent is obtained.
National multicentre epidemiological study to describe retrospectively and prospectively the clinical outcomes of patients with a suspected coronavirus infection (either confirmed or not) while receiving a medical treatment for the underlying cancer
This Patient Forward study intends to conduct research to investigate potential genetic factors causing cancer and eczema/atopic dermatitis. The study utilizes a patient-centered design and is led by a collaborative team including The Manton Center for Orphan Disease Research, Inspire, Citizen Genetics and Pfizer. The Manton Center for Orphan Disease Research, a research program at Boston Children's Hospital that focuses on determining the genetic causes of rare and undiagnosed disorders, will work collaboratively with Inspire (inspire.com), a patient-focused research platform and social network with millions of users, to identify and recruit patients and family members for this genetic research study. Participants for this study will be asked to provide health information through surveys, questionnaires and/or interviews, and to provide a genetic sample through a blood draw or saliva sample. The study intends to combine this information to learn more about the genetic drivers in cancer and eczema/atopic dermatitis.
The study aims to investigate the impact of pharmacist delivered interventions on hospice patients quality metric scores.
Cancers are often treated with external beam radiotherapy. Current radiotherapy treatments are performed using computed tomography (also known as CT) scans which may not always clearly identify the cancer. In some instances, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be able to better identify cancers. Therefore, efforts are currently underway to use the MRI scans to improve radiotherapy treatments or eventually even use radiotherapy equipment that only uses MRI scans to guide treatments. This new technology that will only use MRI scans to guide treatments is called the Linac-MR (linear accelerator with an MRI). The purpose of this pilot phase of the study is to test whether the Alberta linac-MR P3 system at the Cross Cancer Institute can acquire high quality MR images safely. It will allow the researchers to develop the best collection of MR images possible with this new machine, in order to allow them to visualize tumors for future patients that are treated on this machine.
The primary objective of this research study is to assess Radiation Oncology healthcare providers (i.e. faculty, residents and advanced practice providers (APPs) implementation and perception of telehealth for on treatment patients in lieu of in person on treatment visits during standard of care radiotherapy during COVID-19.
CORIA is an observational cohort study of immunosuppressed populations who test positive for COVID-19. This includes people living with HIV, cancer, acquired immunodeficiency associated with other immunosuppressive therapy, primary immunodeficiency and recipients of a solid organ transplant. Participants will have routine clinical data collected with optional baseline collection and storage of a blood sample for storage . The study will be conducted in up to 30 sites within Australia.
This study aims to determine if web-based eHealth delivery of pre-test and/or post-test counseling in cancer patients and/or those at risk for cancer can provide equal or improved cognitive and affective outcomes when compared to the standard of care delivery model.
The purpose of this study is to determine if medically tailored meals provided for either 2 weeks or 4 weeks (1 meal per day) to a Kaiser Permanente Colorado (KPCO) member after hospital discharge will improve their health. Medically tailored meals (MTM) are meals that are approved by a dietitian and shown to help people with certain health conditions.
