Filter by:The purpose of this phase two parallel-group randomized controlled trial is to assess the efficacy of open dialogue about CAM integrated in conventional oncology care. The investigators hypothesize that patients in the intervention group participating in a scheduled open dialogue with a nurse specialist about CAM will experience better physical and mental health compared to patients in the control group receiving standard care alone.
The purpose of the Team Based Advance Care Planning CAREPLAN program is to understand if a trained lay navigator who engages with patients with advanced stages of cancer can help patients in advance care planning, improve patient activation, satisfaction, quality of life, and the quality of end of life cancer care while also ensuring goal concordant cancer care at the end of life.
Epidemiological, observational, non-interventional, multicentric study on patients diagnosed with cancer who develop a venous or arterial thromboembolic episode, symptomatic or incidental, within a month prior to cancer diagnosis or at anytime after such diagnosis
iSpecimen aims to create a clinical partner network of hospitals, laboratories, academic institutions, and other healthcare organizations ("institutions") capable of providing researchers and educators ("researchers") with annotated biospecimens for use in biomarker discovery and validation; diagnostic test and instrumentation development and validation; therapeutics development; other medical research including the impact that various specimen collection and handling methods and conditions have on research results; and in education such as researcher or physician training (collectively "research").
Mental disorders have been shown to be associated with a number of general medical conditions (also referred to as somatic or physical conditions). The investigators aim to undertake a comprehensive study of comorbidity among those with treated mental disorders, by using high-quality Danish registers to provide age- and sex-specific pairwise estimates between the ten groups of mental disorders and nine groups of general medical conditions. The investigators will examine the association between all 90 possible pairs of prior mental disorders and later GMC categories using the Danish national registers. Depending on whether individuals are diagnosed with a specific mental disorder, the investigators will estimate the risk of receiving a later diagnosis within a specific GMC category, between the start of follow-up (January 1, 2000) or at the earliest age at which a person might develop the mental disorder, whichever comes later. Follow-up will be terminated at onset of the GMC, death, emigration from Denmark, or December 31, 2016, whichever came first. Additionally for dyslipidemia, follow-up will be ended if a diagnosis of ischemic heart disease was received. A "wash-out" period will be employed in the five years before follow-up started (1995-1999), to identify and exclude prevalent cases from the analysis. Individuals with the GMC of interest before the observation period will be considered prevalent cases and excluded from the analyses (i.e. prevalent cases were "washed-out"). When estimating the risk of a specific GMC, the investigators will consider all individuals to be exposed or unexposed to the each mental disorder depending on whether a diagnosis is received before the end of follow-up. Persons will be considered unexposed to a mental disorder until the date of the first diagnosis, and exposed thereafter.
I238A: The purpose of this study is to find out what effects being treated with durvalumab has on cancer. The researchers doing this study also want to evaluate if prednisone (a type of steroid), when given together with durvalumab, can reduce any side effects. I238B: The purpose of this study is to allow patients previously enrolled on a completed CCTG trial to continue treatment with durvalumab (+/- tremelimumab)
The purpose of this study is to develop a clinical dataset of sarcoidosis patients with a diagnosis of cancer who are categorized by date of birth, sex, race/ethnicity, clinical information, laboratory and imaging information, time of sarcoidosis onset, cancer type and treatment, time of cancer diagnosis, stage and grade.
The purpose of this extension study is to provide venetoclax and obtain long-term safety data for subjects who continue to tolerate and derive benefit from receiving venetoclax in ongoing studies.
Study Investigators are conducting this study to learn how to best implement a new iPad program in clinical practice.
Bevacizumab is an anti-angiogenic treatment used to treat various solid cancers. Previous studies have shown that this treatment may have adverse effects like hypertension and proteinuria. This is an exploratory study aiming to better understand the relationship between various biomarkers and blood pressure changes and proteinuria measured for 4 to 6 weeks after the first infusion of anti-VEGF therapy with bevacizumab.
