Filter by:The aim of Patient-Centred Innovations for Persons With Multimorbidity (PACE in MM) study is to reorient the health care system from a single disease focus to a multimorbidity focus; centre on not only disease but also the patient in context; and realign the health care system from separate silos to coordinated collaborations in care. PACE in MM will propose multifaceted innovations in Chronic Disease Prevention and Management (CDPM) that will be grounded in current realities (i.e. Chronic Care Models including Self-Management Programs), that are linked to Primary Care (PC) reform efforts. The study will build on this firm foundation, will design and test promising innovations and will achieve transformation by creating structures to sustain relationships among researchers, decision-makers, practitioners, and patients. The Team will conduct inter-jurisdictional comparisons and is mainly a Quebec (QC) - Ontario (ON) collaboration with participation from 4 other provinces: British Columbia (BC); Manitoba (MB); Nova Scotia (NS); and New Brunswick (NB). The Team's objectives are: 1) to identify factors responsible for success or failure of current CDPM programs linked to the PC reform, by conducting a realist synthesis of their quantitative and qualitative evaluations; 2) to transform consenting CDPM programs identified in Objective 1, by aligning them to promising interventions on patient-centred care for multimorbidity patients, and to test these new innovations' in at least two jurisdictions and compare among jurisdictions; and 3) to foster the scaling-up of innovations informed by Objective 1 and tested/proven in Objective 2, and to conduct research on different approaches to scaling-up. This registration for Clinical Trials only pertains to Objective 2 of the study.
Since there is a limited amount of evidence on the feasibility and outcomes on the use of hand massage in patients undergoing cancer treatment, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of hand massage therapy in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, and to measure its influence on their symptoms.
The investigators aim is to explore associations between specific types of cancer therapy, age at treatment and the presence of dental abnormalities in adolescence. The study will help identify unique dental changes, malformations and or missing teeth that appear in adolescence as a secondary complication due to anticancer treatment (chemotherapy and or radiotherapy) given in childhood. Materials and methods: - Study Group: 200 patients, at least 12 years old, who were treated for Cancer at the age of 0-10 years old. - The following data will be collected: Demographic information, Medical Status, Cancer therapy, Intraoral examination, Oral soft and hard tissue condition and radiographic examination.
Chronic disease self-management is the ability of the individual, in conjunction with family, community and healthcare professionals to manage symptoms, treatments, lifestyle changes and psychosocial, cultural and spiritual consequences associated with a chronic condition. Self-management strategies have been successfully used in supportive care and survivorship in oncology. Stepping On, a multi-component program using a small-group learning environment, reduces falls by 31%. It empowers participants with knowledge about fall-risk, exercise, medications and environmental hazards to self-manage their risk of falls over 7 weeks of educational sessions, followed by a home visit. The research in this proposal will yield the adaptation of the effective group-education-based fall-prevention intervention Stepping On, tailored to cancer patients, feasible for testing in a multi-institutional trial, and ultimately scalable in the oncology setting.
The purpose of this project is to help to manage the many cancer treatment side effects through cardiovascular and resistance exercise, and education with the goal of using program outcomes to contribute to current research.
This is a population-based randomized controlled trial of 600 patients with a diagnosis of cancer in the past 2 years and registry indicating smoking at the time of diagnosis, that will inform critical questions regarding the relative efficacy of care coordination options, the reliability of Electronic Health Record (EHR) tobacco use data, and how patients will react to proactive tobacco related communications. Investigators will compare the reach and efficacy of two proactive approaches to enrolling cancer survivors in tobacco treatment (Arm 1: mailed care coordination vs. Arm 2: telephone care coordination) using a two-arm randomized design at two urban cancer centers, and will explore cancer survivor attitudes and preferences about proactive tobacco treatment.
A two-part, phase I open label, dose escalation and expansion study to assess safety, pharmacokinetics and clinical activity of NUC-3373, a nucleotide analogue, in participants with advanced solid tumours.
Researchers want to compare proton stopping ratios, used for proton beam therapy planning, calculated based on single energy CT and dual energy CT images; with the intension of improve upon the proton range determination.
This study evaluated the long-term safety of treatment with trastuzumab in participants with metastatic or locally advanced cancer with human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) overexpression who had completed a prior study with trastuzumab.
CX5461 is a new type of drug for many types of cancer, particularly cancers that cannot easily repair damage to their cells. This may help to slow down the growth of cancer or may cause cancer cells to die. CX5461 has been shown to shrink tumours in animals and has been studied in a few people and seems promising but it is not clear if it can offer better results than standard treatment.
