Filter by:Survival rates in cancer continue to improve, with over 2 million adult cancer survivors in the United Kingdom, projected to increase to 4 million by 2030. Around 25% of these survivors require treatment for clinical levels of emotional distress. The investigators will conduct a phase I open trial to test the potential efficacy of MCT in cancer survivors.
This study does not involve randomization or treatment. Eligible patients have colorectal adenocarcinoma with no metastases eligible for curative surgery. A pre operative staging scan must have been completed within 6 weeks prior to surgery. Two x 20ml blood samples will be taken from each patient, one prior to and one during or within 24hrs after surgery. Patients are annually followed up to 3 years.
The primary objective of this phase II trial is to determine tumor overall response rate (ORR) in molecularly selected patients with measurable disease as assessed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), before versus after 16 weeks of treatment across tumor types in each arm of the study.
This study aims to determine the efficacy of daily sirolimus and celecoxib, with low dose etoposide alternating with cyclophosphamide for pediatric participants with relapsed or refractory tumors.
This observational, prospective, non-interventional study will include cancer patients who need a treatment for hyponatraemia secondary to SIADH. Patients will be prescribed treatment(s) according with the clinical practice regardless of the patient participation in the study. The purpose of this NIS is to collect additional scientific and clinical information that can help in describing the characteristics of cancer patients with hyponatraemia secondary to SIADH, the current management of hyponatremia, the therapies to keep under control serum [Na+] and the guidelines for the management of this population in Italy.
Survival rate of childhood cancers is now reaching 80%. However, early or late complications related to surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy remain high and greatly increase the risk of late mortality. Health of individuals is closely correlated to the stability of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), a key system for maintaining homeostasis in any living species. Efficient computer tools allowed the opportunity to assess the intrinsic autonomic regulation of the ANS either directly or at a later time by an analysis of the heart rate variability (HRV). These tools have become very powerful predictors of cardiovascular morbidity and neurological aging. Physical endurance training improves both maximal aerobic capacity and ANS activity.
This study is evaluating the WIC Fresh Start program, a theory-driven, web-based nutrition education lesson to promote farmers' market fruit and vegetable purchases and consumption among women enrolled in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC).
Background: DNA makes up the instruction book for people s cells. Cancer is a disease caused by DNA changes that build up and affect cell function. Researchers want to learn more about what may cause cancer by testing the DNA of people with the disease and their family members. Objective: To find DNA changes that may be inherited and may cause or influence whether a person gets cancer. To study families with clusters of cancer to find out if there is a DNA mutation specific to certain cancers. Eligibility: People 18 years of age and older who: Participated in the familial genetic part of NIH study 09-C-0079, a previous study or had family members enrolled in this study Design: Participants may have been screened in the previous study. They will give permission for researchers to use their data and their tissue or blood samples collected in the study. Participants may give blood samples. At each stage of testing, participants will meet with a genetics health care provider. The provider will explain the tests and answer questions. If researchers find a DNA change that might increase the risk for cancer or other health issues, they will confirm this result in a testing lab. This will require a blood sample. Participants personal DNA data and health information will be put in a database for research purposes.
The purpose of this study is to examine the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety and tolerability of 3 intranasal (IN) doses (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg) of Granisetron Hydrochloride Nasal Sprays (GNS) as compared to Granisetron IV Injection and Granisetron Tablet in healthy Volunteers.
Investigators are evaluating the nutritional role of IAtta supplementation along with nutritional counselling in delaying the progression of cachexia to refractory cachexia in adult cancer Indian patients. Patients will receive IAtta (100 g) or whole wheat flour (100 g) for daily consumption for 6 months. Dietary and physical activity counseling will be imparted every fortnight to patients. Nutritional, biochemical, quality of life and anthropometric estimations will be assessed at baseline, after 3 months and at 6 months of intervention for all patients. Investigators hypothesize that intake of nutrient rich bread mix IAtta (along with dietary and physical activity counselling) for six months will improve the health status and quality of life in free-living patients suffering from cancer cachexia.
