The "Genomic medicine Risk Assessment Care for Everyone" (GRACE)" intervention project will develop a scalable end-to-end solution for risk assessment and management that meets the needs of those populations living in low resource settings. The long-term goal is to increase access to and uptake of risk-informed evidence-based guidelines that will improve population health through better patient outcomes, higher quality of life, and decreased costs. The three primary aims are: Aim 1: Develop a scalable implementation framework that guides each unique clinical setting, including low resource settings, in deploying GRACE effectively for the needs of their patients and providers. Aim 2: Facilitate the potential for genomic medicine to promote population health by broadening access to and uptake of genomic risk assessment by the general population through a pragmatic implementation-effectiveness trial of GRACE. Aim 3: Reduce health disparities related to genomic medicine by allowing individual adaption of GRACE to suit their level of resources, education, and access within a pragmatic implementation-effectiveness trial. Three sets of participants will be engaged: patients (n=750), providers (n=25), and family members of "probands" (i.e., patients that have a genetic change that increases risk, n~500). Patient participants will be asked to complete a baseline survey, enter their family health history information into MeTree (a family health history web-based platform) and complete a survey about their experience using the platform. Subsequent study procedures will depend on: 1) the results of their MeTree risk evaluation, 2) their acceptance/declination of genetic testing (for those categorized as needing testing by MeTree), and 3) the results of the test (for those accepting testing). Provider participants will be providers who are the primary care physicians treating one or more patients enrolled in the patient participant group. Providers will be notified on a patient by patient basis once the patient participant under their care has complete the risk assessment process and the risk report is available from MeTree. At study completion, provider participants will be asked to complete a survey about their demographics, practice, and experiences with the study. Blood relatives of the probands who are identified by the proband as open to engaging with the study will be contacted and offered genetic counseling and genetic testing.
The goal of this observational research registry is to learn about health, wellbeing, and needs of survivors of young adult cancer (diagnosed between the ages of 18 and 39). The main question[s] it aims to understand are: - What are the levels of depression, anxiety, social support, and financial distress - Determine effectiveness of YASU programming by measuring changes over time With this registry, the investigators also plan to identify survivors who may be eligible for participation in future research studies pertaining to young adult cancer. Participants will be asked to complete electronic surveys every 6 to 12 months during participation in the registry.
This is an open-label, multicenter, dose escalation and dose optimization study designed to evaluate safety, tolerability and preliminary anti-tumor activity of BND-35 administered alone and in combination with nivolumab or with cetuximab. The study will enroll advanced cancer patients with unresectable or metastatic disease who are refractory to or are not candidates for standard approved therapy. The study will be comprised of two parts - a dose escalation phase (Part 1) and a dose optimization (Part 2). Part 1 is comprised of three sub-parts: BND-35 administered alone (Sub-Part 1A), BND-35 administered in combination with nivolumab (Sub-Part 1B), and BND-35 administered in combination with cetuximab (Sub-Part 1C). Part 2 is composed of two sub-parts: a dose optimization part where up to two doses of BND-35 per indication are administered in combination with nivolumab or with cetuximab.
The study concerns patients who have been treated for breast cancer, have cognitive problems and are planning to return to work or are currently working and wish to begin cognitive rehabilitation. Patients will follow the Virtual Reality program developed for the study, during the cognitive rehabilitation usually proposed in the establishment, at the rate of a weekly session of 10-15 minute for 6 weeks.
The purpose of this research study is to understand barriers to and facilitators of a positive patient experience for Asian patients.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a programme for transitional palliative cancer care (Pal-Cycles) in seven countries (the Netherlands, Germany, United Kingdom, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Portugal) and its consequent effects on the number of readmissions into hospital. The main hypothesis for the study is: that fewer people in the intervention arm of the study will require hospital re admission than those having usual care. Participants will be asked to fill in questionnaires regarding their quality of care and quality of life.
The long-term goal is to define "signatures" in the form of genomic changes through sequence analyses of genomic DNA using modern Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) methods, which 1. determine the radiation exposure of humans. 2. provide information about the exposure (dose). 3. determine the radiation quality. 4. predict the repair capacity and radiation resistance of an individual.
Although lenalidomide (LEN) have proved effective in treating many cancers, few patients receiving LEN may experience rare but life-threatening adverse events such as Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL). Today, data about ALL are scarce. The objective was to investigate reports of ALL adverse events related to LEN in patients with cancer using the World Health Organization (WHO) pharmacovigilance database.
We propose an innovative approach to symptom management in cancer patients following cancer treatments, utilizing a Multimodal Integrative Therapy (MIT) delivered via Virtual Reality (VR) program, authorized by the US Food and Drug Administration for in-home use. Our primary goal is to generate pilot data on the effects of MIT-VR program on pain, fatigue, sleep, and anxiety in participants suffering from chronic cancer symptoms following cancer treatments.
