Filter by:The proposed ONE TEAM Study is an 18-month, cluster randomized controlled trial. This study will use a sequential multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART) design with a second randomization for the intervention group using a dynamic treatment regimen approach. The investigators propose to randomize 800 adults with newly-diagnosed selected cancers treated with curative intent (breast, prostate, colorectal, endometrial, non-small cell lung, and endometrial) and with >1 selected cardiovascular disease (CVD) comorbidity (hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia). Participants will be enrolled through Duke Cancer Institute and two community-based oncology practices, both settings serving socio-demographically diverse populations. The unit of randomization will be the PCP clinic; there will be ~80 PCP clinics across North Carolina involved in the study. The overarching goals of this study are to improve chronic disease management and communication among cancer survivors by engaging PCPs as active members of the cancer care team and reframing the message to cancer survivors and providers. A diversity supplement with retrospective and qualitative components has been added to abstract older adults with solid tumors who underwent cancer surgery at DUHS. Aims include (1) to estimate the prevalence of cardiovascular complications ≤90 postoperative days among older adults with solid tumors undergoing surgery, and its association with care coordination between surgical providers and PCPs ; (2) to develop a risk index for cardiovascular complications ≤90 days of surgery among older adult patients with a solid tumor; and (3) to Assess experience and perceptions of PCPs on care coordination with surgical providers of older adults with a solid tumor following cancer surgery.
This study aims to evaluate the impact of electronic educational materials on adolescent and young adult ("AYA") survivors' knowledge about late effects, perceived benefits, self-efficacy, and intentions to engage in lifelong survivor care.
The study design is cross-sectional using a self-completion questionnaire in an English speaking multi-ethic population within Leicester and Leicestershire. The study will adopt a convenient and purposive sampling recruitment strategy across a variety of settings within Leicestershire to facilitate recruitment of a wide range of participants.
The purpose of this observational antidepressant study is to determine the efficacy of vortioxetine on depression and cognitive function, and elucidate its potential effects on quality of life in patients with cancer (of any origin). We hypothesise that given its unique mechanism of action as a multimodal serotonin modulator, vortioxetine is set to achieve the above goals while maintaining a favourable side effect profile.
Non interventional multi-centric study that will aim in evaluating the efficacy and safety of Fondaparinux in surgical cancer patients, identifying in parallel the most relevant and critical risk factors for Thromboembolism.
This is a prospective research study which will include patients who have progressed on immunotherapy as their most recent line of therapy. This study aims to characterize whether patients who fail to respond to immunotherapy versus patients who respond initially but after a period of time progress demonstrate different genomic, transcriptomic, epigenetic, immunophenotyping profiles. Patients will have a one-time fresh tumor biopsy. Serial blood samples (total amount of blood drawn may not exceed the lesser of 50 mL or 3 mL/kg in an 8 week period), archival tissue (if available) and one stool sample will be collected.
Falls are common and catastrophic in cancer patients. Cancer patients are vulnerable to falls due to muscle loss. In prescribing exercise in a data driven manner to cancer patients, our hypothesis is this "prescription" for exercise will eventually be demonstrated to reduce the occurrence of injurious falls.
This study evaluates whether a "Patient Navigation 2.0 Checklist" intervention is effective in addressing patients' social determinants of health and recommended cancer-related screenings, behavioral counseling, and immunizations.
The creation of a prospective clinical-biological base dedicated to peritoneal carcinosis must therefore be able to serve as a support for this essential search for transfer.
This study evaluates the efficacy of an interactive mobile game, Shadow's Edge, on enhancing resilience, promoting identity development, and decreasing somatic symptoms among adolescent and young adult survivors of cancer.
