Filter by:This study will assess the impact of virtual reality (VR) in decreasing procedural pain related to subcutaneous port (SCP) access in children with cancer. The study is a pilot-randomized controlled trial (RCT) using a cross-over design that will provide us with detailed information on the feasibility of implementing our trial protocol in a future multi-center RCT as well as preliminary estimate of VR treatment effect on children with cancer undergoing SCP access, including child and parent factors potentially associated with VR distraction treatment efficacy.
The project will test the effect of educating and supporting family caregivers of hospice cancer patients on their active participation in shared decision making in the plan of care for their patients.
This is a phase I/IIa, Open label, Dose-escalation Study Investigating the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Intravenous Liposomal Vinorelbine Tartrate Injection in Patients with Advanced Malignancy.
The purpose of this study is to compare the urinary tract infection rate on the four postoperative day between the 2 groups of patients who have undergone total mesorectal excision for cancer and low anastomosis, with either suprapubic or transurethral catheterization.
This is a single-arm, open-label, extended treatment, safety study in patients treated with talazoparib in qualifying studies.
The overall aim of this research program is to develop and examine the impact of a Cancer virtual peer-to-peer (VP2P) Support Program on health-related quality of life (HRQL) in adolescents with cancer (AWC). In the current proposal, the feasibility of trialing the Skype-based VP2P program providing peer-support from mentors and the magnitude of program effect estimates will be evaluated in a pilot randomized control trial (RCT). This pilot RCT will enable us to refine the program and determine the appropriate sample size for a future large-scale RCT, which will compare the effectiveness of VP2P to a waitlist control group at a major Children's Oncology Group- affiliated centers in Canada and the United States.
To establish the optimal strategy of fall-risk assessment to predict falls in older adults receiving cancer therapy.
The objective of this study is to implement a brief geriatric oncology assessment (GOA) in a community-based oncology clinic, the Scotland Cancer Treatment Center - a clinic within the Duke Cancer Network, located in the rural, low resource Scotland County community of North Carolina. Secondly, the investigators will evaluate the effectiveness of the brief GOA by comparing historical and post-GOA service referral patterns and adherence to planned cancer therapy. For this study, the investigators will prospectively enroll up to 60 patients who have been diagnosed and/or treated for cancer to complete the brief GOA. In addition to these 60 patients, the investigators will also conduct retrospective chart reviews on 120 patients that would be eligible for this study to evaluate past referral patterns. Eligible and consented patients will complete the brief GOA at the Scotland Cancer Treatment Center alongside their normal clinic appointment. The investigators will assess impact on the healthcare system by evaluating referral patterns (i.e., how many, what type of services) using the brief GOA data and EHR data. The study value includes the possibility for recognition and access to additional health care referrals if needed.
JTX-2011-101 is a Phase 1/2, open label, dose escalation and expansion clinical study of JTX-2011 alone and in combination with nivolumab, ipilimumab, or pembrolizumab in adult subjects with advanced and/or refractory solid tumors, to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), as well as to evaluate preliminary efficacy.
l'ANI (Analgesia Nociception Index The main objective of the research is to estimate the Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI) as a parameter giving the possibility of measuring the pain in painful metastatic cancer. The parameter ANI is compared with visual analogical scale (VAS) score.
