Filter by:This study forms part of Entia's clinical evidence for regulatory submission. This study evaluates Entia Liberty's performance claims with venous blood compared to the gold standard clinical laboratory haematology analysers. Excess blood flagged by the laboratory meeting our requirements will be tested on the Entia Liberty device and have its results compared against the laboratory results. Samples will also be flagged for precision testing (same blood sample, split into 10 Entia Liberty samples).
This study is a clinical performance validation study to evaluate the performance of the Entia Liberty device. Patients undergoing routine venepuncture blood tests will be recruited to have an Entia Liberty test (by finger-prick) done on them by a trained healthcare professional. The results from that finger-prick test will be compared against the results from the routine venepuncture blood test (reference method) and subsequently, excess blood from the routine venepuncture test will be run on another Entia Liberty device in the laboratory. All three results (Entia Liberty capillary, Entia Liberty venous and gold standard venous) will be compared against each other to prove Entia Liberty's performance claims.
Pediatric, adolescent and young adult cancer survivors (PAYA-CS) are at higher risk of cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. This is a consequence of prior cancer-related therapies that have the potential of producing cardiac dysfunction, reducing cardiorespiratory fitness (reduced VO2peak) and psychosocial morbidities (i.e., anxiety and depression). A reduction of physical activity levels can evoke functional limitations resulting in a vicious cycle of reduced exercise tolerance and physical deterioration. To date, there is limited evidence on the use of non-pharmacological strategies such as Cardio-Oncology Rehabilitation (CORE) including structured exercise, behavioural support and risk factor management to improve the outcomes of this underserved population. The HIMALAYAS study is a randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the impact of a CORE intervention (consisting of six-months home and onsite-based structured moderate to high-intensity aerobic exercise training and CVD risk factor management) on CV and psychosocial health, and the cardiovascular disease risk in PAYA-CS with mild heart dysfunction (stage B heart failure) compared to standard of care (i.e. providing guidance on the current exercise recommendations for cancer survivors). The primary objective of the HIMALAYAS study is to determine whether a six-month supervised CORE intervention, consisting of individualized moderate to high-intensity aerobic exercise training, CVD risk factor modification and enhanced online behavioral support, improves cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2peak; primary outcome), cardiac function, CVD risk factors and biomarkers, and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) at six- months follow-up compared to standard of care (CON) in PAYA-CS with stage B heart failure. The secondary objective is to assess the same outcomes at 12- and 24-months follow-up. We will recruit 336 patients across 5 sites in Canada and upto 134 patients at UHN in 3 years and conclude in 6 years.
The study aims to evaluate the impact of clinical pharmacist intervention as a part of a multidisciplinary team to improve clinical outcomes of cancer patients with pain in comparison to standard care.
The proposed pilot study aims to develop and test a patient video educational tool, an interactive Mobile Doctor (iMD), that can be integrated in radiation oncology setting to effectively engage cancer patients receiving treatment at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to facilitate smoking cessation and maintaining smoking abstinence in the context of their radiation treatment. This study is the first to address tobacco use among can patients receiving radiation therapy that targets both tobacco cessation (current users) and maintaining abstinence (former users who have recently quit).
This study is a randomized clinical trial designed to test a novel financial navigation intervention. The study assesses the impact of the financial navigation intervention on financial hardship and health-related quality of life, cancer-related material and psychological financial hardship, patient-centered communication, and time to initiation of treatment.
The goal of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of a COVID vaccine booster in patients with cancer who have not developed an antibody after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Emergency Use Authorized COVID vaccination series
To assess the contribution of the use of virtual reality glasses on the pain perceived by patients during the installation of an ICP in the operating room under local anesthesia in the patient newly diagnosed with cancer
The aim of this project is to provide personalized multi-peptide vaccination in combination with the TLR1/2 ligand XS15 to individual patients with advanced solid and hematological malignancies without any approved treatment options.
This study aims to determine whether parental involvement during venipuncture reduces venipuncture pain and anxiety in children with cancer.
