The goal of this study is to learn if the Mind Over Matter (MOM) Intervention, a 5-week group program, can help Black and African American women deal with the fears, worries and sadness that often accompany cancer diagnosis and treatment. The main question this study aims to answer is: • Whether the MOM Intervention is feasible and acceptable among Black and African American women. We would also like to find out if: - The MOM Intervention decreases anxiety, depression and physical symptom severity for Black and African American women. - The MOM Intervention is culturally and linguistically appropriate, and identify barriers, strengths, and areas of improvement. Participants will: - Attend a Pre-Program Orientation - Attend 5 weekly MOM Sessions - Complete 2 questionnaires (one will be given before the first MOM Session begins, and the other will be given after the last MOM Session) Participants also have the choice to attend an optional Focus Group, which will be offered after the last MOM Session. Please note, this entire Intervention will be offered online. There will be no in-person sessions or visits.
The goal of this prospective, randomized, controlled trial conducted at Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center is to compare the effectiveness and clinical outcomes of using a traction device in colonic endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) to those of using conventional ESD. The investigators of this study hypothesize that use of the traction device will help expedite colonic endoscopic submucosal dissections.
Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) emerges as a highly promising target for cancer diagnostic imaging and targeted radionuclide therapy. To exploit the therapeutic potential of current FAP inhibitors (FAPIs), this study presented the design and synthesis of a series of FAPI dimers to increase tumor uptake and retention. Preclinical evaluation and a pilot clinical PET imaging study were conducted to screen the lead compound with the potential for radionuclide therapy.
This study is an exploratory single-arm, open, modified "3+3" dose escalation study with BGT007H injection. Approximately 11 to 14 subjects with recurrent/refractory gastrointestinal tumors will be enrolled to evaluate the safety of BGT007H injection. Four dose levels were designed for this study: 1.0×10^8cells, 3.0×10^8cells, 1.0×10^9cells, and 3.0×10^9cells. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic profile of BGT007H cell therapy in patients with recurrent/refractory digestive tract tumors, to determine the maximum tolerated dose or the best effective dose, and to initially evaluate the effectiveness of BGT007H cell products.
Patients often base their information on the experiences of other patients or on information they find on the internet. This information is in many cases incorrect, outdated or not applying to the patient's situation. This leads to misconceptions or inappropriate anxiety. During the intake consultation at the radiotherapy department, doctors, nurses and RTTs provide accurate and patient-specific information, but it can be overwhelming and it is known that only part of this information is remembered. Moreover, it remains difficult for a patient to imagine how the treatment will proceed. The combination of verbal information, supplemented with video material, seems to be the ideal way to convey information. After all, a video can be viewed again afterwards, possibly together with loved ones, or can be shown in advance in preparation of the consultation. In Belgium, the existence of patient education videos about radiotherapy is very limited. Making these kinds of videos is expensive and time consuming. For that reason, BeSTRO (Belgian Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology) started a project to make videos for patients that can be used nationally by all radiotherapy centers. The project is sponsored by Foundation against Cancer.
The goal of this prospective, single centre, 1:1, Post Market, randomized controlled, Investigator Initiated trial, is to compare the feasibility, safety efficacy, and clinical outcomes of colonic endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) utilizing a novel rigidizing overtube called Pathfinder® Endoscope Overtube (Neptune Medical, Burlingame California, USA) device in comparison to conventional ESD. The research team hypothesize that with utilizing a novel rigidizing overtube the procedure time including dissection speed and closure time will be faster due to higher scope stability and greater control over the scope tip. Subsequently, the investigators anticipate lower immediate or delayed adverse events.
Gastrointestinal tumors (esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer) seriously threaten human health, with a high incidence rate and cancer related hope mortality. Digestive endoscopy is the main method for screening gastrointestinal tumors. Early screening of gastrointestinal tumors can improve the detection of early cancer and improve prognosis. The five-year survival rate of early stage tumors after comprehensive treatment can reach 90%, while the five-year survival rate of late stage tumors is less than 30%. Therefore, the screening of gastrointestinal tumors is very important. Studies have shown that there are similarities in risk factors for gastrointestinal tumors, such as age, gender, family history, smoking, alcohol consumption, etc. Currently, established digestive malignancies are targeted at a single malignant tumor. At present, there is a lack of understanding of the overall risk factors associated with gastrointestinal tumors and the establishment of relevant risk prediction models. Therefore, we conducted a prospective, multicenter cross-sectional study to explore the independent risk factors of combined gastrointestinal tumors and establish a risk prediction model for combined screening of gastrointestinal tumors.
This is an exploratory clinical study evaluating the safety and initial efficacy of BGT007 injection in the treatment of recurrent/metastatic/refractory digestive system tumors
This is a study in adults from Asia with different types of advanced cancer (solid tumours). People can join the study if they have cancer of the stomach, large bowel and rectum, pancreas, liver, head and neck or non-small cell lung cancer. This is a study for people for whom previous treatment was not successful or no treatment exists. People can participate if their tumour has the B7-H6 marker. The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of BI 765049 that people with advanced cancer can tolerate when taken (alone and) together with ezabenlimab. Another purpose is to check whether BI 765049 taken (alone and) together with ezabenlimab can make tumours shrink. Both medicines may help the immune system fight cancer. Participants can stay in the study up to 3 years, as long as they can tolerate it and can benefit from it. During this time, they visit the study site about every 3 weeks. At the study site they get BI 765049 alone or in combination with ezabenlimab as an infusion into a vein. BI 765049 is given in 3-week cycles, ezabenlimab is given once every 3 weeks. The doctors check the health of the participants and note any health problems that could have been caused by BI 765049 or ezabenlimab. Doctors regularly check the size of the tumour and check whether it has spread to other parts of the body.
