Filter by:This clinical trial studies the effect of a continuous glucose monitor application in improving outcomes in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes and active cancer. Patient satisfaction with type 2 diabetes management influences medication-taking behavior as well as health outcomes. Adding continuous glucose monitor application to diabetes treatment plan after hospital discharge plan may improve patient satisfaction and reduce diabetes distress.
This clinical trial studies the effectiveness of a web-based cancer education tool called Helping Oncology Patients Explore Genomics (HOPE-Genomics) in improving patient knowledge of personal genomic testing results and cancer and genomics in general. HOPE-Genomics is a web-based education tool that teaches cancer/leukemia patients, and patients who may be at high-risk for developing cancer, about genomic testing and provide patients with information about their own genomic test results. The HOPE-Genomics tool may improve patient's genomic knowledge and quality of patient-centered care. In addition, it may also improve education and care quality for future patients.
This clinical quality improvement study reviews and develops a clinical operations workflow to identify cancer patients who meet criteria for genetic counseling and testing. This study may improve utilization of genetic counseling and testing amongst community-based oncology providers caring for cancer patients in a rural and underserved area.
This study compares patients' attitudes regarding marijuana products for medical use and other treatments for cancer-related pain. This study may help researchers gain better understanding of patient's perception on their use of marijuana products in treating cancer-related pain and other common cancer-related symptoms.
This study examines how certain risk factors (such as age, gender, other medical conditions, and the type of immunotherapy used to treat the cancer) affect whether a patient with a malignant solid tumor will develop mild or serious side effects from the immunotherapy medications. Immunotherapy is the type of treatment that helps the body's immune system fight cancer. In the future, this information may help doctors make better decisions about cancer treatments.
This clinical trial studies the different types of investigational imaging techniques called sequences during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head before and after radiation therapy in patients with cancer that has spread to the brain (intracranial metastases). This clinical trial also compares these new techniques with standard MRI imaging to see if sequences provide better images. Diagnostic procedures, such as MRI, may help find and diagnose solid organ cancer and find out how far the disease has spread.
This clinical trial investigates if certain electronic games may be effective in improving attention and memory function in cancer survivors. Cancer related cognitive impairment (CRCI) is an issue experienced by many cancer patients/survivors. CRCI includes perceived or objective problems with memory, executive function, and attention/concentration. CRCI has a negative impact on survivors' ability to work, carry out routine activities, and engage in social and family relationships. CRCI may result in significant distress and reduced quality of life. Certain electronic games may help improve attention and memory function in cancer survivors and reduce symptoms of CRCI.
This early phase I trial studies the direct effects on cancer cells of the drugs binimetinib and palbociclib, in patients with KRAS-positive lung, colorectal, or pancreatic cancer that can be removed by surgery (operable). Binimetinib and palbociclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving binimetinib and palbociclib may halt the growth of cancer cells and improve access of the immune system cells, a patient's own cells that fight infection and cancer, into the tumor.
This study gathers information about how a cancer patient responds to COVID-19 vaccine during cancer treatment compared to healthy individuals. The information gained may help determine how effective currently available COVID-19 vaccines are in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy and learn more regarding how long an immune response will last compared to healthy individuals.
This phase III trial compares BBT-CI to HEAL for the reduction of insomnia in patients with stage I-IV cancer who are receiving cancer treatment. Cancer treatment can cause side effects such as sleep problems. Sleep problems such as insomnia, are common for cancer patients. Insomnia can be described as difficulty falling asleep, waking up many times during the night or waking up earlier than patient would like. Insomnia can increase fatigue and worsen quality of life. This trial may help researchers determine which treatment works better in reducing insomnia, BBT-CI or HEAL.
