Filter by:The present study aims to adapt a metacognition-based ConquerFear-HK to an internet-based self-management intervention, namely eConquerFear-HK and evaluate in a randomised controlled trial, its feasibility, utility, and potential effectiveness on fear of cancer recurrence reduction among local Chinese cancer survivors with subclinical fear of cancer recurrence.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the efficacy and safety of fecal microbiota transplantation in reducing recurrence of colorectal adenomas after endoscopic resection. The main questions it aims to answer are: - the efficacy and safety of fecal microbiota transplantation in reducing the recurrence rate of colorectal adenomas after endoscopic resection. - changes in the intestinal and mucosal microbiota of patients before and after endoscopic treatment. - changes in the intestinal and mucosal microbiota of patients before and after fecal microbiota transplantation. Participants are required to complete one colonoscopy and infuse 150ml of fecal suspension into the terminal ileum under endoscopy, performing the first fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) on day 0. Subsequently, for 2 days continuously (day 1-2), the participants will undergo microbiota transplantation in the form of oral capsules, taking 40 FMT capsules within one day (20 capsules bid). Subsequently, participants will receive a maintenance treatment with oral FMT capsules (20 capsules bid) at 3, 6, and 9 months (approximately every 75 to 90 days). Participants will undergo their first follow-up colonoscopy between 6 to 12 months(the high-risk adenoma group will receive colonoscopy at 6 months, and the low-risk adenoma group will receive colonoscopy at 12 months).
This phase III trial tests the side effects of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) compared to hypofractionated radiotherapy for treating patients with prostate adenocarcinoma that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to a limited number of sites (oligometastatic). SBRT is a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position a patient and precisely deliver radiation to tumors in the body (except the brain). The total dose of radiation is divided into smaller doses given over several days. This type of radiation therapy helps spare normal tissue. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumors cells and have fewer side effects. SBRT may work just as well as hypofractionated radiation therapy at treating patients with biochemically recurrent or oligometastatic prostate cancer, but with a shorter treatment time and possibly fewer side effects.
Veterans with bipolar disorders (BD) experience recurrent and seemingly unpredictable periods of severe impairments in psychosocial functioning, such as participation in social roles and activities. Many effective treatments for BD emphasize early detection of bipolar episodes, in order to make necessary treatment adjustments and prevent psychosocial impairments associated with acute mood episodes. Unfortunately, acute mood episodes in BD are also associated with a decrease in a patient's insight into their own symptoms, which can prevent one's ability to self-report first signs of symptoms and functional declines. Moreover, routine care visits for BD are typically too infrequent to capture and effectively monitor day-to-day changes in a patient's mood and functioning. Objective, low-effort, and continuous methods of tracking symptoms and social participation of Veterans with BD in real-time and in-situ are needed to provide early (i.e., days in advance) warning signs of acute bipolar episodes and functional declines, which in turn would enable well-timed interventions to prevent poor psychosocial outcomes. mHealth refers to the use of mobile and wireless devices as part of patient care and offers many potential opportunities for early detection of and intervention for acute mood states in this population. However, these mHealth approaches have not been investigated in Veterans with BD. In a Small Projects in Rehabilitation Research (SPiRE)-funded pilot study, the investigator team established high feasibility and acceptability of one such innovative passive mHealth approach using a smartphone program, or an app, in a small sample of Veterans with BD to track their smartphone's GPS/location. The pilot study used a priori location context ratings of visited places (e.g., a priori ratings on types of activities usually engaged in at a frequently visited location) to derive unobtrusive measures of social participation (e.g., time spent at work-related locations). The goal of this Merit Review proposal is to establish reliable and valid machine-learning algorithms using the same types of mHealth data to prospectively (days in advance) detect declines in social participation and prospective onset of mania and depression in Veterans with BD. This proposal has three aims: Aim 1. To establish a machine learning algorithm using GPS/location data for predicting prospective declines in social participation in Veterans with BD. Aim 2. To establish machine learning algorithms using GPS/location data for predicting prospective acute BD clinical states. The investigators will explore whether adding more burdensome daily self-report and voice diaries' speech analysis features improves the models' precision using statistical indices of prediction precision or accuracy. Aim 3. To explore clinical implementation of the mHealth-based algorithms in treatment of BD. Focus groups of VA providers and administrators will assess feasibility of algorithms' implementation in clinical care.
A unique approach for cancer treatment employing intratumoral diffusing alpha radiation emitter device for the treatment of Primary and Recurrent Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Vulva.
This is a phase Ib/II exploratory study. Phase Ib includes the dose escalation and expansion study of monotherapy, as well as the dose escalation study of combination therapy. After determining the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), a dose expansion study is conducted to observe the safety and efficacy in monotherapy. Phase II study is to further observe the safety and efficacy of TQB2930 combined with albumin-paclitaxel (cohort 3), or chemotherapy selected by investigators (cohort 4).
This is a multi-center clinical study enrolling up to 10 participants. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and safety of intratumoral DaRT seeds implantation for the treatment of locally recurrent prostate cancer. Secondary objectives are to 1. To evaluate feasibility of interstitial radiotherapy using DaRT seeds. Feasibility will be determined according to the rate of successful placement of DaRT seeds via imaging [Timeframe: immediately following the insertion procedure 2. To assess the impact of DaRT seeds on patient reported quality of life.
This is a prospective and observational study. The investigator speculated that the use of DC in patients with paroxysmal AF can serve as a predictor for early and late AF recurrence following CPVI.
The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate the toxicity and efficacy of re-irradiation using focal stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in patients with local recurrence of prostate cancer after definitive or post-operative radiotherapy. The main question is the tolerance of such treatment, concerning the incidence of Grade ≥ 2 and Grade ≥ 3 GU and GI toxicity. Also the efficacy of SBRT will be measured in terms of Biochemical Control. Secondary endpoints include: Biochemical Response, Metastases-Free Survival, Relapse-Free Survial, Overall Survival and patients' reported tolerance measured with Quality of Life questionnaires (QoL C-30 and PR-25). The evaluation of the tolerance and effectiveness of stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT) will be performed in 3 subgroups: in patients with local recurrence after conventionally fractionated definitive radiotherapy (Group A) or ultrahypofractionated definitive SBRT (Group C) or after prostatectomy and post-operative radiotherapy (Group B). The study group is planned to include 60 patients.
This trial compares detethering surgery and spinal column shortening surgery, two treatments for adults with recurrent tethered cord syndrome (TCS), a neurological disorder where the spinal cord becomes abnormally attached to tissue. Detethering surgery carries a higher risk of postoperative complications such as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage, while spinal column shortening surgery's comparative efficacy is unclear. This study aims to clarify the optimal surgical management for recurrent TCS in adults, assessing postoperative complication rate and improvement of symptoms.
