Filter by:The purpose of this registry is to monitor the rate of recurrence in patients who undergo cancer surgery.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether EMDR (vs supportive therapy) is effective in relapse prevention over an observational period of 2 years in bipolar patients with a history of traumatic events.
Aim: to observe the graft versus tumor effect of Pegylated Interferonα-2b in patients with hematological malignancies relapsed after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) Patients: patients relapsed after alloHSCT, men and women aged 14-60 years, without vital organ dysfunction or ongoing graft-verus-host disease (GVHD). Number of subjects: 50, Single center, one group, prospective. Drug: pegylated interferon alpha-2b (Peg Intron®; Schering-Plough) 1~1.5ug/kg qw, until occurrence of grade II or higher grade of acute GVHD, or no response to treatment after 8 doses of treatments.
Several studies have shown that patients with acute leukemia have many symptoms during disease These symptoms decrease the quality of life and may even appear or worsen other symptoms such as depression Several studies point to the involvement of supportive care and palliative care is delayed in these patients The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact on the quality of life of an early and standardized involvement of a support / palliative care team for patients with acute leukemia in first relapse compared to a control group .
The goal of this study is to test MUSTCOOL, a home-based self-monitoring and self-management ulcer prevention intervention for patients with newly healed chronic venous leg and diabetic foot ulcers. Almost 90% of ulcers recur within 3 months of healing. During the six-month randomized clinic trial, skin temperature will be monitored daily, a maintenance dose of cooling gel pack or placebo will be applied three times weekly to the affected skin, and a bolus dose of cooling will be applied for 5 consecutive days if skin temperature becomes elevated. Outcomes on the incidence of leg ulcer recurrence, pain, physical activity and quality of life will be measured.
Obesity and metabolic syndrome are prevalent among prostate cancer patients. Having an elevated insulin level in the blood is associated with a shorter median time to cancer progression and median overall survival in patients with an elevated PSA after prior treatment. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with drugs like bicalutamide is frequently used in this patient population,with no proven benefit, which may increase mortality and morbidity.This study evaluates how metformin in combination with bicalutamide affects prostate cancer.
A wealth of research has demonstrated that they way in which the investigators recall our personal, autobiographical memories is influential in the course of depression. Biases in the recall of autobiographical memory occur in the midst of a depressive episode, and are shown to prolong symptoms, however these biases also remain when depression remits, and may predispose the individual towards relapse. A novel cognitive intervention, MemFlex, aims to train individuals to be flexible in their retrieval of autobiographical memories, and thereby reduce depressive relapse. Changes in memory bias may also have an effect on intermediate processes that increase risk of depression, such as rumination, impaired problem solving, and cognitive avoidance. This feasibility trial compares the effects of MemFlex and Psychoeducation in their ability to reduce memory bias and intermediate cognitive risk factors, and thereby depressive relapse, in individuals remitted from Major Depressive Disorder. Clinical outcome and process measures will be assessed immediately following completion of the intervention, at 6 months post-intervention, and at 12 months post-intervention. If encouraging, the results of this pilot trial may provide a foundation for a later phase trial.
Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is one of the most prevalent, persistent, and disruptive sources of distress for adult cancer survivors. Prevalence rates for FCR have been estimated at up to 89%, with approximately half of cancer survivors reporting clinically significant levels of FCR. Despite the recognized prevalence, persistence, and suffering associated with FCR, effective and accessible treatments for FCR are lacking and urgently needed. Our long-term goal is to develop, evaluate, and implement effective behavioral interventions for cancer survivors suffering with FCR.
This pilot study concentrates on studying the trajectory of breast cancer patient's fear of recurrence (FoR) over the course of radiation therapy. The aim is to collect repeated ratings of 100 breast cancer patient's FoR over the course of their treatment. It is hypothesized that cancer patient's FoR level will rise on nearing the termination of the in radiotherapy treatment, and radiotherapist-patient interaction modifies the development of patient's FoR.
Determine the relapse-free, donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI)-free survival in patients receiving the investigational regimen.This is a randomized phase II clinical trial, comparing two different dosing schedules of mycophenolate mofetil for graft versus host disease (GVHD) prevention following allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Risk for relapse, GVHD and non-relapse mortality will be assessed. Adaptive randomization between two study arms will be performed based on T cell counts at day 60.
