Filter by:This phase I trial studies how well a ketogenic dietary intervention works to improve response to immunotherapy in patients with melanoma and kidney cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). A ketogenic diet (KD) means eating fewer carbohydrates and more fats. The purpose is to use ketones (normal breakdown from fat) instead of glucose (sugar) as an energy source. Researchers want to see whether a ketogenic diet can improve tumor response in patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). ICI are newer treatment options that help the immune system better fight some cancers. Following a KD may improve tumor response in patients with metastatic melanoma and metastatic kidney cancer treated with ICI.
The goal of this observational study is to find out if Raman Spectroscopy, a type of imaging, can be used to determine the size of skin cancer tumors. The main question it aims to answer is: -Can Raman Spectroscopy help figure out how far a tumor spreads? This study will take measurements using laser light from an experimental, handheld probe by lightly touching the skin.
The SAHARA trial assesses wether combining ultrahypofractionated accelerated radiotherapy (RT) with hyperthermia is as effective as standard hypofractionated high-dose radiation in treating non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether high-intensity exercise and high-fiber diet are feasible and improve various health outcomes among participants with advanced melanoma receiving immunotherapy. The names of the groups in this research study are: - High-Intensity Exercise (EX) - High-fiber Diet (DT) - Combined High-Intensity Exercise and High-Fiber Diet (COMB) - Attention Control (AC)
The purpose of this study is to compare surgical site infection rates for patients treated with Mohs micrographic surgery after bilateral nasal swab with povidone iodine versus standard treatment including the use of a standardized oral antibiotic prophylaxis protocol.
This study aims to improve patient comfort by exploring the potential of lavender aromatherapy in reducing anxiety and unpleasant odor perception during Mohs Micrographic Surgery (MMS). Lavender has been widely studied for its sedative-like properties and calming effects, both in medical and dental settings. By investigating the impact of lavender aromatherapy on patient anxiety levels during MMS, we seek to provide evidence-based insights into non- pharmacological interventions that can enhance the overall comfort and experience of participants.
The proposed project is a pilot study about the impact of different health literacy interventions, focused on preventing skin cancer, on the adhesion to protection strategies against ultraviolet (UV) radiation, observed in high school students, that will be implemented on Foz do Lizandro beach in the municipality of Mafra, Portugal. As a science project with citizenship and respecting the ethic principles of equity, inclusion and diversity, the study will involve the contribution and participation of institutional and community partners in diverse stages of the research study: design, field implementation, data collection and dissemination of results, as well as financial investment for the acquisition and installation of interventions on the beach, and recruitment of the target population.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the feasibility and safety of oral nicotinamide (NAM; a derivative of vitamin B3 [niacin]) and vitamin A in a high-risk population of kidney transplant recipients with a history of skin cancer to generate preliminary data for future cancer prevention clinical trials.
This is a prospective, multicenter, sample collection study using DermTech's non-invasive skin collection kits to evaluate the mutation burden of non-lesional facial skin from subjects with a documented history of numerous basal cell carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas or melanomas compared to that of subjects with no history of skin cancer matched for age, sex and Fitzpatrick phototype.
This study will be a prospective clinical trial performed in a single center, with 20 adult subjects presenting 4-17 clinically confirmed, mild to moderate AKs according to Olsen grading on each of two comparable treatment fields on the hands and/or arms of the patients. Subjects will be randomize to receive treatment on one side with AMELUZ® (aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride) gel, 10% with its approved light source (BF-RhodoLED® lamp, 635 nm ± 9 nm, Biofrontera, Inc., Wakefield, MA, US) and the other side with LEVULAN® KERASTICK® (aminolevulinic acid HCl) topical solution, 20% with its approved light source (BLU-U® Blue light photodynamic Therapy Illuminator Model 4170, 417 nm ± 5 nm, DUSA Pharmaceuticals, Wilmington MA, US).
