Filter by:The goal of this project is to test the efficacy of a chatbot intervention for reducing HPV vaccine hesitancy among African American parents. An online experiment will be conducted to test the effectiveness of the chatbot intervention with African American parents. Results of this project will inform future communication interventions for reducing vaccine hesitancy among African American parents.
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of the 9vHPV vaccine in Chinese healthy male aged 9 to 45 years.
Squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal is a rare cancer with an increasing incidence. It represents 2.5% of digestive cancers and occurs more frequently in immunocompromised persons, in particular HIV positive. It is a cancer that develops essentially locally, with only 5% of metastases at diagnosis. The reference treatment for forms deemed localized after clinico-bio-radiological pre-therapeutic evaluation is radiochemotherapy allowing a 5-year survival rate of about 80%. However, up to 30% of patients fail radiochemotherapy. Failure is defined as persistent disease (non response or progression in 10 to 15% of patients) or relapse (local or metastatic in 10 to 15% of patients). Salvage surgery by abdominoperineal amputation is indicated in this case after elimination of the metastatic character with an overall survival rate at 5 years varying from 23 to 69%. This complex and cumbersome surgery is burdened with significant postoperative morbidity with alteration of the quality of life. Investigators would like to perform a retrospective and prospective study in the Paris Saint-Joseph hospital group to evaluate the interest of abdominoperineal amputation in case of failure of radiochemotherapy in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal.
This study determines whether a positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) 4-point scoring system may predict overall survival for anal squamous cell cancer patients. A 4-point scoring system involving imaging scans may help to predict how patients with anal squamous cell cancer respond to chemoradiation therapy.
Anal cancer is a common cancer among men having sex with men (MSM). We will investigate increasing detection of anal canal tumors through self- or partner-palpation of the anal canal among MSM and trans persons. This study in Houston and Chicago will recruit a sample of 100 couples (i.e., 200 partners) and 600 single persons (one-half HIV-positive), aged ≥ 25 years, who will be taught to perform an ASE or ACE. After performing the exam in private, the individual's ASE and partner's ACE will then be compared with a clinician's DARE. The assessment will be done at each of two visits, spaced 6-months apart. One-half of persons will be randomized to a practice condition to assess how practice affects accuracy and retention of exam procedure. Our hypothesis is that both ASE and ACE at visit 1 will have ≥70% sensitivity and ≥90% specificity using the clinician DARE as the gold standard at each of two visits.
Study should determine if performing the less uncomfortable part of the exam (the perianal exam) results in less recalled discomfort if performed last vs. if performed first.
Patients with high trans-sphincteric anal fistula will be randomized to one of two equal group: group 1 will have drainage seton with mucosal advancement flap and group 2 will undergo external anal sphincter sparing seton
The goal of this study is to determine the effects of message framing (gain vs. loss) on African American parents' acceptance of the HPV vaccine and how such effects are moderated by parents' salient beliefs prior to message exposure. Participants are randomized into gain and loss conditions in which they view either gain-framed or loss-framed HPV vaccination messages. Key outcome variables include parents' attitudes and intentions toward vaccinating their children against HPV.
This is a Phase 1, multiple dose, ascending-dose escalation study and expansion study designed to define a maximum tolerated dose and/or recommended dose of XmAb22841 monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab; to assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and anti-tumor activity of XmAb22841 monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab in subjects with select advanced solid tumors.
This phase II trial studies the side effects of LET-IMPT and standard chemotherapy, and how well they work in treating patients with newly diagnosed stage I-III anal canal squamous cell cancer. LET-IMPT is a type of radiation therapy that uses high energy proton "beamlets" to "paint" the radiation dose into the target and may help to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving LET-IMPT and standard chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with anal canal squamous cell cancer.
