Filter by:This study is a single-arm, single-center trial aimed at evaluating the safety, pharmacokinetics, biodistribution and dosimetry of 68Ga-LNC1007 Injection in adult healthy volunteers and solid tumor patients. All participants must provide a signed informed consent form before enrolling in the trial. A total of 8 adult healthy volunteers and solid tumor patients will be involved in the trial. There should be no less than 3 and no more than 5 participants in either group. If any participant drops out during the trial, or an effective scan image becomes unavailable, additional volunteers will be recruited to ensure the sample size. The participant will receive a single intravenous injection with 68Ga-LNC1007 Injection.Each subject will participate in the study for approximately 3 weeks, including 2 weeks of screening, 1 week of scanning and safety follow-up.
The majority of cancer patients experience varying degrees of psychological distress and physical symptoms due to the presence of cancer or the process of treatment. These symptoms are closely associated with inflammatory markers and patient prognosis, highlighting the urgent need for effective psychological intervention methods. Behavioral activation, an emerging psychological intervention approach, requires further investigation regarding its potential in alleviating negative emotions among cancer patients. Therefore, the investigators conducted a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to investigate whether (1) behavioral activation can ameliorate negative emotions and physical symptoms in cancer patients; (2) behavioral activation can contribute to improved survival outcomes for these patients; and (3) behavioral activation can enhance NLR levels and other clinical indicators among individuals with cancer. The investigators aimed to recruit a total of 390 cancer patients, comprising 170 individuals diagnosed with esophageal and gastric cancer, 100 individuals with colorectal cancer, and 120 individuals with lung cancer. These patients were recruited from the Department of Oncology at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University between March 2023 and November 2023. They were randomly allocated into two groups: an intervention group (behavioral activation+care as usual, BA+CAU) and a control group (care as usual, CAU). The intervention group underwent an eight-week behavioral activation program (see Detailed Description) designed to promote engagement in meaningful activities that are physically and emotionally rewarding while reducing involvement in maladaptive emotional cycles. Both the intervention group and the control group received standard care along with conventional treatment for their respective cancers. This study aims to demonstrate the significant efficacy of behavioral activation in improving negative emotions, somatic symptoms, quality of life, and clinical inflammatory indicators among cancer patients. Furthermore, it may potentially enhance patient survival rates, thereby offering a novel approach for psychological intervention in cancer patients and contributing to multidisciplinary treatment and management strategies. The intervention measures employed in this study do not involve any pharmacological treatments or hazardous activities. For illiterate or less educated patients, the informed consent process and questionnaire collection will be conducted using methods that ensure their full comprehension (e.g., verbal explanations, visual aids). Additionally, patients with evident cognitive impairments were excluded from the study. The investigators have implemented a questionnaire system on the WJX website (https://www.wjx.cn/) to collect patient information through both paper and electronic questionnaires. The psychological measurement questionnaires are stored electronically, while socio-demographic data and clinical indicators are collected in the hospital's medical record management system. Subsequently, all data is summarized and saved in local Excel files and SPSS files for specialized analysis by data analysts. Patient names are anonymized within the database, ensuring strict confidentiality of personal information such as contact details and home address. Possible statistical methods include descriptive statistical analysis, generalized estimating equation or repeated measures analysis of variance, structural equation modeling, correlation analysis and regression, survival analysis, etc.
The purpose of this study is to find out if an anxiety treatment program is practical and effective for Latino older adults with cancer (OACs) and their caregivers.
Evaluation of the Effect of N-acetylcysteine in Preventing Cisplatin-Induced Toxicities in Cancer Patients
Investigators used in-house-designed radiotherapy red and green light markers to distinguish individual measures after the provision of the initial nursing care to participants, added a homemade health education leaflet to collect data via actual observation, and counted the disappearance or fading of participants' body markers
This prospective randomized trial evaluated the effect of music interventions on anxiety and nervousness during 10 consecutive days in individuals undergoing their first radiation therapy session.
Young people with cancer have difficult experiences and writing exercises may help improve their well-being. However, very few studies have examined how a creative writing activity might be useful for young people with cancer. In this pilot study, researchers at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital hope to explore whether teenagers and young adults with cancer want to participate in a writing exercise and whether they find it to be valuable. Primary Objective To assess the feasibility and acceptability of a writing-based narrative medicine intervention for adolescent and young adult patients with cancer.
1. Through cross-sectional investigation and research, construct an fear of cancer recurrence warning model to identify and screen high fear of cancer recurrencecancer populations, in order to identify predictive factors for high fear of cancer recurrence, study how cancer patients develop susceptibility to fear of cancer recurrence during the diagnosis and treatment process, including which participating factors, explore the development trajectory of fear of cancer recurrence, and effectively prevent the occurrence of high-level fear of cancer recurrence. 2. Through randomized controlled trials, conduct a study on mindfulness and stress reduction psychosocial intervention for high-level fear of cancer recurrence patients, verify the effectiveness of psychosocial intervention measures targeting domestic cancer populations, and improve standardized intervention methods, intervention time, and treatment content.
Pre-clinical and clinical studies have shown that low-dose radiation therapy has good immune regulatory effects, activates different anti-tumor immune pathways, and regulates tumor stroma to better promote T cell infiltration. Conventional fractionated radiotherapy increases antigen release and presentation, and stimulates immune cells. In theory, the combination of the two can reverse immune resistance. Our study aims to clarify the efficacy and safety of low-dose radiotherapy combined with conventional fractionated radiotherapy in reversing immune therapy resistance for patients with non-small cell lung cancer, including objective response rate (ORR), progression free survival time (PFS), disease control rate (DCR), health-related quality of life assessment (HRQoL), and incidence of adverse events (AEs).
