Is Radiation-before-pathology a Feasible Approach in the Palliative Oncology Setting? A Pragmatic Clinical Trial

RT-NOW
Start date: February 1, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

When a doctor suspects cancer, often a biopsy is taken for testing to confirm if cancer is present. Usually, doctors would wait for the results of a biopsy before delivering radiation, but this may lead to a patient having to wait for a treatment that he or she urgently needs. With long wait times for biopsies in Canada, this may lead to symptoms and risks of complications from cancer in the meantime. Therefore, this study is being done to answer the following question: Is it safe and feasible to deliver radiation before obtaining a biopsy in a carefully selected group of patients who urgently need radiation treatment.

Physical Activity and Exercise in Cancer Immunotherapy Treatment

Start date: December 4, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

People who are diagnosed with a cancer commonly experience symptoms that affect day-to-day life, including muscle weakness, pain, tiredness and fatigue. These consequences can make it hard for people to tolerate their medical treatments. It is well known that regular physical activity or planned exercise can help with these symptoms and significantly improve physical and mental health during cancer treatment. Recent animal studies suggest that exercise training can also reduce the number of cancer cells. For example, exercise training in mice produces more immune cells in the tumour. These immune cells in the tumour contribute to the destruction and reduction of the size of the tumour and are a vital component of effective immunotherapy (cancer treatment that helps your immune system fight cancer). In humans, exercise training and the effect on the immune response in tumours are less understood and is a new area being explored. However, we are aware that most people diagnosed with a cancer are not physically active, and especially not during the treatment period. The aim of this study is to understand the experiences and perceptions of physical activity and exercise in those with cancer receiving immunotherapy treatment (such as immune check point inhibitors (ICI). This will help us to create new practices or change practices to help those with cancer to partake in physical activity and exercise when on treatment. Participants consenting to take part in the study will be individually interviewed through a semi-structured interview.

MAAT For Young Adult Cancer Survivors

MAAT-YACCS
Start date: December 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to pilot-test a modified version of telehealth-delivered Memory and Attention Adaption Training (MAAT) that is tailored to young adult childhood cancer survivors (ages 18-39; MAAT-YS) with cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI). MAAT-YS consists of 8 weekly visits (45-minutes in duration) and participants use a survivor workbook and complete homework between visits. Participants in this single-group pilot trial (N=9) will complete online self-report measures of cognitive symptoms, quality of life, treatment satisfaction and a brief online neuropsychological test battery at baseline and post-MAAT-YS timepoints.

NCT ID: NCT06150027 Not yet recruiting - Cancer Clinical Trials

Efficacy of a Systematic Referral to Palliative Care of Patients Who Need for Palliative Care During an Unscheduled Visit in Comprehensive Anticancer Centers

PALLU
Start date: January 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is a randomized, multicenter, prospective, phase III study conducted in daily emergency rooms of French Regional Comprehensive Cancer Centers. In the standard arm, patients will be managed regardless of their PALLIA-10 score, following conventional strategy. In the experimental arm, patients will be systematically referred to a palliative care team.

NCT ID: NCT06149533 Not yet recruiting - Cancer Clinical Trials

Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Edoxaban on Prevention of Catheter-related Thrombosis (CRT) in Cancer Patients

Thrombosis
Start date: November 30, 2023
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of edoxaban in the prevention of tumor catheter-related thrombosis (CVC/PICC) in high-risk patients

NCT ID: NCT06147362 Recruiting - Cancer Clinical Trials

68Ga-NOTA-PEG2-RM26 PET/CT, First in Man Study

Start date: June 1, 2022
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This is an open-label positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) study to investigate the diagnostic performance and evaluation efficacy of 68Ga-NOTA-PEG2-RM26 in prostate cancer patients. A single dose of 2 MBq/kg of 68Ga-NOTA-PEG2-RM26 limited to 100-200 MBq per examination will be given intravenously. Visual and semiquantitative method will be used to assess PET/CT images.

NCT ID: NCT06143189 Completed - Cancer Clinical Trials

Well-being Biomarkers (BIOSMILE) & Psychology Analyses in Women With Cancer After Hospital Clowns and Hosting Effects

Start date: August 21, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate the impact of Hospital Clowns (HCs) intervention, besides to hospital hosting conditions, in the well-being of adult female patients during ambulatory chemotherapy. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Do the short-term HCs interventions during ambulatory chemotherapy may increase well-being of adult cancer patients in comparison to the hospital hosting conditions? - Do the short-term HCs interventions, besides the hospital hosting conditions, have effects on well-being biomarkers in association with psychological outcomes? Participants self-collect a sample of saliva followed by psychological assessment, at a first time-point (basal) and at a final time-point (~after 90 minutes of basal) (pre- and post-test), during the chemotherapy treatment session. Researchers have compared an HCs intervention plus hosting conditions - experimental group, EG, and hosting conditions only - control group, CG, by the repeated measures of pre- and post-test of biomarkers in saliva and the psychological functioning evaluations, to see the degree of the impact of HCs intervention in the well-being of the patients in comparison with normal hosting conditions. Each HCs intervention lasts around 15 minutes, and it is performed in the middle of the procedure between pre- and post-test.

Phase:
Study type: Observational

The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1. The proportion of family members of cancer patients who say they need more support 2. What support family members feel would be beneficial Information about patients' cancer diagnosis and treatment will be collected from their medical notes.
