Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of pharmacists on reducing chemotherapy-related side effects by providing education before and after patients receive intravenous chemotherapy at one of Cedars-Sinai outpatient infusion centers. Participants will be interviewed via telephone within 7 business days after receiving intravenous chemotherapy from the outpatient cancer center infusion clinic.
The aim of the study is to analyse the quality of information that patients and relatives of different types of cancer receive through social networks on the subject of incontinence after cancer surgery.
Determine the effects of the Computerized Symptom Assessment Tool (C-SCAT) versus usual care on the primary outcomes of self-efficacy for symptom management and symptom self-management behaviors
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and anti-tumor activity of IMA402 in patients with recurrent and/or refractory solid tumors. Primary objectives: - To determine the maximum tolerated dose and/or recommended dose for extension for IMA402 (Phase I) - To characterize the safety and tolerability of IMA402 (Phase I/II) - To evaluate anti-tumor activity of IMA402 (Phase II) Secondary objectives: - To evaluate the initial anti-tumor activity of IMA402 (Phase I) - To evaluate anti-tumor activity of IMA402 (Phase II) - To describe the PK of IMA402 (Phase I/II)
The Vincere Biobank aims to make quality biospecimens and associated clinical data available for research studies related to advancing medicine and improving care for patients, including cancer screening, treatment, and care.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of recruiting young adult cancer survivors from across the nation and to explore the impact of an eHealth group intervention on mental health and stress biomarkers in this population.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test CPO301, a type of drug called an antibody drug conjugate in adult patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To assess the safety and tolerability of CPO301 at increasing doses and determine the dose to be used in the second part of the study (Part A) - To assess the safety and tolerability of CPO301 at the dose determined to be safe and tolerable in Part A in patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and potentially other tumor types (Part B) - To evaluate how quickly CPO301 is metabolized by the body (pharmacokinetics or PK) - To evaluate if antibodies to the study drug develop (immunogenicity) - To evaluate preliminary efficacy to the drug - To correlate preliminary efficacy with mutations in a biomarker called EGFR Participants will: - Provide written informed consent - Undergo screening tests to ensure they are eligible for study treatment - Attend all required study visits and receive CPO301 by intravenous injection every 3 weeks until the study doctor determines study treatment should be stopped, based on how well a participant is doing on treatment - Be followed for progression every 3 months for up to 2 years
This is a Phase 2, single-center study to explore the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of up to two 25-mg doses of psilocybin administered at an interval of 9 to 10 weeks in patients with MDD and cancer. This two-part study will administer a fixed dose (25 mg) of psilocybin in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled portion (Dosing Session 1) and subsequently allow rollover into an open-label portion (Dosing Session 2; fixed dose of psilocybin, 25 mg) for patients who do not achieve remission of MDD symptoms after the first dose. In Dosing Session 1, groups of two to four patients will be randomized, as a cohort, to receive either psilocybin 25 mg or niacin 100 mg (active placebo) in a group session, with each patient supported by their dedicated study therapist and monitored by a second therapist via video feed. In Dosing Session 2, all eligible participants (i.e., patients who have not achieved remission defined as MADRS < 10 at V7) will receive psilocybin 25 mg in an open-label fashion using the group session model. The study population will include adult men and women who are 18 years of age or older and have diagnoses of both MDD and a malignant neoplasm. MDD is defined as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5) diagnostic criteria for a single or recurrent episode of MDD without psychotic features. A diagnosis of a malignant neoplasm is defined as having a diagnostic code from C00 to C97 according to the International Classification of Diseases, 10th edition (ICD-10). Participants will be recruited through referrals from specialized psychiatric and oncology services as well as through patient self-referrals. The majority of participants will have no prior exposure to psilocybin or so-called "magic mushrooms"; however, participants with prior recreational experience with psilocybin or "magic mushrooms" are eligible.
This study seeks to evaluate whether a nutrition assistance quality improvement program for patients with cancer and food insecurity receiving active treatment at Pacific Cancer Care will have reductions in food insecurity.
Mobile health applications open the door to a safe and effective health system. Mobile communication channels and mobile phones not only provide training paths to healthcare professionals, but also provide remote decision support using automated data analysis or the ability to engage in real-time interviews with experts(1). The prevalence of symptoms due to cancer treatment and this adversely affect the quality of life and vital functions of patients and their relatives, and the increase in non-treatment admissions to the hospital. This shows that there is a need for programs where patients can control symptoms related to oncological treatment at home. It is thought that the use of mobile applications can be cost-effective by increasing access to health services and improving diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation (2). Our single-blind, randomized-controlled, experimental study will be carried out between April 2022 and December 2022 at Kocaeli University Oncology and Palliative Care Center Ambulatory Chemotherapy Unit. The population of the study will consist of chemotherapy patients who applied to the unit and agreed to participate in the study. Based on the calculation made, it was decided to include 212 patients. In this context, it is thought that the mobile-based monitoring system in the management of chemotherapy-related symptoms will contribute to the management of treatment-related symptoms and increase the quality of life in patients receiving chemotherapy. Expected results from the use of the mobile application; - reducing the symptom burden, - improving the quality of life, - enabling informed changes in clinical practice and care, - reducing the social and economic burdens of cancer care.
