Cardiovascular disease, the number one leading cause of death in the United States, is highly prevalent in cancer survivors. Physical activity can reduce risk, and referrals to programs addressing survivors' choices are highly recommended from providers in cancer survivorship, though rarely implemented. The study team proposes to develop ActivityChoice, a clinic-based implementation program, using patient narrative decision aids to support choices to a group in-person, group virtual, or self-monitored digital health physical activity program.
We will conduct a randomized controlled trial to test a 4-session virtual health insurance navigation intervention that will increase knowledge about health insurance, reduce financial burden, and improve surveillance for recurrence among 300 young adult cancer survivors ages 26 to 39. We will combine self-reported survey data with electronic health records and claims data to examine the trial outcomes and efficacy. We will also conduct an economic evaluation using cost-effectiveness and budget impact analyses, to establish the sustainability of the intervention at improving outcomes of young adult survivors through increasing their health insurance knowledge and decreasing their financial burden.
This is a prospective randomized clinical trial evaluating how behaviorally-informed outreach text messages impact patient engagement with primary care. This prospective randomized control trial is being implemented in conjunction with UCLA Health's larger quality improvement initiative (the My Action Plan Quality Improvement Initiative) in order to improve primary care preventive measure completion rates.

'Distress' refers to emotional distress, including psychological distress, in cancer patients. This study aims to explore whether mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral therapy for cancer patients is effective in relieving distress and to discover neurophysiological factors that contribute to relieving distress. Mindfulness meditation, which is the core of mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy, can develop cognitive flexibility through 'awareness of what is happening now'. In this study, a mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy program is implemented for patients with advanced cancer, and clinical characteristics and conditions including distress level are observed through questionnaires and interviews. In addition, genetic data and brain imaging data are collected through blood sampling and brain magnetic resonance imaging. The ultimate goal of this study is to prove the therapeutic efficacy of a mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy program for distress of patients with advanced cancer through an in-depth and multifaceted integrated approach, and to understand the related neurophysiological mechanisms.
This is a basket trial of neoantigen synthetic long peptide vaccines in patients with advanced malignancy. Up to 20 subjects will be treated with the neoantigen synthetic long peptide vaccines.
The RESTORE extension study is a non-interventional, long-term follow-up study with people who participated in the study referred to as RESTORE (NCT05227898). The purpose of this extension study is to understand the durability of the effects of two digital software devices on anxiety and other indicators of psychological and physical health in participants of the RESTORE study in the 6-months after study completion. Subjects who were enrolled and not withdrawn from the original RESTORE study are eligible to participate. People who consent to participate will be asked to electronically complete a set of questionnaires at 3 months and 6 months following the scheduled date of their RESTORE end-of-study visit.
Since the discovery of SGLT2 inhibitors, there is a great shift in diabetic treatment, so this drug is magic, this drug can reduce the blood sugar level by blocking the reabsorption of glucose in the kidney and increasing glucose excretion the first discovery by Josef von Mering who discovered the glucosuric effect of phlorizin. Phlorizin is the progenitor of contemporary SGLT2 inhibitors, the FDA did not consider the work of Baron Josef von Mering, since he had already discovered acidosis following the administration of phlorizin in 1888. Now SGLT2 inhibitors are used widely and even for heart failure without diabetes as this drug is useful and with lower risk of death from observational studies The 2008 FDA guidance had a major impact on the cardiovascular (CV) risk assessment of recently approved antidiabetic drugs, many trials were done on SGLT2 inhibitors like the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial, the CANVAS trial program, MACE these groups have CVS benefits and also renal benefits as regards, we suspect long-term benefits and immunity aspect these groups play an important role in cancer incidence from meta-analysis and systematic review, suggests that SGLT2 inhibition results in a reduction of inflammatory markers like interleukin-6 in animal models, further validating the suggested anti-inflammatory mechanism of action.
The Genetic Information and Family Testing (GIFT) Study is designed to support the capacity, opportunity, and motivation of cancer patients to engage their relatives about inherited cancer susceptibility and provide support and services to those relatives to initiate GRE (including genetic testing) and prepare them to subsequently engage their clinicians in informed decision-making about cancer prevention and early detection.
