Filter by:The goal of the observational study is to learn how black and white patients with solid tumor cancer use cannabis, opioids and tobacco. The investigators are using momentary ecological assessment through a smart phone app and surveys to assess patient-reported pain and other symptoms as to inform clinical practice and guidelines for underrepresented populations.
This is a prevention intervention study that will examine the efficacy of a smartphone-based intervention in decreasing cancer risk by targeting mental health risk factors of anxiety and depression.
the investigators propose an interdisciplinary intervention, carried out by occupational therapists, nurses, physiotherapists and doctors specialised in this type of patient, aimed at improving conventional clinical practice and implementing a programme of functional re-education and environmental adaptation that implements conventional clinical practice, and which the investigators also consider to be an essential intervention in the follow-up of patients with associated respiratory pathology once they are discharged from hospital.
Hypoxia is a known factor for resistance to radiotherapy in tumors. Response to transarterial radioembolization is known to be variable between different patients even if the same dose of radiation was delivered. In this study the investigators aim to quantify the hypoxia in the primary and secondary tumors of liver with 18F-FMISO PET before radioembolization and to prove any effect of the hypoxia, if present, on the dose that should be delivered to tumor to ensure treatment response.
The research is planned as a randomized controlled trial. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: [question 1]: Does the inhaler effect of music and aromatherapy applied to palliative care patients have an effect on pain, anxiety and vital signs? The individuals in the research group are divided into four groups as music group, aromatherapy group, music and aromatherapy and control group. . Before and at the end of the intervention, data collection tools [Patient Description Form, Visual analog scale,face anxiety scale, Distress Thermometer, Edmonton Symptom Scale] will record the characteristics of pain, anxiety and vital parameters. Patient Identification Form: It is a questionnaire that includes sociodemographic characteristics (gender, age, educational status, income status, employment status and occupation) and questions about the disease, created by the researchers by scanning the literature.
Circadian rest-Activity Rhythm disorders (CARDs) are common in patients with cancer, particularly in advanced disease. CARDs are associated with increased symptoms, poorer quality of life, poorer response to anticancer treatments and shorter survival. The goal of this observational study is to see how common CARDs are in patients with advanced cancer and to characterise their rest and activity patterns in more detail. A recent study has outlined a standard way to assess and diagnose a CARD. This study aims to assess patients with advanced cancer for a CARD using a novel screening tool against this newly formed diagnostic criteria. Potentially modifiable risk factors will be considered along with associations between CARDs and symptoms, sleep preferences, sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, quality of life measures and predictors of survival.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are largely prescribed in a growing number of cancer diseases and at earlier stages (non metastatic cancer). Among immune-related adverse events, (iRAEs), the incidence of major cardiovascular events due to atherosclerosis reaches 13% at one year in patients at high risk. To the best of our knowledge, the mechanisms of this acceleration of atherosclerosis have not been studied to this date. The VICKI study aims at furthering our knowledge on the mechanisms of atherosclerotic plaque instability by means of a prospective single-centre pilot study, by comparing: - surrogate markers of clinical vasculo-toxicity with arterial Doppler (flow mediated reserve) as defined by the International Cardio-Oncology Society; - circulating biomarkers Before and after receiving ICIs for solid cancer treatment.
This study is a multisite, minimal risk, non-interventional study using patient electronic health record data collected as part of standard of care to answer cohort-based research questions and create robust real-world data sets.
This is a first-in-human (FIH), open label Phase 1/1b study in patients with advanced metastatic solid tumors refractory to standard treatment. Phase 1 will identify potential optimal biologically relevant doses (OBRD) and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of MBRC-101 at one 1 or more dosing regimens. Phase 1b will evaluate the safety and preliminary clinical activity of MBRC-101 at potential OBRDs. Phase 1 and Phase 1b will both characterize single and multiple-dose PK profiles and evaluate incidence and persistence of anti-MBRC-101 Ab.
The main purpose of this research study is to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of patient- and nurse-directed strategies across in-clinic and remote patient reported outcome (PRO) monitoring settings, using a three-arm pragmatic cluster randomized controlled trial. Additionally, the goal is to evaluate moderators of implementation effects on PRO monitoring. Eligible patients will be randomized independently to: (1) usual practice (i.e., encounter-based PRO administration via patient portal or tablet); (2) encounter-based PRO monitoring with patient reminders and nurse alerts; or (3) remote PRO monitoring with patient reminders and nurse alerts. The investigators hypothesize that nudges to patients and alerts to nurses will improve patient-level PRO completion and clinician-level PRO engagement.
