Filter by:This is an observational, retrospective pharmacovigilance study based on reports registered and transmitted in VigiBase®, the WHO's international database. This study includes all reports identified as exposure to an ICI and suspect of inducing adverse drug reaction. The aim of the study is to characterize immune-related adverse reactions associated with immune-checkpoint inhibitors, particularly their time-to-onset, co-occurence, factors associate with their over-report and fatality.
The aim of the project is to assess the associations between biomarkers of acrylamide and glycidol exposure and disease outcomes in a case-cohort study based on two prospective cohorts with biobanks. The investigators also aim to assess the exposure-affected OMICS signatures and molecular pathways underlying disease development (specifically cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction and stroke and cancer such as breast-, endometrial and colorectal cancer) for these exposures along with persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and per- and polyflouroalkyl substances (PFAS) using a prospective cohort study utilizing and integrating various 'OMICs' technologies.
This is a single center, randomised, double blind, placebo controlled clinical study to assess the safety and tolerability of MBF-118 in healthy volunteers.This clinical phase I trial is divided in two stages and involves, first, a single ascending dose (SAD) study in healthy young male volunteers and then a multiple ascending dose (MAD) study in healthy young men and woman. MBF-118 is developed for the treatment of cancer.
Currently there is a lack of evidence for recommending specific oral supplements (OS) for nutritional support in patients with cancer, including leucine-enriched supplements.
The participants consisted of 1332 caregivers of patients diagnosed with cancer, who applied to Atatürk University Health Research and Application Center, Outpatient Chemotherapy Unit between December 2022 and March 2023. In the power analysis, the sample of the research; According to Cohen, a total of 108 people, 54 of whom were in the experimental group and 54 in the control group, with a medium effect size of 0.5%, an error margin of 0.05% and a confidence interval of 0.95%, were 95% representative of the universe. Against the possibility of data loss, 20% backup sample was included in this number and the study was planned with a total of 124 people, 62 in the experimental group and 62 in the control group. 20 participants were excluded on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. 104 participants formed the sample
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of introducing a new enteral tube feed on health and feeding related quality of life. Secondary aims are to assess ease of use, liking, compliance, gastrointestinal tolerance, nutrient intake, anthropometric changes and safety.
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the safety of Hitachi's Heavy Ion Beam Therapy System HyBEAT for treating patients with solid tumor in Taipei Veterans General Hospital, including patients early-stage adverse reactions and the efficacy on tumors, as well as to assess the operation efficacy of the device.
The primary objective of this study is to examine how exposure to "pinkwashed" alcohol advertisements (i.e., ads that associate the company with breast cancer awareness or charities) affects consumers' perceptions that alcohol increases the risk of breast cancer. The investigators will randomize participants to view 3 'pinkwashed' social media advertisements for alcohol or 3 control advertisements for alcohol (i.e., 'de-pinked' standard alcohol advertisements that match the intervention advertisements on overall design but do not mention breast cancer). Each participant will view the 3 advertisements for their arm (presented in random order) and respond to survey questions programmed in Qualtrics.
Chemotherapy is a treatment that uses natural or synthetic chemicals and biological agents to kill rapidly proliferating cells. As chemotherapeutic drugs prevent the growth and proliferation of cancer cells, they also inhibit the growth of normal cells such as intestinal and oral mucosal epithelium, bone marrow cells, and hair follicle cells. During chemotherapy treatment, which is widely used in the treatment of cancer cases and considered one of the most effective methods of cancer treatment, individuals; may experience side effects such as nausea-vomiting, loss of appetite, mouth ulcers, pain, fatigue, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and changes in their skin and nails. There are several factors that can trigger anxiety in cancer patients: fear of cancer and its treatment-related side effects, fear of relapse after treatment, uncertainty, concerns about changing roles and relationships, and fear of death. Treatment methods are available for a variety of side effects and negative effects experienced by cancer patients. These methods include pharmacological and nonpharmacological approaches. For example, benzodiazepines are frequently used to treat anxiety in cancer patients. If benzodiazepines are not adequate, low-dose antipsychotics can be used. However, benzodiazepines and their derivatives may reduce respiratory function, induce sedation, and cause confusion. Music is an example of non-pharmacological cognitive-behavioral treatment that is used to control negative symptoms in many fields. The use of music for healing is easy, has no side effects, and is beneficial for physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Anxiety and fear can be reduced by therapeutic music, which increases endorphin secretion and positive emotions. Treatment of serious illnesses such as cancer requires a holistic approach that includes psychological, social, and spiritual support in addition to pharmacological treatment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine how different types of music affect cancer patients' anxiety and satisfaction during chemotherapy.
Pain is one of the most prevalent symptoms during and after cancer. Pain can be the consequence of several situations (disease progression, surgery, and anticancer drugs). However, pain can frequently be associated with a substance use disorder (alcohol, tobacco, drugs, and illicit products such as cannabis). The relationship between substance use and pain is known to be complex and interdependent, i.e. pain can reinforce substance use and substance use can promote pain. However, few data in the literature are available on the use of psychoactive substances in relation to pain in the context of cancer (cancer patients and cancer survivors). Moreover, the scientific literature agrees on the fact that these elements are little studied and underestimated in the clinic. The investigators hypothesize that, in cancer patients or cancer survivors, the prevalence of the use of psychoactive substances would be higher in the presence of pain, and would be associated with its intensity and its impact on the quality Health-Related Living (HRQoL). The main objective of this study will be to compare, in an adult population of patients suffering from cancer or having had cancer, the prevalence of the consumption of psychoactive substances in painful patients compared to non-painful patients.
