Filter by:This study is designed to provide continuous access to treatment with bintrafusp alfa for eligible participants from ongoing bintrafusp alfa parent studies (NCT02517398, NCT03840902, NCT02699515, NCT04246489, NCT04489940, NCT03840915, NCT03631706, NCT04551950, NCT03833661 and NCT04066491) and to collect long-term safety and efficacy data. Study Duration: All participants in this rollover study will be treated with bintrafusp alfa until meeting defined criteria in the protocol for discontinuation, until study intervention is commercially accessible and provisioned via marketed product, or until end of study. The study also includes a 5 years survival follow-up after last dose of the study treatment. Treatment Duration: Treatment under the rollover protocol according to the interval and dosing schedule in the parent protocol until discontinuation.
Our central hypothesis is that patient response to treatment, evaluated by full spectrum of outcome measures including tumor control, survival, toxicity, and quality of life (QoL), will correlate with biomarker expressions, which can be tested in the blood, other body fluid, imaging as well as tumor tissue (if available).
To compare the effect of low intensity aerobic exercise and active ROM exercises on cancer related fatigue and its associated symptoms and quality of life in cancer patients receiving palliative care.
The current standard of care for molecular characterization of tumors is tissue based next generation sequencing (NGS) panel. Liquid biopsies (ie blood) are of increasing interest and have been implemented as a diagnostic tool in some countries. This study compares tissue based and liquid based testing to evaluate the detection rate and cost consequence of using this new tool in BC.
The purpose of this study is to develop and pre-test an eHealth group intervention for young adult cancer survivors.
The purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between brain malignancy volume as defined by post-contrast T1 weighted and F18 Fluciclovine before and following LITT. We hypothesize that imaging with F18 Fluciclovine will be superior to anatomic MR imaging in lesion volume assessment before treatment and that residual F18 Fluciclovine defined tumor will predict local post-LITT disease recurrence.
This is a drug study that will examine if inhaled tranexamic acid can improve mortality in patients with cancer-related pulmonary hemorrhage and respiratory failure as compared to usual care.
Current guidelines recommend all people with cancer-related pain should be prescribed paracetamol, even those receiving high doses of strong pain killers (opioids) such as morphine. Although this has been shown in studies to be beneficial in other conditions, for instance dental work and after surgery, it has not been shown to further improve pain in people with cancer-related pain. Taking tablets is burdensome to patients and the study aims to determine whether the inconvenience of taking eight extra paracetamol tablets per day can be justified. The study plans to show whether or not pain control is changed (non-inferior) when stopping paracetamol compared to continued use of paracetamol in people already taking strong pain killers for cancer-related pain. Voluntary participants who are taking a combination of paracetamol and a strong opioid are recruited to the study.
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancer diseases, globally and locally. Several health benefits of increased physical activity (PA) have been reported for people with cancer. PA plays a critical role across the cancer trajectory, from prevention through to post-diagnosis and has been proposed as an alternative for improving physical and psychosocial health outcomes, reducing cancer recurrence, and cancer-specific and all-cause mortality. Although there are a variety of exercise intervention programs for cancer patients, those programs were quite intensive, requiring individuals to commit extra time and effort. Feeling of overwhelmed appointments, lack of time, other barriers, including high cost and limited access to facilities are the most frequently reported barriers that prevent people from starting and maintaining exercise. Hence, the investigators propose to use a brief messaging lifestyle modification intervention program to incorporating simple and easy-to-do patient-centred home-based lifestyle-integrated exercise into daily activities of patients with lung cancer. The aims are to explore the feasibility of using instant messaging to enhance physical activity and improve their fatigue, emotion and quality of life, and obtain feedback from patients for intervention and study design improvement.
This is a single-site cluster-randomized trial to assess efficacy and implementation outcomes of deprescribing interventions in 72 older adults with polypharmacy (PP) and curable cancers initiating chemotherapy. Oncologists (as the cluster) will enroll 6 patients each and will be randomized to either a pharmacist-led deprescribing intervention or patient education intervention. Initial focus groups with oncologists, nurses, pharmacists, primary care physicians, and patients will provide data for initial adaptations to the pharmacist-led intervention arm, and 8 patients will be enrolled as a pre-trial cohort to further refine and adapt the pharmacist-led intervention.
