Filter by:The objective of this Prospective, randomized, non inferiority phase III trial is to confirm the efficacy and saftey of dexamethasone-sparing combined with netupitant/palonostron and olanzapine for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in patients receiving highly emetogenic chemotherapy.
BASiC-CIC Trial is a multicenter, double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial to investigate whether repurposing colchicine or a combination of beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, and statins will be effective as a prophylactic treatment for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy, reduction of major adverse cardiovascular events, and all-cause mortality.
The Chrysalis Initiative (TCI) has with its technology partner Eversana/Intouch developed the BC-Navigate website/application to help guide women through care delivery during breast cancer treatment. TCI a nonprofit, breast cancer education and navigation organization is developing methods to address health inequities in cancer care delivery. TCI and its new academic/clinical partner, The Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University, propose to apply TCI's developed patient navigation support techniques to enhance knowledge and self-advocacy among a cohort of Black and African American women, and other women of color (WOC), receiving care in Northwestern's breast cancer program. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to apply TCI's patient navigation-and-coaching program and its website/mobile app (Breast Cancer-Navigate) platform to improve timely initiation to patient adjuvant treatment among WOC breast cancer patients and evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of this approach.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about breast cancer patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does Aerobic Dance During Chemotherapy Improve Cognitive Function in Breast Cancer Patients？ - Does the efficacy of aerobic dance differ from fast walking of equal intensity？ Recruited patients will be randomly assigned to three groups: (1) aerobic dance group, (2) fast walking group, and (3) usual care group. The aerobic dance and fast-walking groups participated in supervised exercise lasting 50 minutes thrice a week for 12 weeks. The goal of this study's findings is to develop practical strategies for managing breast cancer-related cognitive impairment.
a three-arm head-to-head randomized clinical trial assessing two of the promising studied interventions, low-level diode laser and topical Chamomile, comparing them to each other's and to conventional therapy in the management of oral mucositis-induced chemotherapy.
To learn if peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) can help to improve pain in participants with CIPN.
Chemotherapy is an important treatment strategy for gynecological malignancies, such as ovarian cancer, advanced endometrial cancer, cervical cancer. Chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CIT) is one of the most common chemotherapy-related hematologic toxicities and can increase the risk of bleeding, prolong hospital stays, increase healthcare costs, and, in severe cases, death. It can lead to a reduction in the intensity of chemotherapy doses, delay the next cycle of chemotherapy, or even termination of treatment, thereby affecting the antitumor effect and adversely affecting the long-term survival of these patients. Literature and our data show that when patients develop grade II or worse CIT, the incidence of grade II and above CIT after the next cycle of chemotherapy is 85-92%. Hetrombopag is one of the thrombopoietin receptor agonist (TPO-RA) that has been studied to explore its role in the treatment and prevention of CIT in multiple solid tumors. In order to find out the secondary prevention efficacy of CIT, it is planned to carry out this single-arm prospective study by recruiting 48 patients with gynecological malignancies with grade II CIT or above after chemotherapy, whose platelets has returned to normal after the routine clinical intervention, and then plan to have the next cycle of chemotherapy. The intervention strategy is taking hetrombopag 5mg/day within 24 hours after chemotherapy, then observe the incidence rate of grade II CIT. The endpoint of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of hetrombopag for preventing CIT in patients with gynaecological malignancies.
The purpose of this study is to test a randomized, controlled diet and physical activity intervention designed to be simple and address barriers to participation in lifestyle intervention among 16 urinary bladder cancer patients. Aim 1 is to test the feasibility and acceptability of a novel, peri-operative lifestyle intervention, "The Boost Box", among bladder cancer patients receiving cystectomy with or without neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. Aim 2 is to measure the feasibility of collecting data on the intervention effects on complication rate, nutritional status, weight loss, and quality of life post-surgery among bladder cancer patients receiving cystectomy ± neoadjuvant therapy. Secondarily, we will determine the magnitude of association between study group and outcomes to inform power calculations in a future, well-powered trial. Participants will: - attend two dietetic consultations at baseline and post-surgical recovery where nutritional status will be evaluated with patient-generated subjective global assessment (PG-SGA) - complete baseline questionnaires (TCC, FACT-BI-Cys, Short 2012, FAACT, Godin) - receive weekly BOOST boxes - complete pre-surgery weekly BOOST check ins - complete post-surgery weekly BOOST check ins - complete an ASA food recall pre and post-surgery - complete an exercise familiarization consult - record weekly resistance and aerobic exercise performed at home - complete a 6 month follow-up questionnaire - receive compensation Researchers will compare to a Usual Care group to determine differences that could be attributed to the BOOST Box intervention.
To explore the efficacy and safety of hetrombopag for secondary prevention of thrombocytopenia caused by XPO-1 inhibitor Selinexor combined with chemotherapy in patients with lymphoma.
Paclitaxel induced peripheral neuropathy is the most common and serious side effect associated with Paclitaxel treatment in breast cancer patients receiving Paclitaxel. The efficacy of antioxidant molecules as neuroprotective strategies to preventing the development of peripheral neuropathy has been investigated in preclinical and clinical studies. Vitamin E and Glutathione have been explored as adjuvant therapies to preventing taxane-induced peripheral neuropathy. Other tested neuroprotective treatments with limited success include amifostine, glutamine and acetyl l-carnitine. Curcumin's antioxidant capacity is similar to other potent antioxidants, such as trolox (a vitamin E analog). Curcumin inhibits lipid peroxidation in different tissues, regulates intracellular levels of antioxidant enzymes (e.g., catalase, glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase) and is an effective intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger. The investigators are going to investigate the neuroprotective effect of Curcumin against Paclitaxel induced peripheral neuropathy.
