Filter by:This is a multicenter randomized, open label study to evaluate overall survival with the Bria-IMT regimen in combination with Checkpoint Inhibitor [Retifanlimab], versus Treatment of Patients'/Physicians' Choice (TPC) in advanced metastatic or locally recurrent breast cancer (aMBC) patients with no approved alternative therapies available.
The study aims to find out if community health worker (CHW) support will improve palliative care outcomes in African American patients with advanced cancer, by comparing the quality of life of patients who are receiving standard care to those whose standard care is supplemented with CHW support.
This study is going to use wearable devices and smartphones to collect physical data from terminal patients and build a survival predicting model for terminal patients with machine learning. Investigators hypothesize that continuous physical data monitoring could offer a hint to better predictability in end-of-life care.
Cancer patients with known or newly diagnosed (i.e. iatrogenic) Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in Palliative/Supportive Care will be enrolled. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Patients included in the first group will monitor glucose levels through Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM), using the FreeStyle Libre 2 (FSL2). The second group is represented by the usual standard way for blood glucose (BG) monitoring (lancing device for finger samples). An interim analysis is foreseen when the half of the expected events (hyperglycemic peaks) will be observed. In case the results of interim analysis show superiority of the CGM (FSL2) group patients of the second group will be switched.
The purpose of this study is to develop a novel deep-learning-based survival prediction model employing patient activity data recorded by a wearable device.
To investigate the effect that a Virtual Reality experience can have on patient symptoms and wellbeing for palliative care and oncology inpatients
This study will explore the information needs of patient's with advanced cancer, and their carers, when making a decision to commence or discontinue parenteral nutrition. Interviews will be conducted with both patients with advanced cancer, and their carers to determine the information they need to make a shared decision with the healthcare team.
This study aims to explore deeply the representations and emotional impact of MS on caregivers (doctors and nurses) and relatives of cancer patients. It also aims to describe their collaboration modalities, roles and responsibilities during the decision-making process, implementation and "control" of MS. The project is a multi-center psychosocial study (home, hospitals and palliative care unit) that will take the form of a comprehensive qualitative study, both prospective (participant observation) and retrospective (interview), of patients with and without cancer, for which MS has been administered.
Oral olanzapine showed superior antiemetic efficacy to metoclopramide as rescue treatment to control breakthrough emesis induced by chemotherapy. This study aims to evaluate safety and efficacy of olanzapine for nausea and vomiting in advanced cancer patients.
This study evaluates the effect of a collaborative advance care planning intervention on the quality of life in palliative oncological patients. Research indicates, that talking about wishes for end of life care and death, may improve the quality of life, but can be difficult for involved parties. The intervention especially developed for this study trys to reduce psychosocial barriers that make conversations about these topics difficult. The study will measure the effect of the intervention on patients and caregivers quality of life. The study will give additional information about implementation of advance care planning interventions in different care settings in a complex health care systems.
