Sexual wellbeing is an integral component of psychosocial and physical wellbeing. Cancer-related symptoms, treatment side-effects and psychosocial distress have significant impact on sexual well-being and sexual health. Within the framework of sexual wellbeing, sexual function is defined by a capacity to fully engage in all phases of the human sexual response cycle. Thus, sexual dysfunction is characterized by a disruption in one or more elements of the response cycle. Previous research shows that patients with hematologic malignancies and specifically patients following stem cell transplantation experience a high symptom burden and distinct genital alterations, and therefore in increased risk of sexual dysfunction. In spite of growing evidence documenting high prevalence of sexual dysfunction in cancer patients, patients with hematologic malignancies are underrepresented in clinical trials investigating their sexual health. This study aims to examine the sexual health in patients across hematologic malignancies in Denmark, and to investigate feasiblity and effect of a randomized multimodal intervention by providing nurse-led sexual consultations and physician-led preventive genital examinations, to enhance sexual function and early recognition of gential graft versus host disease in adult patients following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Finally, the study aims to explore perspectives and experiences of patients following this multimodal intervention. This knowledge will entail new opportunities to detect subgroups of patients with distinct risk of sexual dysfunction, and potentially lead to targeted interventions in clinical practice toward this specific population. Moreover this will provide evidence with high methodological rigor and potentially strengthen the possibilities for evidence-based decision making in Denmark regarding preventive gential examinations during follow-up in patients following stem cell transplant.
BioSticker data is remotely tracked and displayed in a report termed the BioReport for retrospective data analysis. Typically, the biosensor collects data on an interval of ~1 minute and this data is collated and reported remotely back to the BioReport every 6 hours. More importantly, for future applications of the BioSticker for early detection of FN, there are ongoing efforts to implement real time reporting and alarms using remote monitoring services that could alert the patient that they need to seek medical care. There are no known deleterious effects from the BioSticker and it is now being widely used and tested in diverse applications including detection and contact tracing of COVID and others.
The main purpose of this research study is to determine if a positive psychology-based program in people who have received a stem cell transplant for blood cancer treatment is feasible and acceptable, and can help improve positive feelings, mood, quality of life, overall wellbeing and health. The Positive psychology for Allogenic Transplantation of Hematopoietic stem cell intervention (PATH), a novel 9-week phone-administered Positive psychological intervention (PPI).
Hospice care at the end of life (EOL) includes a multidisciplinary team that helps patients and families focus on symptom control and quality of life. For patients with "solid" (e.g. lung, breast) cancers it has been shown to improve quality of life for both patients and families. Unfortunately, patients with blood cancers (e.g. leukemia, lymphoma) often delay their enrollment and receive more aggressive care at the EOL. One factor in this delay is the inability for patients to receive blood transfusions while on hospice. Patients with blood cancers often require frequent blood transfusions near the EOL for symptom control. The structure of Medicare hospice benefit makes coverage for transfusions financially unfeasible for hospice agencies, and therefore patients with blood cancers will delay enrollment onto hospice in order to continue to receive blood transfusions. The objective of this study is to evaluate whether removing this financial burden, through external funding of blood transfusions for patients while on hospice, will encourage patients with blood cancers to enroll on hospice earlier and ultimately improve their and their caregivers EOL care.
This study assesses the level of distress felt by cancer patients due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Researchers also want to learn if patients prefer to receive supportive care (palliative care) in person or through telemedicine (visits by phone or video call, such as Zoom). Information from this study may help doctors better understand how COVID-19 has affected patients with advanced cancer, patients' perceptions of telehealth, and may help clinicians tailor care to patients' needs during the pandemic.
Allo-hsct is potentially curative method of treatment for children and adolescent with hematologic malignancy. However, relapses of disease after allo-hsct occur up to 50% of patients and constitute the main cause of mortality after HSCT. Donor lymphocytes infusion (DLI) is a form of immunotherapy based on developement of reaction "graft versus from leukemia". This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of risk-adapted srtategy of DLI for prophylaxis and prevention posttransplant relapses in children and adolescent with hematologic malignancy.
The purpose of the study is to determine the safety and tolerability of pembrolizumab/vibostolimab (MK-7684A) in hematological malignancies. This study will also evaluate the overall response rate (ORR), the duration of response (DOR), and disease control rate (DCR) following administration of pembrolizumab/vibostolimab. In addition, this study will characterize pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of vibostolimab (MK-7684).
This clinical trial studies the usefulness and process of a multidisciplinary intervention, where patients see multiple healthcare professionals, aimed at improving fitness and the ability to bounce back after transplant for older adults with blood cancers planned for stem cell transplantation. Using a multidisciplinary team approach may increase patients' ability to withstand the transplant by optimizing health to better prepare patients for the expected complications after stem cell transplantation.
The purpose of this study is to examine whether nature-based activities provide benefits for breast cancer survivors. The investigators want to know whether a nature-based exercise program is feasible. Women who were diagnosed with breast cancer and have completed cancer treatment will be recruited for the main study. The main study will enroll up to 20 breast cancer subjects in total. This intervention will also include a sub-study examining the same outcomes among adolescents and young adult (AYA) subjects who were diagnosed with cancer (any type) and have completed cancer treatment. The sub-study will enroll up to 20 AYA (ages 18-39) subjects.
