Filter by:This pilot clinical trial studies psycho-educational program in increasing knowledge and satisfaction and decreasing distress in younger patients with cancer receiving treatment. Psycho-educational program may increase knowledge and satisfaction and decrease distress in younger patients with cancer receiving treatment
This randomized phase III trial studies chlorhexidine gluconate cleansing to see how well it works compared to control cleansing in preventing central line associated bloodstream infection and acquisition of multi-drug resistant organisms in younger patients with cancer or undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Chlorhexidine gluconate may help reduce bloodstream infections and bacterial infections associated with the central line.
This clinical trial studies reproductive health program in patients with cancer. A reproductive health program may improve patients' understanding of reproductive risks and receipt of appropriate treatment to achieve their reproductive health goals.
This randomized clinical trial studies collaborative targeted case management in improving functional status in patients with stage III-IV cancer. Collaborative targeted case management may improve functional mobility, improve quality of life, and reduce pain and health care utilization in patients with advanced cancer
This trial studies how well magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) works in detecting heart damage in patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy. Diagnostic procedures, such as MRI, may help doctors predict whether patients will have heart damage caused by chemotherapy in patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy. Exercise Capacity Addendum Brief Summary: This study is designed to demonstrate feasibility of performing the physical activity intervention and the primary outcome measures before, during and six months after initiating Anth-bC for treatment of non- or Hodgkin lymphoma. This study will test the potential for a novel (lifestyle) intervention designed to improve exercise capacity, health-related quality of life and cardiac and cognitive dysfunction. This data will inform the development of the R33 phase of the clinical trial to determine if the physical activity intervention can reduce exercise intolerance in this high-risk population. In addition, cardiac MRI data from individuals within this pilot will be compared to cardiac MRI data from individuals in the parent study that did not undergo either of the two interventional arms of this study.
This phase II trial will examine whether genetically reprogramming a patient's disease fighting white blood cells may build an immune response to kill cancer cells that express the NY-ESO-1 protein. In this study, this genetic therapy will be given during a stem cell transplant along with a vaccine therapy. The vaccine will be made using the NY-ESO-1 protein and may help to stimulate the engineered immune response to tumor cells.
Palonosetron is different from ondansetron because it stays in the body longer and may prevent nausea and vomiting for a longer period of time than ondansetron. It is standard practice to use dexamethasone and aprepitant with either ondansetron or palonosetron to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by highly emetogenic chemotherapy. Although these combinations are commonly used, they have never been compared to each other. The purpose of this study is to record the amount of nausea and vomiting, and the amount of "rescue" medication that is used with these two different anti-emetic regimens
This research is being done to compare the physical and quality of life benefits of two different types of exercise- tai chi versus strength training- for female cancer survivors who have had chemotherapy. Each exercise- tai chi and strength training- will be compared to participants in a group that performs flexibility and relaxation exercises, which is expected to have different benefits than either tai chi or strength training.
This clinical trial studies positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients undergoing PET/computed tomography (CT). Diagnostic procedures, such as PET/MRI, may help doctors diagnose cancer or help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment
This randomized trial studies how well music therapy and parents' education work in improving communication, emotional distress, and recovery in adolescents/young adult patients undergoing treatment for high-risk cancer and their parents. Making a music therapy video may improve communication, emotional distress, and recovery in younger patients undergoing treatment for cancer. It is not yet known whether music therapy and counseling for parents is more effective than information handouts for parents in improving communication and emotional distress in patients undergoing treatment for cancer.
