Filter by:Background: People who receive an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) require long-term care at home afterwards. Their caregivers often experience high levels of stress, which can lead to symptoms such as depression, anxiety, poor sleep, fatigue, and difficulties with concentration and memory. Objective: To explore whether a nature-based immersive virtual reality (VR) program helps reduce stress in people who care for HSCT patients. Eligibility: People aged 18 and older who are primary caregivers of HSCT patients. Design: This is a two-phase study. Participants will be enrolled for 4 weeks. They will have 2 clinic visits. Participants will have a physical exam at the beginning of the study. They will be asked to provide a saliva sample in Phase 1, and saliva and blood samples in Phase 2. Participants will be given a VR headset. This is a device that looks like a pair of goggles worn over the eyes. They will be asked to wear the headset for 20 minutes per day. They will see 360 (Infinite) high-definition videos of nature and hear nature sounds. Participants will record the time they spend using the VR headset in a daily diary. They will take surveys with questions about any stress and symptoms they feel once a week. This will take up to 5 minutes. Participants will have a short regular follow-up visit by phone one week after starting their participation. At the end of the intervention study, participants will return for another physical exam. They will give saliva and/or blood samples again. Researchers will also look at the medical records of the HSCT patients; the HSCT patients must consent to this. ...
This is Phase 1/Phase 2, open label, multiple cohort, first-in-human study to evaluate safety, PK, PDy and efficacy of SAR444200 as a monotherapy or in combination with other anti-cancer agents for participants aged at least 18 years with previously treated metastatic malignancies.
This study allows head and neck cancer surgeons to specifically visualize cancerous cells apart from normal healthy tissue. 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) is a safe and effective FDA-approved agent successfully used by neurosurgeons for FGS of different brain tumors is given to the patients preoperatively. Using specific wavelengths of light as well as specialized magnified lenses the surgeons use this technique to assist in tumor resection.
The study will enroll advanced cancer patients with unresectable or metastatic disease who are refractory to or are not candidates for standard approved therapy. The study will be comprised of two parts - a dose escalation phase (Part 1) and a dose optimization/expansion phase (Part 2). Part 1 is comprised of three sub-parts: SAR444881 administered alone (Sub-Part 1A), SAR444881 administered in combination with pembrolizumab (Sub-Part 1B), and SAR444881 administered in combination with cetuximab (Sub-Part 1C). Part 2 is composed of two sub-parts: a dose optimization part where up to two doses of SAR444881 per indication are administered in combination with pembrolizumab, cetuximab, and/or carboplatin and pemetrexed (Sub-Part 2A); and a dose expansion part where SAR444881 is administered alone (Sub-Part 2B). In Sub-Part 2A, a two-stage design will be implemented to conduct dose optimization for each indication with combination therapy- Stage 1 (Preliminary Assessment) and Stage 2 (Randomization). Study is non-randomized except Stage 2 of Sub-Part 2A which will use randomization.
Studies have demonstrated that the use of a procalcitonin (PCT)-guided algorithm in combination with clinical judgment was associated with reduced antibiotic use without impacting mortality or treatment failure. Though several studies have evaluated the use of PCT in critically ill patients, there are limited studies that evaluated PCT in patients with cancer and many of the currently available studies have excluded immune-compromised patients. This is a randomized controlled trial that aims to evaluate the impact of a procalcitonin-guided algorithm on antibiotic utilization in critically ill cancer patients with sepsis. In addition, the study aims to evaluate the predictive value of PCT for predicting mortality and positive cultures.
This is a prospective, non-randomized clinical trial that aims to describe the efficacy and toxicity of commercially available, targeted anticancer drugs* prescribed for treatment of patients with advanced cancer with a potentially actionable variant as revealed by a genomic or protein expression test. The study also aims to simplify patient access to approved targeted therapies that are contributed to the program by collaborating pharmaceutical companies and to perform next generation sequencing on tumor biopsies for biomarker analyses. Eligible patients have an advanced solid tumor, multiple myeloma or B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma for which standard treatment options are no longer available and acceptable performance status and organ function. A genomic or protein expression test must have been performed on the tumor and the results must identify at least one potentially actionable molecular variant as defined in the protocol. Results from the molecular profiling test will be used to determine an appropriate drug(s) from among those available in the protocol. The choice of drug will be supported by a list of potential profiles, a molecular tumor board, a knowledge library and by study coordinators for review and approval of the match. The protocol-specified treatment will be administered to the patient once any drug-specific eligibility criteria are confirmed and a fresh pre-treatment biopsy is performed for future genetic studies. All patients who receive treatment with a drug available in the protocol will be followed for standard efficacy outcomes including tumor response, progression-free and overall survival as well as duration of treatment. In addition, treatment related toxicity will be evaluated.
Therapeutic education is an effective way to support the prescription of oral chemotherapy in oncology. It aims to increase adherence to treatment, to better control the side effects and reduce unplanned readmissions. The three major oncology institutions in the Rhône-Alpes region (Hospices Civils de Lyon, the Centre Léon Bérard Cancer Institute and Lucien Neuwirth) decided to collaborate on a project to implement an adapted Therapeutic Education Program context of each of these institutions. The objective of this study is to evaluate the implementation of the intervention in the 3 participating centers, over 1 year: 1. Assess the achievement of the target population 2. Evaluate the adaptation of intervention in context 3. Evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention (impact): effectiveness in real life, identification of interactions with the environment linked to the center, identification of unintended effects of the intervention. 4. Assessing the sustainability of the intervention
The purpose of this research study is to understand if platelets in the blood become more active during cancer and specially advanced stages of cancer, in the future the investigators want to see if reducing platelet activity can improve survival in advanced cancer.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of an early postoperative physical rehabilitation program on the functional capacity and incidence of postoperative complications in patients undergoing major elective surgery for treatment of a neoplasm
The purpose of this study is to investigate if food supplements,Antrodia cinnamomea, could minimize the gastrointestinal symptom of cancer patients with chemotherapy.
