Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to explore feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of end-of-life conversation game "Hello" as a tool to help individuals with various solid cancer types (including: breast, gastro-intestinal, lung, melanoma, head and neck, and/or genito-urinary cancers) treated at Penn State Health clinics and their loved ones perform advance care planning (ACP). The main questions it aims to answer are: What modifications and/or adaptations are necessary to Hello for use in cancer populations? What impact does participation in Hello event have on health care usage (e.g., number of hospitalizations, ICU admissions, emergency department visits, etc.)? How feasible is it to randomize participants to play either Hello for Cancer or Table Topics? Participants will: - Complete pre-game questionnaires - Play either Hello or Table Topics game - Complete post-game questionnaires - Participate in a focus group - Complete a telephone follow up interview 1-4 months after their event This study is a continuation of NCT06028152.
This is a single-armed, single-centre, non-blinded phase II trial to assess efficacy of induction chemo-immunotherapy for resectable node-positive squamous cell carcinoma of the penis
Patients with genitourinary cancers (ex: bladder, testicular, kidney) are at high risk of developing blood clots if they receive systemic therapy (ex: chemotherapy, immunotherapy). Blood clots cause pain, may require hospitalization and invasive testing, and in some cases cause death. In fact, blood clots are one of the leading causes of death in patients with cancer. Furthermore, patients who develop a blood clot require medication to thin the blood for a prolonged (sometimes indefinite) period of time, and this can disrupt other important cancer treatments. Studies have shown that using low dose blood thinners to prevent blood clots during systemic therapy is effective in some patients with cancer. However very few patients in these studies had genitourinary cancers, therefore physicians in Canada are not sure if recommending blood thinners to patients with genitourinary cancers is useful or safe. Safety is a primary concern because blood thinners may cause bleeding, and patients with genitourinary cancers may have higher risk of bleeding than patients with other types of cancer. The investigators hypothesize that blood thinners are effective and safe for reducing blood clots in patients with genitourinary cancers. The objective of this study is to determine if a large clinical trial testing the effectiveness and safety of low dose blood thinners for preventing blood clots in patients with genitourinary cancers receiving systemic therapy is feasible.
The study aims to compare the diagnostic performance of planar bone scan and two bed SPECT/CT in detection of bone metastases in patients with urogenital cancer.
Anlotinib is a novel oral multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor and primary targeted to VEGFR, FGFR, PDGFR and c-Kit. This study intends to assess the efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with platinum/gemcitabine for first line treatment of advanced urothelial carcinoma.
