Filter by:This study is to collect and validate regulatory-grade real-world data (RWD) in oncology using the novel, Master Observational Trial construct. This data can be then used in real-world evidence (RWE) generation. It will also create reusable infrastructure to allow creation or affiliation with many additional RWD/RWE efforts both prospective and retrospective in nature.
Prospective, monocentric study evaluating the impact of a nurse-led sexological follow-up on sexual function in patients with cervix or vaginal cancer treated by radiotherapy and brachytherapy. The study procedure will consist of nurse-led sexological consultations, beginning before brachytherapy and until 2 months after brachytherapy. Evolution of female sexual function and vaginal symptoms will be done through clinical examinations and completion of quality of life and female sexual function questionnaires during radiation oncologist consultation and/or nurse-led sexological consultations until one year after end of brachytherapy. Study participation of each patient will be 12 months.
To evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the 9-valent Human Papillomavirus (Types 6, 11, 16, 18,31,33,45,52 and 58) Recombinant Vaccine (Hansenula Polymorpha) in Chinese Female Subjects Aged 9-45 Years.
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to demonstrate that a nurse-led sexual rehabilitation intervention significantly improves sexual recovery and functioning among gynaecological cancer (GC) patients treated with radiotherapy (RT), compared with usual care (i.e., oral information by a nurse or doctor and written information). Women with GC (n=220) who receive RT in one of the participating Dutch GC centres (n=9) will be randomized to either the sexual rehabilitation intervention (n= 110) or usual care (n= 110), stratified for combined RTBT vs. RT alone, and for having a partner (yes/no). Women are eligible for participation if they: have been diagnosed with either cervical, endometrial, or vaginal cancer; are treated with radiotherapy; are 18 years or older; and wish to retain their sexual activity on the short or long term. The intervention consists of four one-hour sessions at 1 month, 3, 6, and 12 months after RT. Women who received RTBT will receive an additional appointment with the nurse (2 months after RTBT) to promote regular use of vaginal dilators in order to prevent stenosis. Participants are requested to complete questionnaires at baseline and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-RT. The primary endpoint is sexual functioning at 12 months. Secondary endpoints include vaginal symptoms and body concerns, fear of coital and non-coital sexual activity, sexual distress, treatment-related distress, generic health-related quality of life, psychological distress, and relationship dissatisfaction. Hypothesis: The investigators expect women who receive the nurse-led sexual rehabilitation programme to report a greater improvement in sexual functioning from immediate post-radiotherapy to 1 year post-radiotherapy than women in the control group.
The project aims to increase HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening through a web-based mobile health education program called, Wheel of Wellness (WoW) and a brief negotiated interview (BNI). The in-person BNI and WoW system will provide educational resources for participants and their families to learn more about HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening.
This study will assess the safety and immunogenicity of GARDASIL®9 (V503) in 16- to 45-year-old women. The primary hypothesis of the study states that anti-HPV 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 geometric mean titers (GMTs) at 4 weeks postdose 3 are non-inferior in adult women as compared with GMTs in young adult women.
This research is being done to evaluate multimodality imaging, including magnetic resonance imaging-guided therapy (MRT), as a possible treatment for gynecologic cancers. The therapy takes place in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Johns Hopkins SKCCC. The purpose of this study is to investigate the ability of MRI to successfully guide the placement of the brachytherapy applicator necessary to treat participants' gynecologic cancer. The Investigators want to see if the use of MRI will do a better job of assessing the tumor at the time of brachytherapy than the routinely used CT scan. The Investigators also want to determine if the use of MRI will enable doctors to reduce the radiation dose received by the body during the process of treating the tumor.
The primary objective of this pilot study is to determine whether or not it is feasible to use MRgHIFU to treat symptomatic (pain, bleeding) recurrent pelvic malignancy with an acceptable safety profile when conventional treatment options are not available. The ultimate goal is to be able not only to offer a viable method of symptom palliation in patients with recurrent pelvic tumours and improve their quality of life; but also to control tumour growth and extend life in a group of relatively young patients with isolated local recurrence.
Protocol V503-021 is a long-term follow-up study of the V503-001 base study (NCT00543543) to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and long-term effectiveness of V503 vaccine in preventing cervical cancer and related precancers caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58. Because of the high retention of V503-001 participants from the Nordic countries, and the highly efficient screening and surveillance system there, study V503-021 will evaluate only participants from V503-001 sites in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. The hypothesis is that V503 vaccine will remain effective for at least 30 years after the start of vaccination.
Women affected by gynaecologic cancers are often not aware of sexual consequences of cancer and its treatment. Most do not receive appropriate advice or help to recover sexual function, and the impact on their sexuality may be profound. Despite this several potential therapies can be effective in helping recovery. A major challenge is informing and involving the patients in an appropriate and sensitive manner, and a further issue is the delivery of such therapies in busy and medically driven gynaecologic oncology clinics. It will use and adapt existing evidence based therapies for improving sexual function after cancer treatment and develop a model for delivering these in the NHS (United Kingdom National Health Service) setting. The model of 'stepped care' is adapted from that used nationally and successfully in the Increasing Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programme. Assessment allows for 'stepping up and down', i.e. calibrating the type of help a woman receives according to need and her response to treatment already given.This study will develop and evaluate a 'stepped' system of interventions using elements of best available evidence, adapting existing interventions to help women recover their sexual feelings and activity, starting with simple methods, moving on to new talking treatments for more complex cases. The investigators address all gynaecologic cancers on the principle that sexual difficulty is the problem the investigators are treating, not the cancer of origin. Ongoing clinical assessment will be vital for the success of the stepped care model. The investigators will deliver training and supervision to enhance the skills needed by the Clinical Nursing Specialist (CNS). An important part of this study will be characterising the range of women and their willingness to participate in psychosexual help. One-to-one follow up interviews will inform the level of input required for any subsequent Randomised Control Trial (RCT). The investigators will use internationally recognised rating scales for rating sexual function, assess how illness and treatment affect mood and self esteem. The investigators will also measure the overall cost-effectiveness to the public sector of providing this treatment, compared to costs of subsequent use of health and social services. This pilot study will assess the feasibility of conducting a full scale investigation of a stepped therapy and indicate the potential benefits to the patients, their partners, and to the NHS generally.
