Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms"

The study concerns a survey of attitudes of the public on issues around personal responsibility for health and the use of financial incentives to promote health in the U.S. and Germany. All data are gathered anonymously through online platforms. Two separate professional panel providers are used for access to members of the public. All participants are people who have voluntarily joined a survey panel in the past through an informed consent process and currently serve as panel members.

The doctors in the Bone Marrow Transplant Service at the Indiana University Cancer Center are working to better understand how the immune cells that cause graft-versus-host disease (a major complication of stem cell transplantation in which the donor immune cells attack the patient's organs) can be selectively removed from the graft, leaving other immune cells that fight infections.

Primary Objectives: To classify the types of wound healing complications that occur after pre-operative radiation therapy and limb sparing resection for the treatment of soft tissue sarcomas of the extremity. To evaluate the impact of each complication type on patient function and quality of life using the Toronto Extremity Salvage Score (TESS).

This research trial studies tissue samples from patients with ovarian cancer in the laboratory. Analyzing tissue samples from patients in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about cancer.

This trial assesses current biomarker testing practices for common solid cancers in precision oncology in the community setting. Cancer biomarkers are used for diagnosing the disease, determining prognosis, predicting response to a targeted therapy, or monitoring response to therapy. Testing quality, including accuracy and timeliness, is imperative for correct disease prognosis and identification of patients who may or may not benefit from a targeted therapy. Assessing current biomarker testing practices may help doctors identify gaps and variations in testing as well as on potential ?best practices? that may be informative and generalizable to community oncology programs.

This study is a regulatory postmarketing surveillance study for Empliciti with a representative sample of the overall Korean multiple myeloma (MM) population.

The purpose of this study is to examine that ability of the experimental oral stent device to reduce the volume of mandible receiving >55 Gy by 50%during radiation treatment as assessed duri radiation treatment planning. Patients will have CT scans at three time-points during their standard of care radiation treatment. During these visits patients will receive scans via CT or cone beam CT scan, with both the standard and experimental oral stent devices. During radiation treatment patients will receive the standard oral stent device.

To describe the T790M mutation status of patients with locally advanced/metastatic NSCLC who progressed on previous EGFR TKI treatment in a real-world setting.

This study assesses feasibility and patient acceptability of using a Fitbit to monitor step count and heart rate in transfusion dependent patients with myelodysplastic syndrome. Information from this study may help researchers understand if there is any correlation between activity level and anemia.

The investigators want to compare the global response rate of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) after six months of treatment with 5-azacitidine on two different doses. First group of 50 mg/m2 for 10 days each 28 days versus 75 mg/m2 for 7 days on 28 days cycles.
