An Online Psychosocial Intervention for Fear of Cancer Recurrence in Breast Cancer Survivors
Fear of Cancer RecurrenceBreast CancerA total of 244 breast cancer survivors will be invited to participate in the randomized controlled trial. Breast cancer survivors who meet the inclusion criteria and provide digital informed consent will be included. Participants will be stratified and randomized by the severity of baseline fear of cancer recurrence and time since diagnosis. In the control arm, women will be treated as usual. In the intervention arm, women will be offered a six-weekly, 60 min, online mindfulness and acceptance intervention. An online questionnaire will be used to collect data at four time points: before the first group session, immediately after the intervention, three months, and six months post-intervention. Phone interviews exploring participants' experiences will be held immediately after the intervention with women of the intervention group.
Virtual Reality for GI Cancer Pain to Improve Patient Reported Outcomes
Cancer PainVisceral Pain90 morePatients with digestive tract malignancy often experience severe and unremitting abdominal pain that negatively affects physical, emotional, and social function, as well as health related quality of life (HRQOL). Therapeutic virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a promising and evidence-based treatment modality for cancer pain. Users of VR wear a pair of goggles with a close-proximity screen in front of the eyes that creates a sensation of being transported into lifelike, three-dimensional worlds. To date, VR has been limited to short-term clinical trials for cancer pain. Moreover, limited research exists on theory-based VR modalities beyond mere distraction, such as VR that employs acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) with components of biofeedback and mindfulness. To bridge these gaps, this study seeks to: (1) assess the impact of immersive VR on patient-reported outcomes (PROs), including pain, activity metrics, and opioid use among patients with visceral pain from a digestive tract malignancy; (2) assess differences in PROs, activity metrics, and opioid use between skills-based VR therapy vs. distraction VR therapy; and (3) determine patient-level predictors of VR treatment response in visceral cancer pain. To address these aims, the study will measure PROs and opioid use in 360 patients randomized among 3 groups and follow them for 60 days after enrollment: (1) an enhanced VR group receiving skills-based VR; (2) a distraction-based VR group receiving patient-selected VR videos; and (3) a VR sham control group using a VR headset with 2-D content. The results will inform best practices for the implementation of VR for visceral cancer pain management and guide selection of patient-tailored experiences.
Haloperidol and Lorazepam in Controlling Symptoms of Persistent Agitated Delirium in Patients With...
DeliriumLocally Advanced Malignant Neoplasm2 moreThis phase II/IIII trial studies how well haloperidol and lorazepam work in controlling symptoms of persistent agitated delirium in patients with cancer that has spread to other places in the body undergoing palliative care. Haloperidol and lorazepam may help in controlling symptoms of agitated delirium in patients with cancer and may lessen any distress that their caregivers may be experiencing.
Aerobe Cycling Training in Women With Unexplained Recurrent Pregnancy Loss
Recurrent Pregnancy LossIn 50% of women with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) miscarriages are unexplained, therefore no therapeutic intervention is possible. In a pilot study, women with unexplained RPL showed less endometrial NK cells (eNK) compared to women with a previously uncomplicated pregnancy. It is known that eNK cells are important for embryo implantation during early pregnancy. Investigators presume that high sympathetic activity in these women is related to eNK cell number, function and phenotype and that exercise is an effective intervention to lower sympathetic activity and to influence the immune system, as especially peripheral NK cells have been assumed to be responsive to physical training. The investigators hypothesize that moderate exercise can lower the adrenergic tone of the sympathetic nervous system hereby influencing endometrial NK cells in women with RPL and eventually pregnancy outcome.
Antibody CC-1 in Men With Biochemical Recurrence of Prostate Cancer
Prostate Cancer RecurrentThis trial is a phase I open-label, single center study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of the bispecific prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and cluster of differentiation protein 3 (CD3) antibody CC-1 in men with biochemical recurrence (BCR) of prostate cancer (PC). The PSMA binder in CC-1 reacts with tumor cells and also binds to tumor vessels, thereby allowing for a dual mode of anti-cancer action. CC-1 was developed in a novel format, which not only prolongs serum half-life, but most importantly reduces off-target T-cell activation with accordingly reduced side effects. The study entails a part I (dose escalation part) to identify the maximally tolerated dose of CC-1, which then will be further evaluated in part II of the study (dose expansion part). After application of two low doses as safety steps in the first cycle, CC-1 will be applied twice weekly for three consecutive weeks within 4 week cycles as a short-term intravenous infusion (3 hours). The planned trial ultimately shall define the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of CC-1 in the disease setting of BCR of PC.
Biweekly Follow-Up and At-Home Ultrasound Reduce Anxiety in Women With Recurrent Pregnancy Loss...
Recurrent Pregnancy LossSpontaneous pregnancy loss is a relatively common phenomenon, with 10-15% of clinically recognized pregnancies ending in miscarriage.1 Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a disorder defined by two or more failed pregnancies2. According to various studies, pregnancy loss has been described as a traumatic event for couples even if the loss occurs at a very early stage of pregnancy. Few controlled studies dealt with the effects of the miscarriage on the psychological condition of women during a subsequent pregnancy, 4,6-8. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of "at home ultrasound" in addition to routine prenatal care in reducing maternal anxiety during pregnancy for patients with history of recurrent pregnancy loss. i.
