Multi-Center Randomized Controlled Phase II Trial of Exercise to Treat Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN)

Purpose:This is a two-arm preliminary efficacy RCT in 120 participants testing a 6-week home-based walking and progressive resistance exercise program (EXCAP©®) vs. standard care on CIPN, interoception, and inflammation. Participants: This study will enroll 120 participants receiving neurotoxic chemotherapy or have completed neurotoxic chemotherapy in the past nine months (i.e., taxane-, platinum-, vinca alkaloid-, epothilone-, or proteasome inhibitor-based chemotherapy). Procedures (methods): Participants will complete questionnaires, clinical assessments, and a blood draw at two time points: pre-intervention (week 0, T1) and post-intervention (approximately week 6, T2).

Interviews with breast medical oncologists about discussing prognosis and using a prognostic tool

Our team developed a calculator to help oncologists better estimate prognosis in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Using this information, our team developed a prognostic calculator to predict risk of death within 30 days for patients with MBC. For this information to impact care, it will have to be used in clinical practice. In order to increase the likelihood of successful adoption of the calculator into clinical practice, we will study its implementation and evaluate its impact. In this study, we will seek the input of doctors, nurses, and advance practice providers who care for patients with MBC to better understand the factors that encourage and dissuade discussion of prognosis and use of such a prognostic tool.

Prostate cancer care with or without gene testing

The Gut Microbiome in Recipients of CAR-T Cell Therapy

The purpose of this study is to understand how your gut plays a role in how well CAR T cell therapy works. Your gut is home to bacteria, which we call the gut microbiome. The gut microbiome can send signals to your immune cells, which may impact how well and how long CAR T cell therapy will last. We can find out what type of bacteria are in your gut microbiome by studying your stool. We can understand more about the signals sent to the immune system by studying your blood. We will ask for stool and blood at the same time points throughout your treatment. We will study the identities and function of the bacteria and immune cells to understand more about how these signals work during CAR T cell treatment.

Bladder cancer study with EG-70

This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of EG 70, a gene therapy, which is given inside the bladder, and its effectiveness on eliminating bladder tumors in patients with NMIBC who have failed BCG therapy and have been recommended to have their bladder removed. Giving the study drug inside the bladder is to expose cells in the lining of the bladder, including your cancerous cells, to genes that may cause an immune response inside the bladder and kill the tumor cells.
