This study seeks to promote clinical trial engagement in African Americans with pancreatic cancer. The first group of people will be interviewed by phone to discuss clinical trials. This information will be used to create a new mobile health app/website. In the second group, half of the participants will receive the new app and half will not. They will both be asked to complete questionnaires after their upcoming doctor visits.
Some female cancers may be genetic, meaning they are passed down from a parent through DNA (our genetic code or roadmap). In people with certain types of ovarian and uterine cancer, it may be helpful to test their DNA for any errors that can cause cancer. There are lots of important pieces of information to share when someone is diagnosed with cancer, and we are exploring a new way to share information. Patients with certain types of ovarian or uterine cancers will watch a short video that explains what genetic testing is and why it is so important. They will fill out a survey about what they think about the video and if the information is helpful.
No guidelines or interventions for patients and their family caregivers exist to support patient adherence to a new medication (venetoclax) and their quality of life. Our research team seeks to understand the real experience and care needs of patients and their family caregivers with the new AML treatment. With the information we learn from this study, we will be able to develop an effective support program for patients with AML and their family caregivers to manage their symptoms at home and improve their quality of life.
The purpose of this research study is to explore the post-treatment barriers faced by adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors to therefore adapt the Needs Assessment and Service Bridge (NA-SB) tool produced by the UNC AYA Cancer Program. You are being asked to take part in a research study because you are an adolescent or young adult who has experienced cancer survivorship.
The main purpose of this clinical research study is to assess the safety, tolerability, efficacy (the ability of the study drug to produce the desired anti cancer effect), PK] and PD of GHF009X2101 the study drug in patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies including AML, CLL, SLL or other lymphomas [including other leukemia].
The DNA that we can test from a nasal swab, can help us determine a patient's lung cancer risk. For patients with new lung nodules found on CT scans, we are offering this nasal swab test and collecting data on how physicians use test results to help assess risk and determine treatment strategies.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the survival outcome of patients with first recurrence of GBM undergoing surgical debulking/resection followed by either implantation of the SC9 device and repeat BBB opening in association with carboplatin chemotherapy or standard of care second line chemotherapy with either lomustine or temozolomide (per best physician's choice and best practice).
The purpose of the study is to determine how the Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network (CPCRN) researchers and their community partners are operationalizing the nine health equity Principles adopted by the network. The examples, acquired through in-depth interviews, will be used to develop a technical assistance toolkit for CPCRN and the general research community.
we will be conducting 60-minute interviews with young adults to hear about social connections (in person and online) and cancer support on social media
The goal of this study is to assess the feasibility of a nutrition program for individuals with cancer who are undergoing treatment. The nutrition program includes counseling from a registered dietitian, food logging, and nutrition symptom tracking.
