Screening tool to collect broader demographic and clinical data. Enhance understanding of site specific and trial specific accrual barriers.
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.
The primary objective of this repository is to make blood samples available for research studies related to histocompatibility and HC transplantation or other cellular therapy.
To create digital tools to support young adult cancer survivors completing active treatment and transitioning into survivorship care.
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).
Research with blood and cells (generally called specimens) can help researchers understand how the human body works. Research can also answer other questions by using specimens. Researchers may develop new tests to find diseases, or new ways to treat diseases. In the future, research may help to develop new products, such as drugs. You are being asked for permission to use your biospecimens and medical records for this study. Using your biospecimens, researchers may be able to detect CAR-T cells in your body after you receive the CAR-T treatment. The purpose of this study is to validate the detection method of CAR-T cells in the blood to advance CAR-T therapy development.
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
Cancer caregivers experience high levels of stress related to the caregiving role, particularly for rural caregivers. The purpose of this study is to assess the acceptability and preliminary effect of enCompass Carolina, a social support program for caregivers of rural-dwelling patients with cancer.
The purpose of this study is to create a registry that will collect clinical data from participants attending UNC Hospitals who may present with metastatic cancer and are evaluated to receive radiation therapy. We hope to create a registry that future studies can pull from to study the impacts of radiation therapy on patient cancer outcomes.
The overall objective of this project is to examine differences in performance fatigability and contributing mechanisms between firefighters in cancer remission and healthy firefighter controls. Findings from this research project will inform future interventions to reduce CRF in firefighters in cancer remission.
