Screening tool to collect broader demographic and clinical data. Enhance understanding of site specific and trial specific accrual barriers.
This study seeks to better understand the unmet needs and care preferences of young adult cancer patients and their caregivers. Interviews to gather this information will be used to tailor an existing, evidence-based patient navigation program to these needs and preferences.
To create digital tools to support young adult cancer survivors completing active treatment and transitioning into survivorship care.
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 purpose of this study is to identify specific barriers to preventing a late stage cancer diagnosis within communities identified in North Carolina as having a higher rate of advanced cancer diagnoses.
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).
The purpose of this study is to explore etentamig (ABBV-383) and its safety and tolerability as a monotherapy or combined with other anti-myeloma agents. This study aims to determine the safest dose of etentamig and if it produces meaningful anti-myeloma activity for participant with multiple myeloma (MM).
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.
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.
This study seeks to understand how best to increase knowledge about clinical trials, best way of communicating information about clinical trials, and suggestions for improving clinical trial participation particularly among African Americans (AA).
