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).

LCC Warnings - Representative Survey

In Aim 1, we will use existing research and expert review to develop new text and pictorial LCC warnings and test the new warnings using online experiments to identify warnings that adult LCC users perceive as most effective. The proposed study will fill critical gaps regarding which characteristics make LCC warning labels most effective and provide needed evidence on how LCC warnings influence LCC behavioral intentions. Our overarching goal is to develop effective LCC warnings that reduce cancer and other health risks.

Addressing Cancer-Related Financial Toxicity in Rural Oncology Care Settings

The purpose of this study is to learn how having specific help over a period of time (financial navigation) can help reduce your distress related to the cost of cancer. You will complete a survey to see if you have financial distress. If you have financial distress, you will then fill out a few more surveys and be asked more details about your current financial situation to determine what programs could be helpful for you. The surveys can be completed in person, by email, or over the phone. The navigator can help you complete the surveys if needed. After that, depending on your needs, you will have 1-6 appointments with the financial navigator over a period of 2 weeks -4 months. Risks to you are small due to the educational nature of this study. They may include mild emotional distress while talking about your cancer and financial experiences. Benefits
