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.
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 aims to use clinical and biological characteristics of acute leukemias to screen for patient eligibility for available pediatric leukemia sub-trials. Testing bone marrow and blood from patients with leukemia that has come back after treatment or is difficult to treat may provide information about the patient's leukemia that is important when deciding how to best treat it, and may help doctors find better ways to diagnose and treat leukemia in children, adolescents, and young adults.
Collecting data on chronic GVHD instances
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 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].
To determine in a randomized manner whether the addition of levocarnitine prophylaxis to asparaginase-containing regimens will decrease the incidence of conjugated hyperbilirubinemia (>3 mg/dL) during ALL induction therapy in adolescents and young adults (AYAs, age 15-39 years).
This is a study evaluating whether the use of an electronic web-based tool containing surveys could support patients and doctors make better treatment decisions together. New patients, 60 years or older, will be randomized to either receive the tool or not. Surveys will be collected from patients about their experience in making treatment decisions to evaluate whether the tool was beneficial.
To find out if the addition of 2 blocks of inotuzumab ozogamicin to the standard chemotherapy regimen will improve outcomes in children and young adults with High-Risk (HR) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL).
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.
