Summary

This study is recruiting non-metastatic breast cancer survivors who were diagnosed between ages 18 and 51 and are currently 6 months to 5 years post-treatment. Eligible participants must have a score of 5–14 on the PHQ-8 depression screening tool. This study is testing a digital mindfulness meditation-based program. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Participants will be randomly assigned (like drawing one number out of three at random) to one of three groups: (1) live online mindfulness classes over Zoom, (2) a specially designed mindfulness app, or (3) guided audio meditations. The primary purpose of this study is to determine if different ways of delivering digital mindfulness training can improve mental health and well-being in younger breast cancer survivors. The program is delivered either by live online sessions, through a mobile app, or by listening to guided meditation recordings. Participants can expect to be in this study for about 9 months, including a 6-week training program and questionnaires before, during, and after training. Participants will be enrolled for a duration of 9 months, and a total of 15 patients will be recruited locally over the course of 36 months.

Summary

This study will enroll patients and collect blood samples from those who have a newly diagnosed cancer, are going to a procedure for a definitive diagnosis of cancer, or healthy control subjects. These samples that are being collected and banked will be used for future development of blood tests to detect lung cancer in future patients at the earliest stages.

Summary

Cancer caregivers in emerging and young adulthood (ages 18-35) are an underresearched and unsupported group of caregivers, and yet they are not uncommon. To address this critical support gap, the goal of this study is to develop and pilot test a caregiving support intervention specifically tailored for emerging and young adults caring for a parent with cancer. This phase of the study is intended to capture feedback on the intervention via focus groups with emerging and young adult caregivers of a parent with cancer.

Protocol S2414, A Randomized Phase III Trial Incorporating Pathologic Complete Response in Participants with Early Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer to Optimize Immunotherapy in the Adjuvant Setting (INSIGHT) (NCT06498635)

Researcher
Mariam Alexander

List of Studies

Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Lung
Summary

This phase III trial compares durvalumab to the usual approach (patient observation) after surgery for the treatment of patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. The usual approach for patients who are not in a study is to closely watch a patient's condition after surgery and to have regular visits with their doctor to watch for signs of the cancer coming back. Usually, patients do not receive further treatment unless the cancer returns. This study will help determine whether this different approach with durvalumab is better, the same, or worse than the usual approach of observation. Giving durvalumab may help patients live longer and prevent early-stage non-small cell lung cancer from coming back as compared to the usual approach.

Examining emotional health and symptom needs in long-term cancer survivors living with likely incurable cancer: Administrative Supplement to IMPACT R01

Researcher
Kelly Hyland

Keywords
Cancer
Summary

The aim of this supplement study is to learn more about the emotional health and symptom needs of long-term cancer survivors (over 5 years since diagnosis) living with likely incurable disease. Participants in this qualitative substudy will be individuals who are long-term cancer survivors who participated in another study of depression in individuals with likely incurable cancer. We will recruit long-term cancer survivors with likely incurable cancer to participate in one-time, 45- to 60-minute in-depth, semi-structured interviews. We will ask patients about emotional health and symptom burden concerns and elicit attitudes toward digital mental health interventions (DMHI) and preferences for intervention type and delivery. Findings will inform the development of digital mental health interventions tailored to this patient population.
