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.

GAIN-BCG: Gemcitabine Alternating With Intravesical BCG Randomized Against BCG Alone For Patients With Recurrent High Grade Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer

Keywords

Summary

This study is for people with high-risk, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer that has returned after treatment with BCG. Your cancer either did not fully respond to BCG or came back after initially responding, which is called BCG-exposed NMIBC. The purpose of this study is to find out if adding a chemotherapy drug called gemcitabine, given directly into the bladder through a catheter, to BCG works better than BCG alone. In this study, you will either receive BCG alone for up to 6 weeks or gemcitabine plus BCG for up to 10 weeks, called induction therapy. If the treatment is effective, you may continue with maintenance therapy, which is either BCG alone or gemcitabine plus BCG given over several weeks. After treatment, your doctor will monitor you for 5 years with regular checkups, cystoscopies, and CT scans to watch for side effects or recurrence. The main risks are that the study treatment may not work as well as usual care, and it may cause side effects such as pain with urination, urinary urgency, blood in the urine, bladder inflammation, or urinary tract infection. There may also be risks that study doctors do not yet know about.
There will be a total of 17 patients enrolled locally over the course of 42 months.

NRG-CC014: Radiation Therapy for High-Risk Asymptomatic Bone Metastases: A Pragmatic Multicenter Randomized Phase 3 Clinical Trial (Preempt)

List of Studies

Keywords
Cancer/Genitourinary, Drug Studies
Summary

The purpose of this research study is to find out if giving radiation therapy (RT) early to high-risk bone metastases that are not causing pain can reduce the chance of skeletal-related events (SREs) such as fractures, spinal cord compression, or surgery to bone. This will be compared to the current standard of care (SOC), which usually treats bone metastases only when symptoms like pain occur. The study will enroll 16 participants locally over 25 months, and each subject will remain in the study for at least 40 months. You are being asked to join because you have metastatic cancer that has spread to your bones and is considered "high-risk," though it is not causing pain at this time. High-risk bone metastases are typically located in the spine, hip, shoulder, or long bones, and larger tumors in these areas are more likely to cause complications. If you join this study, you will receive radiation therapy to high-risk bone sites in addition to standard care. The main risk is that radiation therapy may not work better than the usual approach at preventing bone complications. Radiation can also cause side effects, including skin changes, tiredness, and inflammation of the esophagus, bowel, or lungs. There may also be risks that are not yet known to the study doctors.

Summary

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer who are taking bevacizumab. This study is testing two investigational drugs called nelfinavir and hydroxychloroquine. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of cancer. The primary purpose of this study is to see if these two medications in combination with bevacizumab are safe and effective in ovarian cancer. These drugs will be given by mouth. Participants in this study can expect to be in this study for 6 months for data collection, but may continue on the study medications longer if seeing benefit.
