Adapting a Brief Dyadic Intervention for Co-occurring Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Alcohol Use Disorder

Summary

Co-occurring post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) disproportionately affects Veterans and has significant negative impacts on the safety, wellbeing, and quality of life of Veterans, their romantic partners, and their families. However, treatments that address co-occurring PTSD-AUD and restore Veterans' psychosocial functioning are lacking. The overall goal of this project is to improve treatment approaches aimed at reducing symptoms of co-occurring PTSD-AUD and improving functioning among Veterans and their partners. We plan to do this by learning from Veterans, family members, and treatment providers in order to inform an adaptation of a brief dyadic AUD intervention to be delivered alongside integrated PTSD-AUD treatment for Veteran couples and then conducting a pilot trial of an adapted Brief Family Involved Treatment (B-FIT) intervention with Veterans with PTSD-AUD and their romantic partners.

A Phase 2, Open-Label, Randomized, Global Study of Three Telisotuzumab Vedotin Regimens in Subjects with Previously Treated c-Met Overexpressing, EGFR Wildtype, Locally Advanced/Metastatic Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Date Added

PRO Number
Pro00147394
Researcher
Mariam Alexander

List of Studies

Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Lung, Drug Studies
Summary

This is a Phase II clinical trial testing a drug called Telisotuzumab Vedotin in people who have already been treated for a specific type of lung cancer that has spread or is hard to remove with surgery. The cancer must show high levels of a protein called c-Met and have a normal version of another protein called eGFR. The main goal is to see how well the drug works and how safe it is when given in three different ways. Telisotuzumab Vedotin is a special kind of medicine that combines an antibody (which targets cancer cells) with chemotherapy. It's given through an IV (a tube in your vein), and each treatment takes about 30 minutes. Patients will get this treatment every two weeks on day one of the cycle. There will be four cycles in the study. There is also a 28 day screening window, a 30 day follow up period, post treatment follow up, and then survival follow up. The study itself will only last a few months, but the follow up will last for years. The follow up period will have limited contact compared to the main study. There will be around about 10 total study visits.

A Phase 2b, Open-Label, Two-cohort Study of Subcutaneous Amivantamab in Combination with Lazertinib as First-Line Treatment, or Subcutaneous Amivantamab in Combination with Platinum-Based Chemotherapy as Second-line Treatment, for Common EGFR-Mutated Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Keywords

Summary

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study is testing an investigational drug called Amivantamab. "Investigational" means that is not been approved by United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). There will be no randomization in this study. Participants will be assigned to treatment upon enrollment based on disease treatment status. The primary purpose of this study is to understand how well the study treatment works and the safety of the combination of Amivantamab and Lazertinib in participants who have NSCLC with a specific eGFR mutation. Amivantamab can be given under the skin (subcutaneous) or by infusion (IV). Participants can be in the study for up to 36 months depending on how the participants disease responds to treatment.

Characterizing dyadic communication challenges and support needs in young adults caring for a parent with metastatic cancer

Date Added

Kelly Hyland

List of Studies

Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Breast, Cancer/Lung
Summary

Half of caregivers in the US are adults caring for a parent, and many of these are young adults, between the ages of 18-35. This presents communication and quality of life challenges for both the young adult child caregiver and parent with cancer; however, this dyad (e.g., two people together) has not been well studied. We will conduct interviews with young adult child caregivers and parents with cancer to learn more about communication challenges and support needs in this dyad. Dyad members will also complete self-report measures asking about mood, coping, communication and quality of life. Findings will inform the development of an intervention to improve dyadic communication and quality of life.

Keywords
Cancer
Summary

This study is for patients who have completed curative-intent treatment for colorectal cancer. It is testing an educational website called Current Together After Cancer (CTAC) to see if it improves follow-up care, including knowledge about cancer recurrence, recommended tests, and self-management of health. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two versions of the website, with or without additional features for engaging a support person, and can use it on a computer, tablet, or smartphone. The study will last up to 16 months, including website use, surveys, and optional interviews, with participation completely voluntary. The goal is to determine whether CTAC helps patients better understand follow-up care and engage their supporters to improve adherence to recommended surveillance. There will be a total of 21 patients enrolled locally over the course of 36 months.

An Interventional Study to Evaluate Treating to a Target of Transmural Healing in Patients with Moderately to Severely Active Crohn's Disease (VECTORS)

List of Studies


Keywords
Crohn's Disease
Summary

The purpose of this research study is to determine the best treatment goals for patients with active CD. Researchers are investigating how treating and monitoring CD to meet specific treatment goals will keep your disease under control (remission) and decrease complications such as hospitalizations and surgeries. Group 1 treatment goals include IUS response (if the drug is improving your CD) and IUS assessed transmural healing (healing of all bowel layers), clinical remission (normalization of CD symptoms), and biomarker remission (improvement in stool and blood tests that show inflammation). Group 2 treatment goals include clinical remission and biomarker remission. Comparing the treatment goals in these groups may inform doctors how best to manage CD in the future. Approximately 304 people will be enrolled in this study. This research study will involve receiving 300 mg of vedolizumab as an intravenous (IV) infusion into your arm at Weeks 0, 2, 6, 10, and 14, then every 4 or 8 weeks thereafter.
