Study using acupressure for people experiencing fatigue after ovarian cancer treatment.

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) symptoms include numbness combined with tingling sensations, persistent shooting, stabbing, or burning pain even in the absence of an obvious cause, lower extremity muscle weakness, and impaired balance. Resistance exercise has shown promising results; however, the effect of exercise on CIPN remains understudied. This study will look at the effects of gain and balance training and resistance exercise (using bands) on gait, balance, and lower extremity muscle strength after a 16-week home-based exercise program compared to educational materials without an exercise program.

This study is for people with metastatic colorectal cancer. The study will compare how well treatment with a combination of chemotherapy agents and an immunotherapy agent works compared with treatment using an immunotherapy agent alone. This study is focused on patients who are determined to be mismatch-repair deficient (dMMR) or have an MSI-H diagnosis, which are commonly seen in people with Lynch syndrome.

This study will look at how well patients with recurrent ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer respond to treatment with a targeted therapy known as an ATR inhibitor when combined with the PARP inhibitor Olaparib.

The IGNITE-TX study is all about helping people with a genetic mutation in BRCA1, BRCA2 or Lynch syndrome talk to their family members about their risk for cancer and find the best way to get family members tested.

The TALAPRO-3 trial is assessing whether the study drug, talazoparib, is effective and safe when given in combination with enzalutamide as a treatment option for men with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer and a DDR gene alteration.

This study is investigating if the study drug copanlisib, when used in combination with fulvestrant, is safe and effective for people with certain advanced ER-positive and/or PR-positive cancers.  People with PI3K and/or PTEN changes in tumor tissue or inherited mutations are eligible.

Modus Outcomes is seeking patients with stage III or IV ovarian cancer to participate in online interviews. We will ask you questions about your symptoms and how ovarian cancer impacts your life. Then, we will ask for feedback on questionnaires used in ovarian cancer studies.

The purpose of this study is to compare the benefit of the combination of immunotherapy agents Nivolumab plus Ipilimumab in patients who have Microsatellite Instability High (MSI-H) or Mismatch Repair Deficient (dMMR) metastatic colorectal cancer versus using Nivolumab as a single therapy or chemotherapy. 

This study is looking at how well the drug elimusertib (a type of targeted therapy known as an ATR inhibitor) works when combined with chemotherapy for treating people with advanced cancers, including urothelial, ovarian, gastric, endometrial, triple-negative breast cancer and others.

The purpose of this study is to look at the effects and ease of use of occupational therapy delivered by telehealth on activity performance, memory and quality of life in breast cancer survivors. Participants will complete all sessions from home via Zoom videoconferencing. This is a 2-arm randomized control trial, which means that each participant will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Participants will complete the same number of sessions regardless of which group they are assigned to.

Online survey for people with a family history of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and Lynch syndrome about online health history-sharing.

This study will look at treating men with high risk prostate cancer using the PARP inhibitor, niraparib combined with prostate stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), abiraterone, leuprolide, and prednisone. Phase 1 of this study will look at the best dose of niraparib for this treatment combination. The phase 2 portion of this study will look at the 3-year PSA recurrence free-survival rate of the patients who received this combined therapy.

PAVO is an open-label Phase II study investigating if the study drug, a PARP inhibitor called niraparib (Zejula), is safe and effective for certain people who have been diagnosed with an
advanced solid tumor with either an inherited or tumor PALB2 mutation.

This study will adapt and evaluate an intervention designed to help young couples cope with and communicate about cancer-related reproductive and sexual health concerns.

This study aims to better understand how breast cancer surgery can impact mental health and wellness. We will also explore how breast cancer survivors view breast cancer surgery and medical tattooing following. Participation includes an optional information session and consultation with a medical tattoo artist. 

Improved screening for pancreatic cancer in high-risk groups, such as people with an inherited BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM, or PALB2 mutation, may help find cancer early and improve survival rates. People enrolled in this study will undergo screening using endoscopic ultrasound or MRI of the abdomen.

The Metastatic Prostate Cancer Project is a nationwide genomic research study for men with advanced and/or metastatic prostate cancer. Patients can join online and participate by sharing their medical information and samples. The goal of the project is to generate a comprehensive database that will be shared with the entire research community to accelerate discoveries in prostate cancer.

This study is for people with advanced or metastatic endometrial cancer that has progressed on or after platinum-based chemotherapy. Participants will receive retifanlimab (a type of immunotherapy) alone or in combination with other immunotherapies or targeted therapies.

This study is using a new type of genetic test to measure ovarian cancer risk in women who have inherited genetic mutations that increase their risk for ovarian cancer or women who have an ovarian cyst or other non-cancerous masses (adnexal mass). NOTE: This study is no longer enrolling patients. 

The Metastatic Breast Cancer Project is a patient-partnered initiative that directly engages patients across the US & Canada to transform our understanding of metastatic breast cancer. Patients participate by sharing their medical information, tumor samples, and their voices, partnering with the project team to accelerate discoveries. There is no cost to participate and only minimal effort is required to have a major impact.
 

Researchers at Bay Path University are conducting virtual/phone interviews with individuals who have received a reclassified genetic test result to cancer related genes. This study will help researchers learn the psychosocial implications and experiences of those who have received a reclassified genetic test result when undergoing hereditary cancer gene testing, (for example, your original genetic test results showed a variant of uncertain significance that was later found to be harmful or harmless). 

This is a study for people diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer with Homologous Recombination Deficiency, or whose disease has responded well to first-line or second-line platinum therapy. The goal of this study is to look at whether combining the immunotherapy drug, pembrolizumab and the PARP inhibitor, olaparib is a more effective treatment for this cancer than taking olaparib alone.
