To explore the barriers and fears related to use of opioids among a population of adult outpatients with advanced cancer who continue to experience pain after receiving a prescription for opioid analgesia and hypothesized associations among opiophobia, anxiety, depression, pain intensity, pain interference, and opioid medication adherence.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether MZRW is an effective treatment for constipation in cancer survivors. The researchers will compare MZRW with placebo, a pill that looks like MZRW and is given in the same way, but contains no medication. The researchers will also study the effect MZRW has on the gut microbiome. The gut microbiome is a diverse community of microorganisms living in the digestive system, essential for digestion and immune function.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if changing cysteine levels in the diet can influence how the body processes cysteine in Black and White individuals aged 45-75 with a history of non-cancerous polyps. The main questions it aims to answer are: * At the beginning of the study, do Black participants have higher levels of cortisol (a stress hormone) and compounds made from cysteine in their blood when compared to White participants? * Does eating less cysteine lower the body's natural cysteine activity and lead to less gut bacteria that break down cysteine? * Does eating less cysteine lead to less inflammation in the gut and lower levels of markers of inflammation in the blood? Research will compare a high cysteine diet and a low cysteine diet, and each participant will eat both diets. Participants will be in the study for 11 weeks and 2 days. Over the course of the study, participants will: * Eat a high cysteine diet for 3 weeks, and a low cysteine diet for 3 weeks * Eat a moderate cysteine diet for 1 week before each study diet * Complete surveys * Provide blood, stool, and saliva samples * Maintain food logs
The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of a 6-month pilot randomized controlled trial of medically tailored grocery delivery plus nutrition counseling vs. medically tailored grocery delivery alone vs. standard of care (with delayed grocery delivery alone) among 100 individuals with any stage and type cancer who reside in Maine on change in diet quality from baseline to 6-months. The secondary objective is to assess the benefits of the intervention on change from baseline to 6-months on self-reported healthcare utilization (e.g., hospitalizations, emergency room visits), malnutrition, cancer-treatment related symptoms, food insecurity, quality of life, and financial toxicity. We will also evaluate feasibility and acceptability of the intervention in the target population.
This study investigates the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of enCompass Humana, a social support intervention for caregivers of patients with cancer and diabetes. The enCompass program aims to improve support for these caregivers through a randomized feasibility study of a pilot-tested coaching and navigation program. Caregiver services and system-level support are essential, but successful interventions for cancer caregivers are rarely standardized or systematically disseminated. Consequently, many programs do not reach the most underserved caregivers. Challenges to implementation include substantial clinical staff involvement, lack of dissemination and implementation information, and failure to tailor interventions to rural contexts. Despite the lack of standardized supportive interventions, national reports and legislative efforts increasingly recognize the need to support caregivers. Caregivers reported unmet needs in all domains of social support, including instrumental help (e.g., in-home help, housekeeping), logistical and coordination support (e.g., food delivery, accompanying patients to appointments), information about illness and progression, emotional support, self-care guidance, and financial assistance (e.g., parking costs, lost wages). Caregivers show high interest in services but cited uncertainty and lack of strategies for accessing resources. Many are unaware of existing services. Interviews with oncology clinicians and healthcare administrators revealed similar findings: resources exist, but there is no system to match them with caregivers' needs. Preliminary data suggest the intervention improves caregiver coping self-efficacy and reduces anxiety and depression in patients. With input from stakeholders, including caregivers, patients, family caregiving experts, and clinical care experts, the study team adapted the CARING application into enCompass to mitigate structural barriers and normalize support-seeking. The long-term goal is to adapt this psychosocial support program to increase self-efficacy, support-seeking, and reduce loneliness among caregivers. It is hypothesized that enCompass will build self-efficacy and coping skills, serving caregivers throughout the patient's illness and complications.

The purpose of this study is to determine feasibility and acceptability of a six-week at-home light therapy protocol in childhood cancer survivors, to identify facilitators and barriers to implementing this intervention, and to measure signs and symptoms of Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN) at baseline and following completion of the at-home light therapy protocol.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether an 8-week digital health promotion program called COBRA is a safe and practical (feasible) option for older adults with cancer/OAC.
This study engages youth as health advocates to increase cancer screening in their community. The study will evaluate the effectiveness of a youth-led intervention on cancer screening awareness in adults who are overdue for cancer screening.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about exercise and physical activity in individuals who are undergoing cancer treatment. The clinical trial is embedded in a pilot implementation feasibility study. The main implementation questions it aims to answer are to understand the implementation feasibility, acceptability and appropriateness of remote monitoring from providers and participants. The main clinical trial outcomes are to explore the effectiveness of remote therapeutic monitoring to achieve individual goal attainment related to exercise defined as number of daily steps, weekly exercise minutes, strength sessions or decreased physical activity variability. During the course of the study: Participants will use activity trackers and a mobile phone application to monitor their exercise participation over 3 months.

Aim 1: Refine the HRSN navigation model to integrate a digital platform (Findhelp.org) to meet the needs of AYAs. The investigators will conduct iterative co-design sessions with AYAs and caregivers to understand their views on the existing Findhelp.org website and the likely need for other human-to-human and digital strategies to augment platform engagement (e.g., text reminders) and to address vocational needs. Aim 2: Evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the refined hybrid intervention that includes digital + person-to-person HRSN navigation. Aim 3: Explore the preliminary impact of the refined hybrid intervention, compared to elevated usual care (a one-time referral to FindHelp.org alone), on reduction in financial distress (AYA and caregiver) and on AYA global health (i.e., mental, social, physical).
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the study drug WTX-330 when administered using a fixed dose regimen or a step-up dose regimen in adult patients with selected advanced or metastatic solid tumors or lymphoma.
