The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the safety and feasibility of a daily 3-minute hand-held vibration therapy intervention to reduce the severity of CIPN in the hands. The investigators hypothesize that daily vibration therapy can reduce the severity of patient's CIPN in their hands and improve CIPN-related quality of life. The hope is that results from this study will provide early data on the feasibility, efficacy, and most importantly, safety, of daily 3-minute hand-held vibration therapy needed to justify future clinical trials examining vibration therapy as a potential option for treating CIPN in the future.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if using an incentive spirometer can reduce lung problems in people with advanced lung cancer who are receiving chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The main questions the study aims to answer are: Does using an incentive spirometer lower the chances of developing lung inflammation (pneumonitis)? Does it improve overall survival and quality of life? Participants will: Use an incentive spirometer, a device that helps with deep breathing, 10 times every hour while awake. Continue using the spirometer daily during treatment and for up to three months after treatment. Complete quality of life assessments at the start of the study and at 3, 6, and 12 months. Researchers will compare the results to see if the incentive spirometer helps reduce lung problems and improves participants\' well-being during and after their cancer treatment.

In recent years, the treatment paradigm for hormone receptor positive, HER2-negative disease has shifted from "chemotherapy for visceral disease" and "hormone therapy for bone disease" to "chemotherapy only for visceral crises or endocrine resistance". In recent years, CDK4/6 inhibitors have been added to the therapeutic arsenal. A meta-analysis of clinical trials of first-line metastatic CDK4/6 inhibitors showed an improvement in progression-free survival but an increase in toxicities compared to endocrine therapy alone. Other commonly used oral therapies for breast cancer are mTOR inhibitors and capecitabine. Other oral molecules will be added to the therapeutic arsenal in the coming years (e.g. alpelisib and tucatinib), each with specific toxicities. Newer targeted therapies given in combination with endocrine therapies for breast cancer (eg with palbociclib, everolimus, and capecitabine) pose a challenge to health care providers because they are oral drugs. For "traditional" intravenous chemotherapy, patients must go to the hospital regularly, which allows close care by a team of doctors, pharmacists and nurses dedicated to breast cancer. On the other hand, for oral agents, monitoring is less systematic. Monitoring and managing the toxicities of oral treatments becomes a challenge. Suboptimal management of side effects can compromise patients' adherence to their treatment, have a negative impact on their side effects and increase costs for the healthcare system. Systematic follow-up is therefore necessary. In the information age, public access to the Internet is increasing and most households in the province of Quebec now have access to the Internet, either on a smart phone, tablet or computer. Recent studies have shown that having a system to "self-report" side effects could even improve the survival of cancer patients and reduce costs. Apps allow patients to take an active role in their healthcare. With the availability of an increasing number of oral therapies, monitoring the toxicities experienced by these patients is becoming a challenge and oncology teams need tools to help them ensure patient safety. At the same time, patients clearly want more information. The potential benefits and ease of use of web interfaces and patient portals for the management of oral therapy toxicities are appealing, but there is a lack of studies on them.

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the impact that an at-home cardio-oncology rehabilitation (CORE) may have on short-term cardiovascular fitness and psychosocial wellness in pediatric cancer survivors. The main question it aims to answer are * To evaluate the efficacy of an at-home CORE model on short-term cardiovascular fitness and psychosocial wellbeing in adolescent cancer survivors. * To evaluate the exercise adherence rate among adolescents at risk for heart failure and assess barriers to compliance. * To explore which specific CORE resources are of most value to patients in creating sustainable healthy lifestyle modifications. * Hypothesis: Pediatric cancer survivors who implement exercise and dietary recommendations will demonstrate improvement in cardiovascular fitness and general wellness. A multidisciplinary team approach can facilitate adherence to a moderately rigorous exercise prescription, and thus enhance the health benefits of a CORE program at CHLA. Participants will undergo cardiovascular studies and a quality-of-life survey prior to exercise intervention, and at the end of the 6-month study period.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

"I've been struggling with ADHD and anxiety since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 30. I really don't like how numb the medications make me feel. And especially now, that I've lost my grandma and my aunt 8 days apart, my anxiety has been even worse. So I'm trying to find something new."

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Chemotherapy Toxicity clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Chemotherapy Toxicity clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Chemotherapy Toxicity trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Chemotherapy Toxicity is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Chemotherapy Toxicity medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Chemotherapy Toxicity clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Incentive Spirometry for Lung Cancer, Fasting Mimicking Diet + Chemotherapy for Ovarian Cancer and At-Home Cardiac Rehabilitation for Heart Failure to the Power online platform.
