NOURISH-T+ Weight Management for Childhood Cancer Survivors

Washington, District of Columbia
Pediatric cancer survivors are at an increased risk of excessive weight gain and reduced exercise behaviors with the potential for this risk to worsen over time. With over 80% of pediatric cancer patients living to adulthood, many pediatric cancer survivors experience long-term health consequences such as heart disease - the leading cause of death in this population. The purpose of this clinical research study is to teach parents/caregivers skills that will help prevent and reduce the problems of obesity in childhood cancer survivors. In this study, parents have the opportunity to participate in one of two web-based groups in which parents in either group will learn valuable information to improve the health of their child and of themselves.

Exercise Intervention for Childhood Cancer Survivors

Hershey, Pennsylvania
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that integration of exercise intervention into standard post-cancer directed treatment care will improve patient reported pain, decrease the need for medications to manage chronic pain and improve functional and psychosocial outcomes in survivors of cancers in children and adolescents. Our central hypothesis is that integration of exercise interventions into standard post-cancer directed treatment care will be acceptable and feasible while improving patients' pain, decreasing the cumulative dose of pain medication and improving patients' functional and psychosocial outcomes as compared to patients who only receive standard post-cancer directed treatment care.

Multi-level Intervention for Childhood Cancer Survivorship Care Adherence

Chapel Hill, North Carolina
More than 80% of childhood cancer survivors develop serious or life-threatening late effects after cancer therapy, but \<20% receive recommended survivorship care offered at cancer center survivorship clinics. In a shared care model, the investigators propose to investigate an innovative multi-level intervention consisting of: 1) patient survivorship education via telehealth with the cancer center, 2) ongoing patient-tailored education program within the electronic health record patient portal, 3) a structured interactive phone communication between the cancer center and the primary care clinic, and 4) an in-person visit with the primary care clinic for survivorship care with the goal of achieving high rates of adherence to recommended surveillance for late effects, as well as improving patient and physician knowledge and self-efficacy. If this scalable intervention demonstrates patient completion of recommended care comparable to cancer center survivorship clinics, this innovative study has the enormous potential to deliver recommended care to a larger proportion of childhood cancer survivors and reduce survivorship care disparities, while engaging p to integrate survivorship care as part of overall, lifelong health maintenance.

HPARSS Alert System for Childhood Cancer Survivors

Saint Louis, Missouri
The overall goal of this study is to attempt to overcome the organizational barriers that impede prompt screening for at-risk sensory deficits in childhood cancer survivors (CCS). Using a cross sectional design study, collaborators in the Informatics Research branch of the Institute of Informatics at the Washington University School of Medicine will identify CCS at risk for sensory deficits based upon their therapy exposure to generate the highlighting patients at risk for sensory screening (HPARSS) document. The investigators will utilize the HPARSS that will link therapy related risks for sensory deficits to specific screening procedures prompting the primary oncology provider to implement screening, diagnostic testing, and therapy.

Digital Self-Management for Childhood Cancer Survivors

New Brunswick, New Jersey
This study tests how helpful a digital self-management and peer mentoring program is to young adult survivors of childhood cancer to improve their ability to manage their survivorship care as they transition from pediatric to adult-oriented follow-up care. Survivors require lifelong "risk-based" follow-up care based on the treatment they received to identify and treat late health effects. The transition from pediatric to adult follow-up care is a critical period when many survivors are lost to follow-up. Barriers to successful transition and engagement in care include poor knowledge of cancer history, low healthcare self-efficacy, poor self-management skills, low health literacy, and access issues such as financial hardship, insurance, and distance from cancer center. The "Managing Your Health" digital self-management and peer mentoring program aims to address these gaps and improve survivorship care self-management. Improvements in healthcare self-management are necessary to keep young adult survivors engaged in recommended health care, improve their quality of life, and promote optimal health.

Behavioral Interventions for Childhood Cancer Survivors

Memphis, Tennessee
Childhood cancer survivors are at risk for accelerated aging due to the specific treatments they have received to cure their cancer. Several interventions, including exercise, cognitive training, and mindfulness practice, have been developed and studied for effectiveness among participants in the St. Jude Lifetime Cohort (SJLIFE) to mitigate these effects. The interventions offered thus far have not included two components at the same time. The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not adult cancer survivors enrolled in SJLIFE will participate in two interventions at the same time. The combined interventions will include exercise plus cognitive training or exercise plus mindfulness practice. Each intervention will be conducted over a 12-week period. Participants will also be asked to complete follow-up testing after the 12-week intervention period is completed. Primary Objectives • To determine the acceptability of a two-component intervention (exercise (EX) plus cognitive training (CT) or exercise (EX) plus mindfulness practice (MP)) among survivors of childhood cancer with either cognitive impairment or emotional distress. Hypotheses: * 45% of those approached for participation in each arm of this study will enroll on the study. * Among those who enroll, 70% will complete the follow-up testing at 12 weeks. * Among those who completed the follow-up testing, the mean attendance to the intervention sessions will be 70% on each of their two interventions. That is, they will complete 70% of exercise sessions and 70% of either cognitive training or mindfulness practice. * To identify barriers and facilitators to intervention adherence. Hypotheses: * Participants will identify features of the study processes that either facilitate or discourage adherence. * Participants will identify features of the intervention technology and intervention components that either facilitate or discourage adherence. * Participants will identify personal factors that facilitate or discourage adherence.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia in Childhood Cancer Survivors

Memphis, Tennessee
There is evidence that survivors of childhood cancer have a high prevalence of poor sleep, including symptoms of insomnia. Insomnia is highly comorbid and has been associated with impaired cognitive performance, a range of psychiatric disorders, cardiovascular disease, and reduced quality of life. However, we still lack knowledge about the direct impact of available internet-based insomnia treatment programs for survivors of childhood cancer experiencing insomnia, in addition to how improving insomnia symptoms impacts neurocognitive function and late health morbidities in this population. Therefore, in this study, we will utilize the resources available in the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS) to use an accepted, established, efficacious internet-delivered CBTi insomnia treatment program and evaluate the efficacy of this program in adult survivors of childhood cancer. Positive results from this study and our use of an internet-based intervention are likely generalizable and be scalable to the large and geographically diverse population of childhood cancer survivors with chronic health conditions. Primary Objective To examine the efficacy of an eHealth intervention for improving symptoms of insomnia among adult survivors of childhood cancer. Secondary Objectives To examine the impact of an eHealth intervention for insomnia on the clinical severity of insomnia symptoms in adult survivors of childhood cancer. To determine whether treatment of insomnia symptoms will improve neurocognitive function in adult survivors of childhood cancer with both insomnia and neurocognitive impairment. To explore the mediating effects of improved neurocognitive function, emotional distress, and cardiovascular health on the association between insomnia symptoms and quality of life.

Parent Fear of Recurrence Therapy for Cancer Anxiety

Ottawa, Ontario
Clinical levels of fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) affect up to 59% of adult cancer survivors. Family caregivers experience equal or greater levels of FCR, which has been linked to lower quality of life and increased distress. FCR can be addressed in cancer survivors with brief interventions. However, none of these interventions have been tested with parents of childhood cancer survivors. This is an urgent gap: the survival rates of childhood cancer have increased more rapidly than for adult cancers, resulting in a growing population of childhood cancer survivors who, along with their families, need support. The goals of this pilot study are to demonstrate 1) that a newly adapted intervention of FORT (Parent-FORT) is feasible (i.e., participant recruitment, attendance and participation) and acceptable (i.e., parent satisfaction of the intervention) for a larger study, and 2) the clinical implications of Parent-FORT on fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) and quality of life in parents of childhood cancer survivors. Parents will be randomly assigned to participate in the Parent-FORT intervention immediately or a three-month waitlist control group. They will complete a questionnaire package before and after the intervention, as well as at a three month follow up. This study will help bridge an important gap in bringing evidence-based care to parents who have never been offered help before for their FCR.

Lifestyle Interventions for Cancer Survivors and High-Risk Individuals

Houston, Texas
This pilot clinical trial studies different types of energy balance interventions to see how well they work in increasing the physical activity levels of breast cancer gene-positive patients, Lynch syndrome-positive patients, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) survivors or family members of cancer survivors who are at high risk for cancer. Increasing exercise and eating healthy foods may help reduce the risk of cancer. Studying how well different types of interventions work in motivating cancer survivors or high-risk family members to increase exercise and healthy food choices may help doctors plan the most effective motivational program for cancer prevention.

"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."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Childhood Cancer Survivors 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 Childhood Cancer Survivors 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 Childhood Cancer Survivors 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 Childhood Cancer Survivors 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 Childhood Cancer Survivors 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 Childhood Cancer Survivors clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Imaging Muscle Activity for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Survivors, Behavioral Interventions for Childhood Cancer Survivors and Parent Fear of Recurrence Therapy for Cancer Anxiety to the Power online platform.
