Participants of this study will have a diagnosis of a solid tumor cancer that has come back to its original location or spread beyond its original location (advanced), came back (relapsed) or worsened (refractory) after standard treatments, or no standard treatments are available for the participants' cancer. The purpose of this study if to find the highest dose of MQ710 that causes few or mild side effects in participants with a solid tumor cancer diagnosis.

When someone is diagnosed with advanced cancer, their family members and close friends often take on the role of caregiver, providing emotional support and complex medical care for their loved one, often for up to eight hours a day. This responsibility can take a significant toll, leaving family caregivers overwhelmed, highly stressed, and without access to the support they need. Research shows that when caregivers are struggling, both they and the patients they care for suffer. Caregiver distress has been linked to poor quality of life for patients and greater emotional strain on families. Despite the well-documented emotional and physical burdens on family caregivers, most cancer centers do not include structured support services to help them cope and navigate challenges. Many caregivers do not even realize help is available, leading to feelings of isolation and burnout. Yet, despite the critical role caregivers play in cancer care, there are very few programs designed to support them in ways that are both effective and widely accessible. To address this urgent need, our team has developed FamilyStrong, a novel intervention specifically designed to fill this gap and support family caregivers in real-world cancer care settings. FamilyStrong is a brief and easy-to-use program that helps family caregivers recognize and manage distress while connecting them to the right support. Unlike many caregiver support programs that require extensive time and highly trained specialists, FamilyStrong is led by lay navigators, who are trained individuals who can guide caregivers through challenges and connect them with appropriate resources. The program uses a simple distress screening tool to quickly assess how caregivers are coping and then tailors support to their specific needs. We will test FamilyStrong in a small pilot study with 60 caregivers of patients newly diagnosed with advanced cancer. Over a period of 24 weeks, we will evaluate how well the program works, whether caregivers find it helpful, and whether it improves caregiver and patient well-being compared to usual care. Specifically, we will measure whether caregivers experience lower stress, improved quality of life, and fewer unmet needs when they participate in the FamilyStrong program. After this study, we will use these results and our experiences to inform a larger clinical trial to confirm FamilyStrong's benefits and eventually expand the program nationwide. By providing caregivers with practical, effective support, FamilyStrong has the potential to improve the quality of life for both caregivers and cancer patients, ensuring that families facing cancer receive the help they need when they need it most.

This first-in-human study will evaluate safety, tolerability, anti-tumor activity, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of PHN-012, a novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), in patients with advanced solid tumors.

The use of a geriatric assessment to inform oncologic care for older persons with cancer is an evidence-based practice that improves patient-clinician communication, reduces treatment-related toxicity, and is recommended by national guidelines. However, the implementation of a geriatric assessment can be time-consuming and burdensome, leading to suboptimal use in clinical practice. Developed and endorsed by the American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the Practical Geriatric Assessment (PGA) is designed to improve clinical usability and adoption, but its implementation in real-world settings has not been evaluated. The PACE-70 study aims to evaluate PGA implementation and resultant chemotherapy dose modification among older adults with advanced cancer treated in a community setting. An exploratory aim will evaluate how the PGA, body composition (via abdominal computed tomography scan) and step count monitoring (via FitBit) correlate with chemotherapy toxicity and other clinical outcomes.

The overall objective of this study is to assess the feasibility, safety and preliminary efficacy of psilocybin-assisted therapy to alleviate opioid-refractory pain in patients with advanced-cancer. The name of the study intervention used in this research study is: Psilocybin (a tryptamine derivative)

This feasibility cluster-controlled randomized trial (RCT) evaluates a complex intervention for the delivery of primary palliative care in Family Health Units (FHUs). The intervention consists of training General Practitioners (GPs) in palliative care through a 30 hour e-learning program and implementing a structured consultation model (4 consultations over 12 weeks) for adult patients with advanced chronic illness. One FHU will receive the intervention and one FHU will follow usual care. The primary goal is to assess feasibility metrics (GP adherence, patient recruitment rate, and patient retention rate), which will inform the design of a subsequent full-scale cluster RCT.

This is a prospective, single-arm, pilot feasibility clinical trial designed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of a simulation-free adaptive radiotherapy workflow to enable single-session celiac plexus SBRT planning and delivery. In this trial, the treatment itself is non-investigational (standard-of-care celiac plexus SBRT) but the treatment workflow (simulation-free, using adaptive radiotherapy to compress treatment planning and delivery into a single session) is novel. Investigators hypothesize the successful completion of the simulation-free ART workflow through treatment delivery in the first on-table treatment attempt for at least 80% of patients.

This clinical trial is evaluating a drug called ART0380 in participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The main goals of this study are to: * Find the recommended dose of ART0380 that can be given safely to participants alone and in combination with gemcitabine or irinotecan * Learn more about the side effects of ART0380 alone and in combination with gemcitabine or irinotecan * Learn more about the effectiveness of ART0380 alone and in combination with gemcitabine or irinotecan

To learn if giving 177Lu girentuximab in combination with cabozantinib plus nivolumab can help to control advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).

This clinical trial is studying the safety and efficacy of a personalized cancer vaccine called a neoantigen peptide vaccine in patients with solid tumors. These vaccines are custom-made for each patient using specific mutations (neoantigens) found in their own tumor. The goal is to help the patient's immune system recognize and attack their cancer. The study will enroll adult patients (20 years or older) who have solid tumors that meet specific stage-related criteria. These include advanced cancers that are resistant to prior treatments and early-stage cancers at high risk of recurrence, where there are no standard adjuvant therapies available. Participants will receive: * A personalized neoantigen peptide vaccine designed from the mutations in their tumor tissue. * Poly-ICLC (Hiltonol), a substance that stimulates the immune system. * An anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor, a drug that helps the immune system stay active against cancer. The vaccine and drugs will be given through multiple injections over several months. Blood samples and imaging will be used to monitor the immune response and how the cancer responds to treatment. Participants will be followed for up to 12 months. This study does not include a placebo group. Every participant will receive the personalized vaccine along with the other therapies. The primary objectives of this study are: 1. To assess whether the treatment is safe and tolerable. 2. To evaluate whether this approach helps control the cancer and can be combined with other standard treatments in the future.

This is a Phase 1 study comprising a Phase 1a dose-escalation portion and a Phase 1b expansion portion evaluating the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, immunogenicity, and efficacy of SLV-154 across a range of dose levels when administered to subjects with advanced solid tumors.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate if the smartphone app, I-STAMP (Integrated Smartphone Technology to Alleviate Malignant Pain), helps participants with cancer pain manage symptoms and keep track of medications.

This is a pilot randomized controlled trial to assess the feasibility, acceptability, appropriateness, and structure of the SONATA intervention. In addition, it will assess the preliminary efficacy of SONATA compared to enhanced usual care among 70 older adults with advanced cancer.

People with incurable cancer often have complex individual needs, however there are several common themes encountered when considering this group. As cancer progresses there are series of interactions between the tumour and the patient, producing both local and systemic effects. This altered state of illness can have multiple ill effects including weight loss, fatigue, increased symptom burden and reduction in physical function which all contribute to a reduced quality of life. These areas are often studied in isolation, giving an incomplete picture. A detailed, holistic characterisation of this group of people does not exist. A robust characterisation of people with incurable cancer will allow identification and prioritisation of future research and has the potential to inform new therapeutics and provide justification for treatments. This study aims to collect information about symptoms and quality of life, weight loss and body composition, physical activity and the body's immune response to cancer. Participants with incurable cancer will be recruited to the study from oncology and palliative medicine services in the UK. Participants will answer questionnaires about quality of life and symptoms, have bloods taken for inflammatory marker and cytokine analysis and have their body composition measured by a variety of methods.

This phase I study tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of Ac225-DOTA-M5A in treating patients with CEA positive colorectal cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Ac225-DOTA-M5A is a humanized monoclonal anti-CEA antibody, linked to a radioactive agent called actinium 225. M5A attaches to CEA positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers actinium 225 to kill them.

This study is a prospective, minimal risk, non-randomized, single-arm study to determine feasibility and assess effectiveness of a Virtual Group Resilient Living Program (RLP) on anxiety, stress, quality of life (QOL), coping, and fatigue among patients with advanced cancer. The group RLP is a psychosocial intervention that consists of a total of 7 weekly sessions in which the interventionalist teaches the patients techniques on stress management and building resilience (mindfulness, uplifting emotions, reframe experiences through principles of gratitude, compassion, acceptance, meaning, and forgiveness). The group setting allows for support and connection amongst the patients, providing further support and motivation to practice the principles of the program.

This is a single-arm prospective, feasibility study evaluating the intravenous contrast-enhanced cone beam computed tomography (IV CBCT) for image guidance during radiotherapy. Patients treated with SFRT will receive IV-contrast enhanced CT and fMRI before treatment for simulation purposes. Additionally, patients will receive mpMRI just before and IV-contrast enhanced CBCT during their second and last fraction of RT, in addition to the standard of care CBCT that is acquired for daily image-guided patient positioning. Patients will undergo both IV-contrast enhanced CBCT and treatment on the TrueBeam with HyperSight imaging capability. We hypothesize IV contrast enhanced CBCT is feasible, well-tolerated by patients and improves the visibility of the target.

CIME is a multicenter, randomised, comparative, open-label phase III study aiming to compare the survival of patients suffering from MSI-H/dMMR locally advanced or metastatic oeasogastric adenocarcinoma treated by a bi-immunotherapy (experimental arm) versus standard current treatment (FOLFOX/XELOX + nivolumab : standard arm).

The purpose of this study is to see if using Patient Derived Organoids (PDO) to choose a drug for the treatment of pancreatic cancer individually for each patient is useful. The study will look at the number of participants who have a response to their assigned drug.
