Cancer Clinical Trials in Boston, MA

A Phase I-II, First-in-Human Study of SKB264 in Patients with Locally Advanced Unresectable/Metastatic Solid Tumors who are refractory to Available Standard Therapies. Patient must have historically documented, incurable, locally advanced or metastatic cancer that are refractory to standard therapies of one of the following types: Triple negative breast cancer Epithelial ovarian cancer Non-small cell lung cancer Gastric adenocarcinoma/Gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma Small cell lung cancer HR+/ HER2-breast cancer Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma Endometrial carcinoma Urothelial carcinoma Read Less

The purpose of this study is to test whether a mobile application developed to help people with cancer pain is useful and helpful to patients with cancer. Read Less

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a brief psychoeducational intervention to improve quality of life in patients with lung cancer who are transitioning from active treatment to surveillance. Read Less

This clinical trial compares a web-based patient-reported symptom monitoring and self management portal, Young, Empowered & Strong (YES), to standard therapy in managing symptoms in adolescent and young adults breast cancer survivors. YES is a web-based portal (website) to help monitor issues or symptoms women with breast cancer may experience. YES portal may improve the quality of life of young breast cancer survivors. YES portal may help manage symptoms and provide useful information/resources. Read Less

After undergoing restorative proctectomy for rectal cancer, many patients are left with significant bowel dysfunction, known as Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS). Increased LARS severity correlates with worse perceived global health status and quality of life (QoL). Among patients undergoing rectal resection with a permanent ostomy, there is evidence that supportive and educational interventions improve QoL, ostomy proficiency, self-efficacy and knowledge. However, evidence regarding the impact of such interventions in patients who undergo restorative proctectomy is lacking, despite the latter operation being far more frequently performed. The overall goal of this study is to evaluate the extent to which a LARS Patient-Centered Program impacts on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after restorative proctectomy for rectal cancer. This is a randomized-controlled muticenter trial that will include patients who have undergone restorative proctectomy for neoplastic disease (benign or malignant) located in the rectum (0-15cm from the anal verge) with a diverting ostomy and who are scheduled for ostomy closure.
