PC 360 Survivorship

Prostate Cancer Survivorship 360º is a collaboration-based initiative involving prostate cancer (PC) and survivorship researchers/clinicians from three Canadian prostate centers with the goal of identifying and tracking unmet supportive care needs of patients with localized PC and responding to these needs through survivorship care. The current randomized control trail (RCT) will focus on the development and evaluation of a facilitated electronic Prostate Cancer Survivorship Care Plan (PC-SCP).

International Lung Screen Trial (ILST)

People who may be at increased risk of lung cancer due to age and smoking history will be invited to participate in this international study to determine the best way of using computed tomography (CT) of the chest to screen for early lung cancer. Overseas data show that CT screening (screening tests can find diseases early, when they're easier to treat) can reduce deaths from lung cancer and this study will help determine who is most likely benefit from screening.

Universal Screening for Lynch Syndrome in Women With Endometrial and Non-Serous Ovarian Cancer (LS2)

This study will maximize identification of women with Lynch Syndrome using an enhanced screening strategy to identify those at risk. These women will be referred to genetic counselling for testing and those found to have Lynch Syndrome will be asked to invite first degree relatives to participate and undergo genetic testing for Lynch Syndrome.

A Pilot Study Investigating Apixaban and Dexamethasone InterAction in Multiple Myeloma (ADAM)

This pilot study will investigate the impact of dexamethasone (DEX) on anti-Xa levels in participants taking apixaban 2.5 mg twice a day by mouth (PO BID). Investigators propose a prospective, cohort study of 24 participants with multiple myeloma, in whom a lenalidomide-dexamethasone (LEN-DEX)-based myeloma treatment regimen is indicated. Eligible participants will initiate thromboprophylaxis with apixaban prior to starting their DEX-containing regimen and continue until the end of cycle 3. Anti-Xa levels, D-Dimer and plasma drug concentration will be measured.

A Study Investigating the Predictive Value of Philadelphia Positive Stem Cell Properties in Newly Diagnosed Patients With Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in Chronic Phase Receiving Treatment With Imatinib

Imatinib (IM) is first-line treatment for patients with newly diagnosed CML in chronic phase. The drug is associated with high rates of cytogenetic responses with minimal toxicity in approximately 80% of patients. In 20% of patients however, the disease is either initially unresponsive to IM (Imatinib), resistance develops within a few months, or blast crisis occurs early and unexpectedly following an initial response.

Apixaban for the Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism in Cancer Patients (AVERT)

Cancer patients have an increased risk of developing blood clots in the veins compared to non-cancer patients. Cancer patients who develop blood clots can lead to reduced life expectancy, delayed cancer treatment, and decreased quality of life. Prevention is the most effective way to decrease the complications associated with blood clots in the veins.

Bortezomib, Selinexor, and Dexamethasone in Patients With Multiple Myeloma (BOSTON

This Phase 3, 2-arm, randomized, active comparator-controlled, open-label, multicenter study will compare the efficacy and health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) and assess the safety of selinexor plus bortezomib (Velcade® or generic equivalent) plus low-dose dexamethasone (SVd) versus bortezomib plus low-dose dexamethasone (Vd) in adult patients with RRMM who have received 1 to 3 prior anti-multiple myeloma (MM) regimens. After progressive disease (PD), patients in the Vd Arm may cross over to SVd treatment. Patients who cross over will be referred to as SVdX patients.

Study of Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) as Monotherapy in Adults With Previously Systemically Treated Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma (MK-3475-224/KEYNOTE-224)

This is a efficacy and safety study of pembrolizumab (MK-3475, KEYTRUDA®) as monotherapy in participants with previously systemically treated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Study participants may receive pembrolizumab once every 3 weeks for up to 35 administrations (up to approximately 2 years).

The primary objective of this study is to determine the Objective Response Rate (ORR) of pembrolizumab given as monotherapy in participants with previously systemically treated HCC.

Treatment-free Remission Accomplished With Dasatinib in Patients With CML (TRAD)

The purpose of this study is to find out how to increase the potential for achieving an "operational cure" from chronic myeloid leukemia. An "operational cure" is a state in which a person does not require further treatment, although there may be some remaining cancer cells. Patients would normally remain on a TK inhibitor indefinitely within a standard of care setting for chronic myeloid leukemia. Within this clinical trial, patients will discontinue their TK inhibitor prematurely. If any signs of progression are identified, dasatinib will be introduced.
