Cancer and cardiovascular diseases are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Advanced imaging techniques such as 4D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enable quantitative assessment of hemodynamic and functional parameters beyond conventional imaging. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between 4D MRI derived parameters and the occurrence, severity, and prognosis of major chronic diseases, and to explore their potential role as imaging biomarkers.

The REFLEX study is a randomized, controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate the impact of a 16-week supervised, combined exercise program on metabolic flexibility and cardiorespiratory fitness in breast cancer survivors. While cancer treatments have significantly improved survival rates, the disease and its therapies often cause systemic mitochondrial dysfunction and muscle loss. This leads to persistent "metabolic inflexibility"-a reduced ability to efficiently switch between burning carbohydrates and fats for energy. This inflexibility, exacerbated by sedentary behavior and cancer-related fatigue, can severely diminish a patient's functional autonomy and overall quality of life. The trial focuses on assessing whether exercise can restore this metabolic adaptability in women aged 18 to 70 with stage I-III breast cancer who are currently on hormonal treatment and completed neo/adjuvant chemotherapy within the past 6 months. The study operates on the primary hypothesis that an individualized exercise intervention will significantly improve the participants' metabolic flexibility-measured via the metabolic crossover point-and overall aerobic capacity (VO2max) when compared to a control group. Additionally, the trial will analyze secondary outcomes, including changes in cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors, muscle strength, body composition (such as bone mineral density), and patient-reported outcomes assessing quality of life, fatigue, joint pain, anxiety, and depression. A total of 44 participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group. Participants in the intervention group will complete a 16-week program consisting of two weekly supervised sessions. Each session lasts between 55 and 85 minutes and includes a tailored combination of aerobic and strength training based on the individual's baseline fitness and metabolic thresholds. Participants in the control group. will receive standard educational materials via email, featuring healthy lifestyle and exercise guidelines from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). To evaluate the program's effectiveness, comprehensive medical and functional assessments will be conducted at baseline, immediately after the 16-week intervention, and at a 3-month follow-up. These evaluations include submaximal and maximal exercise tests on a cycle ergometer to analyze respiratory gases, detailed blood tests, body composition imaging (DXA scans), and maximum dynamic strength testing. Ultimately, the research aims to generate high-quality evidence to optimize standard exercise recommendations for breast cancer survivors and improve their long-term health and resilience.

The goal of this phase I clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of intratumoral injection of mechanically reprogrammed macrophage-derived exosomes (MRMEs) in adults aged 18-65 years with advanced solid tumors who have failed, are ineligible for, or are intolerant of standard therapies.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of KLN-1010 in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

The overall goal of this first-in-human (FIH) clinical trial is to learn about the safety and dosing of COM503 when given alone or in combination with zimberelimab in participants with advanced solid tumors. The primary objectives of this study are: * To assess the safety and tolerability of COM503 as monotherapy and COM503 in combination with zimberelimab in participants with advanced solid tumors. * To identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) / maximum administered dose (MAD) and/or the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of COM503 as monotherapy and in combination with zimberelimab in participants with advanced solid tumors.

The goal of this phase III randomized controlled trial (PRADAIIBE) is to assess if preoperative radiation therapy (Preop-RT) combined with immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) can safely improve both aesthetic and quality of life outcomes in breast cancer patients, compared to the standard of care (SoC) therapy consisting of post-mastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) and delayed/immediate breast reconstruction, in a population of breast cancer patients with an indication of mastectomy and PMRT. The following hypotheses and outcomes will be assessed at the primary endpoint of 1 year of follow-up: * Efficacy: Does Preop-RT+IBR lead to a higher BREAST-Q satisfaction with breasts score (primary endpoint), EQ-5D-5L VAS score , EQ-5D-5L Index score, AIS-Total Aesthetic Score, or a shorter treatment duration compared to SoC? * Safety: Does Preop-RT+IBR lead to an increase in adverse events (general or surgical), a lower rate of pathologic Complete Response (pCR), or worse survival outcomes compared to SoC? \[Note: this study was not powered as a non-inferiority trial, all outcomes will be pooled internationally with parallel studies\] Eligible and consenting participants will undergo screening and baseline assessments. They will then be randomised between experimental (Preop-RT+IBR) and control (SoC) groups, in a 1:1 stratified variable block size design. Follow-up will take place at 3 months, 1, 2, 5, and 10 years after the last study treatment. At baseline and during each follow-up visit each participant will complete the Breast Q 'satisfaction with breasts' and EQ-5D-5L scales, photographs will be taken. During follow-up pCR will be assessed if applicable, adverse events will be registered, and oncological follow-up will be recorded.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if using artificial intelligence to guide intravenous fluid therapy during major cancer surgery can help keep blood pressure more stable compared with usual care in adult patients undergoing major cancer surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does artificial intelligence-guided fluid therapy reduce hypotensive events during surgery? * Does this approach improve recovery and reduce complications after major cancer surgery? Researchers will compare artificial intelligence-guided fluid therapy with standard fluid management to see if the artificial intelligence-guided approach provides better support during surgery. Participants will: * Undergo major cancer surgery under general anesthesia * Receive either artificial intelligence-guided fluid management or standard fluid management during surgery * Be monitored during and after surgery as part of routine clinical care * Be followed after surgery to assess recovery and possible complications

The overarching goal of the current study is to reduce the burden Asian American patients may feel are on their caregivers by designing and testing the feasibility and efficacy of a positive activity intervention designed to increase a sense of autonomy, competence, and connectedness, each of which have been shown to be associated with psychological benefits according to self-determination theory.

The hospital pharmacist plays a vital role at the time of the patient's first prescription in a healthcare facility, to inform the patient about his or her new therapy and create a link between the hospital and the patient's home pharmacy, so that the patient can continue to receive care at home. It is also essential that the hospital pharmacy and the patient's local pharmacy work together within a reasonable timeframe. This will help improve patient care and treatment follow-up, detect any undesirable effects and optimize their management.. The aim of this prospective interventional study is to measure the benefits of pharmaceutical monitoring in healthcare institutions at the initiation of oral therapy on patient compliance, side-effect management and adherence, in comparison with patients without this monitoring. The primary endpoint is compliance with the Girerd questionnaire.

The primary objective of this feasibility study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability, and potential clinical significance of an adaptive stepped-care intervention for improving sleep quality among Chinese cancer patients with mild-to-moderate sleep disturbance, using a sequential multiple assessment randomized controlled trial (SMART) design.

This is an open-label, two-part study in participants with NSCLC, ovarian cancer, or endometrial cancer and will be conducted at multiple study sites. Participants will be assessed for study eligibility prior to admission to the study site. Part A will assess the absolute bioavailability, determine the excretory routes of \[14C\]-Ceralasertib, and evaluate the PK parameters of a Ceralasertib oral dose and a radiolabelled IV microdose of \[14C\]-Ceralasertib. Participants will be admitted to the study site pre-dose Part A and will remain at the study site for excreta (urine and faeces) collections, PK sampling and safety assessments. A washout period days will be observed between dosing in Part A and Part B. Part B will assess the ADME of \[14C\]-Ceralasertib. Participants will be readmitted to the study site for Part B and will remain at the study site for excreta (urine, faeces, and any vomitus) collections, PK sampling, and safety assessments. Participants will return to the study site for a Follow-up Visit after the last dose of Ceralasertib which will include routine safety assessments. After the completion of Parts A and B, and following the Follow-up Visit, participants may be allowed further access to Ceralasertib if in the opinion of the investigator and medical monitor they may derive clinical benefit.

The objective of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to evaluate the effectiveness of the MiLES intervention targeted at employers, on successful return to work (RTW) of employees with cancer, compared to care as usual (CAU). Secundary objectives are: * To evaluate the cost-effectiveness and return-on-investment of the MiLES intervention on successful RTW and quality of life, compared to CAU. * To evaluate the effectiveness of the MiLES intervention on several outcome measures on the level of the employee with cancer (time to RTW, quality of life, quality of working life, received work-related support, and satisfaction with work-related support), and the level of the employer (self-efficacy in providing RTW support, and satisfaction with the RTW process). Participants will be 140 employer-employee with cancer dyads. All dyads will randomly be allocated to the intervention group, of which the employer will get unlimited access to the MiLES intervention, or to the control group in which CAU will be provided. The follow-up of this study will be 12 months. Along with the RCT, a process evaluation using the UK Medical Research Council framework will also be conducted.

This is a prospective, non-randomized clinical trial that aims to describe the efficacy and toxicity of commercially available, targeted anticancer drugs\* prescribed for treatment of patients with advanced cancer with a potentially actionable variant as revealed by a genomic or protein expression test. The study also aims to simplify patient access to approved targeted therapies that are contributed to the program by collaborating pharmaceutical companies and to perform next generation sequencing on tumor biopsies for biomarker analyses. Eligible patients have an advanced solid tumor, multiple myeloma or B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma for which standard treatment options are no longer available and acceptable performance status and organ function. A genomic or protein expression test must have been performed on the tumor and the results must identify at least one potentially actionable molecular variant as defined in the protocol. Results from the molecular profiling test will be used to determine an appropriate drug(s) from among those available in the protocol. The choice of drug will be supported by a list of potential profiles, a molecular tumor board, a knowledge library and by study coordinators for review and approval of the match. The protocol-specified treatment will be administered to the patient once any drug-specific eligibility criteria are confirmed and a fresh pre-treatment biopsy is performed for future genetic studies. All patients who receive treatment with a drug available in the protocol will be followed for standard efficacy outcomes including tumor response, progression-free and overall survival as well as duration of treatment. In addition, treatment related toxicity will be evaluated.
