A Special Program of Recovery for People with Bladder Cancer
(IRB#: IRB_00150155)
People diagnosed with bladder cancer who receive surgery often have some type of malnutrition (eating issue) that can make it harder to recover. A support program has been designed to see if it can reduce dietary problems from bladder cancer surgery. Research is needed to learn if the program improves the quality of life and reduces the risk of malnutrition. We want to know if the program is effective and improves a persons nutrition.

Assess the Science of Daily Experiences and Quitting Smoking
(IRB#: IRB_00157042)
Tobacco is related to at least 20 different cancers. Most attempts to quit smoking fail. Technology has been developed to better understand how real-time experiences related to a persons identity and emotions impact efforts to quit smoking. Research is needed to assess the support people need to stop smoking. The information we learn may aid future patients.

Dual-Tracer Theranostic Position Emission Tomography (PET)
(IRB#: IRB_00158172)
Position Emission Tomography (PET) /CT scans are a way to see images inside of the body. Theranostics are a combination of using a radioactive drug to diagnose and a second radioactive drug to deliver therapy. Research is needed to develop methods that combine 2 different types of scans. These may be given to patients with neuroendocrine tumors and prostate cancer. The goal of the study is to eliminate the need to have the scans given separately and combine them into one patient health clinic visit.

HCI-Total Cancer Care Study
(IRB#: IRB_00089989)
This study is a partnership between participants, health care providers, and researchers. Our aim is to better understand what causes cancer and to find better ways to prevent, detect, and treat cancer more successfully while also supporting your family. This study is an opportunity to contribute samples and information that will be used to accelerate cancer research and improve patient care. Participants like you are vital to our success. The study also offers access to a broader set of clinical trials and new treatments through our partnership with other leading cancer centers nationally. There is no cost to be in this study. No matter what you decide, it won't change the relationship with your health care providers to affect the quality of your care.

Improving Health Insurance Literacy for Young Adult Cancer Survivors
(IRB#: IRB_00164028)
Health insurance can be difficult for young adults with cancer to find answers to questions about their health insurance plan. This studys purpose is to help young adult cancer survivors understand their health insurance and costs. People in this study are required to complete 3 online surveys over 12 months. Each survey will take about 20 minutes. Participants will be paid for completing each activity. Some participants will receive a digital informational booklet about health insurance while other participants will receive this booklet and also complete 4 health insurance support sessions with a navigator. Sessions will be completed on Zoom and last about 45 minutes.

Long-Term Follow-Up of Patients Who Received Lentiviral-Based CAR-T Cell Therapy
(IRB#: IRB_00079262)
People with specific types of cancer such as leukemia and lymphomas may receive Lentiviral-Based CAR-T Cell Therapy. This is to help improve the symptoms of this disease. Research is needed to learn the long-term safety and effectiveness of the therapy. The information we gain may provide further guidance to patients, doctors, and researchers.

Meal Timing for Cancer Prevention of Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander Families
(IRB#: IRB_00166790)
Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders face a higher risk of obesity-related cancer than other racial/ethnic groups, especially cancer of the uterus, and a higher possibility of cancer risk factors like poor diet and metabolic (how food creates energy) dysfunction. The study will test culturally tailored dietary (eating) strategies for effects on metabolic (how food creates energy) health and mental health among NHPI women at risk of obesity-related cancer, such as colon and breast cancer. The information will help to better understand strategies to improve the health of Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander populations. People in the study will participate in group discussions that last 60 to 90 minutes. Participants will also complete surveys and use a cell phone to track their health. Being in the study will last about 13.5 months. Medical tests will be done to track the health of participants. Participants are paid for their time in the study.

Testing the Treatment of Donor Cell Transplants for Children and Young Adults with Severe Myeloid Leukemia
(IRB#: IRB_00152764)
This study is testing the treatment with Natural Killer cells from a donor to a patient, which may lower the chance that a blood disease severe myeloid leukemia will come back after a haploidentical (half-matched) transplant (moving cells from a donor to a patient). The study wants to see if the treatment will help people with severe myeloid leukemia. People in the study will receive Natural Killer cells from a central line placed in the body, most likely the chest. A central line is a tube that allows medications, medical tests, and transfusions to occur. Transfusion is a way to move blood from a donor to a patient. Being in the study requires attending in-person study visits at a clinic for about 2 years. Medical tests will be done to track the health of participants.

Ultraviolet Ray Prevention for Children
(IRB#: IRB_00121617)
Melanoma is the 6th most common type of skin cancer in the United States. The just-in-time intervention (JITAI) application (app) is a tool used on a cell phone. The tool can help children and adults know how much time in ultraviolet rays (UVL) from the sun. Research is needed to learn what children and adults think about using the JITAI app. We hope to reduce the time children spend in UVR, so sunburns occur less.
