COV-IMMUNO - A Randomized, Phase III Trial of Immunization with IMM-101 versus Observation for the Prevention of Severe Respiratory and COVID-19 Related Infections in Cancer Patients at Increased Risk of Exposure


Complexity Level: 2

Eligibility: Patients must be: -undergoing (or be planned to undergo) active treatment for one or more solid malignancy, lymphoma or myeloma, requiring them to present to the hospital or cancer clinic at least twice/month for assessments and/or treatments, anticipated for at least 3 months. - have one or more of the following risk factors for a severe COVID-19 infection: Age > 65 years old; Hypertension (on medications); Type 1 or 2 Diabetes (on medication); A relevant chronic condition as per the investigator based on the medical record including heart, lung, liver and/or serious kidney disease; receiving systemic therapy; Body Mass Index > 40; Living in a nursing home or long term care facility. - Age 18 or greater and an ECOG PS of 0-2

Objectives: Primary objective: to investigate the effectiveness of IMM 101 at preventing "influenza-like illnesses" (ILI), as defined by the WHO, OR a confirmed viral/bacterial respiratory infection (via microbiology or radiography), AND that results in a change or delay in a priori planned cancer treatment or requirement for an unscheduled medical assessment (i.e. emergency room visit, family physician assessment, etc.), hospitalization, or death compared to control subjects. Numerous Secondary and Tertiary/Exploratory Objectives planned.

A Randomized Phase III Study Comparing Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) versus Conventional Palliative Radiotherapy (CRT) for Participants with Painful Non-Spine Bone Metastases

To detemine if staeotactic body radiation therapy is better at reducing bone metastses pain compared to conventional radiation therapy.


Complexity Level: 2

Eligibility: Histologic confirmation of cancer Patient with a dominant painful non-spine bone metastasis and a worst minimum pain score of 2 using the ESAS attributed to the dominant site. Suitable for protocol defined SBRT and EBRT

Objectives: The primary objective is to compare conventional EBRT to SBRT for 3-month complete pain response (CPR) administered to the dominant site of pain using the pain score question from the ESAS instrument and analgesic intake as recommended by the ICPRE

The SEAMLESS Study: A Pragmatic Multi-Site Randomized Waitlist-Controlled Trial of a Smartphone App-Based Mindfulness Intervention for French and English Speaker Cancer Survivors

This study is being done to answer the following question: Can a mindfulness program (Mindfulness Based Cancer Survivorship (MBCS) Journey) delivered through a mobile smartphone application (app) (Am Mindfulness) reduce symptoms such as stress, anxiety, depression, and fatigue. These symptoms fall into the category of psychosocial symptoms and are often experienced by cancer survivors.


Complexity Level: 3

Eligibility: • Adult ≥ 18 years • Diagnosed with any type of cancer (stages I-IV) • Completed primary treatment (i.e. surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy) at least 2 weeks (14days) prior. Note: ongoing maintenance therapy, hormone-blocking therapies, intermittent bone-modifying agents, herceptin and targeted therapy with trastuzumab are not exclusionary

Objectives: • Evaluate the effectiveness of the 4-week MBCS Journey intervention in decreasing total symptoms of stress in adult PLWC at 3 months from randomization • • Determine the impact of the 4-week MBCS Journey intervention on anxiety, depression, fatigue, and overall physical functioning and quality of life in adult PLWC post-treatment, immediately after the therapeutic intervention

Emotion and Symptom-focused Engagement (EASE): A Multi-Site Randomized Controlled Trial of an Intervention for Individuals with Acute Leukemia

Leukemia is the 6th most common cause of cancer death in Canada, with adult acute leukemia (AL) being the most fatal form. Despite the rapid onset and life-threatening nature of AL and its treatment, little research on its psychological and physical effects and the interventions to reduce them have been done. Preliminary evidence has showed that an integrated psychosocial and early palliative intervention (e.g. EASE) reduces physical and psychological distress as compared to usual care (UC).This large, unblended phase 3 randomized controlled trial of EASE vs. UC will tests its effectiveness in reducing and preventing psychological and physical distress in adults with newly-diagnosed or relapsed AL.


Complexity Level: 2

Eligibility: Patients with newly-diagnosed acute leukemia (AL) within 2 weeks of admission who will be receiving induction chemotherapy with curative intent. Patients must be fluent in English and must pass the cognitive screening test.

Objectives: PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: To determine the effectiveness of EASE vs. usual care (UC) to reduce psychological distress and physical symptom severity in adults with newly diagnosed acute leukemia after 8 weeks of implementation. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: (1) To determine the effectiveness of EASE vs. UC to reduce psychological distress and physical symptom severity after 4 and 12 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year; (2) to determine the effects of EASE vs UC on other domains of health-related quality of life; and (3) to conduct post-trial, an economic analysis of EASE to determine the cost-effectiveness of EASE delivery in relation to its effect on reduction of distress in individuals with AL compared to UC.
