Meaning-Centered Counseling for Chinese Patients Who Are Being Treated for Advanced Cancer

The purpose of the study is to modify a type of counseling called "Individual Meaning Centered Psychotherapy" to meet the needs of Chinese cancer patients. Many cancer patients use counseling or other resources to help cope with the emotional burden of their illnesses. Counseling often helps them cope with cancer by giving them a place to express their feelings. "Meaning-Centered" counseling aims to teach cancer patients how to maintain or even increase a sense of meaning and purpose in their lives, despite cancer.

Caregivers-Patients Support Coping With Advanced-Cancer (CASA) Intervention

This pilot aims to prepare the PI to receive hands-on experience in implementation and dissemination and design and lead pilot studies in palliative care. The catchment area communities experience lower cancer health outcomes and are more likely to be diagnosed with advanced cancer when compared to other surrounding areas. The PI's catchment area experiences advanced cancer, and their caregivers are at an increased risk for unmet psychosocial needs; this pre-pilot will allow the PI to focus on this critical gap in equal healthcare. The research goal of this proposal is to refine and pre-pilot an intervention titled Caregivers Patients Support to Cope with Advanced Cancer (CASA), a five-session, 60-minute telehealth series for patient-caregiver dyads. The rationale for this project is that it will lay the groundwork for a Randomized Control Trial (RCT) testing the efficacy of CASA. It will also assess the implementation of an innovative method to deliver the CASA intervention. This study aims to use the collaborative intervention planning framework and ORBIT model to modify and assess the feasibility and preliminary effect of the CASA intervention. The overall impact of this study is to improve access to psychosocial, culturally adapted interventions in the proposed catchment area.

Givastomig Combined With Nivolumab and Chemotherapy in Adults With CLDN18.2 Positive Metastatic Gastric Cancer (GIVA-2)

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if givastomig in combination with standard therapy works to treat adults with cancer in the stomach and/or esophagus (GEA adenocarcinoma). It will also help the researchers to learn more about the safety of givastomig. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the addition of givastomig to standard therapy increase the amount of time that participants survive without progression of their cancer? * What toxicities do participants experience when taking givastomig? Participants may be able to take part in the study if they have unresectable or metastatic GEA and if their cancer cells express certain proteins called Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2) and PD-L1. Participants whose cancer cells express a protein called HER2 cannot take part. Up to 180 participants will be randomly assigned to received givastomig at one of two doses in combination with an immunotherapy medicine called nivolumab and chemotherapy OR to receive nivolumab and chemotherapy alone. These therapies will be given primarily via intravenous (into a vein) infusion every 2 or 3 weeks. Participants will: * Visit the study treatment center for infusions and/or check-ups and tests every 1-3 weeks * Report any changes in their symptoms to their study doctors * Have scans to check for any changes in their cancer every 8-12 weeks

ALIGN for Older Adults With Cancer in SNFs

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if it is possible to deliver a palliative care intervention called ALIGN (Assessing and Listening to Individual Goals and Needs) to hospitalized older adults with advanced cancer who are discharged to a skilled nursing facility and their caregivers. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can the investigator successfully deliver the ALIGN intervention in different skilled community nursing facilities? * Can the investigator successfully collect information from participants throughout the study? * How can the investigator best prepare caregivers to make medical decisions for loved ones that become unable to do so themselves? Researchers will compare ALIGN to care as it is usually delivered. Participants will: * Visit virtually with an ALIGN palliative care social worker every 1-2 weeks during their skilled nursing facility stay and up to 45 days after discharge from the facility or will see a palliative care clinician if recommended by their oncologist or other involved clinician. * Participants will provide information about how they are doing 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after enrolling in the study.

POTENT - Tepotinib in Combination With Pembrolizumab in NSCLC

This clinical study is looking at the combination of two experimental drugs called tepotinib and pembrolizumab. Pembrolizumab, also known as Keytruda, is licenced and available by prescription to treat a variety of cancers. Tepotinib is currently licensed in the UK for use in non-small cell lung cancer (NCSLC) and is being investigated for this purpose. Cancer immunotherapy drugs hold great promise but still do not work for many patients. Laboratory studies on cancers that do not respond well to immunotherapy reveal that most of these tumours do not have any immune cells. This suggests that the cancer has successfully hidden itself and avoided being recognised by the immune system. This study aims to use a novel approach using a targeted drug, tepotinib, to target the gene involved with NSCLC. Tepotinib is a type of drug called a kinase inhibitor. Kinase inhibitors are a newer type of drug being used to try to treat cancers. They act by blocking some of the chemical messengers that are part of the signalling process within cancer cells that control their growth. Tepotinib is used in adults to treat NSCLC that can have certain abnormal changes in the mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor gene (MET) and which has spread and/or cannot be removed by surgery. The changes in the MET gene can make an abnormal protein which can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and cancer. By blocking this abnormal protein, tepotinib may slow or stop the cancer from growing as well as potentially shrinking the cancer. This study will include patients with and without the MET exon 14 mutations. In this clinical study, the investigators aim to test our ideas in a small number of people for the first time, specifically in those patients with cancers which do not respond to cancer immunotherapy.

Community Health Worker Based Intervention to Improve Palliative Care

Ac225-DOTA-M5A is a humanized monoclonal anti-CEA antibody, linked to a radioactive agent called actinium 225. M5A attaches to CEA positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers actinium 225 to kill them.
