Using Reiki Therapy to Improve Symptoms Associated With Brachytherapy in Patients With Gynecological Malignancies

The goal of this open label, randomized, controlled clinical trial is to assess the benefits of providing Reiki therapy to subjects receiving their first brachytherapy treatment for gynecological malignancies. Participants will either receive a session of Reiki therapy or usual care during the standard wait time between the placement of the brachytherapy device and brachytherapy treatment. Questionnaires will be administered at various time points on the day of the participant's first brachytherapy treatment as well as at the three month follow-up time point. Researchers will compare the intervention (Reiki therapy) and control (usual care) groups to assess the impact of the Reiki therapy on anxiety, pain, state anxiety, depression, and physiological measurements.

A Phase 1 Study of ATV-1601 in Patients With Advanced Cancer That Have AKT1 E17K Mutations

This is a Phase 1, open-label study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ATV-1601 administered orally in adults with AKT1 E17K-mutant, advanced solid tumors and also in HR+/HER2- advanced and metastatic breast cancer, with or without fulvestrant.

PROmOting Gynecologic Cancer Patients With Frailty to Achieve Functional Recovery

The Effect of Dimenhydrinate on Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting After Abdominal Hysterectomy: Randomized-controlled Trial

The aim of this clinical trial is to learn if Dimenhydrinate works to prevent postoperative nausea-vomiting in adult women who undergoing abdominal hysterectomy. The primary question is: Does Dimenhydrinate lower the proportion of postoperative nauseavomiting during the day 1 after surgery. Researcher will compare Dimenhydrinate to a placebo (a-look-alike substance that contains no drug) which will give intravenously when the patient come back to the ward, to see if Dimenhydrinate work to prevent nauseavomiting during the postoperative day1. All participants will receive standard treatment during pre-operative, intra-operative and the immediate post-operative periods. Participants will receive Dimenhydrinate or placebo only one dose after discharge from the recovery room. During the day 1 postoperative, participants will report their symptoms and keep a diary of the number of tmes they use additional anti-emetic drugs.
