NCT06843213
The purpose of the study is to develop an acceptable, feasible, and effective peer-led bundle of health resilience and promotion services to be delivered in the hospital setting, called the THRIVE intervention. The main question it aims to answer is: Will participants receiving the THRIVE intervention have a reduced risk of self-reported non-fatal overdoses OR skin/soft tissue infections compared to participants receiving enhanced usual care? Researchers will compare the THRIVE model to enhanced usual care to see if the THRIVE model helps participants reduce their number of self-reported non-fatal overdoses OR skin/soft tissue infections. Intervention participants will: * Receive one in-person session from a peer support specialist while in the hospital * Receive weekly text messages from the peer support specialist for a 12-week period * Receive monthly, multiple-choice assessments via text message at Month 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 * Complete a baseline, 3-month, and 6-month assessment with Research Assistants Enhanced usual care participants will: * Receive a handout with health resilience education and resources in their local area * Receive monthly, multiple-choice assessments via text message at Month 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 * Complete a baseline, 3-month, and 6-month assessment with Research Assistants
NCT07282834
This research study aims to improve the treatment of Peritoneal Carcinomatosis (PC), a condition where cancer spreads within the abdomen. Patients with PC often experience significant pain and nutritional problems. Currently, there isn't a standard treatment approach, and doctors use different combinations of chemotherapy, surgery, and methods to deliver chemotherapy directly into the abdomen (intra-peritoneal or "IP" chemotherapy). The study will compare two IP chemotherapy methods: HIPEC and PIPAC. HIPEC involves circulating heated chemotherapy through the abdomen during surgery, while PIPAC delivers chemotherapy as a pressurized aerosol during a laparoscopic procedure. Both methods aim to achieve the same goal, but they haven't been directly compared to see which is safer, more tolerable, more effective, and provides better value.
