NCT04684862
This is a single-site, open-label continued access study/treatment protocol under a treatment IDE. In addition to treating patients, the primary objective of this study is to assess the safety of using the Medtronic SynchroMed II programmable pump combined with the Intera tapered catheter for hepatic artery infusion (HAI) of a standard chemotherapy (FUDR) drug for adults with a clinical or biopsy-proven diagnosis of colorectal cancer metastatic to the liver or intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. After successful implantation, the combined pump and catheter system will be evaluated using a nuclear scan in the postoperative period, which is standard procedure to confirm that the pump is functioning prior to HAI of FUDR. Monitoring for safety will include a record of residual pump volume when it is emptied (every 2-12 weeks depending on whether the pump is being used for chemotherapy infusion) to determine if the pump is still working and surveillance of routine cross-sectional imaging (usually every 2-6 months) for any sign of a pump or catheter problem. Patients will be monitored for the safety of the pump/catheter combination for up to 5 years or pump removal/study withdrawal.
NCT07230795
This project aims to use machine learning algorithms (MLA) to identify and risk-stratify individuals between the ages of 45-49 who are more likely to have colorectal pathology and merit prioritized CRC screening and patient navigation. Patients deemed to be at higher risk for CRC by MLA will be randomized to an intervention group to receive risk-informed patient navigation and a usual care control group. The patient navigation will assist in completing either a fecal immunochemical test (FIT) or a colonoscopy. For the usual care control group, patients may still receive patient navigation for colonoscopy assistance. A referral to a nurse navigator can be initiated by a healthcare staff member in the following ways: 1) procedure scheduling staff will provide navigator's contact number if the patient expresses difficulty with obtaining a ride home 2) endoscopy staff and physicians can message navigator electronically 3) PCPs can place a navigation order in the EHR for patients deemed to need additional support such as with prep, education, transportation 4) providers will directly contact the director of the navigation system (Dr. Carmen Guerra) for referral.
