To provide "prescriptions" for weekly Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) boxes of fruits and vegetables to patients, accompanied by nutritional education (e.g. printed newsletters and YouTube videos), and evaluate benefits for participants by exploring commitment to the program, opinions about healthy eating, retention of nutrition and food preparation knowledge, overall takeaway from the program, as well as self-assessment of health status. To establish the overall feasibility of an effective "prescription produce" program for at-risk and underserved patients - called "ProduceRx" - by utilizing produce from regional farms in addition to the resources of the Penn State Health System and an interdisciplinary team of healthcare workers (dietitians, dietetic interns, and medical students). To provide a proof-of-concept for this model (i.e. ProduceRx + interdisciplinary approach to health education) for other healthcare institutions.
NCT02311907
This randomized phase III trial is studying glutathione to see how well it works in preventing peripheral neuropathy caused by paclitaxel and carboplatin in patients with ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and/or primary peritoneal cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Chemoprotective drugs, such as glutathione, may help prevent peripheral neuropathy caused by paclitaxel and carboplatin. It is not yet known whether glutathione is more effective than a placebo in preventing peripheral neuropathy.
