Survivorship clinical trials at UCSF
3 in progress, 1 open to eligible people
Survivorship care deals with the quality of life after cancer. UCSF conducts trials to see if older patients improve with care plans and follow-up geriatric assessments post-chemotherapy. This involves assessing better care strategies for cancer survivors.
Improving Survivorship Care for Older Adults After Chemotherapy
open to eligible people ages 65 years and up
The researchers want to find out if older adults receiving a survivorship care plan followed by a geriatric assessment visit improves quality of life and satisfaction with care compared to receiving only a survivorship care plan for older adults who have completed chemotherapy for cancer treatment.

Human-centered Injury Thrivorship Pathway for Survivors of Physical Trauma
Sorry, not yet accepting patients
The goal of this clinical trial is to pilot and evaluate a human-centered injury thrivorship pathway in injury survivors. The main question it aims to answer is: • Is the pathway appropriate, acceptable, and feasible to meet the medical and social needs of injury survivors? Injury survivors will be purposively sampled to enroll in the pathway and asked to participate in in-depth interviews and their use of pathway resources will be tracked.

Yoga to Improve Disparities in Cancer Survivorship
Sorry, not yet accepting patients
This clinical trial tests the impact of a racially concordant trainer led yoga program on quality of life and symptom burden in Black and/or African American cancer survivors. Black individuals in the United States are more affected by cancer, despite modern advances. Cancer treatments can impact physical and mental health and overall quality of life and Black individuals report worse physical function and quality of life and less access to culturally appropriate support services. Yoga has been shown to have a positive impact on cancer and cancer treatment related symptoms and quality of life, however, a one size fits all approach has not been shown to be effective in diverse populations. A trainer that shares the same racial or ethnic background as the participant (racially concordant) may have a positive impact on communication, trust, and may improve accessibility and participation. Participating in a yoga program led by a racially concordant trainer may improve quality of life and symptom burden in Black and/or African American cancer survivors.
