There are about 173942 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in United States. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
This trial evaluates how well CPX-351 and enasidenib work in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia characterized by IHD2 mutation. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as CPX-351, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Enasidenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving CPX-351 and enasidenib may work better in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia, compared to giving only one of these therapies alone.
This is a phase I/II Study of Nivolumab in Combination with 5-azacytidine in pediatric patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia
PyL, also known as [18F]DCFPyL, is a second-generation fluorinated prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) targeted PET imaging agent. In preliminary studies it demonstrates a higher detection of metastatic prostate lesions compared to standard imaging. Its ability to image metastatic prostate cancer sites was comparable to 68Ga-PSMA with high tumor-to-background ratios.Additionally, [18F] PyL demonstrated higher mean tumor-to-background ratios when using kidney, spleen, or parotid as reference organs. However, the role of [18F] PyL in tumor response to therapy has not been evaluated, specifically the potential to serve as a predictive biomarker of response. Given the high cost of current therapeutic agents in mCRPC, there is a need for an early response biomarker to stratify which patients will benefit from therapy and which will not. This will also allow for earlier change in management of patients who will not response to these therapies, potentially improving patient outcomes.
The overall goal of this study is to identify the most effective and efficient advance care planning (ACP) strategy for patients with advanced cancer. The specific aims are to: Aim 1. Compare the effectiveness of in-person, facilitated ACP versus web-based ACP on patient and family caregiver outcomes. Aim 2. Assess implementation costs and the effects of in-person, facilitated ACP and web-based ACP on healthcare utilization at end of life. Aim 3. Identify contexts and mechanisms that influence the effectiveness of in-person, facilitated ACP versus web-based ACP.
This is a 2-arm randomized waitlist controlled trial. A total of 46 of subjects are planned. Subjects will be assigned to the intervention vs. waitlist control group in a randomized fashion. All subjects will complete baseline assessments prior to randomization. Baseline assessments will be completed within two weeks before the start of the improv series. Subjects in the intervention group will complete 6 consecutive improv classes. Patients in the control group will be permitted to complete the improv course (within 10-12 weeks) and follow-up after their 10 week control timeline is complete. Evaluations for the intervention group will be taken at baseline (T0), the last day of class (T1), one month after the last day of class (T2), and 6 months after the last day of class (T3). Evaluations for the waitlist control group will be taken at baseline #1 (T0), 6 weeks after T0 (T1), one month after T1 (T2), first day of class (Baseline 2, T0b), last day of class (T1b), one month after the last day of class (T2b), and 6 months after the last day of class (T3b). Screening data will be reviewed to determine subject eligibility. Subjects who meet all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be entered into the study. Total duration of the study is expected to be 2 years.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of a research pre- and peri-transplant optimization program (R-PPOP) to improve multiple domains of health including physical function, cognitive function, mental health, and diet and nutrition for patients planning to undergo or undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT).
This study evaluates the use of a social-network approach to encourage African-American men who have sex with men (AAMSM) to adopt pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to prevent HIV infection. Thirty-six networks of AAMSM will be recruited in Milwaukee, WI, and Cleveland, OH. Half of these networks will have their leaders trained to endorse PrEP to their social network members, and the other half will be given brief HIV prevention counseling.
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is widely found in central and peripheral systems, and the immune system. Moderate-intensity aerobic exercise has shown to increase circulatory endocannabinoids. In this study, we will study Tai Chi, a mind-body moderate-intensity exercise, intervention for its effects on ECS in women. A pre-post design trial will be conducted on 18 qualified subjects. We will measure plasma eCB levels at baseline, before and after 4th session of Tai Chi. All data will be analyzed statistically at p<0.05.
This study investigates if a new drug (PSMA) makes prostate cancer easier to identify in positron-emission tomography (PET) imaging. If this works, prostate cancer treatments can be prescribed that match the location of the disease. PSMA is radiolabeled with Gallium-68 (Ga-68). This means a participant receives a small dose of radiation from the drug - less than the annual radiation limit for a medical worker. To test this new drug, participants will receive an injection of Ga-68 PSMA and then have a PET scan. This PET scan, and the reported results, will be entered into the medical record and shared with the treating oncologists.
QT interval prolongation and neutropenia are considered to be important identified risks for ribociclib. The approved dosing regimen of ribociclib is 600 mg daily (QD) on a 3 weeks on/1 week off schedule. The purpose of the study is to explore whether a reduced dosing regimen of 400 mg ribociclib orally QD 3 weeks on/1 week off may decrease the risk of QTc prolongation without compromising the efficacy of ribociclib in combination with a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor (NSAI) in pre- and postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR-positive), HER2-negative advanced breast cancer (aBC) who have not received prior therapy for advanced disease.
