Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical activity of gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel, capecitabine, cisplatin, and irinotecan (GAX-CI) in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
This partially randomized phase II/III trial studies how well, in combination with surgery, cisplatin and combination chemotherapy works in treating children and young adults with hepatoblastoma or hepatocellular carcinoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, doxorubicin, fluorouracil, vincristine sulfate, carboplatin, etoposide, irinotecan, sorafenib, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells than one type of chemotherapy alone.
The investigators aim to introduce patients with advanced cancer to supportive care resources, including specialty palliative care, through a novel app called "ELOS" (stands for "extra layer of support) in a prospective cohort study. The investigators will compare participant acceptance of this new electronic tool to industry standards and follow ultimate referrals to outpatient palliative care compared to historical, matched controls.
This study compares the diagnostic performance of Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided fine needle aspiration and EUS guided core biopsy (SharkCore) in patients with a solid pancreatic mass.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dosing frequency of gemtuzumab ozogamicin when given in combination with granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), cladribine, cytarabine and mitoxantrone (GCLAM) and to see how well they work in treating participants with acute myeloid leukemia or high-grade myeloid tumors (neoplasms) that have not been previously treated. Antibody-drug conjugates, such as gemtuzumab ozogamicin, act by directly delivering toxic chemotherapy to cancer cells. Granulocyte colony stimulating factor is a growth factor used to stimulate leukemia cells and render them more sensitive to chemotherapy drugs. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cladribine, cytarabine and mitoxantrone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving gemtuzumab ozogamicin in combination with G-CSF, cladribine, cytarabine and mitoxantrone hydrochloride may work better in treating participants with acute myeloid leukemia or high-grade myeloid neoplasm.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if fulvestrant and abemaciclib can help to control low-grade serous ovarian cancer. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied. This is an investigational study. Fulvestrant and abemaciclib are both FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of several types of cancer. Their use in patients with low-grade serous ovarian cancer is investigational. The study doctor can explain how the study drugs are designed to work. Up to 15 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate MEDI5752 and carboplatin and pemetrexed or paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel in adult subjects with advanced solid tumors, when administered as a single agent or combined with chemotherapy.
The aim of this study is to evaluate whether Hemostatic Agents (HA) make a significant clinical difference in patient outcomes when used for Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy (RALPN). The result of this trial will determine whether HAs are necessary for use during RALPN or if they can be omitted from the surgical tools available during this procedure. This study has a direct clinical implication on a patient's outcomes following RALPN, specifically whether patients will have better, worse, or unchanged outcomes with RALPN if HAs are used.
This phase II Pediatric MATCH trial studies how well palbociclib works in treating patients with Rb positive solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders with activating alterations (mutations) in cell cycle genes that have spread to other places in the body and have come back or do not respond to treatment. Palbociclib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the proteins needed for cell growth.
PRO-COM Project: Randomized-controlled study evaluating the impact of electronic patient reported outcome (ePRO) surveys on patient-physician communication and quality of life in patients with advanced breast cancer
