Filter by:This pilot trial studies how well telotristat etiprate works in treating participants with well differentiated neuroendocrine neoplasm that has spread to other places in the body and monitored by carbon C 11 alpha-methyltryptophan (AMT)-emission tomography (PET). Telotristat etiprate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Studying the changes within the tumor cells via AMT-PET may help doctors better understand how tumors respond to treatment with telotristat etiprate.
Human papillomavirus (HPV)-related cancers are on the rise in the United States. Furthermore, greater than 90% of cervical cancer cases are attributable to HPV, and cervical cancer disproportionately affects women of color in both incidence and mortality. Due to low HPV vaccine uptake in the US, innovative approaches to vaccinating vulnerable populations are necessary in order to maximize the cancer prevention potential of this vaccine. The puerperium is a time period when women are engaged in the healthcare system and have almost universal access to affordable health care. Two prior studies have shown that postpartum HPV vaccination is acceptable to patients, and high rates of vaccination were achieved in these primarily Hispanic populations. However, data show that the immune response in young women is less robust than in adolescents, and no studies have examined immunogenicity in postpartum women specifically. We propose an HPV vaccination pilot study in women who receive postpartum care at University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) hospital. We will examine the acceptability, uptake and immunogenicity of the vaccine in the postpartum setting.
Hematologic malignancy patients are admitted to ICU in increasing numbers. Successful ICU intervention has led to an increasing number of ICU survivors; however, there is a lack of information available about these patients' long term survival and quality of life. There is little Canadian data regarding ICU survival and regarding 1-year survival and functional outcomes in this group of patients. Over 500 patients are admitted annually to Canadian ICUs with an underlying hematologic malignancy or stem cell transplant, yet there is a paucity of up to date long-term outcome data. This information will facilitate a better understanding who would best benefit from critical care interventions and the impact of critical illness on their level of function at 1 year as well as survival.
This study is open to adults with different types of advanced cancer (solid tumors). The purpose of this study is to find out the most suitable dose of BI 907828 (brigimadlin) the participants can tolerate. The most suitable dose is used in the second part to find out whether brigimadlin makes tumors shrink. In this study, brigimadlin is given to humans for the first time. Brigimadlin is a so-called MDM2 inhibitor that is being developed to treat cancer. Brigimadlin is taken as a tablet. Participants either take a dose of brigimadlin on one day every 3 weeks or on two days every 4 weeks. The participants are in the study for as long as they benefit from and can tolerate treatment. The doctors regularly check the participants' general health during the study.
This phase II trial studies how well autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes LN-145 (LN-145) or LN-145-S1 works in treating patients with ovarian cancer, triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), anaplastic thyroid cancer, osteosarcoma, or other bone and soft tissue sarcomas that do not respond to treatment (refractory) or that has come back (relapsed). LN-145 is made by collecting and growing specialized white blood cells (called T-cells) that are collected from the patient's tumor. LN-145-S1 is made using a modified process that chooses a specific portion of the T-cells. The T cells may specifically recognize, target, and kill the tumor cells.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of TAK-164 and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and schedule.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of RXC004 as monotherapy and in combination with Nivolumab in patients with advanced malignancies. In order to define the doses and schedules for further clinical evaluation.
GSK1795091 is being developed for administration in combination with other immune system modulators for the treatment of cancers. The study will be conducted in two parts. In Part 1, dose escalation will be performed to identify combination dose levels comprising GSK1795091 with either 24 milligrams (mg) GSK3174998 (Part 1a), 80 mg GSK3359609 (Part 1b), or 200 mg pembrolizumab (Part 1c). One dose level of GSK3174998, GSK3359609, or pembrolizumab with up to 5 dose levels of GSK1795091 are planned for evaluation. In Part 2 (dose-expansion), subjects will receive a single dose level of GSK1795091 as identified based on data from Part 1, in combination with either GSK3174998, GSK3359609, or pembrolizumab.
This research study is designed to provide a better understanding of study drugs cetuximab (Erbitux®) and palbociclib when used in combination to treat patients with metastatic colon cancer.
This pilot study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of the combination of pembrolizumab, decitabine and fixed-dose hypofractionated index site radiotherapy in pediatric and young adult patients with relapsed, refractory or progressive non-primary CNS solid tumors and lymphomas. Primary Objectives - To determine the feasibility of administering pembrolizumab in combination with decitabine and hypofractionated index lesion radiation - To identify the treatment related toxicity and tolerability of the combination of decitabine and pembrolizumab with hypofractionated index lesion radiation Secondary Objective To preliminarily define the anti-tumor efficacy of the combination of pembrolizumab, decitabine and hypofractionated index lesion radiation in patients with relapsed, refractory, or progressive non-CNS solid tumors and lymphomas using overall response rate (CR + PR) by irRECIST after 2 cycles of therapy. Exploratory Objectives To profile the kinetics of the immune response and to correlate with promotor methylation changes, nuclear imaging, stool microbiota diversity, and tumor associated antigen immune responses.
