Filter by:This trial studies how well a decision aid website works in helping to make decisions about fertility in participants with cancer. Decision aid websites that provide information about fertility preservation (maintaining your ability to have children of your own after cancer treatment) may help participants with cancer make fertility-preservation decisions.
This is a phase II, single-group pilot study to evaluate efficacy and methylation. This study's overarching aim is to evaluate the systemic effects of black raspberries in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm. Twenty-one patients with MDS will be treated with 25 gm (2x/day) of BRB powder taken orally.
The goal of this clinical research study is to determine whether using sugammadex, given with a standard muscle relaxation drug during bladder surgeries, improves anesthesia conditions and recovery time. During some bladder operations, your muscles must be completely relaxed. Muscle relaxation drugs cause the muscles to relax, including the respiratory muscles, and as a result artificial ventilation is needed to help you breathe. Sugammadex and other standard drugs reverse the effect of the muscle relaxation drugs, allowing you to breathe on your own after the operation. Study Groups: If you agree to take part in this study, you will be randomly assigned (as in the flip of a coin) to 1 of 2 study groups. This is done because no one knows if one study group is better, the same, or worse than the other group: - If you are in Group 1, you will receive sugammadex to reverse the muscle relaxation. - If you are in Group 2, you will receive the standard of care (neostigmine/glycopyrrolate) to reverse the muscle relaxation. You and the surgeon will not know which group you have been assigned to. However, the anesthesiologist and study staff will know. Length of Study: You will be on study for up to 1 week after the cystoscopy. If you are unable to have the procedure performed, you may be taken off study early. This is an investigational study. Sugammadex and neostigmine/glycopyrrolate are all FDA approved and commercially available to reverse muscle relaxation. The comparison of these drugs is investigational. Up to 50 participants will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.
This is a modular, first time in patient, open-label, multicentre study of OMO-1, administered orally, alone and in combination with anti-cancer treatments, in patients with locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic solid malignancies.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of olanzapine for the treatment of cancer patients with chronic nausea and/or vomiting unrelated to chemotherapy or radiation in a randomized placebo-controlled pilot trial.
Gestational trophoblastic neoplasias (GTN) are characterized by the persistence of elevated hCG titers after complete uterine evacuation of a partial hydatidiform mole (PHM) or a complete hydatidiform mole. GTN patients are commonly treated with single agent treatment (methotrexate or actinomycine-D) or polychemotherapy (first line treatment EMA-CO) according to the predicted risk of resistance to single agent treatment by FIGO score. GTN patients with resistance to these treatments are treated with another single agent drug or polychemotherapy regimens. Chemotherapy standard regimens are old and toxic for these young lady patients, with potential long term effects detrimental for further maternity and quality of life. There is a need for modern targeted agents with better benefit/toxicity profiles. There is a strong rational for investigating the anti-PDL1 monoclonal antibody avelumab in chemoresistant GTN patients. Several elements suggest that the normal pregnancy immune tolerance is "hijacked" by GTN cell for proliferating : - Spontaneous regressions of metastasic GTN are regularly observed, thereby the role of immune system for rejecting GTN cells. - Strong and constant overexpression of PDL1 and NK cells has been found in all subtypes and settings of GTN tumors from French reference gestational trophoblastic center. - The case of complete and durable response to pembrolizumab was reported in a patient with multi chemo-resistant GTN.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of entospletinib (ENTO) monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapy in Japanese participants.
SHR-1210 is a humanized anti-PD1 IgG4 monoclonal antibody. This is a randomized,Phase III, multicenter ,open-label study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SHR-1210 with carboplatin and pemetrexed versus carboplatin-pemetrexed in subjects who are chemotherapy naive and have Stage IIIB/IV non-squamous NSCLC. The primary hypothesis is that SHR-1210 combined with carboplatin and pemetrexed prolongs Progression Free Survival (PFS) in per RECIST 1.1 by blinded independent central review (ITT population and population was indicated by high PD-L1 expression) compared to carboplatin and pemetrexed treatment .
Effectiveness of high flow oxygen therapy in patients with hematologic malignancy acute hypoxemic respiratory failure
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if GSK2636771 given in combination with pembrolizumab can help to control the disease in patients with refractory (has not responded to treatment) metastatic melanoma. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied. This is an investigational study. Pembrolizumab is FDA approved and commercially available and FDA approved for the treatment of several types of cancer, including melanoma. GSK2636771 is not FDA approved or commercially available. It is currently being used for research purposes only. The study doctor can explain how the study drugs are designed to work. Up to 41 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.
