Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to determine the highest and safest dose of the experimental drug veliparib when combined with nivolumab. We will also study how safely this combination of medication can be given in advanced cancer and lymphoma and benefits of receiving this therapy. Nivolumab is currently approved in certain cancers such as melanoma, lung cancer and kidney cancer. Veliparib is not yet approved for use in the United States, and is considered experimental. Veliparib inhibits (blocks) the activity of the enzyme PARP. This blocking activity may prevent the cancer cell from repairing itself and resume growing. Nivolumab increases T cells in your immune system, which allows your immune system to attack the cancer. We think the combination of these drugs will be more effective against your cancer.
The primary goal of this Phase 1 study is to characterize the safety and tolerability of INCMGA00012 and establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of INCMGA00012 administered on either every two week or every four week schedules of administration among patients with solid tumors. Pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and the anti-tumor activity of INCMGA00012 will also be assessed. The purpose of Amendment 5 is to obtain additional safety experience at the newly defined recommended Phase 2 dose of 500 mg every 4 weeks in patients with endometrial cancer, specifically either microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficient (dMMR). Additionally, every 3 week (Q3W) flat-dosing will be studied in an additional tumor agnostic cohort.
This is an open-label and triple cohort study of the safety and efficacy of TALEN and CRISPR/Cas9 to possibly treat HPV Persistency and human cervical intraepithelial neoplasiaⅠwithout invasion.
This research trial studies the Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Cancers Clinical Model in evaluating clinical, psychosocial, and health economic factors in adolescent and young adult patients with cancer. Studying the Adolescent and Young Adult Cancers Clinical Model may help doctors learn more about the effect of the AYA services on patient care, including clinical (nurse navigation), psychosocial (social work), and economic (financial) areas.
The purpose of this study is to assess the mass balance (that is, cumulative excretion of total radioactivity [TRA] in urine and feces) and to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of pevonedistat in whole blood, plasma, and urine, and of TRA in plasma and whole blood following a single 1-hour infusion of 25 milligram per square meter (mg/m^2) [14C]-pevonedistat intravenous (IV) solution containing approximately 60 to 85 microcurie (mCi) (approximately 2.22-3.145 megabecquerel [MBq]) of TRA in participants with advanced solid tumors in Part A.
To improve the function and welfare of late stage solid cancer subjects by: - enabling subjects to benefit from a potentially promising drug under development - assessing initial evidence of improvement in Pain VAS score - assessing initial improvement in Performance Status (PS) - assessing initial improvement in oxygen saturation whenever it is feasible
It is a multicenter prospective observational study including consecutive patients with esophageal tumor or rectum with indication for radiotherapy The main objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of fiducial markers placement under EUS guidance. The evaluation criteria are: - Success rate evaluation of the placement of two markers : one in the upper part of the tumor and one in the lower part. Success of the procedure will be evaluated by the endoscopist at the end of the procedure. Pictures of the markers will objectify the good placement of the markers. - Complications (early within 24 hours and late complications) such as pain, bleeding, perforation, infection, migration of the markers - The length of the procedure - The costs (procedure, hospitalization) - The clinical efficacy, by studying the decrease of the estimated target volume, the decrease of the dose delivered to the healthy tissue and the improvement of positioning of the irradiation beams by the radiotherapy technician - The presence of the markers at the end of the radiotherapy
Medical titanium plates are routinely used in fixing mobilized bone segments in jaw surgeries. Generally these plates are commercialized with standard construction specifications. Thus they should be repeatedly bended and arched to match the contour of anchored jaw bones before located in place and fastened by screws. To prevent stress fatigue induced by plate bending and improve structural design, we utilized the three-dimensional printing technique and developed a new production procedure in fabricating customized titanium plates according to each patient's specific skeletal contours and dimensions derived from medical imaging data. In general, the three-dimensional printing of customized implants are expected to facilitate surgical operation, reduce application duration and improve precise restoration. Up until now, the application of three-dimensional printing of titanium fixation plates in jaw surgery has been available only at two centers globally. The published preliminary work have proved the prospect of customized titanium plates in promoting mandibular reconstruction surgery and upper maxilla orthognathic surgery though their printed titanium plates looked rather bulky and the sample sizes were small and there is still lack of qualified randomized controlled trials between the printed and the conventional titanium plates. To better benefit from the burgeoning use of three-dimensional printing in health care, it is imperative to conduct a feasibility study in exploring the application of three-dimensional printing of titanium fixation plates in jaw surgery based on our patients. The aim of the study is to conduct a case series study focusing on the feasibility and safety of applying three-dimensional printed titanium plates in jaw reconstruction surgery and orthognathic surgery. The outcome measures include the success rate, potential adverse events and accuracy. A sample size of 48 subjects will be recruited prospectively. Considering the facts that titanium plates are widely used in jaw surgery and our unit is the largest oral and maxillofacial surgery center in Hong Kong, the well-designed customized titanium plate is therefore with great potential benefit for the patients in our population. Furthermore, the well-developed three-dimensional manufacturing protocol could also be applied in other relevant medical areas and push forward the personalized medicine era in the future.
This research study is studying a combination of targeted therapies as a possible treatment for Advanced Solid Tumors. The study interventions involved in this study are: - LY2606368 - Olaparib
If you are reading and signing this form on behalf of a potential participant, please note: Any time the words "you," "your," "I," or "me" appear, it is meant to apply to the potential participant. The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if giving genetically changed immune cells, called CAR-NK cells, after chemotherapy will improve the disease in stem cell transplant patients with relapsed (has returned) and/or refractory (has not responded to treatment) B-cell lymphoma or leukemia. Also, researchers want to find the highest tolerable dose of CAR-NK cells to give to patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma or leukemia. The safety of this treatment will also be studied. This is an investigational study. The making of and infusion of genetically changed NK cells and the drug AP1903 (if you receive it, explained below) are not FDA approved or commercially available for use in this type of disease. They are currently being used for research purposes only. The chemotherapy drugs in this study (fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and mesna) are commercially available and FDA approved. Up to 36 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.
