Filter by:This phase II randomized trial studies how well high dose flu vaccine works in treating children who have undergone done stem cell transplant. Higher dose flu vaccine may build a better immune response and may provide better protection against the flu than the standard vaccine.
The objective of this study is to characterize the safety profile and determine the maximum tolerate dose (MTD) of BXQ-350, when given as a single agent at escalating doses, according to the investigational product (IP) related dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) in patients with advanced solid tumors. Secondarily to assess the preliminary antitumor activity of BXQ-350 in solid tumors and recurrent high grade gliomas.
Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare disease characterized by an aggressive clinical behavior and a poor prognosis. It predominantly affects elderly males with an average age of 67 years at diagnosis and the affected organs are usually the skin, bone marrow, lymph nodes and the central nervous system. Patients with BPDCN have poor outcomes with median overall survival (OS) ranging in the largest series of patients from 8 to 12 months. Patient care must be defined in this pathology. Despite 40%-90% complete remission (CR) rates after initial chemotherapy, relapses are almost inevitable. The investigators have developed a national network to collect clinical and biological data of French patients diagnosed with BPDCN.
Background: Mithramycin is a new cancer drug. In another study, people with chest cancer took the drug 6 hours a day for 7 straight days. Many of them had liver damage as a side effect. It was discovered that only people with certain genes got this side effect. Researchers want to test mithramycin in people who do not have those certain genes. Objectives: To find the highest safe dose of mithramycin that can be given to people with chest cancer who have certain genes over 24 hours instead of spread out over a longer period of time. To see if mithramycin given as a 24-hour infusion shrinks tumors. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older who have chest cancer that is not shrinking with known therapies, and whose genes will limit the chance of liver damage from mithramycin Design: Participants will be screened with: - Medical history - Physical exam - Blood and urine tests - Lung and heart function tests - X-rays or scans of their tumor - Liver ultrasound - Tumor biopsy - Participants will be admitted to the hospital overnight. A small plastic tube (catheter) will be inserted in the arm or chest. They will get mithramycin through the catheter over about 24 hours. - If they do not have bad side effects or their cancer does not worsen, they can repeat the treatment every 14 days. - Participants will have multiple visits for each treatment cycle. These include repeats of certain screening tests. - After stopping treatment, participants will have weekly visits until they recover from any side effects.
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and cancers that originate from the gastrointestinal tract can be resistant to standard chemotherapy and often metastasize to the liver. Lanreotide (Somatuline® Depot) Injection and Yttrium-90 microspheres (SIR-Spheres®) each have FDA approval to treat patients with metastatic NETs. The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment for patients with NETs can be optimized by combining these therapies.
This pilot trial studies the side effects of giving pembrolizumab together with stereotactic radiosurgery to treat patients with melanoma or non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Stereotactic radiosurgery is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor and may cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving pembrolizumab together with stereotactic radiosurgery may be a better treatment for patients with melanoma or non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain.
Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) can cause cervical, throat, anal, and genital cancers. Cancers caused by HPV have a HPV protein called E7 inside of their cells. In this new therapy, researchers take a person s blood, remove certain white blood cells, and insert genes that make them to target cancer cells that have the E7 protein. The genetically changed cells, called E7 TCR cells, are then given back to the person to fight the cancer. Researchers want to see if this can help people. Objective: To determine a safe dose and efficacy of E7 TCR cells and whether these cells can help patients. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older with an HPV-16-associated cancer, including cervical, vulvar, vaginal, penile, anal, or oropharyngeal. Design: Participants will list all their medicines. Participants will have many screening tests, including imaging procedures, heart and lung tests, and lab tests. They will have a large catheter inserted into a vein. Participants will have leukapheresis. Blood will be removed through a needle in the arm. A machine separates the white blood cells. The rest of the blood is returned through a needle in the other arm. The cells will be changed in the lab. Participants will stay in the hospital. Over several days, they will get: Chemotherapy drugs E7 TCR cells Shots or injections to stimulate the cells Participants will be monitored in the hospital up to 12 days. They will get support medicine and have blood and lab tests. Participants will have a clinic visit about 40 days after cell infusion. They will have a physical exam, blood work, scans, and maybe x-rays. Participants will have many follow-up visits with the same procedures. At some visits, they may undergo leukapheresis. Participants will be followed for 15 years.
A Phase I, Open-label, Dose-escalation Study of the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of HMPL-523 in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Mature B-cell Neoplasms
The aim of this study is the safety and efficacy of Bevacizumab plus allogeneic natural killer (NK) immunotherapy to many kinds of recurrent solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerance and Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) of Recombinant humanized anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody (JS001) in patients with advanced solid tumors.
