Filter by:This research trial studies how well pre-test genetic education and remote genetic counseling works in communicating tumor profiling results to patients with advanced cancer. Web-based genetic education before receiving tumor profiling results and remote genetic counseling for patients with potential germline mutations may increase genetic knowledge and reduce distress for patients with advanced cancer.
Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are clonal hematopoietic disorders sharing a common natural evolution: a chronic phase, characterized by a major risk of vascular events, followed by an accelerated phase eventually leading to transformation to acute leukemia. MPN include polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, primary myelofibrosis, and rarer entities. During the past years, CML became a paradigm for targeted therapy and personalized cancer medicine. For other MPNs, the discovery of the JAK2V617F mutation followed by many other mutations, opened similar perspectives. However, several questions remain to be answered in MPNs regarding the clinical implication of these major scientific discoveries: what is the clinical impact of JAK2V617F and other molecular biomarkers on the risks of complications and progression? Can these new biomarkers be used in the perspective of a personalized therapy of MPNs? his project will focus on the qualification of a series of known mutations as biomarkers in MPNs based on large multicenter cohorts of patients with well-annotated samples
The aim of this study is to evaluate the endoplasmic reticulum stress markers as predictive for response to hydroxyurea in polycythemia vera (PV) and essential thrombocythemia (ET).
The objectives of this study are to study the safety and effect of IRE as a treatment for inoperable hepatic and pancreatic malignancy.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of applying the SLN mapping technique in combination with FDG-PET/CT imaging in women with high-risk histology endometrial cancer and in patients with cervical cancer tumour size 2-4 cm.
The trial is designed to perform a rigorous evaluation of efficacy and tolerability of SBRT by means of a randomised, controlled trial in patients affected by inoperable colorectal liver metastases. The chosen comparator is MWA. The two modality treatments (SBRT versus MWA) will be evaluated for short- and longer-term outcomes.
This is a first-in-human study evaluating the anti-T cell immunoglobulin and mucin containing protein-3 (TIM-3) antibody TSR-022. The study will be conducted in 2 parts with Part 1 consisting of dose escalation and Part 2 dose expansion. Part 1 will determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of TSR-022 and Part 2 will evaluate the antitumor activity of TSR-022 in combination with TSR-042 or docetaxel and as monotherapy.
You are being asked to take part in this study because you have advanced melanoma. The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if oral azacitidine (CC-486) and pembrolizumab (MK-3475) can help to control melanoma. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied. This is an investigational study. Azacitidine is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia. Pembrolizumab is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of melanoma. It is considered investigational to use this drug combination to treat melanoma. The study doctor will explain how the study drugs are designed to work. Up to 71 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of the combination of alisertib and TAK-228 that can be given to participants with advanced solid tumors that are associated with HPV. Researchers also want to learn if the study drug combination can help to control advanced solid tumors.
Background: This protocol is designed to have samples from closing protocols transferred to this protocol for long-term storage. The protocol is concerned with the retention of blood, plasma, serum, CSF, aspirates, bone marrow, ascites fluid, urine, saliva, PBMCs, skin, mucosal, tumor and healthy tissue samples from patients with cancer to support basic science and clinical research activities of the Medical Oncology Branch and other intramural Laboratories and Branches at the NIH Clinical Research Center and Center for Cancer Research. Objectives: To allow long-term storage of biospecimens collected during prospective clinical trials in patients with various cancer phenotypes, as needed to support the research activities of the Medical Oncology Branch and other Laboratories and Branches. Eligibility: Samples eligible for long-term retention must be from those who have signed consent for storage and retention of biospecimens. Design: Acquired samples will be barcoded and associated data will be entered into an encrypted computer software system, and securely maintained to protect patient identifiers. Samples are retained and made available to the original PI, or other Investigators with the original PI's permission, following submission and approval of a supplemental research protocol to the IRB or OHSRP.
