Filter by:This trial will evaluate safety and efficacy of letetresgene autoleucel (GSK3377794) in participants with metastatic NSCLC.
An ascending dose study in patients with solid tumors to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics and efficacy of birinapant when given in combination with pembrolizumab. A dose expansion phase of 4 cohorts will also be included.
This is an open-label, dose-escalation study of the proviral integration site of Moloney murine leukemia virus (PIM) kinase inhibitor INCB053914 in subjects with advanced malignancies. The study will be conducted in 4 parts. Part 1 (monotherapy dose escalation) will evaluate safety and determine the maximum tolerated dose of INCB053914 monotherapy and the recommended phase 2 dose(s) (a tolerated pharmacologically active dose that will be taken forward into the remaining parts of the study). Part 2 (monotherapy dose expansion) will further evaluate the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of the recommended Phase 2 dose(s). Part 3 (combination dose finding) will evaluate safety of INCB053914 in combination with select standard of care (SOC) agents and will identify the optimal INCB053914 dose in combination with conventional SOC regimens to take forward into Part 4. Part 4 (combination dose expansion) will further evaluate the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of the recommended Phase 2 dose combination(s).
This is a tissue collection protocol to create an annotated biorepository to support future basic and translational research. The study protocol and consent will request patient permission to allow their specimens to be stored for future use in other laboratory/correlative studies without requiring a separate new consent at a future date. It will include also a retrospective review of all patients who have been seen or treated by the Precision Genomics Clinic (waiver of consent requested). No specific research studies/aims are included directly in this proposal. Use of the samples, data, and other resources (cell lines, etc.) created within this protocol will require review/approval by the majority of the Precision Genomics Investigators and appropriate IRB approval.
Prospective study to obtain fresh tumor biopsies and three blood samples from patients with a confirmed histological or cytological diagnosis of well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) or well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) for molecular profiling.
This randomized phase III trial studies the side effects of and compares apixaban and dalteparin in reducing blood clots in patients with cancer-related venous thromboembolism. Venous thromboembolism is a condition in which a blood clot forms in a vein and then breaks off and moves through the bloodstream. Patients with cancer are at increased risk for venous thromboembolism. Apixaban and dalteparin are drugs used to prevent blood clots from forming or to treat blood clots that have formed. It is not yet known whether apixaban or dalteparin is more effective in reducing blood clots in patients with cancer related venous thromboembolism. ADAM-VTE
The primary focus of this clinical study is the objective and subjective measurements of sleep quality in patients with advanced cancer using opioids. It also examines sleep disturbances and associations between sleep quality and symptoms in order to improve symptom management in patients with advanced cancer. The overall aim of this study is to improve the clinical understanding of sleep quality in patients with advanced cancer using opioids and to improve the understanding of how sleep quality may best be measured in order to improve symptom management.
The rollover study will provide ceritinib to patients who are currently receiving treatment with ceritinib within a Novartis-sponsored study and in the opinion of the investigator, would benefit from continued treatment with ceritinib.
Regulation of tissue oxygen homeostasis is critical for cell function, proliferation and survival. Evidence for this continues to accumulate along with our understanding of the complex oxygen-sensing pathways present within cells. Several pathophysiological disorders are associated with a loss in oxygen homeostasis, including heart disease, stroke, and cancer. The microenvironment of tumors in particular is very oxygen heterogeneous, with hypoxic areas which may explain our difficulty treating cancer effectively. Prostate carcinomas are known to be hypoxic. Increasing levels of hypoxia within prostatic tissue is related to increasing clinical stage, patient age and a more aggressive prostate cancer. Several researches indicated that hypoxia might also play a role in esophageal cancer. In glial brain tumors, hypoxia is correlated with more rapid tumor recurrence and the hypoxic burden in newly diagnosed glioblastomas is linked to the biological aggressiveness. In brain metastases CA-IX expression (a marker for hypoxia) is correlated to the primary non-small cell lung carcinomas. Hypoxia enhances proliferation, angiogenesis, metastasis, chemoresistance and radioresistance of hepatocellular carcinoma. The hypoxic markers HIF-1α, VEGF, CA-IX and GLUT-1 were all over expressed in colorectal cancer and its liver metastases. Based on literature, hypoxia in tumors originating or disseminated to prostate, esophagus, brain and rectum cancer will be studied in this trial.
To test whether the Meaning-Making intervention (MMi)(Lee, 2004) plus usual care increases the sense of meaning in life in people newly diagnosed with any type of advanced cancer, compared to similar people who receive 1) usual care alone or 2) usual care plus visits from an empathic visitor, at 2 months after randomization to one of these treatments. The investigators will also evaluate whether any effect is present at 4 and 6 months post-randomization, and the MMi's impact on anxiety/depression, quality of life, existential wellbeing, and posttraumatic growth. To answer our research questions 471 newly diagnosed (<6 months) advanced cancer patients (stages III or IV) will be studied.
