Filter by:This is a single-arm, open-label, single-center, phase I study. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety of CD7 CAR-T therapy for patients with CD7-positive relapsed or refractory T-ALL/LBL, and to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of CD7 CAR-T in patients.
This phase II trial tests how well atezolizumab works in combination with tiragolumab in treating patients with rare solid tumors that may have spread from where they first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced stage). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab and tiragolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. The study biopsy takes small pieces of cancer tissue from a tumor. The purpose of these biopsies is to compare the body's immune response against the tumor before and after treatment with the study drugs. Blood samples will also be collected for the study. The researchers will use the samples to learn more about how atezolizumab and tiragolumab work and which patients in the future might be most likely to respond to atezolizumab and tiragolumab. Using atezolizumab in combination with tiragolumab may help to shrink tumors in patients diagnosed with advanced stage rare solid-tumor cancers.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether a cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for fatigue intervention is acceptable, feasible, and effective at managing fatigue and improving quality of life for patients following hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mRNA vaccine for the EBV-positive Advanced Malignant Tumors.
This study is an open-label, multi-arm, parallel cohort, dose validation and expansion design. The study is modular in design, allowing evaluation of the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics (PK) of NUC-3373 in combination with other agents for the treatment of patients with different tumour types. Each module is designed to evaluate a different NUC-3373 combination and consists of a dose-validation phase (Phase Ib) and a dose-expansion phase (Phase II). Phase Ib of each module will determine the safety and tolerability of the combinations for further clinical evaluation in Phase II. Approximately 6-20 evaluable patients will be enrolled in the Phase Ib stage of each module to determine safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of NUC-3373 in combination with other agents. Each module will then move into Phase II to enable a further assessment of safety and efficacy in approximately 20-40 patients. Module 1 will assess NUC-3373 + leucovorin (LV) in combination with pembrolizumab for the treatment of patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumours who have progressed on ≤2 prior therapies for metastatic disease, that may have included 1 prior immunotherapy-containing regimen (either monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy) or who have not progressed but where addition of NUC-3373 + LV to standard pembrolizumab monotherapy may be appropriate (e.g., patients who could not tolerate post- immuno-oncology (IO) standard of care therapy). Module 2 will assess NUC-3373 + LV in combination with docetaxel for the treatment of patients with advanced/metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or pleural mesothelioma who have progressed on, or were unable to tolerate, 1 or 2 prior lines of cytotoxic chemotherapy-containing regimens for advanced/metastatic disease. The opening of each module will be at the discretion of the Sponsor. Further modules may be added as non-clinical and clinical data become available to support additional NUC-3373 combinations and tumour types.
Human gene therapy products are designed to achieve therapeutic effect through genetic modifications of human cells using retroviral or lentiviral vectors, resulting in permanent or long-acting changes in the human body. With this genetic modification comes risk of undesirable adverse events. Due to this risk, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Center for Biologics Evaluation and research (CBER) require long-term follow-up (15 years) of participants that receive investigational gene therapy products that meet defined criteria. This protocol will provide a mechanism by which to appropriately monitor participants that have received a genetically modified cellular product on a St. Jude initiated study.
Determine the safety, tolerability, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of IV administered VIP236 as monotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumor cancer
This phase III trial determines whether taking prophylactic letermovir will reduce the likelihood of infection with cytomegalovirus (CMV) in children and adolescents after stem cell transplant. The treatments used to prepare for HCT reduce the body's natural infection-fighting ability and increase the likelihood of an infection with a virus called cytomegalovirus. "Prophylaxis" means to take a drug to prevent a disease or side effect. Letermovir is an antiviral drug that stops cytomegalovirus from multiplying and may prevent cytomegalovirus infection and make the disease less severe.
Background: Mastectomies are traditionally performed under general anesthesia (GA), often with the addition of regional anesthesia for post-operative pain relief. Thoracic paravertebral blocks (TPVB) had previously been described in the literature to be sufficient for intra-operative anesthesia as an alternative to GA. A 2021 literature review by Cochrane Library comparing paravertebral anesthesia (with or without sedation) to general anesthesia for patients undergoing oncologic breast surgery showed that TPVB could reduce post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV), hospital stay, postoperative pain and time to ambulation. It also resulted in greater patient satisfaction compared to GA. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of single-injection TPVB done under ultrasound guidance for patients undergoing breast cancer surgery without axillary node dissection. Hypothesis: Single-injection thoracic paravertebral block is non-inferior to multiple (3) injections for oncologic unilateral breast surgery anesthesia. Methods: The current study is a prospective randomized controlled trial of patients undergoing oncologic breast surgery without axillary node dissection or immediate reconstruction. Patients will be randomized into two groups; thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) single-injection or TPVB multiple (three) injections. Significance/Importance: Oncologic breast surgery performed under TPVB and sedation lowers the risks of post-operative nausea and vomiting, decreases peri-operative use of narcotics, decreases pain scores at rest and on mobilization and leads to better overall patient satisfaction when compared to GA. It also leads to shorter hospital stays. Most studies use multiple injections to perform the block. Even though the risks associated with TPVB are low (3.6 per 1000 surgeries), the single-injection technique could reduce the risks even more. One injection is also easier to perform and of shorter duration, leading to greater patient tolerance and less side effects related to blocks performance duration such as vaso-vagal reactions or general discomfort. To date, no studies have compared the efficacy of single-injection paravertebral block and multiple injection techniques as the main modality of anesthesia for breast cancer surgery.
The goal of this research study is to determine whether a self-administered, psychosocial mobile application (CARE app) is effective at improving the quality of life and experience of caregivers of patients receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT).
