This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of avelumab, utomilumab, rituximab, ibrutinib, and combination chemotherapy in treating patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma or mantle cell lymphoma that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Monoclonal antibodies, such as avelumab, utomilumab, and rituximab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as etoposide phosphate, carboplatin, and ifosfamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving avelumab, utomilumab, rituximab, ibrutinib, and combination chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma or mantle cell lymphoma.
The combination lenalidomide plus low-dose dexamethasone (Rd) is an active treatment for Multiple Myeloma (MM) patients, both at diagnosis and at relapse. Pomalidomide, is an immunomodulatory molecule (IMID), derivative of thalidomide, developed to improve the efficacy and reduce the toxicity of the parent molecule. Pomalidomide and dexamethasone (pom-dex) proved to be an effective and safe treatment in MM patients refractory to lenalidomide and refractory/intolerant to bortezomib. The addition of chemotherapy to novel drugs has been evaluated both at diagnosis and at relapse. The combination of pomalidomide-cyclophosphamide-prednisone proved to be safe and effective in relapsed/refractory MM patients. The combination pomalidomide-cyclophosphamide-dexamethasone (pom-cyclo-dex) was tested in a phase II study in patients with relapsed and refractory MM, demonstrating a good tolerability using pomalidomide at the dose of 4 mg. Pom-cyclo-dex resulted in a superior response rate and Progression-Free Survival (PFS) compared to pom-dex. The increased hematologic toxicities, as a result of the addition of oral cyclophosphamide, were manageable. With an overall response rate of 65% the combination demonstrated a promising efficacy.The first aim of our trial, is to compare the combination of pom-cyclo-dex vs pom-dex. Relapsed myeloma is defined as previously treated myeloma that progresses and requires the initiation of salvage therapy. According to International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) recommendation, biochemical relapse is defined as an increase of ≥ 25% of tumor burden from lowest value, without any CRAB feature (CRAB is defined as the onset of clinical symptoms: hypercalcemia, renal failure, anemia and bone lesions) and detected in 2 consecutive determinations. Clinical relapse requires one or more direct indicators of progressive disease and end organ dysfunction (CRAB features). Treatment at relapse should start in case of clinical relapse or a significant paraprotein increase (doubling of M-component in 2 months). In case of biochemical relapse the standard is observation only, as in case of asymptomatic MM at diagnosis. However, a recently published trial, showed improved PFS and OS for newly diagnosed asymptomatic patients treated with lenalidomide and dexamethasone in comparison with observation only. Our hypothesis is that similarly, in the relapse setting, patients may benefit from an early intervention, meaning a treatment at biochemical relapse and not only in case of clinical relapse or rapid increase of M-component.
This phase II trial studies how well deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) plasmid-encoding interleukin-12/human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA plasmids therapeutic vaccine INO-3112 and durvalumab work in treating patients with human papillomavirus associated cancers that have come back or spread to other places in the body. Vaccines made from a gene-modified virus may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving DNA plasmid-encoding interleukin-12/HPV DNA plasmids therapeutic vaccine INO-3112 and durvalumab may work better in treating patients with human papillomavirus associated cancers.
Stereo-Re-Pro aims to provide further evidence of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) as a supplementary non-invasive curative treatment for local recurrence following radiotherapy. The objective of the first part of the trial (Phase I) is to select the recommended dose for salvage SBRT (either 5 x 6 Gy, 6 x 6 Gy, or 5 x 5 Gy) based on dose-limiting toxicity observed during the 18 weeks following the initiation of salvage-SBRT. Particular attention will be paid to the quality of life and tolerance of the treatment. The objective of the second part of the trial (phase II) is to estimate the efficacy of the salvage-SBRT in terms of biochemical relapse-free survival rate.
Walled of necrosis (WON) is severe local complication of acute necrotizing pancreatitis. Disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome(DPDS) is commonly seen (50-60%) after necrotizing pancreatitis and has long term implication like recurrent pancreatic fluid collections (PFC)] requiring re-intervention. Incidence of recurrent PFC is more common in patients with DPDS (17-50%) compared to others. Studies has shown permanent in-dwelling transmural stent reduces recurrence of PFC (1.7% vs 17.4%, p<0.001). Nowadays,WON is effectively managed with endoscopic step up approach (96%). Several studies showed dedicated self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) are effective compared to the plastic stents in management of WON with decreased need of re-intervention. However, SEMS cannot be kept for longer duration because of associated adverse events. So, experts recommend to remove SEMS within 4-6 weeks of placement. Considering this background, study is planned with aim to see the effect of transmural plastic stenting on recurrence of PFC after SEMS removal in walled off necrosis with DPDS.
This project is dedicated to identify the patients with possible higher risk of adenoma recurrence who should have follow-up colonoscopy in yearly interval. As a result, it can lead to optimizing the of follow-up colonoscopies intervals in real-world practice.
Approximately 90% of children with malignant brain tumors that have recurred or relapsed after receiving conventional therapy will die of disease. Despite this terrible and frustrating outcome, continued treatment of this population remains fundamental to improving cure rates. Studying this relapsed population will help unearth clues to why conventional therapy fails and how cancers continue to resist modern advances. Moreover, improvements in the treatment of this relapsed population will lead to improvements in upfront therapy and reduce the chance of relapse for all. Novel therapy and, more importantly, novel approaches are sorely needed. This trial proposes a new approach that evaluates rational combination therapies of novel agents based on tumor type and molecular characteristics of these diseases. The investigators hypothesize that the use of two predictably active drugs (a doublet) will increase the chance of clinical efficacy. The purpose of this trial is to perform a limited dose escalation study of multiple doublets to evaluate the safety and tolerability of these combinations followed by a small expansion cohort to detect preliminary efficacy. In addition, a more extensive and robust molecular analysis of all the participant samples will be performed as part of the trial such that we can refine the molecular classification and better inform on potential response to therapy. In this manner the tolerability of combinations can be evaluated on a small but relevant population and the chance of detecting antitumor activity is potentially increased. Furthermore, the goal of the complementary molecular characterization will be to eventually match the therapy with better predictive biomarkers. PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: - To determine the safety and tolerability and estimate the maximum tolerated dose/recommended phase 2 dose (MTD/RP2D) of combination treatment by stratum. - To characterize the pharmacokinetics of combination treatment by stratum. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: - To estimate the rate and duration of objective response and progression free survival (PFS) by stratum.
This pilot phase I trial studies the side effects of direct tumor microinjection and fludeoxyglucose F-18 positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) in testing drug sensitivity in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, or stage IV breast cancer that has returned after a period of improvement or does not respond to treatment. Injecting tiny amounts of anti-cancer drugs directly into tumors on the skin or in lymph nodes and diagnostic procedures, such as FDG-PET, may help to show which drugs work better in treating patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, or breast cancer.
