Filter by:Project HERO is a 12-week study of the efficacy of Body Mind Training (BMT) for reducing fatigue in male cancer survivors. This 3-arm randomized clinical trial will examine inflammatory biology and selected gene-expression pathways that are hypothesized to contribute to the intervention's effect.
Tinostamustine (EDO-S101) is a new chemical entity, an AK-DAC (a first-in-class alkylating deacetylase inhibiting molecule), that in pre-clinical studies has been shown to simultaneously improve access to the DNA strands within cancer cells, break them and block damage repair. This Phase 1/2 study will enroll patients with various advanced solid tumors.
Advanced soft tissue sarcoma patients who have previously recieved anthracyclines might still benefit from doxorubicin, ifosfamide and dacarbazine. However doxorubicin might be stopped using because of chronic cumulative heart toxicity. Several efforts have been made to improve the toxicity profile of conventional anthracyclines, including the use of liposomal encapsulation technology and the development of novel anthracycline analogs,such as pegylated liposomal doxorubicin and pirarubicin. However their actual effectiveness and toxicity have not been studied in prospective trial. The purpose of the study is to investigate whether they are available for this group of patients.
This phase I/II trial studies pembrolizumab and radiation therapy in treating patients with intermediate or high-grade soft tissue sarcoma. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving pembrolizumab and radiation therapy may work better in treating patients with soft tissue sarcoma.
The objective of the trial is to assess the efficacy of Durvalumab and Tremelimumab in comparison to doxorubicin in treatment-naïve Soft tissue sarcoma patients
This research study is studying a drug called pembrolizumab as a possible treatment for aggressive lymphoma or a histiocyte or dendritic cell neoplasm. The drug involved in this study is: -Pembrolizumab
There is no clear treatment for patients with limited cutaneous Kaposi sarcoma (KS). Radiation and injection of vinblastine both have side effects that may not be acceptable. Nivolumab has been used to treat more extensive KS when given intravenously. This is, to the investigators' knowledge, the first trial to see if nivolumab can be used as treatment in the form of an injection into KS lesion.
This phase II trial studies how well nivolumab with and without ipilimumab and radiation therapy when given before surgery works in treating patients with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma or dedifferentiated liposarcoma that can be removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving nivolumab, ipilimumab, and radiation therapy may work better in treating patients with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma.
Background: A person s genome is the collection of all their genes. A gene instructs individual cells to make proteins. Proteins are involved in all of our body s chemical processes. Genome sequencing allows researchers to find variations in genes. Some of these are normal and are not known to cause disease. Some variants are known to cause or affect diseases like cancer. Researchers want to study genetic variants in people with cancer who also have an immunologic disease like HIV. Objective: To study the biology of cancer in order to improve ways to prevent, detect, and treat it. Eligibility: Adults at least 18 years old with certain cancers and/or immunodeficiencies Design: Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, and lab tests. Participants will give samples of one or more tissue type. They may give blood or urine samples. Researchers may get samples of tissue when participants have surgery or when the participants are on other protocols in the NCI. Participants may have a procedure to have tissue samples removed. Researchers may collect data from participant medical records. Researchers will compare the genes in a participant s cancer tissue to their normal tissue. They may use the tissue cells to grow new cells in a lab. Participants may be contacted about the results. The samples will be stored for future research. No personal data will be kept with them. ...
Kaposi sarcoma (KS) has an unpredictable course, patients with disseminated KS starting combined Antiretroviral Therapy can develop Immune Reconstitution Syndrome (IRIS), with a severe clinical presentation and high mortality (severe-IRIS-KS). The objective of this study is to evaluate the presence of Severe IRIS-KS and it´s attributable mortality in patients with AIDS and disseminated KS with the use of valganciclovir prior to the initiation of cART compared with the standard management of immediate cART initiation.
