Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether a combination of Nivolumab and Daratumumab is safe and effective when treating Pancreatic, Non-Small Cell Lung or Triple Negative Breast Cancers, that have advanced or have spread.
This study will use video technology in conjunction with in-person participation. This is a pilot project, where all enrolled participants will receive the multidisciplinary intervention. Participants (patients and caregivers) from Mayo Clinic Rochester will attend an in-person group session, and participants (patients and caregivers) from Mayo Clinic Florida or Northfield Mayo Clinic Radiation Oncology Center will participate through the use of video conferencing. The goals are to examine feasibility (percent of eligible patients and caregivers who enroll), attrition, and adherence (attend at least four of the six sessions), to determine any differences between the two formats, and to examine potential QOL differences as a result of the intervention.
Immunotherapy includes a class of medication called checkpoint inhibitors, which are a relatively new medication therapy for many types of cancer which are metastatic, meaning it has spread to other parts of the body.Immune therapy medication may be given safely with radiation treatment, and in rare cases it may even make radiotherapy more effective. When radiation therapy is given in the "palliative" setting it is given to treat pain/discomfort and not necessarily shrink or get rid of the tumour. Palliative radiotherapy may be given for many reasons, but common examples include painful bone or liver tumours, brain metastases, or symptoms from a chest tumour such as feeling breathless, cough, or bleeding. Palliative radiotherapy is usually given in smaller amounts and less frequently than other types of radiation therapy. Because checkpoint inhibitors are relatively new there is not a huge amount of evidence looking at how patients respond when the treatments are combined, or in which patients immune therapy may make radiation therapy even more effective. This study is looking at the way patients who are on or about to start immune therapy and who have been recommended for palliative radiotherapy, respond to the combination of these two treatments. The purpose of this study is to describe the treatment outcomes in patients with cancer that has spread who are managed with a combination of immune therapy medication and radiotherapy. This research is being done because there is limited information about the outcomes of combined immune therapy and radiotherapy treatment from a patient's perspective, but also in terms of which patients may have a better response to combined treatment. In particular, the study aims to describe how combined treatment affects cancer not only in the area where radiotherapy is given, but also outside the part of the body that receives radiotherapy (which is called "abscopal" effect).
The purpose of this research study is to compare two ways to educate patients with cancer and their caregivers about hospice care services
This is a single-arm, open-label, one center, dose escalation clinical study, to determine the safety and efficacy of infusion of autologous T cells engineered to express immune checkpoint antibody and chimeric antigen receptor targeting mesothelin in adult patients with mesothelin positive, recurrent or refractory malignant tumors.
This is a phase 2 study whose purpose is to see whether the combination of of pembrolizumab, DPX-Survivac vaccine and low-dose cyclophosphamide has anti-tumor activity in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer. DPX-Survivac is an investigational vaccine. A vaccine is a substance that is often given to stimulate the body's immune system (the structure and processes in the body that protects against harmful substances) to help prevent against certain diseases. DPX-Survivac is a vaccine that may teach the immune system to recognize cancer cells and to kill them. Pembrolizumab is a drug that is approved for the treatment of a certain type of melanoma (a type of skin cancer) and non-small cell lung cancer. Pembrolizumab blocks the function of a protein called programmed cell death receptor-1 (PD-1). PD-1 works by keeping the immune system from destroying cancer cells. Stopping PD-1 from working may help the immune system to fight cancer cells. Cyclophosphamide is chemotherapy drug that is approved for the treatment of various cancers alone and in combination with other drugs.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate tolerability of merestinib monotherapy or in combination with other anti-cancer agents in Japanese participants with advanced and/or metastatic cancer.
To study the pharmacokinetic characteristics of TQ-B3101 in the human body, recommend a reasonable regimen for subsequent research.
A phase 1, dose escalation study of evorpacept (ALX148) in patients with advanced solid tumors and lymphoma
EGFR Tyrosine-Kinase Inhibitor monotherapy is widely used in treatment of patients with EGFR mutation-positive Non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC), In despite of the benefit of PFS （progression-free survival） , the OS （ overall survival） is limited extended. This study is aim to observe the safety and efficacy of the combination of an anti-angiogenic drug recombinant human-endostatin with EGFR TKI ,to find out a new strategy which may further extend the PFS and OS with a tolerated toxicity.
