Filter by:This phase I trial studies the side effects of nivolumab and IRX-2 and how well they work in treating participants with stage III-IVA oral cavity cancer or human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal cancer that can be removed by surgery. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. IRX-2 may "turn on" the immune system and stimulate an immune response against tumor cells. Giving nivolumab and IRX-2 followed by surgery may work better at treating oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancer.
This trial studies nutritional preferences and product accessibility in oral nutritional supplements in participants with breast, colorectal, upper gastrointestinal, or prostate cancer. Learning what participants like and dislike about their current or past used nutritional supplements may help doctor know how to improve them.
This is a phase 1b/2 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of metronomic combination therapy in subjects with advanced, unresectable, and untransplantable HCC.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein (sEphB4-HSA), and to see how well it works in treating participants with bladder cancer that has come back or that isn't responding to bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine treatment. sEphB4-HAS prevents tumor cells from multiplying and blocks several compounds that promote the growth of blood vessels that bring nutrients to the tumor. Giving sEphB4-HSA may work better in treating participants with bladder cancer.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer. This type of cancer may be "hypervascular". Hypervascular means there is an increased number or concentration of blood vessels. These blood vessels get their blood supply from the hepatic artery, while the non-tumor liver tissue gets blood supply from the portal vein. Therefore, blockage of the hepatic artery to cut off the blood supply to the tumor is possible without affecting the normal liver. This research protocol will study chemoembolization using radiopaque beads loaded with a chemotherapy drug called doxorubicin. Chemoembolization is a procedure in which the blood supply to a tumor is blocked after anticancer drugs are given in blood vessels near the tumor. In this study, the anticancer drug, doxorubicin, is attached to small beads that are injected into an artery that feeds the tumor. The radiopaque beads (RO beads) are visible on imagining scans (X-rays) so that the Interventional Radiologist performing the chemoembolization procedure can see the location of the beads in the tumor during and after the procedure. The visibility of the beads allows the interventional radiologist to confirm where the beads loaded with doxorubicin have been delivered in the tumor; this in theory could help to improve the efficiency of embolization and plan the next course of treatment. In addition to the embolization, the beads elute a sustained dose of doxorubicin locally to the tumor site as a second effect.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of talimogene laherparepvec and to see how well it works in treating patients with non-muscle invasive bladder transitional cell carcinoma. Biological therapies, such as talimogene laherparepvec, use substances made from living organisms that may attack specific tumor cells and stop them from growing or kill them.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well radiation therapy and pembrolizumab work in treating patients with urothelial bladder cancer that is restricted to the site of origin, without evidence of spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving radiation therapy and pembrolizumab may work better in treating urothelial bladder cancer.
This pilot clinical trial studies how well social media listening works in improving clinical trial recruitment in patients with cancer. Social media listening and recruitment on Twitter may enhance enrollment for cancer-related clinical trials.
A phase II, open label, single arm, single agent study using nivolumab in patients who failed 2 or more lines of previous chemotherapy for recurrent/metastatic NPC (At least 1 line should include platinum based chemotherapy)
This is a phase 2 single arm study of a novel schedule of hyperfractionated radiotherapy (RT) in combination with our standard chemotherapy program for patients with stage 3-4 squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx. The primary hypothesis of our study is that the study program will improve Laryngectomy-Free Survival compared to historical controls. The study is limited to patients who would be receiving primary RT-C as standard therapy off-study.
