Filter by:This is a phase 1 dose escalation study to characterize the feasibility, safety and tolerability of MCY-M11 when administered as an intraperitoneal (IP) infusion for 3 weekly doses for women with platinum resistant high grade serous adenocarcinoma of the ovary, primary peritoneum, or fallopian tube, and subjects with peritoneal mesothelioma with recurrence after prior chemotherapy. The study will also assess multiple cycles of treatment and adding preconditioning with cyclophosphamide.
This study will evaluate the combination of Nivolumab and Ramucirumab in patients with previously-treated mesothelioma.
Background: Mesothelioma is cancer of the tissue that lines some organs. A new drug, LMB-100, may bind to a protein on mesothelioma tumors and kill cancer cells. But sometimes the body makes antibodies that reduce how well LMB-100 works. Researchers want to see if adding the drug SEL-110 to LMB-100 will prevent these antibodies from forming. Objective: To learn how safe and tolerable LMB-100 plus SEL-110 is in people with advanced mesothelioma. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older who have pleural or peritoneal mesothelioma that has not responded to prior platinum-based therapy Design: Participants will be screened with - Medical history - Physical exam - Blood and urine tests - Sample of tumor tissue. This can be from a previous procedure. - Scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. Participants will lie on a table in a scanner that takes pictures. A special dye may be injected in a vein. - Positron emission tomography (fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET)) scan. A sugar attached to a chemical that gives off a signal will be injected before the scan. - Heart function tests The study will be done in 21-day cycles. Participants will get the study drugs for up to 4 cycles. They will get them through an intravenous (IV) catheter (a tube inserted in a vein, usually in the arm): - LMB-100 for about 30 minutes on day 1, day 3, and day 5 of each cycle - SEL-110 for about 1 hour on day 1 of each cycle Participants will get standard medicines to help prevent side effects. Participants will repeat some screening tests during each cycle and about 5 weeks after the last dose of study drug.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical efficacy and toxicity of anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody plus autologous dendritic cells-cytokine induced killer cell (DC-CIK) immunotherapy combined with hyperthermia in advanced malignant mesothelioma patients.Furthermore,to characterize response to therapy,the investigators intent to explore the predictive biomarker for this regimen.
The purpose of this study is to test any good and bad effects of activity pevonedistat taken alone, and also to test the safety of pevonedistat in combination with standard chemotherapy, pemetrexed/cisplatin.
Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. Most people with lung cancer are already in the advanced stages of the disease by the time they see a doctor. Researchers want to see if combining an approved drug with two new drugs can help. Objective: To study if tetrahydrouridine-decitabine (THU-DAC) with pembrolizumab is safe and effective in people with non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Eligibility: People 18 years and older who have NSCLC that cannot be removed by surgery Design: Participants will be screened with - Medical history - Physical exam - Blood and urine tests - Tests of heart and lung function They may have a small tumor sample taken (biopsy). They may have tumor scans. Before starting treatment, participants will repeat the screening tests. They will also give a stool sample. The study will be done in 3-week cycles for up to 6 cycles. - Participants will take the 2 study drugs by mouth 3-5 days a week. - Participants will get pembrolizumab in a vein for 30 minutes 1 day each cycle. Participants will keep a study medication diary. During cycle 1, participants will have blood taken multiple times on days 1 and 2. Every 3 cycles, participants will repeat screening tests. Participants will have a mandatory tumor biopsy. When they finish treatment, participants will have a physical exam and blood tests.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether CRS-207 with pembrolizumab is safe and effective in adults with MPM who have failed prior anti-cancer therapy.
Background: Mithramycin is a new cancer drug. In another study, people with chest cancer took the drug 6 hours a day for 7 straight days. Many of them had liver damage as a side effect. It was discovered that only people with certain genes got this side effect. Researchers want to test mithramycin in people who do not have those certain genes. Objectives: To find the highest safe dose of mithramycin that can be given to people with chest cancer who have certain genes over 24 hours instead of spread out over a longer period of time. To see if mithramycin given as a 24-hour infusion shrinks tumors. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older who have chest cancer that is not shrinking with known therapies, and whose genes will limit the chance of liver damage from mithramycin Design: Participants will be screened with: - Medical history - Physical exam - Blood and urine tests - Lung and heart function tests - X-rays or scans of their tumor - Liver ultrasound - Tumor biopsy - Participants will be admitted to the hospital overnight. A small plastic tube (catheter) will be inserted in the arm or chest. They will get mithramycin through the catheter over about 24 hours. - If they do not have bad side effects or their cancer does not worsen, they can repeat the treatment every 14 days. - Participants will have multiple visits for each treatment cycle. These include repeats of certain screening tests. - After stopping treatment, participants will have weekly visits until they recover from any side effects.
Primary Objective To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of intrathoracic administration of pemetrexed when given in conjunction with cisplatin in patients with resectable malignant pleural mesothelioma MPM. Secondary Objectives To determine the toxicity and grades associated with cytoreductive surgery and Hyperthermic Intraoperative Chemotherapy HIOC with cisplatin and pemetrexed in patients with resectable MPM. To assess overall survival and progression-free survival after PD or EPP and HIOC with cisplatin and pemetrexed for MPM Correlative Objectives To characterize the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of pemetrexed when administered as a hyperthermic intrathoracic lavage after PD or EPP To determine whether the degree of thymidylate synthase and ERCC1 gene expression in MPM tissue correlates with clinical response to pemetrexed.
This research study can help understand how cardiac changes may occur with radiation therapy to the heart based off measurements obtained through biomarkers and cardiac imaging. Researchers plan to perform cardiac imaging and biomarkers for any cardiac injury. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) provides the ability to quantitatively measure cardiac function and injury. The cardiac biomarkers that will be tested are effective in the diagnosis, risk-stratification, and monitoring of heart failure.
