Filter by:This pilot phase I trial studies how well ilorasertib works in treating patients with cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A)-deficient solid cancers that have spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced) or have spread to other places in the body (metastatic) and cannot be removed by surgery. Ilorasertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of the study drug known as LY3076226 in participants with advanced or metastatic cancer.
Through clinical observation and data statistics, conclude the clinical outcome of target therapy in metastasis colorectal cancer and explore some biomarkers that relate to target therapy.
This study will evaluate the efficacy of cryoablation for palliation of painful metastases in participants with metastatic lesions involving bone who have failed, are not candidates for, or are not experiencing adequate pain relief from current pain therapies (for example, radiation, analgesics).
Groin lymph node dissection for melanoma patients is burdened by high post-operative morbidity, mainly related to wound. This is a prospective pilot trial investigated feasibility and postoperative outcomes of videoscopic ilioinguinal lymphadenectomy in patients with inguinal lymph node melanoma metastases.
This randomized pilot trial studies vaccine therapy and pembrolizumab in treating patients with prostate cancer that does not respond to treatment with hormones (hormone-resistant) and has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Vaccines made from deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), such as pTVG-HP plasmid DNA vaccine, may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may find tumor cells and help kill them. Giving pTVG-HP plasmid DNA vaccine and pembrolizumab may kill more tumor cells.
Immune-based therapies (vaccines) are a new focus of clinical investigation. These therapies try to assist a patient's immune system (a system in our bodies that protects us against infection) in killing tumors. One form of such therapy is the dendritic cell combined with HER-2/neu (a type of protein over-expressed in some cancers) vaccine. Dendritic cells are immune cells that can tell your immune system to fight infection. In laboratory testing, these cells may also help the immune system attack tumors such as breast, kidney cancer or skin cancer. The purpose of this research study is to determine if it is both possible and safe to administer" this vaccine to patients with any HER2+ cancer.
The purpose of this study is to find out if special blood tests and imaging scans can help evaluate the effects of the radiation the patient receives as part of standard treatment. The patient will undergo either stereotactic or conventional radiation treatment as determined by the treating doctor. Previous evidence suggests that blood flow to tumors is affected by the amount (dose) of radiation that it receives. This effect may be seen as soon as 1-2 hours after the radiation is given. This study will evaluate if these changes can be seen and measured by performing a special type of scan called Intravoxel Incoherent Motion (IVIM) diffusion-weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and a blood test. IVIM MRI is a research exam which is similar to a standard MRI exam, with only a slight difference in the technical parameters used to acquire the images.
The study protocol is based on a multi-center semi-quantitative approach of EUS elastography data in combination with contrast-enhanced EUS, consisting of measuring SR and SH for focal pancreatic masses and lymph nodes, as well as several parameters of CE-EUS based on time-intensity-curve (TIC) analysis. A number of parameters must be taken into consideration, as the ROIs are still manually selected by the user. The aim of the study is to establish an EUS based diagnostic algorithm in patients with pancreatic masses and lymph nodes, with negative or inconclusive cytopathology after EUS-FNA, based on previously published results and cut-offs of elastography and contrast-enhancement. The proposed algorithm of sequential use of real-time elastography, followed by contrast-enhanced EUS could be a good clinical tool to help select the patients with possible pancreatic adenocarcinoma or malignant lymph nodes, in the setting of patients with negative EUS-FNA results.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of irreversible electroporation (IRE) for unresectable Lymph Node Metastases.
