Filter by:The purpose of this study is to use agnostic genomic evaluation using whole exome sequencing (WES) of a variety of rare hematologic diseases grouped under rare blood diseases and its variants to further elucidate the understanding of the chemistry of these disorders and identify potential actionable mutations that can be targeted with therapies in the context of clinical trials.
This clinical trial is looking at two new vaccines called ChAdOx1-MAGEA3-NYESO, MVA-MAGEA3 and MVA-NYESO given with patients' standard of care treatment (chemotherapy and an immune checkpoint inhibitor).
This phase I trial finds the best dose and side effects of venetoclax in combination with cladribine, cytarabine, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, and mitoxantrone (CLAG-M) in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia and high-grade myeloid neoplasms. Venetoclax may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cladribine, cytarabine, and mitoxantrone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving venetoclax with CLAG-M may kill more cancer cells.
The purpose of this study is to compare two different techniques to perform the standard of care surgery to treat prostate cancer. This surgery is called robotic radical prostatectomy. There are two robotic surgical systems approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to perform this surgery. First system is called the Da Vinci ® Xi system. With this system, six small incisions are made during the surgery. Second system is called the Da Vinci ® SP system. With this system a single incision is made during the surgery. Same surgery is done with each surgical system. This study aims to understand whether a single incision surgery ends up with better recovery after surgery.
Our investigational team has developed a technology to visualize the operative margins in 'real time,' in other words during the operation while the patient is still on the table. While different surgeons use different operative techniques, our technique involves removing the main lumpectomy specimen, marking two of its borders with suture to orient the specimen for correct pathologic evaluation. The FLIM (Fluorescent Lifetime Imaging Microscopy) technique can differentiate between cancerous and noncancerous specimens using a complex algorithm that essentially utilizes a definitive delta between the metabolic activities of diseased and non-diseased tissue. The research coordinator along with the surgeon will be able to insert the lumpectomy specimen followed by the 6 shaved margins (one by one) in a matter of minutes once the specimens have been resected. To be clear, the FLIM analysis will be taking place in- vitro. The device is invitro test and would be tested against the gold standard the pathologist biopsy. FLIM analysis by the surgeon will not take more than several minutes, therefore not adding any significant time for patient to be under anesthesia. All specimens will be removed from the patient's body prior to their evaluation by the FLIM technique. Our team will not be making decisions based on FLIM analysis during this early phase of study. In other words, even if FLIM suggests a positive margin still exists in the body, our team will not act on these results by resecting additional tissue at this stage. FLIM margin results will be compared directly with pathology results for accuracy of the findings.
This phase I trial identifies the side effects and best dose of DS-8201a and olaparib in treating patients with HER2-expressing cancers that have spread to other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery or endometrial cancer. Olaparib is a drug that blocks an enzyme involved in many cell functions, including the repair of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage. Blocking this enzyme may help keep tumor cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. DS-8201a is an antibody-drug conjugate. This agent has two components: an antibody component and a chemotherapy component. The antibody component is attached to the chemotherapy molecules. Upon administration of DS-8201a, the antibody targets and binds to tumor cells that have abundant HER2 (human-epidermal growth factor receptor 2), which is a protein on the surface of some tumor cells. The chemotherapy then enters the cells and blocks DNA replication in the tumor cells with abundant HER2, causing them to die. Giving DS-8201a and olaparib may shrink or stabilize the cancer.
This study will evaluate the combination of a poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor, niraparib, with the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitor, dostarlimab in the pediatric population. This study will be conducted to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and efficacy of niraparib in combination with dostarlimab in pediatric participants with recurrent or refractory solid tumors.
This is a Phase 1 study of JSI-1187 as monotherapy and in combination with dabrafenib for the treatment of advanced solid tumors with MAPK pathway mutations, including mutations that cause MAPK pathway hyperactivation.
This phase I/IIa trial studies the best dose and side effects of rintatolimod and interferon (IFN) alpha-2b in treating cancer patients with COVID-19 infection. Interferon alpha is a protein important for defense against viruses. It activates immune responses that help to clear viral infection. Rintatolimod is double stranded ribonucleic acid (RNA) designed to mimic viral infection by stimulating immune pathways that are normally activated during viral infection. Giving rintatolimod and interferon alpha-2b may activate the immune system to limit the replication and spread of the virus.
The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate the antitumor activity of atezolizumab and rucaparib in patients with selected advanced solid tumors as measured by the Overall Response Rate
