Filter by:The goal of this phase 1 open label clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of CodaLytic, an intratumorally-administered oncolytic virus, in patients with metastatic or otherwise inoperable breast cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How safe is CodaLytic when administered in escalating dosing groups into targeted lesions? - What is the impact of CodaLytic on lesion response and disease progression? Eligible participants will be enrolled into four (4) escalating dose groups and treated with Codalytic through injection into a selected lesion(s) over twelve (12) weeks and then followed for up to one (1) year after the first dose. A safety committee will review the safety profile of each dosing group before the next dose-escalation. Study procedures will include physical examinations, injection site assessments, biopsies, imaging, and collection of blood/urine to assess safety, the body's immune response, and efficacy.
This clinical trial explores if using virtual reality (VR) headsets will help to improve patient understanding of their disease and decrease anxiety about treatment. Three-dimensional (3D) images may help the patient visualize their tumor and location better and therefore understand potential side effects. Visualizing a virtual representation of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) linear accelerator (Linac) may decrease treatment related anxiety.
REFIT-MSS is a non-randomized, multicenter, open-label, multi-cohort, 2-stage, phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of regorafenib in combination with tislelizumab (referred as Rego-Tisle) in adult patients with select advance, previously treated, Mismatch Repair-Proficient/Microsatellite (pMMR/MSS) stable solid cancers. The multi-cohort design will allow for the examination of 8 separate cohorts of different cancers to determine whether further examination may be warranted in the individual indications.
Historically, palliative care in the US has been rooted in the cultural values of a Caucasian, Christian middle class. Greater understanding of how culture influences the delivery of palliative care to minority patients is needed to achieve health equity. The purpose of this study is to learn more about the cultural values (Hindu customs and beliefs) and palliative care (specialized care for people living with a serious illness) preferences of the Hindu community. To the study team's knowledge, there has not been another study that has used a research approach to help better understand and measure the cultural values and palliative care preferences of Hindu participants with cancer and their caregivers.
This is a single-arm, open-label, exploratory clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of novel Mesothelin CAR-T in patients with Mesothelin-positive advanced refractory solid tumors.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of novel autologous CAR-T cells in patients with hematopoietic and lymphoid malignancies.
This phase I trial tests whether embolization done prior to surgery (preoperative) will improve surgical outcomes in head and neck tumors with large amounts of blood vessels (hypervascular). Embolization is a minimally invasive surgical technique performed under angiographic (imaging of blood vessels) guidance. Embolization therapy injects tiny particles into the arteries feeding tumors to cut off their blood supply which may help improve outcomes by preventing blood loss during surgery, reducing surgical times, and shrinking tumors or reducing recurrence.
This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of alpelisib and whether alpelisib and carboplatin work to shrink tumors in patients with solid tumors or human papillomavirus (HPV) positive squamous cell carcinoma that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Alpelisib belongs to a group of medicines called phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors. This means alpelisib blocks the activity of the PI3K protein. The PI3K pathway is well known to be involved in tumor cell multiplication and survival. Blocking PI3K may reduce the ability of certain cancers to grow. Carboplatin is an anticancer drug or chemotherapy drug that binds to DNA causing damage that prevents the DNA from replicating, which prevents the cells itself from reproducing. Giving alpelisib and carboplatin may help control the disease in patients with solid tumors and HPV positive squamous cell carcinoma.
This early phase trial proposes to study of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) with navoximod and NLG802, a prodrug of indoximod. Combinations of immune-oncology (IO) agents with complementary mechanisms as well as radiation represent a promising strategy to improve response rates to immunotherapy. Radiation therapy induces immunogenic cell death, increases production of tumor specific antigens, enhances TH cell functioning, and modulates immunosuppressive cell populations such as T regulatory cells and myeloid derived suppressor cells.
Background: Cancer is a leading cause of death in the United States. Researchers want to know more about how cancer develops and grows. They want to understand more about cancers that run in families. This information will help them find better ways to diagnose and treat cancer. Researchers need to collect data from many people who either have cancer or who may get cancer. Objective: To establish a registry of data about people with cancer. The natural history registry will be linked to a database with information about their genetics. Eligibility: People aged 4 weeks and older with a diagnosis of any cancer. People with precancerous conditions or with a family history of an inherited cancer are also needed. Design: Participants will answer questions about their medical history. This visit can be in-person or by phone. Participants will provide blood and saliva samples. Researchers will also collect any samples the participants may already have given in the past. These may include tumor biopsies or samples of bone marrow or other body fluids. No blood will be collected from children younger than 3 years. No new surgeries or biopsies will be done for this study. The samples will be used for genetic research. Researchers will follow up with participants once a year. They will get an updated medical history. They will ask for any new biopsies or other tissue samples. They may collect new saliva and blood samples. Participants may continue in the study for the rest of their lives....
