Filter by:This pilot clinical trial studies combined fluorine F 18 sodium fluoride (NaF)/ fludeoxyglucose F 18 (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in measuring response to a drug, radium Ra 223 dichloride (Ra-223), in treating patients with prostate cancer that has not responded to hormone therapy and has spread to other parts of the body. Combining NaF/FDG in a simultaneous PET/MRI scan may help doctors accurately measure how well patients respond to treatment with radium Ra 223 dichloride.
Determine Phase 2 dose of study drug
Background: - Some people with gastrointestinal or ovarian cancer also have ascites. That is free fluid built up in the abdomen. Researchers want to see if a new drug can affect some of the immune cells in the ascites. This may also treat the cancer. Objective: - To look at the immune markers the ascites of people with gastrointestinal or ovarian cancer. Eligibility: - Adults age 18 and older with a malignancy of the GI tract or metastatic ovarian cancer. As a result, they have ascites in the abdomen. Design: - Participants will be screened with: - Medical history, physical exam, and blood tests. - Echocardiogram: sound waves make images of the heart. - Electrocardiogram: measures electrical activity of the heart. - Paracentesis: a needle will be inserted in the abdomen and will remove some of the ascites fluid. - They may have a tumor biopsy. - Participants will get AZD9150 through a vein for 3 hours. They will get this 6 times in cycle 1 and 4 times all other cycles. Each cycle is 28 days. - Each cycle, participants will: - Have a physical exam. - Have blood tests weekly. - Be asked about how they feel and any medicines they are taking. - After every 2 cycles (about every 2 months), participants will have scans and x-rays of their tumor. - Participants will have paracentesis 2 more times during the study. They will have another echocardiogram. - At the end of therapy, participants will have a physical exam and blood tests. They will be asked about how they feel and any medicines they are taking.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if giving pacritinib before standard of care drugs followed by an allogeneic stem cell transplant can help to control myeloproliferative neoplasms. The safety of this therapy will also be studied.
This is a study to determine the clinical benefit (how well the drug works), safety, and tolerability of combining varlilumab and sunitinib. The study will enroll patients with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
A Phase 1/2a, open-label, dose-escalation study with enrollment in Phase 1 to continue until determination of the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) /Recommended Phase 2a Dose (RP2D), and then enrollment into Phase 2a expansion cohorts will be initiated.
This randomized clinical trial studies iPad use in reducing anxiety and depression in patients undergoing bone marrow transplant. A tablet device like the iPad can provide access to music, television, movies, books, and the Internet. It also contains a video conferencing system that can allow patients to communicate with family members and other members of their social support team. With these capabilities, an iPad distribution program may help lessen patient anxiety and depression during a hospital stay. Monitoring iPad use by patients may help doctors better understand how patients use their computers and tablets while in the hospital so that the software and applications of the iPad can be made more useful.
Vertebral augmentation with radiotherapy to increase the functional status and quality of life for patients with vertebral body metastatic cancers.
This study is being done to find out if SEA-CD40 is safe and effective when given alone, in combination with pembrolizumab, and in combination with pembrolizumab, gemcitabine, and nab-paclitaxel. The study will test increasing doses of SEA-CD40 given at least every 3 weeks to small groups of patients. The goal is to find the highest dose of SEA-CD40 that can be given to patients that does not cause unacceptable side effects. Different dose regimens will be evaluated. Different methods of administration may be evaluated. The pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamic effects, biomarkers of response, and antitumor activity of SEA-CD40 will also be evaluated.
This is the first study where BAY1238097 is given to humans. Impact of the study is to evaluate if patients with advanced cancer show clinical benefit under the treatment with BET(Bromodomain and extraterminal domain family ) inhibitor.Patients with solid tumors (all comers) and lymphoma will receive the study drug treatment in an escalation scheme (no placebo group) to determine the safety, tolerability and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of BAY1238097. the relative bioavailability of Liquid Service Formulation and tablets will be determined After MTD is defined, patients with solid tumors (all comer, hepato cellular carcinoma, lung cancer, NUT(nuclear protein in testis)-midline carcinoma), melanoma and lymphoma will be enrolled A separate escalation scheme will be applied to patients with leucemias, and at the maximal tolerated dose, patients with AML amd multiple myeloma will be enrolled. the study will also assess the pharmacokinetics, biomarker status, pharmacodynamic parameters of BAY1238097 and tumor response to the treatment. BAY1238097 will be given twice weekly as oral application. Treatment will be stopped if the tumor continues to grow, if side effects occur, wich the patient cannot tolerate or if the patient decides to withdraw from the treatment.
