Clinical trials

This is an open label study evaluating lifileucel (LN-144) in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma.

The researchers are doing this study to evaluate the use of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) testing in making treatment decisions for advanced/recurrent endometrial cancer that has a change (mutation) in the mismatch repair deficient (MMR-D) gene or microsatellite instability high (MSI-H) gene. The researchers will see how doctors and their patients use the results of ctDNA testing after 1 year of standard chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment to decide whether to continue maintenance ICI treatment past 1 year. The researchers will also look at the health outcomes of people in this study (for example, whether they are cancer free at the end of their participation in the study).

The purpose of this study is to look at two standard surgical techniques used during a radical cystectomy and see whether they influence outcomes such as length of stay in the hospital and infections after surgery. This trial will evaluate whether the following surgical methods influence outcomes: A ureteral stent is a thin tube that is placed in the ureter to drain urine from the kidney. Ureteral stents are often used to promote urine drainage after radical cystectomy, but may come at risk of urinary tract infection. Alvimopan is a standard drug used to promote return of bowel function following surgery. Doctors do not know whether alvimopan is beneficial in current clinical practice. The surgeon will decide whether participants will receive a stent and/or alvimopan, but if they are unsure what the best approach is, a surgical technique has been assigned by chance to them.

The researchers are doing this study to find out whether ivonescimab in combination with datopotamab deruxtecan- (Dato-DXd) or osimertinib are safe and effective treatments in people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has an EGFR mutation. The researchers will test different doses of the Dato-DXd or osimertinib with an unchanging (fixed) dose of ivonescimab to find the best dose that causes few or mild side effects in participants. Once the dose is found the researchers will test ivonescimab with Dato-DXd or osimertinib in a new group of participants to see if it is effective in treating their NSCLC with an EGFR mutation.

The purpose of this study is to look at mental health services for adults with depressed mood who were diagnosed with cancer at the age of 65 or older. This study will compare the usual approach for connecting older adults with depressed mood to mental health services with the Open Door for Cancer (OD-C) approach. We will find out if the OD-C approach is practical and useful for cancer patients who participate in the intervention and for providers who see or treat cancer patients.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether 177Lu-DPTA-omburtamab is a safe treatment for children and adolescents with recurrent/refractory medulloblastoma or another type of cancer with CNS metastases.

The purpose of this study to test an alternative treatment approach that involves giving participants radiotherapy before their mastectomy (preoperative radiotherapy) and performing immediate reconstruction surgery at the time of mastectomy. The immediate reconstruction surgery is called an immediate autologous reconstruction (IR) and is different than the standard reconstruction surgery people with T4 breast cancer have. IR is a surgical procedure where immediately following your mastectomy, the surgeon takes tissue from another part of your body and uses it to re-create your breast. The standard reconstruction surgery occurs later and can be done with an implant or tissue from your body. The main purpose of this study to find out if the alternative treatment approach shown above is feasible. The study will see how safe this alternative treatment approach is compared with the standard treatment approach.

The purpose of this study is to translate and tailor for Latinx participants a program called Communicating with Oncology Nurses about Values from the Outset (CONVO). In CONVO, routine cancer care for each participant includes a discussion between the nurse and participant about the participant's health-related values.

This study is being done to answer the following question: What are the supportive care needs of informal caregivers of people with Erdheim-Chester disease and other histiocytic diseases?

This is a multicenter, single-arm, prospective, observational study designed to evaluate bronchoscopist radiation exposure during standard-of-care image-guided robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (RAB) for sampling of a single pulmonary parenchymal lesion.

The purpose of this study is to see if propranolol and etodolac along with mind-body resilience training/MBRT and music therapy help participants who are experiencing physiological stress before, during, and after primary debulking surgery/PDS or IDS and also if it's better than the standard-of-care approach (no intervention for reducing stress).

The purpose of the study is to explore the combination of a bivalent vaccine, a sugar called beta-glucan (β-glucan), and a protein called granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) as an effective treatment for people with high-risk neuroblastoma that is in complete remission. The combination may be effective because the different parts of the treatment work to strengthen the immune system's response against cancer cells in different ways.

The researchers are doing this study to find out whether obecabtagene autoleucel (obe-cel) is an effective treatment for people with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that is in complete remission (CR, meaning all signs of cancer are gone) with no measurable residual disease (MRD-negative, meaning there are no detectable cancer cells). Participants in this study will have received past treatment for their B-cell ALL, and their disease will be in MRD-negative CR for the first time (first MRD-negative CR).

The purpose of this study is to learn more about tongue strength and endurance by using the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI). The IOPI is a device that measures tongue pressure.

The purpose of this study is to test any good and bad effects of the study drug, pembrolizumab, in combination with GVD in the treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma.

The researchers are doing this study to test the safety of BMS-986504 in combination with standard disease-specific anticancer medication in people with metastatic/advanced unresectable MTAP-deleted solid tumor cancer.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether adding belumosudil to a usual approach for reducing the risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) may be an effective GVHD prevention approach for people with blood cancer who have a stem cell transplant. The investigators will also look at the safety of the study approach.

This study will collect medical records, scan results, and complete surveys to create a registry about people with a neurofibromatosis type 1-associated brain tumor (NF1-associated glioma). A registry is a collection of health information about individuals, and it is usually focused on a specific diagnosis or condition. This registry study will help the researchers learn more about the diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life of people with NF1-associated glioma. The researchers want to understand what happens as a result of different treatments for NF1-associated glioma and how these treatments and the disease itself affect people's lives over a period of time. Information collected during this study could affect how doctors diagnose, test, and treat NF1-associated glioma, and the study could help future patients with this type of cancer.

The purpose of this study is to learn more about the challenges with breast cancer diagnosis in Tanzania and the support available to improve this process.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether tinengotinib in combination with abiraterone acetate and prednisone or enzalutamide is a safe treatment that causes few or mild side effects in people with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

In this study, investigators will compare standard Aerobic Training/AT with adaptive Aerobic Training/AT. Standard AT will be a fixed (unchanging) amount of walking each week, while adaptive AT will adjust the level of exercise depending on participants' response to the exercise. Investigators will see how both study approaches (standard AT and adaptive AT) affect participants' CRF.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether short-course radiation therapy (1 week instead of the usual 5 weeks) with chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) is practical (feasible), meaning that most participants are able to complete the treatment schedule.

The purpose of this study is to look at how safe 89Zr-DFO-SC16.56 is, and how it is processed by the body in people with small cell lung cancer.

The researchers are doing this study to find out whether stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in combination with immunotherapy (cemiplimab with or without fianlimab) before cystectomy is an effective and safe treatment for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC).

The researchers are doing this study to find out whether the combination of abemaciclib and cabozantinib is a safe and effective treatment for people with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and translocation-associated renal cell cancer (tRCC). The researchers will test different doses of the study drugs to find the highest doses that cause few or mild side effects in participants.
