Summary

This study is recruiting pediatric patients who have been diagnosed with osteosarcoma. Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone malignancy of childhood and adolescence. The goal of the study is to determine the feasibility of adding cabozantinib to standard MAP (high dose methotrexate, doxorubicin, and cisplatin) chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic osteosarcoma with a resectable primary tumor and to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of cabozantinib in combination with MAP versus MAP alone on people with newly diagnosed OST to find out which is better. Common side effects of chemotherapy include nausea, vomiting, hair loss, and fatigue (tiredness). Participants will receive the medications through an IV in their arm and PO. Study participation is expected to last up to 16 months.

Summary

This study will enroll patients that were either diagnosed with hepatocellular cancer (HCC) in the past 6 weeks or have been diagnosed with cirrhosis but do not have HCC. Patients will have a blood sample collected to test if a new blood-based biomarker is accurate in the early detectection of HCC.

AcTFirst: A phase III, open-label, multi-center, randomized study comparing AAA817+ARPI versus standard of care in adult participants with PSMA-positive metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer

Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Genitourinary, Drug Studies
Summary

This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer that is prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive and has spread despite treatment with another androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI). This study is testing an investigational drug called AAA817. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In this study, participants will be randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) to receive AAA817 alone, AAA817 with an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI), or standard of care treatment. The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether AAA817, given alone or in combination with an ARPI, is safe and effective compared to standard of care treatments. This drug is given to participants as a radioligand therapy infusion. Participants in this study can expect to be in the study for up to 6.1 years, including two visits before starting treatment, visits every 4 weeks during treatment, and visits every 12 weeks during long-term follow-up for up to 5 years after treatment ends.. There will be a total of 9 patients enrolled locally.

A Phase III Study of Induction Pembrolizumab and Chemotherapy Followed by Chemoradiation and Pembrolizumab vs Chemoradiation and Pembrolizumab Both Followed by Pembrolizumab for High Risk Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer

Keywords

Summary

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with squamous cell, adenocarcinoma, or adenosquamous cervical cancer. This study is testing an investigational drug called pembrolizumab. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). A computer will be used to assign you to one of the study groups. This process is called "randomization." Like flipping a coin, everyone has an equal chance of being placed in any group. The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether induction immunotherapy (IO) and chemotherapy prior to concurrent chemoradiotherapy plus immunotherapy (CCRT+IO) improves progression-free survival (PFS) compared to CCRT+IO alone. The study drug is given by infusion. Participants in this study can expect to be on the study for 7 years.

A Multi-Center Screening Study to Characterize the Prevalence of the KIT D816V Mutation in Patients with Suspected Clonal Mast Cell Disease

Researcher

List of Studies

Keywords

Summary

This study is for participants with symptoms of mast cell activation (SMAC). The primary purpose of this study is to learn about clonal mast cell diseases. Clonal mast cell diseases are hard to diagnose because symptoms are not specific, and they can overlap with other diseases. The tools currently used by doctors to look for clonal mast cell diseases in the blood may not identify all patients. This study is being done to develop an investigational blood test that looks for a change in a gene called KIT. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Two types of blood tests will be compared against each other. Participants in this study can expect to be in this study for about 6 months.

A Phase 3 Randomized Study Comparing Teclistamab in Combination with Daratumumab SC and Lenalidomide (Tec-DR) and Talquetamab in Combination with Daratumumab SC and Lenalidomide (Tal-DR) versus Daratumumab SC, Lenalidomide, and Dexamethasone (DRd) in Participants with Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Who are Either Ineligible or not Intended for Autologous Stem Cell Transplant as Initial Therapy

Summary

This is a Phase 3 randomized study to compare two new drug combinations of teclistamab with daratumumab and lenalidomide and talquetamab with daratumumab and lenalidomide versus standard of care in participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are either ineligible or not intended for autologous stem cell transplant as initial therapy. The study is expected to continue for approximately 9 years.The Medical University plans to enroll 12 participants. The duration of participation will depend on the response of the study treatment. Subjects will receive treatment weekly or every 2 weeks. Medical history and physical examination, including lab tests like blood work and imaging, as well as questionnaires will be completed. Known risks include Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) as a complication that can happen due to the activation of immune cells.

Summary

The Caris Biorepository is collecting quality biospecimens, which can be any material that comes from human tissue, to bank for the purposes of future research studies related to advancing precision medicine and improving patient care. Select biospecimens may be collected from consenting individuals who have, or do not have cancer, are being screened for, or have an increased risk for a certain type of cancer. Samples may be used for research on: cells that make up your body (DNA and RNA) and how those cells and other cells work in healthy people and people with illness; how biomarkers might be able to predict the best treatments for a particular tumor type or blood finding; biomarker testing to discover and refine new technology; or, new discoveries and new biomarkers that can predict disease.
