The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, both good and/or bad, of the study drug "NGM120", as well as the combination of NGM120 and standard therapy (gemcitabine and Abraxane) may have on adult subjects and their type of cancer and their cancer associated loss of appetite, weight loss and loss of muscle. Subjects are enrolled into either Part 1 or Part 2 depending on the type of solid tumor and PI assessment. If subjects are enrolled in Part 1 subjects will be on the study for at least 20 weeks not including treatment continuation if applicable and if they are enrolled in Part 2, they will be on the study for at least 19 weeks not including treatment continuation if applicable
This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL). The study treatment is called tisagenlecleucel (you may also see it referred to as CTL019, CART-19 or Kymriahâ˘). The purpose of the study is to test an experimental approach called gene transfer in subjects that are considered to have high-risk Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), a type of blood cancer that involves cells in your blood called B cells.
Your study participation in this study will not last for more than 8 years. You will be asked to join another study after this trial so your study doctor can check on you for as long as 15 years after the treatment.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with Resectable Stages II and III Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). The investigational drug in this study is durvalumab. The purpose of this study is to see if durvalumab will work and be safe for the treatment of resectable NSCLC. Participants can expect to be on this study for about 5 years.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer with bone metastases.The purpose of this research study is to compare any good and bad effects of using radium-223 along with docetaxel chemotherapy treatment versus using docetaxel alone. The addition of radium-223 to docetaxel could have an overall survival benefit, but it could also cause side effects. The study drugs, radium-223 and docetaxel, are considered experimental drugs that are being evaluated together as a combination therapy for participants with certain solid tumors (cancer). Patients will be seen at MUSC for about 8 months. After they finish the treatment, the doctor will continue to watch the patient for side effects and follow their condition for the rest of their life, or for as long as they wish to remain on the study.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. The investigational drug used is MK-3475 (pembrolizumab). The purpose of this study is to compare any good and bad effects of using only the immunotherapy drug, MK-3475 (pembrolizumab), alone first versus the combination of the immunotherapy drug, MK-3475 (pembrolizumab), and chemotherapy. Participants can expect to be on this study for up to 2 years and followed for up to 5 years from when they began taking part in the study.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with with resectable High-risk Locally Advanced Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (LA cSCC). The investigational drug used in this study is Pembrolizumab. The purposes of this study are to: determine how well pembrolizumab keeps the cancer from coming back or spreading as compared to placebo, determine if giving pembrolizumab after surgery and radiation helps patients live longer, and to test the safety of the study drug and see how patients' bodies handle it. Participants can expect to be in this study for about 8 years. This includes the time that participants will be on study drug and in follow up to see if the cancer has come back or spread.
This study is for pediatric patients that have been diagnosed with advanced solid tumors and hematological malignancies that have stopped responding to standard therapy. The investigational drugs in this study are durvalumab and tremelimumab. The purpose of this research study to find out if the study drugs called durvalumab and tremelimumab will work and be safe for the treatment of advanced cancer in children. Participants can expect to be on this study for up to 6 years.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed metastatic germ cell tumors. This study will compare the standard chemotherapy regimen with an accelerated chemotherapy regimen using the same drugs to see if the accelerated chemotherapy regimen is beneficial but not more toxic than the standard chemotherapy regimen. The accelerated chemotherapy is experimental. Participants can expect to be on study for about 3 months and continue to be followed for up to 5 years.
This study is for participants who have been diagnosed with a brain tumor called either a medulloblastoma or Central Nervous System embryonal tumors of the brain or spinal cord. The investigational drugs used in this study are thiotepa, etoposide and carboplatin. The purpose of this study is to test tumor for biologic markers that will help us know how to best treat each subject on this treatment study. Participants can expect to be on this study for up to 5 years and followed until end of study or disease progression.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with Epstein-Barr Virus associated Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder (EBV-PTLD). The investigational drug in this study is tabelecleucel. Tabelecleucel is a product containing special immune allogeneic cells, called EBV-Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes (EBV-CTLs), that are made in the laboratory starting with cells from a healthy person who is immune to EBV. The purpose of this study is to test how well tabelecleucel works to treat EBV-PTLD following SOT in patients who have not responded to rituximab or rituximab plus chemotherapy treatment and to see what side effects happen. Your participation will help us to understand more about tabelecleucel. In the first 12-month period, participants will be asked to come to the clinic for an estimated 11 to 19 study visits and a minimum of 2 scans, depending on the number of cycles of treatment they are given. After treatment is done, participants will enter into the follow-up phase, and will continue to come into the clinic for scheduled check-ups for up to 24 months after the first dose of tabelecleucel was given. Participant information on the status of their disease and any new treatment will be collected for up to an additional 3 years. Participants can expect to be in this study for up to five years total.
