Summary

The purpose of this research is to evaluate if including the investigational Nodify XL2 test results in the decision-making process when planning the management of lung nodules will reduce the number of unnecessary surgical and biopsy procedures. The general study procedures include obtaining blood samples for Nodify XL2 tests, collecting relevant medical information (including test results ordered by your doctor in the management of your lung nodule), and documenting your doctor's recommendations for the treatment of your lung nodule. Participation in this research study may last up to 18 months.

Summary

This is an observational study, which means that only information is collected on treatment, examinations or diagnostic tests which are a part of the routine standard of care. The participant is being asked to volunteer because they have been diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic TRK fusion cancer treated with larotrectinib. The purpose of this study is to learn more about the safety profile and the effectiveness of VITRAKVI® under routine practice conditions.
Participants will be followed for a minimum of 5 years from the time they agree to participate in the study.

A Phase 2 Study of Dabrafenib (NSC# 763760) With Trametinib (NSC# 763093) After Local Irradiation in Newly-Diagnosed BRAF V600-Mutant High-Grade Glioma (HGG)

Keywords
Brain, Cancer, Pediatrics
Summary

This study is for patients that have been newly diagnosed with BRAF v600-Mutant High-Grade Glioma (HGG). The overall goal of this study is to see if using two drugs called dabrafenib and trametinib after radiation treatment will be better than treatments used in the past in helping to get rid of or shrink HGG. The treatment involves cancer fighting medicines plus radiation. The treatment on this study takes a little over 2 years. It is divided into 2 phases of therapy.

Researcher

List of Studies


Keywords

Summary

This study is for patients with recurrent/progressive medulloblastoma, which is a type of childhood brain tumor. Participants in this study will receive intravenous (IV, into the veins) bevacizumab and intrathecal (into the spinal fluid) or intraventricular (into the fluid surrounding the brain) etoposide and cytarabine in combination with five oral (taken by mouth) chemotherapy drugs as a possible treatment for recurrent/progressive medulloblastoma. Total study duration is about 1 year and depending on how well a participant tolerates the medications and the response of the disease, the patient may continue the treatment after the first year.

A Phase 1/2a, Open-Label, Multi-Center Trial to Assess Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Efficacy of CLN-081 in Patients With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Harboring EGFR Exon 20 Insertion Mutations

Keywords

Summary

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).The investigational drug used in this study is CLN-081.

This study has 3 parts; Phase 1 Dose Escalation, Phase 1 Dose Expansion, and Phase 2a Dose Expansion:
-Phase 1 Dose Escalation: The main aim of this part of the study is to find a maximum tolerated dose for CLN-081. This will be done by slowly increasing the dose given to each participant or to small groups of participants until certain adverse effects are seen. All participants will be closely monitored by the study doctor and team. When the maximum tolerated dose has been found, it will be used in the subsequent parts of the study.
-Phase 1 Dose Expansion: In this part of the study more participants will receive the maximum tolerated dose to confirm the safety of this dose of the study medicine and to explore different dosing schedules, for example, taking the study medicine once a day versus twice a day.
-Phase 2a Dose Expansion: The main aim of this part of the study will be to see how well the study medicine works in reducing tumor size.

Participants can expect to be on this study for about 3 years.

Ovarian Cancer Survival in African-American Women

Date Added

PRO Number
Pro00102103
Researcher
Andrew Lawson

List of Studies


Keywords
Cancer
Summary

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the 5th leading cause of cancer death in women in the U.S. African-American (AA) women have the lowest survival of any racial/ethnic group,1 yet little is known about factors affecting survival among AAs. The African American Cancer Epidemiology Study (AACES) is a multi-site epidemiologic study of AA women in diverse geographic regions. AACES has enrolled an unprecedented number of AA participants during a previous funding period, 593 AA women with invasive EOC and 752 controls, making AACES the largest study of ovarian cancer in AA women to date. Prior to AACES, no epidemiologic study of ovarian cancer had enrolled more than 150 AA cases and 150 AA controls. Due to comprehensive data collection, pathology assessment and length of follow-up, AACES is uniquely positioned to evaluate factors influencing the survival of EOC in AA women. The causes of the poor outcomes in AA women are likely multifactorial and need to be examined from multiple levels, including factors affecting both the neighborhood social environment and individual level factors.

Early measurement of ST2 as a prognostic biomarker for future occurrence of acute GVHD II-IV in a prospective multisite study

Date Added
July 17th, 2020
PRO Number
Pro00100472
Researcher
Sophie Paczesny

List of Studies

Keywords
Cancer
Summary

The purpose of this study is to collect two blood specimens and information about participants who are receiving a standard of care bone marrow or stem cell transplant to use and help better understand graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). One potential new way to help researchers better understand GVHD is through a biomarker (a substance found in your blood/tissue) called ST2. The new information learned from this study could then be used in future research for patients undergoing stem cell transplants. This is a non-interventional study (no drugs involved).
