Summary

This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and their doctor has recommended external beam radiation therapy. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the side effects of a shorter course of radiation called stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR). The expected duration of the study is up to 28 months including one to four months prior to radiation therapy for treatment preparation, two weeks during radiation therapy, and 24 months after radiation therapy.

Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Lymphoma
Summary

The purpose of this research study is to find new ways of detecting and treating Hodgkin lymphoma and primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (a cancer of mature B-lymphocytes). It is a form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a type of cancer that originates in cells of the immune system, called lymphocytes. The information we learn by doing this research study may help study doctors identify new ways of treating your type of lymphoma. Participants in this study will provide archival (stored) tissue and blood samples. Participation is expected to last about 8 months. The risks and discomforts of this study are minimal. All blood specimens requested for this study will be collected at the time of routine procedures.

A Phase 1B Dose Escalation Study Of Metabolically Fit CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T Cells With CD34 Selection Markers In Adult Patients With Relapsed Or Refractory CD19 B- Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma And Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma

Summary

This study is for adult male and female subjects that have been diagnosed with B-cell leukemias and lymphomas. In this research study, some of the subjects immune cells (called T cells) will be taken during a procedure called ‘apheresis', and genetically modified in the laboratory, in order to recognize a protein on the cancer cells. The investigational treatment in this study is called CD19-CD34t metabolically programmed CAR-T cells. The purpose of this study is to test whether these genetically CD19-CD34 CAR T-cells when re-introduced back into the body, will be able to safely and effectively attack the cancer cells. The investigators also want to determine the dose of genetically modified CD19-CD34 CAR T-cells which can be safely administered to subjects. Subjects can expect to be in this study for up to 15 years. There will be two cohorts for this study, inpatient and outpatient.

Researcher

List of Studies


Keywords
Cancer, Men's Health, Women's Health
Summary

This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with advanced cancer. The purpose of this study is to find subjects with advanced cancer that had an exceptional disease response (improvement) while being treated with standard immunotherapy agents. This study will monitor their progression through a series of blood draws. Subjects will either continue immunotherapy or have completed immunotherapy. Participation in the study will take about 6 visits over a period of about 2 years. During this time the study team will follow your care by clinic visit, phone contact and/or medical record review every three months to collect information on the status of your cancer. This is not a treatment study.

A Randomized Phase II/III Trial of Modern Immunotherapy Based Systemic Therapy With or Without SBRT for PD-L1-Negative, Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Researcher
Mariam Alexander

List of Studies

Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Lung, Lung
Summary

This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The purpose of this study is to compare the usual treatment alone to using SBRT plus the usual treatment. This study will help the study doctors find out if this different approach is better than the usual approach. To decide if it is better, the study doctors will be looking to see if the addition of SBRT increases the life of patients by 6 months or more compared to the usual approach. The study drugs are nivolumab and ipilimumab. Participants can expect to be on this study for up to 2 years.

T-reg function changes: a novel immune regulatory effect underlying benefit of statin use on lethal prostate cancer

Date Added

PRO Number
Pro00120567
Researcher
Michael Marrone

List of Studies

Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Genitourinary, Drug Studies, Men's Health, Prostate
Summary

This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with prostate cancer that can be removed by surgery. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a group of drugs called statins can help to reduce the risk of prostate cancer returning after surgery. The drug used in this study is a particular type of statin called simvastatin. Simvastatin is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to help lower cholesterol (fatty deposits in your blood) and decrease the risk of heart disease. Its use in this research study is considered investigational, and not FDA approved for the subject's cancer. Subjects can expect to be in the active participation portion of this study for about 3 months. Afterwards, the study team may contact them or their medical providers every 6 months to follow their cancer care and collect information on their current health status.

Summary

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with non-germinomatous germ cell tumor (NGGCT). The goal of this study is to see if radiation therapy (RT) to the spine and a portion of the brain works just as well as the standard treatment, which includes RT to the whole brain and spine, for people with NGGCT who agree to take part in this study, and whose disease responds well to induction chemotherapy, or who have no signs of disease following surgery. Participants can expect to receive treatment on this study for about 6 to 11 months, depending on which therapy they receive. After study completion, participants will continue to be followed for up to 10 years.
