This study is patients that have been diagnosed with high-risk renal cell carcinoma. This study will compare disease free survival (DFS) in patients treated with adjuvant pembrolizumab and tivozanib versus those receiving pembrolizumab alone. Participants can expect to remain in the study for 10years. There will be a total of 14 patient enrolled locally.
This phase 3 study is recruiting patients who are at risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a bone marrow transplant. This study will measure the safety and effectiveness of a prevention treatment combination called Tacrolimus/Methotrexate/Ruxolitinib compared to Standard of Care (SOC), Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide/Tacrolimus/Mycophenolate Mofetil. Ruxolitinib (Rux) is an approved treatment for GVHD. This study is divided into two parts. The first part, called the run-in phase, will investigate the best dose of Ruxolitinib. The second part of the study will compare the SOC combination therapy with the investigational combination therapy (which will include Ruxolitinib). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups (like flipping a coin). The study will enroll up to 572 patients nationwide and 5 at MUSC. The participants can expect to be involved in the study for at least 24 months. The main risk is that medical treatments often cause side effects. The most common side effects expected from the investigational combination therapy are high cholesterol, increased liver enzymes, low platelet levels, and low red blood cell counts. There is no direct benefit for them in participating in this study.
This phase 2 study is screening patients who may have acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). This study is a non-treatment protocol and the first step of taking part in myeloMATCH, which is a clinical trial. The main purpose of the study is to see if testing on patient's bone marrow and blood results in finding certain biomarkers that will qualify participants for the treatment study or for Standard of Care (SOC) therapies. The study will enroll approximately 5000 patients. The study has two periods, initial and post-treatment screening. It takes about four days for the study doctor to receive the screening results and the patient's first treatment assignment in myeloMATCH. Patients will complete post-treatment screening after their participation in treatment trials or SOC therapies. It will take about 11 days for the study doctor to receive these results and decide their next treatment assignment. Further testing may match patients with myeloMATCH substudies in the future. The main risk is that biomarker test results may be wrong. Patients may have none, some, or all of the side effects listed or not listed in the protocol, and they may be mild, moderate, or severe. There is no direct benefit for them in participating in this study.
The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness and safety of the combination of an investigational vaccine, PDS0101, given by subcutaneous (beneath the skin) injection and the standard of care, Pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA), given intravenously ("IV;" into the vein) compared to pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA) alone for those with unresectable recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer and high risk papillomavirus infection. "Investigational" means the combination of the study vaccine and pembrolizumab being tested has not been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) nor any other Health Authority.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with advanced solid tumors. This study is testing an investigational drug called BNT317. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, absorption of BNT317. BNT317 is administered via intravenous (IV) infusion. Participants can continue to receive this study drug until it no longer gives them benefit. Researchers will continue to follow-up with patients long-term.
The goal of this study is to utilize prospectively collected information from a multisite single-arm trial of 300 HIV uninfected people assigned female gender at birth with lower genital tract neoplasia ("WLGTN") to conduct a unique multidisciplinary study that will clarify issues surrounding anal cancer screening tests in this population as well as help to comprehend the natural history of anal dysplasia among WLGTN. This single arm clinical trial will evaluate screening (diagnostic) tests for anal cancer screening in a population that is not currently routinely screened, determine the prevalence and incidence of aHSIL and
collect data regarding the acceptability of different anal cancer screening approaches. The initial screening interventions will include the collection of (1) anal cytology, obtained by clinician using a water moistened cytobrush; (2) self-collected HPV testing specimens (by subjects, using a Dacron swab); (3) a clinician collected HPV specimen. Anal specimens will be collected by insertion of the cytobrush or moistened Dacron swab into the anal canal until resistance is not met; approximately 5 cm. These tests are followed by a brief standardized exam to determine any external anogenital lesions or pathology, performed by the investigator conducting anoscopy. A digital rectal exam will also be done on all patients. Results of these tests will be confirmed in all patients using high resolution anoscopy (HRA) with biopsy of suspicious lesions. Following standard practices, subjects are treated with 3% acetic acid and Lugol's iodine.
This is a phase 2 study for patients that have been diagnosed with recurrent glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer. This study is testing an investigational combination of two drugs, reltalimab and nivolumab."Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The main purpose of this study is to see if there is a difference in overall survival rate in patients who receive a combination of retatlimab and nivolumab versus those who receive the standard of care treatment, lomustine, in patients with recurrent brain cancer. Participants in this study can expect to be in this study for up to five years from the day study participation starts. Subjects with investigational project being given on day 1 of each cycle, a cycle being 28 days. Cycles will continue until disease gets worse or study doctor decides it is in the subject's best interest to stop. Study will be divided into group 1 and 2. Group 1 will receive investigational drugs and group 2 will receive the standard of care. A computer will be used to assign groups in a process called randomization. Much like a toss of a coin, subjects will have equal opportunity to randomized to either group 1 or 2.
The purpose of this study is to compare the progression-free survival (PFS) of sacituzumab govitecan with pembrolizumab to that of sacituzumab govitecan alone in patients with PD-L1-negative metastatic TNBC, who have not received prior therapy for metastatic breast cancer and who have not received a prior PD-1/L1 inhibitor.
Subjects can remain on study for as long as they are benefitting from treatment - there are no set number of visits required to participate in this study. Sacituzumab govitecan and pembrolizumab are taken via intravenous (IV) infusion. Risks include decrease in white blood cell count, anemia, nausea, joint pain, and headache.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Sacituzumab govitecan for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer, however, it is considered experimental in this study because it is currently only approved for patients who have had more treatment than patients eligible to participate in this study. The FDA has approved Pembrolizumab for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer, but it is also considered experimental in this study because it is not currently approved for patients with PD-L1 negative cancer.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with recurrent, progressive as well as advanced, metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), cervical cancer (CC), melanoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) or non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study is testing an investigational drug called DB-1311. Investigational means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The primary purpose of the study is to determine the recommended phase II dose of DB-1311 in combination with BNT327 or DB-1311 in combination with DB-1305 by assessing the safety and tolerability. The drug is given to participants by IV infusion. Participants in this study can expect to be in this study for 72 months.
The study is for patients that have been diagnosed with breast, colorectal, melanoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or non-small cell lung. The study will examine the association between cannabis and/or cannabinoid use and cancer-related symptoms assessed monthly for one year in adults newly diagnosed with breast, colorectal, melanoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or non-small cell lung. 40 participants will be enrolled locally. Participants can expect to remain in the study for 12 months.
