Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate investigational treatments (study drug) for pancreatic adenocarcinoma following surgery in order to determine if any of these study treatments improve overall survival as compared to standard treatments. The goal is to determine the optimal dose level, safety, and tolerability for the study drug BNT321 in combination with mFOLFIRINOX. BNT321 is not FDA approved. mFOLFIRINOX is FDA approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat various cancers but may not be approved for your type of cancer. Treatment for this study may be up to 3 years. The procedures include blood and urine samples, questionnaires, infusions, and CT scans. Risks include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, headache, fever, and joint pain. You may or may not receive a direct benefit from participating in this trial, however, information learned from the trial may help other people in the future.

Keywords

Summary

This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with Follicular Lymphoma.
This study is testing an investigational drug(s) called Epcoritamab that is not approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). The purpose of this study is to see if the combination of the study drug epcoritamab with rituximab and lenalidomide has a better response rate than standard of care chemoimmunotherapy in the treatment of follicular lymphoma. The total study treatment duration is up to 2.5 years. You may stop the study treatment early if you do not respond after 6 months, your disease worsens, you no longer tolerate the study drug(s), or you withdraw from the study.

Once you finish the study treatment or discontinued study treatment early, you will continue to the Post-Study Treatment Follow Up Period, you will come back to the study clinic every 6 months for the first 3 years and then yearly to have imaging scans and blood work to check if your disease is in remission or worsen.

If your disease worsens or if you start a new FL treatment, you will enter the Long-term Follow Up Period, you will be called by telephone or your health record will be reviewed to check on your well-being and to see what your next treatment plan will be. This follow-up may last up to 15 years.

A Phase 2 Study of Alisertib in Patients with Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

PRO Number
Pro00135995
Researcher
Christopher Rangel

List of Studies

Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Lung, Drug Studies, Men's Health, Women's Health
Summary

In this study, researchers are testing a drug called Alisertib in people with a specific type of lung cancer that has spread extensively. These patients have already undergone the first round of treatment, but unfortunately, their cancer has started growing again. The drug alisertib works by targeting certain molecules involved in cell division, which are often overactive in cancer cells.

Patients will take alisertib as pills twice a day for a week, followed by a break. To manage side effects, they'll also receive another medication to support their blood cell production. Throughout the study, researchers will closely monitor how much alisertib is in the patients' blood and how they're responding to treatment.

The study will continue until patients either see their cancer progress, experience intolerable side effects, or decide to leave the study. Even if the cancer spreads to the brain during the study, patients might still be able to continue treatment if it's deemed helpful by their doctor. This research hopes to find out if alisertib can offer a new option for people whose lung cancer has come back after initial treatment.

Rapid Onsite Cytopathologic Evaluation for Improved Molecular Marker Testing via Endobronchial Ultrasound Bronchoscopy - A Randomized Controlled Trial

Date Added
July 3rd, 2024
PRO Number
Pro00128969
Researcher
Christopher Gilbert

List of Studies

Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Lung, Lung
Summary

In this study, all eligible study participants will have a clinically indicated reason to undergo a bronchoscopy procedure, using a EBUS-TBNA scope, before enrolling in the study. EBUS-TBNA stands for "endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration" which is a procedure to collect lymph node tissue from within the lungs by inserting a flexible tube-like camera through the mouth, then down into the lungs.

After providing consent to participate in this study, each subject will be randomly assigned (by chance, like the flip of a coin) to either have or not have a cytopathology technologist (person who looks at samples under a microscope) in the room during your bronchoscopy, and then randomly assigned again (by chance, like the flip of a coin) to either have your tissue specimen prepared with clot or liquid preparation. Clot preparation is placing the tissue biopsy in a gel prior to being viewed under a microscope, whereas liquid preparation is placing the tissue biopsy in a liquid prior to being viewed under a microscope.

It is important to note that, by participating in this study, subjects will still receive the standard of care with a proven track record for obtaining lymph node tissue.

The reason for this research study is to determine whether rapid on-site cytopathologic evaluation, or the clot based method, can increase the chances of gathering adequate tissue for Next Generation Sequencing. Next generation sequencing is a test which detects molecular markers from tissue, or blood, samples and can provide possible treatment options for specific forms of lung cancer.

A Randomized Phase III Trial of Chemo-Immunotherapy vs Immunotherapy Alone for the Vulnerable older adult with Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: The ACHIEVE Study

Keywords

Summary

Imagine you're flipping through a medical journal and stumble upon a study about lung cancer treatment. This study is not just any ordinary research; it's focused on a group often overlooked in clinical trials: older adults. The researchers are curious about how well a new treatment, called immunotherapy, works for these older folks who might have other health issues besides cancer. They've noticed that most studies tend to include younger, healthier people, so they want to see if the same treatments work as well for Grandma and Grandpa. They found that immunotherapy, which boosts the body's immune system to fight cancer, can be a game-changer for older adults with lung cancer. But here's the twist: they're not sure if it's always the best option, especially for those with a certain type of lung cancer marker. So, they're calling for more studies to figure out the best treatment plan for older adults with different levels of this marker. It's like a puzzle they're trying to solve to make sure Grandma and Grandpa get the best care possible.

Summary

This is a Phase 2 study measuring the effectiveness and safety of an antibody treatment called AK117 combined with a drug called azacitidine in patients with newly diagnosed higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (HR-MDS). AK117 is an "investigational" (not yet FDA approved) treatment, azacitidine is FDA approved. The primary purpose of the study is to find the best dose of AK117 for future trials. The study will enroll approximately 90 patients randomized in 3 groups (like flipping a coin), with each group receiving either AK117 in doses of 30mg/kg, 20mg/kg, or a placebo, in combination with azacitidine. The study includes a screening period, treatment period, and follow-up period over the course of 3 years. Patients will receive AK117 or a placebo every 2 weeks in combination with azacitidine every 4 weeks. The main risk is that medical treatments often cause side effects. Patients may have none, some, or all of the effects listed or not listed in the protocol, and they may be mild, moderate, or severe. There is no direct benefit in participating in this study.
