Summary

This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with cancer in their arm, leg, or trunk (the part of the body that involves the chest, abdomen, and pelvis). The purpose of this research study is to preserve healthy tissue around the cancer on the arm(s) and/or leg(s) using Hypofractionated Radiotherapy, while treating the cancer and preventing it from spreading to other areas of the body. Participation in the study will take about 15 visits over a period of 15 months.

Summary

The study is for patients that have been diagnosed with low-grade non-invasive upper tract urothelial cancer. The investigational drug used in this study is padeliporfin which is injected into a vein. The main purpose of this study is to learn about the effects and safety of an investigational treatment named padeliporfin Vascular Targeted Photodynamic (VTP) Therapy, in treating low-grade non-invasive upper tract urothelial cancer. Participants can expect to be in this study for up to 18 months. The completion of the study will include up to 9 study visits to the study site and 8 phone visits.

A Randomized Phase II Study Comparing Inotuzumab plus Chemotherapy versus Standard Chemotherapy in Older Adults with Philadelphia-Chromosome Negative B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)

Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Leukemia
Summary

This trial will enroll patients 50 years and older with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Patients above age 50 years are not eligible for intensive chemotherapy regimens and have been shown to have worse outcomes than adolescents and young adults treated with the same chemotherapy. For instance, the 5-year survival for patients aged 55-65 years treated on an international ALL trial was 21% compared to 38% for younger patients. Similarly, the 5-year survival for patients treated at MD Anderson Cancer Center with the hyper-CVAD regimen was 30% for patients aged 40-59 years compared to 51% for those less then age 40 years.

A Phase III Randomized Trial of Steroids + Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) Induction with Chemotherapy or Blinatumomab for Newly Diagnosed BCR-ABL-positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in Adult

Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Leukemia
Summary

This study is for patients who have newly diagnosed diagnosed BCR-ABL acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This study is being done to determine the effects (good or bad) of using the combination of a Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI), steroids and blinatumomab versus treatment with steroids, Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) and chemotherapy. This investigational therapy will be added to what has traditionally been used to treat your specific sub-type of ALL. Studies are being done in ALL and other blood cancers with blinatumomab.

UF-HN-004 Risk Adapted De-Intensification of Radio-Chemotherapy for Favorable Prognosis Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma based on HPV subtype and plasma circulating free HPV DNA Level and Clearance Rate.

Summary

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma. The purpose of this research study is to determine if lower doses of radiation therapy are as effective as the standard higher doses. Participants will have tests and procedures that would be performed as part of regular care. Participants will be assigned to one of three study groups based on your risk for cancer recurrence. Depending on the group assigned, participants receive either standard dose of radiation therapy (RT), a moderately reduced dose of RT, or an extremely reduced dose of RT. During the RT treatment, participants will also receive chemotherapy. Chemotherapy will be given at the same dose used in routine care for everybody in the study. Participants will be in the study for up to 5 years.

A Randomized Trial of Cryoprobe Versus Forceps for Transbronchial Biopsy (FROSTBITE-2)

Date Added

PRO Number

Researcher
Christopher Gilbert

List of Studies

Keywords
Cancer, Lung, Pulmonary
Summary

This study is for patients scheduled for a bronchoscopy procedure for evaluation of lung transplantation, lung disease, and lung nodules. Those who give consent to participate in this study will be randomized into one of two lung biopsy sampling method groups: Group 1) 1.1 mm single-use Cryoprobe or Group 2) conventional 2.0 mm forceps. These devices are used with a bronchoscope to obtain lung tissue biopsy samples and are being evaluated to determine which is better for confirming a diagnosis. All procedures will be done via standard of care and screening will be accomplished via medical chart review. Subjects will have two in-person appointments and one follow-up telephone call. The first of which is their standard of care office visit with the doctor to go over their plan of care. The second visit is for the standard of care bronchoscopy procedure to obtain biopsy samples. Thirty days following the procedure, a member of the study team will call the subject to assess whether any adverse events may have occurred since the procedure.
