Summary

This study is for people with high-risk, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer that has returned after treatment with BCG. Your cancer either did not fully respond to BCG or came back after initially responding, which is called BCG-exposed NMIBC. The purpose of this study is to find out if adding a chemotherapy drug called gemcitabine, given directly into the bladder through a catheter, to BCG works better than BCG alone. In this study, you will either receive BCG alone for up to 6 weeks or gemcitabine plus BCG for up to 10 weeks, called induction therapy. If the treatment is effective, you may continue with maintenance therapy, which is either BCG alone or gemcitabine plus BCG given over several weeks. After treatment, your doctor will monitor you for 5 years with regular checkups, cystoscopies, and CT scans to watch for side effects or recurrence. The main risks are that the study treatment may not work as well as usual care, and it may cause side effects such as pain with urination, urinary urgency, blood in the urine, bladder inflammation, or urinary tract infection. There may also be risks that study doctors do not yet know about.
There will be a total of 17 patients enrolled locally over the course of 42 months.

NRG-CC014: Radiation Therapy for High-Risk Asymptomatic Bone Metastases: A Pragmatic Multicenter Randomized Phase 3 Clinical Trial (Preempt)

Keywords
Cancer/Genitourinary, Drug Studies
Summary

The purpose of this research study is to find out if giving radiation therapy (RT) early to high-risk bone metastases that are not causing pain can reduce the chance of skeletal-related events (SREs) such as fractures, spinal cord compression, or surgery to bone. This will be compared to the current standard of care (SOC), which usually treats bone metastases only when symptoms like pain occur. The study will enroll 16 participants locally over 25 months, and each subject will remain in the study for at least 40 months. You are being asked to join because you have metastatic cancer that has spread to your bones and is considered "high-risk," though it is not causing pain at this time. High-risk bone metastases are typically located in the spine, hip, shoulder, or long bones, and larger tumors in these areas are more likely to cause complications. If you join this study, you will receive radiation therapy to high-risk bone sites in addition to standard care. The main risk is that radiation therapy may not work better than the usual approach at preventing bone complications. Radiation can also cause side effects, including skin changes, tiredness, and inflammation of the esophagus, bowel, or lungs. There may also be risks that are not yet known to the study doctors.

Summary

This study is for subjects who has been diagnosed with radioactive iodine refractory (RAIR) differentiated thyroid cancer. Subjects are expected to remain in the study for a minimum of 96 months. Drugs are FDA approved and is given in the form of Tablet to subjects. The procedures include urine protein test, CT, MRI. Risks include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, tiredness, weight loss, loss of appetite, changes in taste, redness, pain or peeling of palms and soles, High blood pressure. There is evidence that dabrafenib, trametinib and cabozantinib are effective in stabilizing and shrinking the type of cancer, we do not know which of these approaches are better at prolonging time until tumor growth. However, information learned from the trial may help other people in the future.

Summary

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with previously untreated, locally advanced, and metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma PDAC. This study is testing two treatment regimens: NALIRIFOX (5-fluorouracil, liposomal irinotecan, oxaliplatin, and leucovorin) vs mGAP (gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel, and cisplatin).
The primary purpose of this study is to see which of the two regimens is more effective in PDAC. Participants will continue on study medications if seeing clinical benefit, and can expect to be on the study for a maximum of 6 months.

Summary

This phase 2 study is enrolling patients who have acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with certain biomarkers. This study is being done to see the effectiveness of different combinations of drugs to treat AML. It will involve 3 groups of patients receiving different combinations of Gilteritinib, Azacitidine and Venetoclax. Gilteritinib is an investigational drug, Azacitidine and Venetoclax are FDA approved. The main purpose of the study is to see if the amount of leukemia in the patient's body can be lowered by adding the drug Gilteritinib to the Standard of Care of treating AML with Azacitidine and Venetoclax. The study will include approximately 147 patients. The patients will be randomized into the three groups (like flipping a coin), Group 1 will receive just Azacitidine + Venetoclax, Groups 2 and 3 will also receive Gilteritinib but Group 2 will receive it for more time within a treatment cycle. Patients will complete screening after participating in this treatment trial or SOC therapies. Patients will continue treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, study closure, death, or withdrawal of consent. The main risk is that the study drugs may not be as good as the usual approach for their cancer or condition at shrinking or stabilizing their cancer. 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.

Summary

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.
