The purpose of this study is to evaluate investigational treatments (study drug) in people with recurrent or metastatic PD-L1-positive, HPV-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma without prior treatment. The goal is to determine the optimal dose level, safety, and tolerability for the study drug BCA101. This is a phase 2 study; BCA101 is not FDA approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Treatment for this study may be up to 5 years. The procedures include taking study drug intravenously, blood and urine samples, and CT scans. Risks include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, mouth sore, nose bleed, headache, and skin rash. 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.
The purpose of this study is to determine if patients with heart failure (HF, meaning a weak heart) with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 50% and with an abnormal heart beat can benefit from having pacemaker leads placed in a different location in the heart. We know that people with a weak heart and an abnormal heart beat can benefit from having a pacemaker. Participants in this study will be randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) to one of two treatments (A or B), both of which are standard of care heart pacing treatments:
A. Pacing the heart from two locations in the left ventricle (lower left chamber of the heart)
B. Pacing the heart from one of two other places in the heart (the "His" or the left bundle branch)
The purpose of this study is to compare side by side these two treatments and evaluate if one is better than the other.
This study is designed to learn more about the effects of Petosemtamab, an investigational drug not FDA approved, compared to standard of care treatment for people with head and neck cancer that has been previously treated with immunotherapy and chemotherapy. If decided to take part in this study, participants will go through a screening period, treatment period, and follow-up period. During the screening period following signing of consent form participants will be evaluated for screening criteria and determined if they qualify for the study. During treatment period participants will be randomly assigned to either receiving petosemtamab or one of the three standard of care choices. In the follow up period the side effects after completion of petosemtamab administration or assigned standard of care treatment will be evaluated. Also, approximately every 12 weeks after study treatment stopped, either petosemtamab or assigned standard of care, participants will receive a phone call for long term follow-up for up to 1.5 years. Participation in this study may last up to two years. The participants will complete questionnaires to evaluate the differences in the quality of life for participants that received petosemtamab versus standard of care treatment. Some serious risk related to this study are infusion related reactions, rash and diarrhea. There may not a benefit from joining the study. The head and neck cancer may improve while on this study but it may not, and it may even get worse. It will also help inform how well Petosemtamab works at curing this type of cancer. The study results may be used to help others in the future.
This study utilizes adjuvant therapy in patients identified with urothelial cancer. Patients will be tested and screened to determine eligibility. Once they are deemed eligible and have consented to treatment, the study will begin. There are regular CT / MRI scans, blood draws, testing and drug administration that occurs while on this study, including while in post-treatment follow up. The study has seperated patients into Cohorts A and B. The study lasts approximately 5 years, with 2 years dedicated to regular treatment, and 3 to post-treatment follow up observation.
This study is enrolling participants with heart disease or at high risk of developing heart disease who are already taking a cholesterol lowering medication referred to as a statin. This study is specifically seeking participants who are historically underrepresented in cardiovascular clinical trials including females, and racial/ethnic minorities, as well as those living in rural areas. This study involves the medication inclisiran which is an approved medication to help lower "bad" cholesterol. In this study participants will be randomized meaning assigned by chance to receive inclisiran along with usual care or not receive inclisiran and will continue usual care for the first 360 days. You will have a 50:50 chance, like flipping a coin, to receive inclisiran. Those participants who are randomized to not receive inclisiran initially will then receive it after day 360 and continue in the study for another 360 days so up to day 720. Participation will take up to 7 study visits.
Study related procedures include collecting medical history, demographics, questionnaires and blood work, as well as receive inclisiran as a shot just under the skin every 4 months. Study related risks include injection site reactions, joint pain or stiffness, bronchitis or an allergic reaction. There is also a risk of loss of confidentiality.
Researchers are investigating a new way to treat a type of lung cancer called small-cell lung cancer, which is very aggressive and often doesn't respond well to treatment. They're studying a drug called Tarlatamab, which targets a specific protein found on the cancer cells. This drug has already shown some promise when used alone, but now they're testing whether it works even better when combined with another type of cancer treatment called anti-PD-L1 therapy. This combination treatment might help the body's immune system fight the cancer more effectively. The hope is that by using these two treatments together, they can improve outcomes for people with small-cell lung cancer and give them a better chance of survival.
This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma that has spread and has not responded to treatment. This study is testing an "investigational" (not yet FDA approved) study drug called glofitamab. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, good or bad, of glofitamab (experimental arm) versus bendamustine plus rituximab (BR) or rituximab plus lenalidomide (R-Len;the control arm) on subjects with relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma. Your total time in the study and the number of assessments in the follow up visits, will depend on how your MCL responds to study treatment. This could range from 1 day to more than 24 months. The screening period may last up to 28 days (4 weeks) and may involve more than one visit to the clinic.
This research study is testing a new treatment plan for patients with a type of lung cancer that can be surgically removed. The study focuses on patients who have not had complete success with initial treatments before surgery. The treatment plan includes a combination of chemotherapy and a drug called pembrolizumab before surgery, followed by surgery to remove the cancer, and then more pembrolizumab with or without another drug called MK-2870 after surgery.
The goal is to see if adding MK-2870 can help improve the chances of recovery and prevent the cancer from coming back in patients who didn't respond fully to the initial treatment. This study aims to find better ways to treat lung cancer and improve the survival rates of these patients.
This study if for patients with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) or a related poorly differentiated sarcoma that has spread from where it first started to other places in the body or it cannot be removed by surgery. This study compares the effect of pembrolizumab plus doxorubicin to doxorubicin alone in treating patients. Doxorubicin damages the cell's DNA and may kill tumor cells. Doxorubicin also blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attach the cancer and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Adding pembrolizumab to the standard chemotherapy, doxorubicin, may help patients with UPS or a related poorly differentiated sarcoma live longer without having disease progression. The duration of the study will be about 12 years, with 6 months of active treatment for those receiving doxorubicin alone and 2 years active treatment for those receiving doxorubicin and pembrolizumab. Each participant will be in follow up for 10 years. Some of the main side effects are nausea, vomiting, low blood count, fatigue and mild diarrhea.
The purpose of this study is to determine what kind of chemotherapy to recommend to patients based on the presence or absence of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) after surgery for colon cancer? ctDNA, or circulating tumor DNA, is DNA that has been released from tumor cells into your bloodstream. This DNA can be measured using a blood test.
This study seeks to find if this approach is better or worse than standard of care for colon cancer.
Treatment and follow up for this study may be up to 8 years. The procedures include blood samples, tissue samples, and chemotherapy. Risks include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, hair loss, mouth sores, loss of appetite, tingling or pain in hands/feet/arms/legs, and anemia. 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.
