This study is for patients who have undergone surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and your doctors have found that some cancer may still be present in nearby lymph nodes. The study is being done to figure out if adding radiation therapy after surgery can help lower the chance of lung cancer coming back while keeping side effects at a safe level.
The study is being done to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for your non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after surgery. The usual approach is defined as care most people get for non-small cell lung cancer and is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
If you decide to take part in this study, you will either get chemotherapy or immunotherapy or you will get chemotherapy or immunotherapy plus an additional type of radiation therapy called I²-PORT for up to 24 months
After you finish your treatment, your doctor and study team will continue to follow your condition for side effects and cancer recurrence. Follow-up visits will be every 3 months for 2 years and every 6 months for 3 more years, totaling 5 years of follow-up.
There is evidence that I²-PORT radiation therapy is effective in reducing the risk of cancer returning in certain patients with lung cancer. It is not possible to know now if this approach will extend your time without disease compared to the usual approach. This study will help the study doctors learn things that will help people in the future.
If you choose to take part in this study, there is a risk that the I²-PORT radiation therapy may not be as good as the usual approach for your cancer at preventing your cancer from coming back. Some of the most common side effects that the study doctors know about are reddening, tanning, mild pain, hair loss in treated area, and or tiredness. There may be some risks that the study doctors do not yet know about.
This study is for people with advanced head and neck cancer who cannot receive cisplatin. The purpose of this study is to compare treating head and neck cancer with radiation plus cetuximab versus radiation plus chemotherapy (carboplain and paclitaxel). Carboplatin, paclitaxel, and cetuximab are approved by the FDA to treat head and neck cancer.
If you agree to take part, we expect that your participation in this study may last up to 3 years. This includes visits to the clinic after you finish all study treatments. These follow-up visits will take place about every 2 months during the 1st year and about every 4 months thereafter.
Risks may include nausea, vomiting, headache, feeling tired, loss of appetite, and hair loss. Participants 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.
This study is for patients diagnosed with relapsed or refractory T-cell lymphomas. These include:
Peripheral T‑cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS)
Follicular helper T‑cell lymphoma (TFH lymphoma)
Systemic anaplastic large‑cell lymphoma (sALCL)
The study is testing a drug called Soquelitinib. This drug is investigational, which means it has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The purpose of the study is to see how well soquelitinib works compared with standard treatment chosen by a physician. Standard treatment may include:
Belinostat (BELEODAQ®)
Pralatrexate (FOLOTYN®)
The study may last up to 6 years. Study treatment may last up to 2 years (104 weeks). Study visits will happen based on the treatment schedule for the assigned study drug.About 180 people will be screened for the study. About 150 participants will be randomly assigned to a treatment group.Soquelitinib works by blocking an enzyme called ITK. ITK is part of a signaling pathway that helps certain cancer cells grow. Blocking ITK may slow or stop the growth of cancer T cells.
Soquelitinib has not been approved for use in humans and is considered experimental. It is not known if the drug will work for this cancer. The possible side effects are also not fully known. About 70 patients have received soquelitinib in another clinical trial. In those patients, the drug was generally tolerated.In this study, treatment with soquelitinib will be compared with standard treatments used for this type of cancer.Belinostat is approved in the United States for adults with relapsed or refractory PTCL.Pralatrexate is approved in several countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and South Korea, for patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL.
Participants will be placed into treatment groups by randomization. Randomization means assignment to a group by chance, similar to flipping a coin. Each participant has an equal chance of receiving any of the study treatments.
This study is for newly diagnosed participants with Philadelphia Chromosome Positive (Ph+) Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. This study is testing an oral drug called Asciminib in a new patient population. While Asciminib is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, it has not been approved in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia participants. Therefore, it's use in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia participants is investigational. The purpose of this study is to test if adding the investigational study drug asciminib to usual treatment will improve how chemotherapy works against Ph+ ALL. Participants can expect to be in this study as long as it helps them.
This study is recruiting pediatric patients who have been diagnosed with Favorable Histology Wilms Tumor (FHWT). Wilms Tumor is the most common type of kidney cancer in children, and FHWT is the most common subtype. The goal of the study to improve outcomes within cohorts of FHWT patients with current long-term EFS rates at or below 80% and maintain outcomes despite therapy reduction within cohorts of FHWT patients with current long-term EFS rates at or above 84%. Common side effects of treatment in regards to this study include nausea, vomiting, hair loss, and fatigue (tiredness). Participants will receive the medications through an IV in their arm and orally. Study participation is expected to be approximately 5 years.
The BRIDGES Clinical Trial (GTM-105) is a phase 3 clinical trial for people who have been newly diagnosed with a glioblastoma (GBM) brain tumor and need surgery. The purpose of this study is to find out if adding GammaTile® during surgical removal of a brain tumor improves survival outcomes compared to standard of care treatment. GammaTile is an FDA-cleared, implantable radiation therapy device placed directly in the surgical cavity at the time of tumor removal surgery. Each GammaTile is made of a 2 cm × 2 cm collagen square that contains four radioactive sources (about the size of a grain of rice). Once implanted, GammaTile begins delivering radiation immediately, right where the tumor was removed. Participants will be randomized into one of two groups (like flipping a coin), with 2 participants being randomized to receive GammaTile for every 1 participant receiving standard care. Participants randomized into the standard care arm will undergo tumor removal surgery followed by 6 weeks of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and oral chemotherapy (temozolomide, TMZ), followed by additional cycles of TMZ. Participants in the GammaTile arm will have the GammaTile placed into their surgical site, and also receive all the standard care treatments. However, the radiation course will be four weeks instead of six weeks, because GammaTile will deliver part of the radiation dose. Participants can expect to be enrolled in this trial for up to three years. The most common side effects from the procedures in this trial include radiation brain injury, surgical complications, infections and fatigue.
Both external radiation and GT are FDA cleared for the treatment of malignant (cancerous) brain tumors and available to patients. The experimental part of the study is comparing standard of care to standard of care plus GT for this type of brain tumor.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). This study is testing and investigational drug called KTX-1001. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The primary purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of KTX-1001 and to find out how it is processed by the body. The drug is given to participants by mouth. Participants in this study can expect to be in this study until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal from the study. The total duration of the study may be approximately 4 years.
The purpose of this Study is to find out if dabogratinib, also known as TYRA-300 (which is also known as "Study Drug") is safe and effective at treating low grade upper tract urothelial cancer. Some patients have a certain alteration, or mutation, in the FGFR3 gene (a protein in the body) that can lead to cancer. The Study Drug is an experimental treatment (not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration [FDA] or any other regulatory agencies) that blocks the abnormal activity of FGFR3 in cancer cells which might be "driving" this type of cancer.
Most patients with this type of cancer have the FGFR3 alteration in their tumor(s) but there are some patients who do not. Participants that join this study could be on it for a few months up to 24 months.
This study is recruiting patients receiving cancer treatment that includes a type of drug called an "alkylating agent", which may cause side effects such as damage to the ovaries (female reproductive organs). The goal of the study is to determine the feasibility of conducting a cross network, multi-site, randomized clinical trial of triptorelin among newly diagnosed adolescent and young adult (AYA) female cancer patients age <40 years (exclusive of breast cancer). The triptorelin used in this study may affect how different parts of your body work such as your liver, kidneys, heart, and blood. Participants will receive the medications through an intramuscular (IM) injection in their arm. Study participation is expected to last up to three years.
This study is for adults diagnosed with advanced melanoma (a kind of skin cancer) that has spread or cannot be surgically removed. This study includes participants with advanced melanoma from any part of the body except the eye.
The main purpose of this research study is to learn if the study drug, brenetafusp (IMC-F106C), in combination with a standard therapy (nivolumab), works better than the standard therapy (nivolumab alone or in combination with relatlimab) at making tumors stop growing (or shrink). Nivolumab and relatlimab are FDA approved, however, the study drug, brenetafusp, is still being investigated and is not approved by the FDA.
Patients may participate in this study for up to 2 years. Procedures include CT, MRI, blood tests, drug administration, and regular visits with your doctor including follow-up study visits or phone calls. There will be about 680 people taking part in this study, approximately 5 patients will be enrolled at MUSC.
Risks include cytokine release syndrome, which could include flu-like symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, fever, tiredness, headache, chills, difficulty breathing and/or low blood pressure (symptoms may include dizziness or light headedness). Participants 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.
