This study is for patients that have been newly diagnosed with GCB Subtype of Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). This study is testing an investigational drug called zilovertamab vedotin. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In the study, participants will be randomized to two different groups (like flipping a coin). The first group will receive zilovertamab vedotin plus R-CHP [rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone]. The second group will receive the standard care regimen: polatuzumab vedotin plus R-CHP. The drugs will be given through an IV, and prednisone may be given to participants by mouth. The primary purpose of the study is to learn if zilovertamab vedotin plus R-CHP is safe and effective for treating DLBCL. Participants in this study can expect to be in this study for up to 5.5 years. The first six months will be participation in treatment, and the following five years will be follow-up.
This phase III trial compares the effectiveness of high dose chemotherapy and the patients' own (autologous) stem cells to observation only in patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma who achieved a complete response after initial chemotherapy. Participants will be separated into two groups, or randomized (like flipping a coin). The first group of participants will receive high dose chemotherapy followed by an autologous stem cell transplant. Giving chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow. Stem cells removed prior to treatment are then returned to the patient to replace the blood forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy. The second group will be observed by the study doctor and study team with check-ins every six months for 12 years after joining the trial. The group of participants who receive a stem cell transplant will also be checked by their doctor and study team for every 6 months for 12 years after joining the study. The main risks of the study treatment include reduced blood cell counts, nausea and vomiting, and damage to other organs (due to high dose chemotherapy).
This study is for participants that have been diagnosed with Intermediate or High-risk Primary or Secondary Myelofibrosis. This study is testing an investigational drug called Nuvisertib. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Nuvisertib. Nuvisertib is an oral PIM1 selective inhibitor. A PIM1 selective inhibitor is a drug that specifically targets and blocks the activity of the PIM-1 kinase, an enzyme implicated in cancer cell growth. This drug is given to participants by mouth. Participants in this study can expect to be in the treatment phase of this study for 19 months and the long term follow up phase for 3 years.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with metastatic or locally advanced unresectable solid tumors with tumor protein 53 (TP53) mutation/loss with or without brain metastasis. This study is testing an investigational drug called AO-252. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The primary purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), the recommended phase II does (RP2D), and the safety profile of AO-252. The drug is given to participants orally. Participants can expect to be on this study for approximately 24 months, followed by a 12-month follow-up period.
This study is for male subjects that have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Subjects are expected to remain in the study for a minimum of 12years or longer. There will be a total of 6 subjects locally enrolled. Subjects may experience the following risks: Bladder or prostate capsule perforation, Bladder neck contracture, Bleeding or blood in the urine, Bruising, Cancer progression, Electric shock/burn, Embolism, Incontinence or overactive bladder, and Infection.
This is a clinical use of an FDA-approved Humanitarian Use Device (HUD) under a Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) called Miltenyi Biotec CliniMACS CD34. The intent is to treat patients with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) in a clinical setting, not to conduct research or gather data on safety or effectiveness. No data will be collected beyond what is required for standard clinical care. Device-related processing will occur at an NMDP Advanced Cell Therapy Lab Solutions facility, and the resulting cell product will be transported to MUSC Hollings Cancer Center for infusion. Eligible patients are in first complete remission and undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT) from an HLA-identical matched related donor. Patients will be provided MUSC's standard treatment consent per institutional policies. The HUD will be stored, dispensed, and used at NMDP in accordance with standard operating procedures.
This study is for patients who have non-small cell lung cancer that is stage IV or has returned after remission. The goal is to compare the usual treatment by itself to the usual treatment plus a drug called cemiplimab. "Investigational" means this drug combination has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). A computer will randomly assign patients to one of two groups. This process is called "randomization." Patients will be placed into a group by chance, like flipping a coin, and will have an equal chance of being in Group 1 or Group 2. The drug is given by infusion. Patients will keep getting treatment until the cancer gets worse. Each treatment cycle lasts 21 days. After the last cycle, patients will be followed for up to 3 years.
This study is for patients diagnosed with unresectable locally recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer. The purpose of this study is to test if adding an investigational drug called amivantamab to the usual chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) is more effective in treating head and neck cancer when compared to being treated with carboplatin and paclitaxel alone. Carboplatin and paclitaxel are FDA approved to treat head and neck cancers; however, adding the study drug, amivantamab, 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, chemotherapy, and regular visits with your doctor including follow-up study visits or phone calls every 3 months. There will be about 50 people taking part in this study, approximately 3 participants will be enrolled at MUSC.
Risks include constipation, nausea, rash, vomiting, swelling of arms and/or legs. 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.
The purpose of this study is to test whether adding cetuximab to standard of care (pembrolizumab) is more effective in shrinking tumor size and increasing survival when compared to being treated with pembrolizumab alone. This study seeks to find if this approach is the same, better, or worse than standard of care for returning or spreading head and neck cancer after previous treatment.
Treatment and follow up for this study may be up to 5 years. The procedures include blood tests, CT or MRI scans, and chemotherapy. Risks include tiredness, anemia, constipation, loss of appetite, joint stiffness, cough, swelling and redness of the skin.
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. Both drugs, pembrolizumab and cetuximab, are already individually approved by the FDA for use in head and neck cancers. However, the benefit of combining the two drugs is being investigated in this study and this study approach is not FDA approved.
There will be about 158 people taking part in this study, approximately 4 subjects will be enrolled at MUSC.
This study is for subjects who have been diagnosed with recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer. Subjects are expected to remain in the study for a minimum of 70 months. Drugs are FDA approved and is given through a vein (also called IV or intravenous). The procedures include blood and urine tests, troponin test. Risks include infection, bruising, bleeding, anemia, kidney damage, hearing loss, nausea, vomiting, numbness, pain, rash, blood in urine. You may not receive a benefit from participating in this trial, however, information learned from the trial may help other people in the future.
