This study investigates a new treatment, V940, combined with pembrolizumab for people who've had surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The goal is to check if this combination is safe, prevents cancer from returning, improves survival, and enhances quality of life compared to a placebo plus pembrolizumab. Participants will receive pembrolizumab, a drug that boosts the immune system to fight cancer. V940, a personalized treatment, uses genetic information from a patient's tumor to create a custom mRNA injection. It's experimental and not FDA-approved, but it offers a novel approach to empower the immune system against cancer, potentially bringing advancements in post-surgery NSCLC care.
This open-label research study will evaluate two investigational therapies, TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist and TransCon IL-2 β/γ, which are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Pembrolizumab, an FDA approved medication, also a study drug on this trial is given as standard of care for this type of cancer. This study begins with two study treatment groups, Groups A:TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist injected directed into the tumor once every 21 days and Group B: TransCon IL-2 β/γ which is given through a IV over 30 minutes once every 21 days. The surgery may occur after Cycle 2 of the medications at a scheduled time that the study doctor feels appropriate. Once 12 participants have completed study treatment, 6 in each group (A and B), an analysis will determine the continuation of the study. If it passes the criteria, the study will continue, and another study treatment group, Group C: Pembrolizumad alone given through an IV over 30 minutes once every 21 days, will open. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the three groups. At the present time, limited information is available on the adverse side effects potentially related to TransCon IL-2 β/γ and TransCon TLR7/8. Very common side effects observed with TransCon IL-2 β/γ include changes with your immune system being stimulated, blood pressure, and heartbeat. Also flu-like symptoms (nausea, fever, and chills), changes in lung/liver/kidney function, and brain related symptoms including dizziness, weakness, confusion, difficulty speaking, and/or decreased brain function, which may become life-threatening. TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist requires more data collection to determine the extent of side effects in humans. At this time, there are no proven benefits in humans however, the animal studies have shown promising results. The national accrual goal for this study is 92 participants and MUSC projects to accrual approximately 5 participants per year over a span of 2 years.
The study is for patients who have been diagnosed with an advanced/metastatic (meaning cancer has spread from where it started) solid tumor (cancer) with no standard treatment available. The investigational drug in this study is DB-1311. DB-1311 infusion is an antibody-drug combination composed of an anti-B7-H3 (a protein associated with worse overall survival and drug resistance) antibody and P1021 (novel topoisomerase I inhibitor). The antibody portion of the drug blocks a protein in the body that help cancer cells live, grow and spread. The purpose of this trial is to find a safe and tolerable dose of the study drug. Participation in this study will last about 24 months. The study consists of a screening visit, treatment visits, and a safety follow up visit.
ZL-1310 is a new experimental treatment designed to tackle small cell lung cancer (SCLC), a particularly aggressive form of lung cancer. The drug is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that specifically targets a protein called delta-like protein 3 (DLL3), found in high amounts in SCLC and other neuroendocrine tumors. The study aims to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and other characteristics of ZL-1310 in patients with SCLC that has relapsed or is resistant to platinum-based treatments. Previous attempts to target DLL3 faced challenges, and ZL-1310 seeks to overcome these issues, providing a potential breakthrough in treating SCLC, where current options are limited, and relapse rates are high. The study hopes to shed light on ZL-1310's potential as a novel and more effective therapy for patients facing few alternatives and poor prognoses.
This study will evaluate possible new treatments for advanced stage head and neck cancer. Patients who have undergone surgery to remove their tumor may qualify if the tissue is positive for a specific type of squamous cell cancer. The purpose of this study is to compare the current standard treatment, radiation therapy along with chemotherapy with a drug called cisplatin, to two other treatments. One experimental treatment is radiation therapy along with two chemotherapy agents, docetaxel and cetuximab, and the other experimental treatment is the standard treatment currently used along with the addition of an immunotherapy drug atezolizumab. Patients who qualify for participation will be randomly assigned to one of the 3 treatment groups (done with a computerized system). In the current standard treatment group, participants will receive radiation therapy 5 days per week for 6 weeks, and cisplatin once a week through a vein for the 6-week treatment period. The group receiving doxetaxel and cetuximab (both FDA approved medications for the treatment of certain cancers) will receive the same 6 weeks of radiation along with cetuximab through a vein 1 week prior to the start of radiation therapy, and then once a week for the 6 weeks of radiation and the doxetaxel will also be given through a vein once a week for the 6 weeks of radiation therapy. The final group will get the current standard treatment with 6 weeks of radiation and 6 weeks of cisplatin, along with atezolizumab through a vein 1 week prior to your starting radiation and then every 3 weeks for a total of 8 doses, There will be twice as many patients in this last group than the other two groups.
Follow-up will be at Month 1 & 3 and then every 3 months for 2 years, and then every 6 months for 3 more years, and then annually for as long as a participant is willing and able. There will be blood tests and CT scans that will occur throughout the study, however they are standard for the type of cancer being treated and how each individual responds to the treatment. The benefit of participation is there may be improved outcomes in this group of patients however the risks involved with receiving new treatments may be more than with the usual standard treatment. Some of the most common side effects that the study doctors know about are infection, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, pain, tiredness, kidney problems, numbness/tingling in hands and feet. There may be some risks that the study doctors are not aware of at the moment. There will be a total of up to 480 participants across all sites and approximately 24 participants at MUSC.
The study is for a patient that have been diagnosed with multiple myeloma. The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy of talquetamab subcutaneous(ly) (SC) in combination with daratumumab SC and pomalidomide (Tal-DP) and talquetamab SC in combination with daratumumab SC (Tal-D), respectively, with daratumumab SC in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone (DPd).Overall rationale of the study is that combination treatments of talquetamab, daratumumab, pomalidomide and dexamethasone may lead to enhanced clinical responses in treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma through multiple mechanisms of action. The study is divided into 3 phases: screening, treatment (until confirmed progressive disease, death, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or end of the study, whichever occurs first), and posttreatment follow-up (until death, withdrawal of consent, loss to follow-up, or end of the study, whichever occurs first).
This research is all about investigating a potential treatment for a specific type of advanced lung cancer. The cancer cells have a protein called c-Met that's acting a bit too excited, driving the cancer to spread and resist treatment. This study focuses on two treatments: one is called Telisotuzumab Vedotin (ABBV-399), which is a smart combination of an antibody and a drug that can stop this protein's activity. The other treatment is called Docetaxel. The researchers have already found in smaller studies that Telisotuzumab Vedotin could be promising for this type of cancer, especially in patients whose previous treatments didn't work well. Now they want to see if it can really make a difference in the long run. They'll be comparing Telisotuzumab Vedotin and Docetaxel to figure out which one is better at helping patients live longer without their cancer getting worse. In this study, participants will be randomly divided into two groups, like flipping a coin. One group will get a new medicine called telisotuzumab vedotin through a vein in their arm every two weeks. The other group will receive a treatment called docetaxel through a vein every three weeks. People in both groups will keep getting their assigned treatment until their doctors say it's time to stop based on certain criteria. Throughout the study, participants will have scans like X-rays or MRIs to see how their tumors are doing. These scans will happen at the beginning and then every few weeks for the first year, and less often as time goes on.Even if someone stops their treatment for a reason other than their cancer getting worse on these scans, the researchers will keep track of them until their cancer gets worse or until they decide they don't want to be in the study anymore.The whole study is expected to last around 38 months, which is a little over 3 years. They'll keep following up with the participants, either by talking to them, checking their medical records, or other appropriate methods, until the participants decide to leave the study or pass away. This study is a big step towards finding better options for people battling this tough form of lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate investigational treatments (study drugs) for metastatic esophageal carcinoma to determine if any of these study drugs improve overall survival as compared to standard treatments. The study drugs used in this trial are lenvatinib (E7080/MK‑7902), also called LENVIMA, and pembrolizumab (MK‑3475), also called KEYTRUDA or pembro. Both lenvatinib and pembrolizumab have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat various cancers but may not be approved for your type of cancer. Treatment for this study may be up to 3 years. The procedures include blood and urine samples, questionnaires, infusions, and CT scans. Risks include itchy skin, loose stools, cough, and joint pain. 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.

Bevacizumab is FDA approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat various cancers but may not be approved for your type of cancer. Treatment for this study may be up to 3 years. The procedures include blood and urine samples, questionnaires, infusions, and CT scans. Risks include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and numbness, tingling, or weakness in arms and legs. 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.
This project is being conducted in subjects that have been diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), MDS/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) including chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are candidates to receive treatment with single agent azacitidine based on local country approvals and/or local The study is designed to move efficiently from Phase 1 to Phase 3. This study is testing investigational drug called ASTX030. Investigational means that it is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but it is undergoing testing to find out if it is safe and effective. ASTX030 is a combination of two medicines, azacitidine and cedazuridine, given by mouth. The primary purpose is to test the levels of the investigational drug ASTX030 in your blood, including if food has an effect (Phase 1B only), the safety and tolerability of the drugs, and how subjects respond to the drug. The subject may remain in the study about 3 years. If you benefit from treatment, you may receive study drugs as long as you continue to benefit. If you develop side effects to the study drugs that prevent you from continuing treatment, or if your study doctor believes it is in your best interest to stop the study drug(s), you may be asked to stop the study treatment. After you stop treatment, the Sponsor will continue to collect health information to evaluate long-term effects of the study drugs.
