Summary

This study is to treat cutaneous squamous cell cancer that cannot be removed with surgery and is relatively large or has spread beyond its original location with the combination of radiation therapy and cemiplimab. Cemiplimab is FDA approved for this head and neck cancer, but the combination of cemiplimab and radiation is investigational. This treatment consist of 17 weeks of cemiplimab followed by 7 weeks of cemiplimab + radiation followed by 28 weeks of cemiplimab alone. There will be 3 clinic visits during treatment so the study doctor can check on the participant's health and see if they are having any side effects. Some of the most common risk and side effects that the study doctors know about are lack of energy or feeling tired (fatigue), loose or watery stools (diarrhea), rash, allergic reaction to study drug, and possible effects on liver, kidney, heart, and blood. Treatment will last a year with a follow-up call at the end of year 2.

Summary

This phase I trial will determine the maximum tolerated dose of lenalidomide when given in combination with high-dose systemic methotrexate and rituximab, with or without nivolumab, as induction treatment of primary central nervous system lymphoma. In addition, whether the combination of drugs can extend the control of CNS lymphoma by being used as maintenance (prolonged treatment) after control is achieved with the initial chemotherapy regimen (induction) will be judged. If decided to take part in the study, participants will complete pre-study testing, and if allowed to participate in study different people will get different doses of the study drug lenalidomide during induction chemotherapy. If the drug does not cause serious side effects, the next group of people in the study will get a higher dose, and the doses will continue to increase for every new group until people have serious side effects that require the dose to be lower. Lenalidomide will be taken by mouth on days 5 to 14 of each induction cycle. Once the dose of lenalidomide is found, the next group of people in the study will receive nivolumab in combination with the other drugs (methotrexate, rituximab, and lenalidomide). The first drug administered in each cycle is rituximab, which is given as an intravenous infusion typically in the infusion center. The day after rituximab, participants will be admitted to the hospital for the infusion of methotrexate. Enrolled participants that present benefit after induction will receive lenalidomide and nivolumab as prolonged therapy (maintenance) for an additional 12 months (12 cycles and each cycle is 28 days) or until the disease gets worse or the side effects become too severe. After treatment is completed the study doctor will continue to follow up on participants condition for 2 years to observe side effects. After 2 years the doctor will continue to follow up either in clinic or by phone for up to 5 years after registration. The most common side effects known are kidney damage, infusion reaction, blood clots, birth defects, immune toxicity, fever and infections, and there may be some risks that the study doctor is not aware of yet. Once the combination is proven safe, this study will allow for future studies to determine whether the combination of these four drugs can improve the response to treatment and help increase the understanding of their use in primary CNS lymphoma treatment. It is unclear whether these drugs will help participants live longer than the usual approach alone.

Summary

This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with a solid tumor cancer that has continued to grow despite treatments patients have already received (non-small cell lung cancer or urothelial cancer). The study drug is FF-10832 (gemcitabine liposome injection). Gemcitabine is a cancer treatment registered in the US for the treatment of ovarian, breast, non-small cell lung, and pancreatic carcinomas. The study drug is a new, liposomal formulation of Gemcitabine. This new formula was developed to increase the amount of gemcitabine that goes to tumor cells. The study drug will be given to patients by itself, or in combination with pembrolizumab. Pembrolizumab is an approved treatment for many types of cancer. There are two groups that a participant may be assigned to, which group a participant is assigned on will be determined randomly, in a 1:1 ratio, like flipping a coin. The drugs will be given via an infusion. There is a 50% chance of being assigned to either group. Participation in the study will likely last 12 months, but participants may stay on the study longer if the study treatment continues to benefit them. The study consists of a screening visit, treatment visits, end of study visit, and a long-term follow-up.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.
