Summary

This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with advanced cancer. The purpose of this study is to find subjects with advanced cancer that had an exceptional disease response (improvement) while being treated with standard immunotherapy agents. This study will monitor their progression through a series of blood draws. Subjects will either continue immunotherapy or have completed immunotherapy. Participation in the study will take about 6 visits over a period of about 2 years. During this time the study team will follow your care by clinic visit, phone contact and/or medical record review every three months to collect information on the status of your cancer. This is not a treatment study.

Summary

This study is for men with prostate cancer that has come back after surgery. This study is being done to see if PET/CT scans help provide more tailored treatment recommendations and outcomes for men who have prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy (RP) and will adding focal, metastasis directed radiation treatment (e.g.., stereotactic radiation) and/or additional systemic therapy (e.g., apalutamide) to standard of care treatment help to delay progression of prostate cancer in men who have already had an RP and now have recurrence?

A Randomized Phase II/III Trial of Modern Immunotherapy Based Systemic Therapy With or Without SBRT for PD-L1-Negative, Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Researcher
Mariam Alexander

Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Lung, Lung
Summary

This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The purpose of this study is to compare the usual treatment alone to using SBRT plus the usual treatment. This study will help the study doctors find out if this different approach is better than the usual approach. To decide if it is better, the study doctors will be looking to see if the addition of SBRT increases the life of patients by 6 months or more compared to the usual approach. The study drugs are nivolumab and ipilimumab. Participants can expect to be on this study for up to 2 years.

A Multi-Site Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing a Brief Tele-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Intervention (BRIGHT) with Attention Control for the Management of Body Image-Related Distress Among Head and Neck Cancer Survivors

Cancer/Head & Neck
Summary

Because head and neck cancer arises in cosmetically and functionally critical areas, head and neck cancer survivors suffer high rates of body image-related distress. Body image-related distress is a source of significant morbidity, contributing to stigmatization, social isolation, and worse quality of life. Unfortunately, effective therapies exist to manage body image-related distress among head and neck cancer survivors are lacking. We have developed a novel, scalable, tele-cognitive behavioral therapy intervention for head and neck cancer survivors with body image disturbance that could provide the first effective treatment in this population, thereby minimizing psychosocial morbidity, improving quality of life, and developing new standards of clinical care.

T-reg function changes: a novel immune regulatory effect underlying benefit of statin use on lethal prostate cancer

Date Added

PRO Number
Pro00120567
Researcher
Michael Marrone

List of Studies

Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Genitourinary, Drug Studies, Men's Health, Prostate
Summary

This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with prostate cancer that can be removed by surgery. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a group of drugs called statins can help to reduce the risk of prostate cancer returning after surgery. The drug used in this study is a particular type of statin called simvastatin. Simvastatin is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to help lower cholesterol (fatty deposits in your blood) and decrease the risk of heart disease. Its use in this research study is considered investigational, and not FDA approved for the subject's cancer. Subjects can expect to be in the active participation portion of this study for about 3 months. Afterwards, the study team may contact them or their medical providers every 6 months to follow their cancer care and collect information on their current health status.
