NCT04462406
This phase II trial investigates how well biomarkers on PET/CT imaging drive early discontinuation of anti-PD-1 therapy in patients with stage IIIB-IV melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Anti-PD-1 therapy has become a standard therapy option for patients with unresectable melanoma. This trial is being done to determine if doctors can safely shorten the use of standard of care anti-PD1 therapy for melanoma by using biomarkers seen on PET/CT imaging and tumor biopsy.
NCT01366144
This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of veliparib when given together with paclitaxel and carboplatin in treating patients with solid tumors that are metastatic or cannot be removed by surgery and liver or kidney dysfunction. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving veliparib together with paclitaxel and carboplatin may kill more tumor cells.
NCT03210714
This phase II Pediatric MATCH trial studies how well erdafitinib works in treating patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders with FGFR mutations that have spread to other places in the body and have come back or do not respond to treatment. Erdafitinib may stop the growth of cancer cells with FGFR mutations by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
NCT03155620
This phase II Pediatric MATCH screening and multi-sub-trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in pediatric patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphomas, or histiocytic disorders that have progressed following at least one line of standard systemic therapy and/or for which no standard treatment exists that has been shown to prolong survival. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic mutation, and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
NCT04899063
Evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of the ELIOS System procedure to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in adult subjects with mild to moderate primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) undergoing cataract surgery
NCT07082868
The purpose of this study is to find out whether the combination of epcoritamab and ibrutinib is a safe treatment approach that causes few or mild side effects in people with relapsed/refractory primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) or secondary central nervous system lymphoma (SCNSL).
NCT04771520
This phase II trial studies the effect of avapritinib in treating malignant solid tumors that have a genetic change (mutation) in CKIT or PDGFRA and have spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or other places in the body (metastatic). Avapritinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Avapritinib may help to control the growth of malignant solid tumors.
NCT03258554
This phase II/III trial studies how well radiation therapy works with durvalumab or cetuximab in treating patients with head and neck cancer that has spread to a local and/or regional area of the body who cannot take cisplatin. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Cetuximab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not known if radiation therapy with durvalumab will work better than the usual therapy of radiation therapy with cetuximab in treating patients with head and neck cancer.
NCT07587190
The study aims 1) to adapt, 2) to develop implementation strategies for and 3) to evaluate the effect of implementing a practice guideline for acute abdomen at primary care level in Zambia. We employ a sequential exploratory mixed method study design. Qualitative and quantitative data from health care workers will be used to adapt a practice guideline developed in a high-income into a low- and middle-income (LMIC) context and to develop strategies for successful implementation. The primary outcome of interest is the prospective change in length of stay in hospital among patients presenting with acute abdomen in the intervention site compared to the control site. The study will address the scarcity of literature on practice guidelines for acute abdomen in the LMIC context. The implementation of an adapted guideline may contribute to a reduction of the morbidity and mortality rates associated with acute abdomen in this setting by increasing management capacity at the primary care level.
NCT06820086
This research investigates the potential advantages of intensive preventive statin treatment for healthy men aged 45-80 and women aged 55-80 who possess a high genetic predisposition to coronary artery disease (CAD). By specifically targeting the top 20% of individuals with elevated CAD polygenic risk scores (PRS), the study seeks to find out whether this tailored approach can notably decrease the occurrence of cardiovascular disease and mortality over a five-year period when compared with usual care. Despite the potential of PRS in pinpointing individuals at heightened risk for cardiovascular disease, there is a lack of focused and prospective investigations in existing research. This study aims to bridge this gap by examining whether preventive statin therapy for individuals with high CAD PRS is not only effective in diminishing cardiovascular events but also economically viable. The comparison between the statin treatment arm and standard care practice is conducted in a pragmatic manner at the primary care level.
NCT05627245
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of combination therapy with tazemetostat and belinostat in treating patients with lymphoma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Tazemetostat is in a class of medications called EZH2 inhibitors. The EZH2 gene provides instructions for making a type of enzyme called histone methyltransferase which is involved in gene expression and cell division. Blocking EZH2 may help keep cancer cells from growing. Belinostat is in a class of medications called histone deacetylase inhibitors. Histone deacetylases are enzymes needed for cell division. Belinostat may kill cancer cells by blocking histone deacetylase. It may also prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow and may help make cancer cells easier to kill with other anticancer drugs. There is some evidence in animals and in living human cells that combination therapy with tazemetostat and belinostat can shrink or stabilize cancer, but it is not known whether this will happen in people. This trial may help doctors learn more about treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory lymphoma.
NCT05691504
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of combination therapy with pelcitoclax (APG-1252) and cobimetinib in treating patients with ovarian and endometrial cancers that have come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). APG-1252 is a drug that inhibits activity of proteins that prevent cell death, leading to increased cell death and reduced cell growth. Cobimetinib is used in patients whose cancer has a mutated (changed) form of a gene called BRAF. It is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of cancer cells. Giving APG-1252 in combination with cobimetinib may shrink or stabilize tumor in patients with recurrent ovarian and endometrial cancers.
NCT05672251
This phase II trial studies the safety and how well of loncastuximab tesirine when given together with mosunetuzumab works in treating patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Loncastuximab tesirine is a monoclonal antibody, loncastuximab, linked to a toxic agent called tesirine. Loncastuximab attaches to anti-CD19 cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers tesirine to kill them. Mosunetuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving loncastuximab tesirine with mosunetuzumab may help treat patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
NCT07454798
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a home-based virtual reality (VR) neurofeedback program is feasible and acceptable for adolescents with migraine. The study will also explore whether the program may improve headache-related outcomes. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is it feasible to enroll, randomize, and retain adolescents with migraine in this study? Do participants complete the VR sessions and study procedures as intended? Are there preliminary signals that the VR neurofeedback program may improve headache-related disability and symptoms? Researchers will compare Immersive Neurofeedback Self-Regulation Training (INSeRT), which uses brain activity recorded from a wearable electroencephalogram (EEG) headband to guide the VR experience, to a comparison VR program that presents immersive imagery without neurofeedback or guided relaxation training. Participants will: Complete a 4-week baseline period that includes headache logs, questionnaires, and a laboratory EEG assessment Be randomly assigned to one of two VR programs Complete VR sessions at home three times per week for 4 weeks Complete questionnaires at the end of treatment and again approximately 3 months later Repeat the laboratory EEG assessment at the end of treatment
NCT06804655
Advanced technology of ex vivo drug profiling referred to as pharmacoscopy may allow to identify novel drugs for the treatment of glioblastoma and other refractory brain tumors at an individual patient level. This personalized therapeutic approach was developed and validated in pre-clinical glioma models. With the current research proposal, we seek to establish feasibility for a clinical interventional trial for patients with refractory primary brain tumors that is based on pharmacoscopy-guided selection of treatment. The study is supported by an unrestricted grant from Anti Cancer Fund.
NCT05271318
This is an open-label, phase 1/1b, dose-escalation, multicenter and multinational trial evaluating the safety of oncolytic adenovirus TILT-123 in combination with Pembrolizumab, or Pembrolizumab and Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin in patients with platinum resistant or refractory ovarian cancer.
NCT03684109
MRI-based sequences can provide non-invasive quantification of intratumoral 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) distribution and tumor cellularity in human gliomas and help guide the development of novel glioma therapies.
NCT05969860
This clinical trial studies the effect of cancer directed therapy given at-home versus in the clinic for patients with cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Currently most drug-related cancer care is conducted in infusion centers or specialty hospitals, where patients spend many hours a day isolated from family, friends, and familiar surroundings. This separation adds to the physical, emotional, social, and financial burden for patients and their families. The logistics and costs of navigating cancer treatments have become a principal contributor to patients' reduced quality of life. It is therefore important to reduce the burden of cancer in the lives of patients and their caregivers, and a vital aspect of this involves moving beyond traditional hospital and clinic-based care and evaluate innovative care delivery models with virtual capabilities. Providing cancer treatment at-home, versus in the clinic, may help reduce psychological and financial distress and increase treatment compliance, especially for marginalized patients and communities.
NCT06638931
The ANTARES study is a phase II basket trial designed to evaluate the tissue-agnostic efficacy of the monoclonal anti-PD1 antibody, nivolumab, in patients with advanced or metastatic rare tumors. The study aims to treat rare malignancies with PD-L1 expression (CPS ≥ 10), regardless of the tumor's tissue type or location. Patients who have not responded to standard treatments will be included, and treatment will last for up to 12 months. The study will assess objective response, progression-free survival, and biomarkers such as PD-L1, ctDNA, and microvesicles, in a multicenter collaborative effort to provide innovative therapeutic options for this underrepresented population
NCT03439267
The primary objective of this study is to test the effectiveness of a proactive cardiovascular primary prevention strategy, with or without the use of coronary calcium screening, compared to current standard care, in preventing future major adverse cardiac events (MACE), including all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, or any arterial revascularization among a moderate risk population with no current evidence of cardiovascular disease.
