Background: Drugs or cell therapies to treat cancer can sometimes cause cytokine release syndrome (CRS). That is, the body makes too many cytokines after treatment. Cytokines are proteins that play a role in the immune system. CRS can cause fever, chills, fatigue, low blood pressure, or breathing problems. Researchers want to know if continuously monitoring a person s body temperature can help reduce the chance of getting serious CRS. Objective: To learn if an approved patch called TempTraq can detect fever before serious CRS develops. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with cancer who are staying at the NIH clinic for treatment with drugs or cell therapies. Design: Participants will receive TempTraq patches and a special NIH tablet. The TempTraq is a small patch applied to clean, dry skin under the arm. It continually monitors body temperature and sends the data to an application on the tablet. Participants will wear the patch most of the time they are admitted to the hospital. They could wear it for up to 15 days. The patch monitoring does not replace regular temperature checks, all participants will still have have their regular temperature checks as part of their treatment plan. Participants may also opt to use VitalTraq, another application on the tablet. They will hold the screen up to their face for about 1 minute. VitalTraq uses the camera in the tablet to measure blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing. They will do this once per day while they are in the clinic; they may do it more often if they have a fever or feel unwell. Blood may be drawn for research. Participants will be asked about their experience within 1 week after TempTraq is removed. Participants who choose to use the patch, complete its use, and return at a later date for another treatment or study, may be able to re-enroll to have the patch used again.
NCT02423057
Background: \- Genes are made up of DNA and are the instruction book for cells. When people have cancer, some of the genes that might have slowed the growth of tumor cells were turned off. Researchers think a drug called TdCyd might help to turn these genes back on. This may slow the growth of tumors in people with cancer. Objectives: \- To test the safety of TdCyd and to find out how it works. Also, to find out the dose of the drug that can be safely given to humans. Eligibility: \- Adults 18 years and older who have advanced cancer that has progressed after standard treatment, or for which no effective therapy exists. Design: * Participants will take TdCyd by mouth. The drug is given in 21-day cycles. TdCyd is taken once a day during week 1 for 5 days. Then for 2 days participants do not take the drug. Then they take it for 5 days during week 2. No TdCyd is taken during week 3. * Participants will keep a diary of their study drug doses. * Participants will have tests about every 3 weeks to see how the study drugs are affecting their body. They will have blood and urine tests, a medical history, and physical exams. They may have computed tomography (CT) scans to measure their tumors. They may have an electrocardiogram, which measures the heart electrical activity. * If participants develop any side effects, they may be asked to visit more often. * Participants will stay in the study as long as they are tolerating TdCyd and their tumors are either stable or getting better. One month after stopping the drug, they will have a follow-up phone call.
NCT03206060
Background: Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma are rare tumors. They usually form inside and near the adrenal gland or in the neck region. Not all these tumors can be removed with surgery, and there are no good treatments if the disease has spread. Researchers think a new drug may be able to help. Objective: To learn the safety and tolerability of Lu-177-DOTATATE. Also, to see if it improves the length of time it takes for the cancer to return. Eligibility: Adults who have an inoperable tumor of the study cancer that can be detected with Ga-68-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history, physical exam, and blood tests. Eligible participants will be admitted to the NIH Clinical Center. Participants will get the study drug in an intravenous infusion. They will get 4 doses, given about 8 weeks apart. Between 4 and 24 hours after each study drug dose, participants will have scans taken. They will lie on their back on a scanner table. Participants will have vital signs taken. They will give blood and urine samples. During the study, participants will have other scans taken. Some scans will use a radioactive tracer. Participants will complete quality of life questionnaires. Participants will be contacted by phone 1-3 days after they leave the Clinical Center. They will then be followed every 3 to 6 months for 3 years or until their disease gets worse.
NCT07543848
This study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a combination treatment including a PD-1 inhibitor (serplulimab), oncolytic virus H101, short-course radiotherapy, and XELOX chemotherapy as total neoadjuvant therapy in patients with locally advanced low rectal cancer (cT1-3N0M0). In this prospective, multicenter, single-arm phase II study, eligible patients will receive a standardized treatment regimen consisting of intratumoral injection of oncolytic virus H101, short-course radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy over multiple cycles. Tumor response will be assessed using imaging, endoscopy, and clinical evaluation after completion of treatment. The primary objective is to determine the 1-year clinical complete response rate. Secondary outcomes include tumor response rate, organ preservation rate, survival outcomes, and treatment safety. The results of this study may help improve treatment strategies for rectal cancer, increase the rate of complete response, and provide more opportunities for organ preservation while maintaining safety.
NCT06608446
The most common complaints after breast surgery are postoperative pain reported in up to 68% of patients, musculoskeletal problems in the shoulder and functional limitations in up to 59% of patients after mastectomy and quadrantectomy, reduction in range of motion ( ROM) in 24-53% and strength deficit. The study aims to verify the effectiveness of a telerehabilitation treatment in terms of prevention of possible complications following breast cancer surgery. Primary objective: to examine whether the group of patients undergoing rehabilitation surgery in the immediate post-operative period shows a reduction in the onset of complications compared to the group of patients who followed standard procedures. Secondary objective: to study any preoperative prognostic factors for the onset of complications, to study the effectiveness of the rehabilitation treatment in terms of reduction of painful symptoms, improvement of joint ROM, muscle strength and perceived quality of life.
NCT07541924
Colonoscopy is the cornerstone for colorectal cancer screening, diagnosis, and post-treatment surveillance. Procedural quality is influenced by patient anatomy, particularly variations in colonic configuration such as sigmoid redundancy, looping, and low-lying transverse colon. These features prolong insertion time, increase patient discomfort, and elevate physician workload. Evidence suggests that prior CT imaging can provide objective and individualized information on colonic anatomy-such as redundancy, angulation, and tortuosity-potentially predicting procedural difficulty. However, existing studies are mainly retrospective or descriptive, lacking prospective randomized evidence on clinical utility. This single-blind, randomized controlled trial evaluates whether image-assisted colonoscope insertion, based on pre-existing abdominal/pelvic CT scans, can improve cecal intubation time, enhance patient experience, reduce operator workload, and improve overall examination quality compared with standard colonoscopy.
NCT07542041
The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate whether the NEO-Match® test, based on ARTIDIS nanomechanical profiling technology, can help predict treatment outcomes and improve clinical decision-making in patients with suspected pancreatic cancer undergoing biopsy. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Can the NEO-Match® test predict how patients respond to neoadjuvant (pre-surgical) treatment for pancreatic cancer? * How well does the NEO-Match® test detect malignant pancreatic lesions compared to standard histopathological assessment? This is a prospective, single-arm study. Researchers will compare results from the NEO-Match® test with standard clinical outcomes, imaging findings, and pathology results to evaluate its predictive and diagnostic performance. Participants will: * Undergo a standard-of-care pancreatic biopsy or surgical procedure * Provide an additional biopsy sample for research analysis using the ARTIDIS ART-1 device * Continue to receive standard treatment and care, which is not influenced by the study * Have clinical data, imaging results, and treatment outcomes collected * Be followed every 3 months for up to 2 years The study does not involve experimental treatment or changes to standard medical care. The information collected may help improve future diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment selection for patients with pancreatic cancer.
NCT07258836
The purpose of the study is to check how safe and well-tolerated \[18F\]LY4214835 injection is in healthy participants and participants with cancer. The study drug will be administered intravenously (IV) (into a vein). Participation in the study will last approximately 35 days.
NCT07536087
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the technical feasibility and effectiveness of endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) in the treatment of pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs) and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) in patients who are not suitable candidates for surgical treatment or who refuse surgery. EUS-RFA, as a minimally invasive therapeutic option, may potentially reduce the need for intensive imaging surveillance, prevent further progression of these lesions, and serve as a bridging therapy in selected patients for whom surgical intervention may be considered in the future. At the same time, EUS-RFA could contribute to reducing overtreatment, thereby lowering the risk of complications associated with surgical procedures and leading to an overall reduction in healthcare costs. The secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety profile of EUS-RFA, including the incidence and severity of adverse events both in the early postoperative period and during the first year of follow-up, as well as to assess the long-term efficacy of EUS-RFA, including disease progression.
NCT03162627
This study has 2 phases: Phase 1 (dose escalation) and Phase 2 (dose expansion). The goal of Phase 1 of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose combination of selumetinib and olaparib that can be given to patients who have solid tumors that are advanced or recurrent (has returned after treatment). The goal of Phase 2 is to learn if the highest tolerable dose combination found in Phase 1 can help to control advanced or recurrent solid tumors. The safety of the study drug combination will also be studied in both parts. This is an investigational study. Selumetinib is not FDA approved or commercially available. It is currently being used for research purposes only. Olaparib is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of ovarian cancer that has a certain type of genetic mutation (change). It is considered investigational to use selumetinib in combination with olaparib to treat advanced or recurrent cancer. The study doctor can explain how the study drugs are designed to work. Up to 90 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.
NCT03091192
This study is designed for patients diagnosed with MET-driven, unresectable and locally advanced or metastatic Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma. The purpose of this study is to see if an investigational new anti-cancer medication, savolitinib, is effective in treating patients with MET-driven PRCC, how it compares with another medication frequently used to treat this disease called sunitinib, and what side effects it might cause.
NCT03937453
The main goal of this study is to explore the relationship between new-onset diabetes mellitus/deteriorating diabetes and a subsequent diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Magnetic cholangiopancreatography (MRI/MRCP) will be utilized to screen for early stage pancreatic cancer or precursor lesions. Participants will be asked to donate a blood sample at specific intervals for the creation of a bio-bank necessary for the development of a blood based screening test for pancreatic cancer.

NCT04420884
The main aim of this study is to check if people with advanced solid tumors have side effects from dazostinag, and to check how much dazostinag they can receive without getting significant side effects from it when given alone and in combination with pembrolizumab. The study will be conducted in two phases including a dose escalation phase and a dose expansion phase. In the dose escalation phase, escalating doses of dazostinag are being tested alone and in combination with pembrolizumab to treat participants who have advanced or metastatic solid tumors. In the dose expansion phase, dazostinag will be studied with pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy in participants with untreated metastatic or recurrent, unresectable squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck (SCCHN) and in combination with pembrolizumab in third-line or later recurrent locally advanced or metastatic microsatellite instability-high/mismatch repair deficient (MSI-H/dMMR) and third-line recurrent locally advanced or metastatic microsatellite stable/mismatch repair proficient (MSS/pMMR) colorectal cancer (CRC).
NCT06003231
This clinical trial is studying advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Once a solid tumor has grown very large in one spot or has spread to other places in the body, it is called advanced or metastatic cancer. Participants in this study must have head and neck cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, endometrial cancer, or ovarian cancer. In the first part of the study, participants must have tumors that have a marker called HER2. This clinical trial uses an experimental drug called disitamab vedotin (DV). DV is a type of antibody-drug conjugate or ADC. ADCs are designed to stick to cancer cells and kill them. In this study, all participants will get DV once every 2 weeks. This study is being done to see if DV works to treat different types of solid tumors that express HER2. It will also test how safe the drug is for participants. This trial will also study what side effects happen when participants get the drug. A side effect is anything a drug does to your body besides treating the disease.
