NU 05H6: Acute Leukemias and Map KinaseNormally, white blood cells are produced in a controlled way by the bone marrow. In someone with AML or ALL, this production process is abnormal and immature cells are produced and sent into the blood stream. In this immature state, the cells affect the production of other normal cells and … Normally, white blood cells are produced in a controlled way by the bone marrow. In someone with AML or ALL, this production process is abnormal and immature cells are produced and sent into the blood stream. In this immature state, the cells affect the production of other normal cells and these cannot perform their usual functions. Therefore patients with AML or ALL are vulnerable to infection, anemia, and bleeding. The purpose of this study is to understand what causes the white blood cells to grow abnormally, and to determine if there are novel agents that can be used to stop this abnormal growth. In this research project, a sample of blood and bone marrow will be studied in the laboratory to learn more about the nature of the disease, and to understand what causes the defect in the growth of these cells. Eligibility Criteria You may be eligible for this research study if you have been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), which are cancers of the blood that affect white blood cells.

Genetics of BRCA2-related Prostate CancerRecruiting Research Participants for a New Study on the “Genetics of Prostate Cancer”At the time of conception, fertilization of the egg by the sperm brings together the genetic material (DNA) from both parents, half from the mother and half from the father, producing the embryo. In the very early … Recruiting Research Participants for a New Study on the “Genetics of Prostate Cancer” At the time of conception, fertilization of the egg by the sperm brings together the genetic material (DNA) from both parents, half from the mother and half from the father, producing the embryo. In the very early stages of embryonic development, the embryo is made up of cells that have the potential to develop into all types of cells, like skin, muscle, liver, brain, pancreas, breast, ovary, fallopian tube, or prostate cells. Because of this ability, these cells are called “pluripotent” embryonic stem cells (ESCs). However, about a week after fertilization, the embryonic cells lose their ability to develop into all of the different cells and tissues of the body and gradually “differentiate” into the various tissues and organs that have different specific functions. So, there is a relatively narrow window during which pluripotent ESCs exist in the embryo. At the end of the in vitro fertilization (IVF) process for couples undergoing subfertility treatment, the doctors are usually left with one-week-old embryos. In 1998, using such embryos for research, scientists figured out how to grow pluripotent ESCs in the lab that can stay in their pluripotent state if the right growth conditions are present. Changing the growth conditions in certain ways, scientists learned how to stimulate the ESCs to go through a process called “differentiation,” in which the stem cells can develop into any of the different cell types present in the body. ESCs were used in the early animal cloning experiments that produced the cloned ewe named “Dolly;” however, cloning human cells is illegal. While ESCs offer promising and exciting opportunities, like the possibility of growing organs in the lab, because their production involves technical and ethical problems, efforts were directed to produce pluripotent stem cells from mature cells to avoid the use of embryos. In 2007, Japanese researchers found an amazing way (for which they received a Nobel Prize) to transform mature cells, like regular skin or blood cells, directly into stem cells without using human eggs. They found a combination of proteins that, if injected into mature cells, gradually reprogrammed them into induced pluripotent stem cells, abbreviated iPSCs. Research Project Drs. Dan Theodorescu and Clive Svendsen, the Principal Investigators at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California in collaboration with Dr. William Catalona, the Principal Investigator at Northwestern University are engaged in research using iPSCs to develop a model of human prostate cancer using iPSCs from men who carry BRCA2 mutations that are related to a higher risk for developing aggressive prostate cancer (the Cedars-Sinai team has already accomplished this for ovarian cancer in women who carry BRCA1 mutations). As study controls, they will also enroll men with non-BRCA2-related prostate cancer and those without prostate cancer. They will not use embryos. In the laboratory, the researchers will take the white blood cells from a blood sample back in time to when they were capable of making any cell type in the body and differentiate them forward into prostate cells carrying (or for non-BRCA2-mutation carriers, not carrying) the BRCA2 mutation in a petri dish. Using these transformed prostate cells, they will use current genetic engineering and molecular biology research methods to study the mechanisms of the transformation of normal prostate cells into aggressive prostate cancer cells. This model also can be used in cell-signaling studies and drug screening studies for designing future therapies. The bank of prostate iPSCs that they will create may be shared with research institutions around the world. These researchers are now recruiting men and their male family members who carry a BRCA2 mutation and other prostate cancer patients and controls without prostate cancer to participate in this study. This research is being performed to discover the causes of prostate cancer and how it is passed down in families using the BRCA2 mutation as a model system and also can be applied to non-BRCA2-related cancers. This study is called “The genetics of prostate cancer” and is approved by the Institutional Review Boards at Northwestern University (STU00018651) and Cedars Sinai, whose function is to protect the rights of research subjects and to oversee ethical issues. Participation in this study will involve having up to 50 ml of your blood drawn (10 teaspoons), and completing family history questionnaires (baseline and follow-ups) and clinical follow-up questionnaires, if applicable. The time involved includes the time required to read the 10-page consent form, and the time required to travel to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Galter Pavilion, 675 North St. Clair Street, Chicago, IL 60611 for the research blood draw.If it is not convenient for you to come to our clinic you may be able to get blood drawn at a clinic of your choice and we will arrange to have it shipped to Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, California. It will take about 20 to 40 minutes to complete the questionnaire. In the case that your family history suggests familial prostate cancer, Dr. Catalona may want your family members to participate in the study as well. You may be asked to contact your relative(s) about the study. We will follow up with a family history follow-up questionnaire annually, which takes 15 to 30 minutes to finish, to update the file. If you develop prostate cancer, we will want you to fill out a clinical follow-up questionnaire about prostate cancer and follow you up with the questionnaire annually as well, which takes 10 minutes to finish. In addition, we may request up one or more additional blood samples of 10 to 20 ml (2-4 teaspoons) from you at a later date, depending on the evolving needs of the study. You may refuse to provide these follow-up blood samples without affecting your participation in this study. The blood sample(s) will be saved for future analysis. Efforts will be made to limit the use and disclosure of your personal information, including research studies and medical records, to people who have a need to review this information. We cannot promise complete secrecy. Organizations that may inspect and copy your information include the IRB and other representatives of this institution. Research results will not be available to you or your physician except under extraordinary circumstances. These are situations in which a life-threatening medical disorder is discovered for which medical treatment is available to prevent or alleviate long-term medical complications. If such a situation should occur, we will contact you via phone, email or mail. Those interested in participating may contact Dr. Catalona at 312 695-4471 or william.catalona@nm.org.

This study is evaluating an on-line registry for kidney cancer patients called ‰ÛÏMyQOL,‰Û which stands for My Quality of Life.
Overview
A registry is a repository (database) of information about a group of people who share a common characteristic - in this case, kidney cancer. MYQOL registry participants enter information about their disease, treatment, symptoms, health status, and quality of life into an on-line, password-protected database on a regularly scheduled basis. Participants can use the registry to track many of their symptoms and their health status over time and to compare themselves (anonymously) with other groups of people (for example, how their level of fatigue compares with the average level of fatigue reported by other participants in the registry). Participants can also choose to share relevant information about themselves (from the registry) with their health care provider(s), by printing copies of their completed forms. Registry participants will be offered opportunities to join in other research studies when available.
Description of Treatment
Participants in this study will be asked to do the following for a 1-year trial period: 1) enroll in the on-line registry; 2) complete questionnaires about their health and treatment every 3 months ; and 3) be willing to have MYQOL researchers contact them confidentially about participating in other research studies. This does not mean that participants are obligated to participate in future research studies; only that they agree to be contacted. Eligibility CriteriaSome of the eligibility criteria include: - Participants must have a kidney cancer diagnosis. - Participants must be 18 or older. - Participants must be able to read English well enough to complete questionnaires.

NCI 15H01: Triad1 Regulates Myelopoiesis and Functions as a Leukemia SuppressorResearchers have found that about 60% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) will obtain a remission following treatment with combinations of chemotherapy drugs. However, relapse after treatment remains a problem, and can be as high as 80% in some types of AML patients. Therefore, it would be beneficial to … Researchers have found that about 60% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) will obtain a remission following treatment with combinations of chemotherapy drugs. However, relapse after treatment remains a problem, and can be as high as 80% in some types of AML patients. Therefore, it would be beneficial to identify specific treatment approaches for patients at a high risk for relapse. One characteristic associated with high relapse rates is an increase in proteins that are referred to as Hox proteins in the leukemia cells. Increase in Hox proteins prevents production of some other proteins, including a protein referred to as Triad1. An increase in Triad1 protein in bone marrow cells may be important to control the growth of such cells. Decreased Triad1 in leukemia cells may therefore promote their growth, but this has not been previously studied. The purpose of this study is to investigate if the lack of Triad1 in leukemia cells contributes to resistance of some leukemias to chemotherapy drugs. This research may prove to be helpful in the design of new and more effective treatments for leukemia in the future. At a time when you are having a bone marrow biopsy and aspirate performed as part of your standard medical care, about an additional 2.5 teaspoons (12.5 mL) of bone marrow will be collected for this research study.

The purpose of this research study is to determine the effects (good and bad) bevacizumab (the study drug) combined with Optune (the study device) tumor treatment field therapy has on meningiomas.

The purpose of this research study is to determine the effects (good and bad) bevacizumab (the study drug) combined with Optune (the study device) tumor treatment field therapy has on meningiomas.
Overview
Bevacizumab (the study drug) is considered investigational because the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved its use for the treatment of meningiomas. The study drug is a medication that blocks the growth of new blood vessels. In order for tumors to grow they need to have a blood supply. Tumor cells have been shown to produce substances that stimulate the abnormal growth of new blood vessels that allow the tumor to grow. It is thought that the study drug may interfere with the growth of new blood vessels and therefore might stop tumor growth, and possibly shrink the tumor by keeping it from receiving nutrients and oxygen supplied by the blood vessels.
Optune (the study device) is also considered investigational because the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved its use for the treatment of meningiomas. The study device, Optune is a device that the patient will wear and use for at least 18 hours of each day. It delivers alternating electrical current to the patient‰Ûªs brain tumor and by doing so interrupts a process called mitosis. Mitosis needs to occur in order for cell division to occur and allows tumors to grow. By slowing this process, we hypothesize that meningioma growth may also be slowed.
Description of Treatment
Tumor treatment field therapy with Optune will be initiated at the same time as bevacizumab, with both treatments to start within a one-week period of each other. Bevacizumab will be given at current standard central nervous system (CNS) dosing of 10mg/kg q2 weeks in an outpatient setting. After 4 cycles (1 cycle=28days) of therapy (Cycle 5 day 1) patients may choose to switch to bevacizumab at a dose of 15 mg/kg q3 weeks. For patients who chose to make this switch, they have to do it on Day1 of a new cycle. Tumor treatment fields with Optune will be delivered for at least 18 hours a day at a frequency of 200 KHz and intensity of 1-3V/cm. Treatment will be continued until disease progression or up to 1 year. Eligibility Criteria"Some of the eligibility criteria include: - Patients must be age = 18 years. Both males and females and patients from all ethnic backgrounds are eligible. - Patients must have a histologic diagnosis of meningioma, WHO grade 2 or 3 (atypical or anaplastic). - All patients must have developed recurrent disease/progression after receiving all standard treatments.

Our goal is to determine if being physically active may be associated with a healthy pattern of DNA methylation in your immune system cells. Exercising and being physically active are believed to be important for preventing cancer. It may be particularly important for women with high breast density, and may help reduce risk for breast cancer. However, we do not understand what physical activity changes within the body to alter risk of breast cancer. DNA methylation is a biological process that may help explain the relationship between physical activity and cancer risk.

NU 18B05: A Phase II Study of the Determinants of Transdermal Drug Delivery to the Normal and the Radiated BreastThe benefits of anti-estrogen medications taken by mouth as pills (such as tamoxifen) are well-proven to reduce the risk of breast cancer in studies with more than 10 years of follow up. However, because tamoxifen is taken by mouth, it circulates through the whole body and may cause … The benefits of anti-estrogen medications taken by mouth as pills (such as tamoxifen) are well-proven to reduce the risk of breast cancer in studies with more than 10 years of follow up. However, because tamoxifen is taken by mouth, it circulates through the whole body and may cause harmful effects to other organs. When tamoxifen is taken by mouth, it is broken down by the liver into two main active forms, one of which is 4-hydroxytamoxifen, also called 4-OHT. Tamoxifen is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) while 4-OHT is not and is, therefore, considered investigational. However, 4-OHT has anti-cancer activity, and has been developed as a quick drying medicated gel that can be applied to the breast skin. Early results from two previous studies show that 4-OHT gel, when applied to the skin, gets into the breast and blocks breast cancer cell growth as effectively as oral tamoxifen. Unlike oral tamoxifen, the gel is concentrated in the breasts and therefore very little tamoxifen reaches the blood or other parts of the body. Also, some women lack the proteins that are responsible for the break-down of tamoxifen. It is possible that the use of 4-OHT gel will be more effective than oral tamoxifen in these women.

Y90 radioembolization is a non-invasive, out-patient treatment that uses radioactive beads (microspheres), which are tiny glass particles that are loaded with radiation. The beads are injected into an artery of the liver that supplies blood to the tumor(s). The beads flow to the tumor(s) and become trapped inside. The beads release the Y90 radiation inside the tumor(s). Liver resection is used to remove the part of the liver that has the liver tumor(s). It has been shown that Y90 radioembolization can increase the untreated liver’s size and volume. Patients with HCC may be liver resection candidates if they have a large enough liver. The purpose of this research is to determine if there is an ideal Y90 dose to increase liver volume. This research may help determine the best Y90 dose for future patients who need a larger liver to have a liver resection. If you participate in this study, you will have standard-of-care Y90 radioembolization as well as study-specific imaging and two optional liver biopsies. You will participate in the study for up to 3 months. Your health status will continue to be followed for up to 5 years. Patients enrolled in the study will receive up to $195.00 for their participation. Copy Study URL to Clipboard Copy |

The use of the hormonal therapy drug letrozole without chemotherapy may shrink or stabilize cancer in the same way that chemotherapy also does, but without the added side effects of … The purpose of this study is to compare the treatment of carboplatin/paclitaxel and letrozole hormonal therapy to letrozole alone. The use of the hormonal therapy drug letrozole without chemotherapy may shrink or stabilize cancer in the same way that chemotherapy also does, but without the added side effects of chemotherapy. Letrozole is a drug called an aromatase inhibitor, which indirectly stops the body from producing estrogen. This study will investigate if this approach is better, the same, or worse than the usual approach. In order to determine if the use of letrozole alone helps to improve treatment for patients with low-grade serous ovarian or peritoneal cancer compared to combined chemotherapy and letrozole, half of patients in this study will receive letrozole with paclitaxel/carboplatin and the other half will receive letrozole alone. The study doctors will be looking to see if the letrozole alone prolongs the time cancer is in remission, or the duration of time participants are alive after treatment. Letrozole is approved by the FDA for breast cancer, but is not FDA approved for ovarian cancer and is therefore considered experimental in this setting. Participants will get either the combination of paclitaxel and carboplatin for four and a half months followed by letrozole or letrozole alone. Patients who are assigned to letrozole monotherapy will continue taking the letrozole for as long as they are tolerating the drug (i.e., have not developed any allergies or severe side effects with the medication) and have not experienced a recurrence or progression of their disease. After participants finish their study treatment, their doctor and study team will continue to follow their condition and watch for side effects during clinic visits or by phone. Participants will be checked every 3 months for the first 3 years after treatment. After that, this will happen every 6 months for two years. Copy Study URL to Clipboard Copy |

Randomized controlled trial assessing transperineal prostate biopsy to reduce infection complicationsProstate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy in U.S. men. There are approximately 1 million prostate biopsy performed annually in the U.S. Almost all biopsies are performed as an office based procedure in under 15 minutes. The precision of biopsy has improved over the last decade with … Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy in U.S. men. There are approximately 1 million prostate biopsy performed annually in the U.S. Almost all biopsies are performed as an office based procedure in under 15 minutes. The precision of biopsy has improved over the last decade with the introduction of MRI guidance/targeting of suspicious lesions within the prostate. However, significant limitations remain with this approach, including a significantly increasing risk of post-biopsy infection. This arises because more than 97% of all prostate biopsy are performed via a transrectal approach that introduces rectal bacteria with each pass of the biopsy needle into the sterile urinary tract. The current risk of post-transrectal biopsy infection, even with antimicrobial prophylaxis, is high at approximately 7% overall with 3% (30,000 men) requiring hospitalization annually. Transperineal biopsy is an alternate approach that eliminates the direct introduction of bacteria from the rectum to the prostate. This approach, which is perfomed without antimicrobial prophylaxis, instead passes the biopsy needle through the perineal skin and pelvic floor. Transperineal biopsy has not been widely adopted for several reasons. Historically, it has been considered too painful for patients in the clinic and thus was traditionally performed under general anesthesia. The added time, inconvenience and cost has limited its national adoptance. Second, when transrectal biopsy was initially adopted over 40 years ago, antibiotic resistance of rectal flora was not a challenge. Beyond the potential for in-office transperineal biopsy to significantly reduce or eliminate biopsy infections, transperineal biopsy may also improve cancer detection: studies of transperineal biopsy (performed under general anesthesia) demonstrate higher detection rates for prostate cancer, particularly for anterior zone tumors, compared to transrectal biopsy. This is notable, as anterior tumors are difficult to sample with transrectal. Anterior tumors are also twice as likely to occur in African American men. In fact, our research demonstrates that some of the outcomes disparities in African American men may stem from an underdiagnosis of anterior prostate cancers. Although transrectal biopsy is used widely, it is associated with a significant and increasing risk of biopsy infections due to growing antibiotic resistance, highlighting the urgent need for a safer alternative approach to prostate biopsy. The study investigators have refined a transperineal approach under local anesthesia with MRI-targeting/guidance without the need for antibiotic prophylaxis. The investigators hypothesize that transperineal MRI targeted biopsy will: (1) largely eliminate post-biopsy infections and costly hospitalizations for urosepsis; (2) be performed in the office with similar discomfort and non-infectious complications compared to transrectal MRI targeted biopsy; and (3) have significantly better detection of prostate cancer. This multi-center randomized controlled trial will be conducted to evaluate in-office transperineal MRI targeted vs. transrectal MRI targeted biopsy, the current gold standard. This has transformative impact to change current standard of practice. Eligibility CriteriaThis study will include allmen who are recommended to undergo prostate biopsy as part of routine clinicalcare. Copy Study URL to Clipboard Copy |

Serial Monitoring of Circulating Tumor Cells During Radiotherapy for Women with Non-Metastatic Breast Cancer: A Prospective Observational Cohort StudyThe purpose of this research is to determine whether radiotherapy after surgery to remove a breast cancer can help decrease the number of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood. Circulating tumor cells are cancer cells that are shed from the tumor into the blood stream and are believed to … The purpose of this research is to determine whether radiotherapy after surgery to remove a breast cancer can help decrease the number of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood. Circulating tumor cells are cancer cells that are shed from the tumor into the blood stream and are believed to be one of the first indicators that breast cancer cells may remain after surgery. Approximately 20% of women with early-stage breast cancer can be found to have CTCs in a small sample of blood taken several weeks after surgery. Radiotherapy is used after surgery to remove a breast cancer in order to sterilize any cancer cells that may be remaining in the breast. It is not known if radiotherapy can help decrease or eliminate CTCs that are found in the blood. This study aims to find out if testing for CTCs can be clinically useful for guiding radiotherapy treatment decisions. Another aim of this study is to evaluate whether CTCs can be used to measure the effectiveness of radiotherapy in an individual patient. Eligibility Criteria Eligible participants are post-menopausal women that have been diagnosed with non-metastatic, ER-positive and Her2-nonamplifed breast cancer and are planning on receiving radiation and hormone therapy.

(xIRB) NCI CIRB ECOG-ACRIN 8191: Phase III Study of PET-Directed Local or Systemic Therapy Intensification in Prostate Cancer Patients with Post-Prostatectomy Biochemical RecurrenceThe purpose of this study is to compare the usual treatment alone to using PET/CT imaging to look for cancer that has spread to the pelvis plus the usual treatment. We want to see if we can provide a more targeted treatment to this type of cancer by treating … The purpose of this study is to compare the usual treatment alone to using PET/CT imaging to look for cancer that has spread to the pelvis plus the usual treatment. We want to see if we can provide a more targeted treatment to this type of cancer by treating up to 5 specific lesions that are seen on the PET/CT scan. Part of the purpose of this study is also to see whether adding apalutamide and directed radiation works better than the usual approach to help treat prostate cancer that has returned after surgery. 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 study approach increases the time before cancer growth or if the cancer causes major additional symptoms. This study has 4 study groups. Participants will be assigned to 1 of 4 possible treatment groups depending on the results of your PET/CT scan. After you finish your study treatment, your doctor will continue to follow your condition for up to 10 years and watch you for side effects and monitor the progression of your cancer. Group 1 (Negative for Extra Pelvic-Metastases) If you are in this group, it means your PET/CT scan did not show evidence that your cancer has spread to outside of the pelvis. You will get the usual appropriate care that is used to treat this type of cancer, the planned standard of care treatment with radiation therapy (SOC RT) and STAD for 6 months. Group 2 (Negative for Extra Pelvic-Metastases) If you are in this group, it means your PET/CT scan did not show evidence that your cancer has spread to areas outside of the pelvis. You will get a study treatment, planned SOC RT + STAD + apalutamide for 6 months. Group 3 (Positive for Extra Pelvic-Metastases) If you are in this group, it means that your cancer has spread to areas outside of your pelvis. You will get planned SOC RT + STAD + apalutamide for 6 months. Group 4 (Positive for Extra Pelvic-Metastases) If you are in this group, your cancer has spread to areas outside of your pelvis. You will get a planned SOC RT + STAD + apalutamide for 6 months + directed radiation therapy to where the cancer has spread. Each patient will undergo another (or additional) PET/CT scan, which will take place about one year after starting treatment or if clinically necessary at an earlier time point.

Testing Atorvastatin to Lower Colon Cancer Risk in Longstanding Ulcerative ColitisPatients with ulcerative colitis are at higher than average risk of developing cancer of the large intestine (bowel) or colorectal cancer. Doctors at Northwestern Medicine are doing this study to find out if taking the drug atorvastatin might decrease that risk. We are studying atorvastatin because research suggests that it … Patients with ulcerative colitis are at higher than average risk of developing cancer of the large intestine (bowel) or colorectal cancer. Doctors at Northwestern Medicine are doing this study to find out if taking the drug atorvastatin might decrease that risk. We are studying atorvastatin because research suggests that it may interfere with cancer development. Atorvastatin is a cholesterol-lowering drug used to treat cardiovascular disease.
Better ways to control ulcerative colitis and more knowledge about how to prevent colon cancer are needed. The usual approach for ulcerative colitis patients is to be followed closely by their doctor to watch for the development of cancer, usually with yearly colonoscopy. Drugs proven to help control inflammation (swelling, tenderness, irritation, and abnormal changes) in the colon and a special diet are usually given to ulcerative colitis patients with active inflammation. In this study, you will receive either 20 mg of atorvastatin, or placebo pills, by mouth once a day for up to one year, in addition to your standard of care. This will allow researchers to see if participants taking atorvastatin show changes in their colon, which may indicate a lower risk of developing cancer. After one year of treatment with either atorvastatin or placebo, your study doctor will continue to follow your condition and watch you for side effects for up to 21 days. You should continue your routine yearly surveillance colonoscopy examination. Eligibility Criteria · Are between 18 and 70 years old · Have chronic ulcerative colitis (diagnosed at least 8 years ago) Copy Study URL to Clipboard Copy |
Megestrol Acetate Compared With Megestrol Acetate and Metformin to Prevent Endometrial CancerEndometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN), also known as Complex Atypical Hyperplasia (CAH), is a change in the lining of the uterus (also called the endometrium) that can lead to cancer of the uterus. Uterine/endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer and its incidence is increasing rapidly.The usual approach … Endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN), also known as Complex Atypical Hyperplasia (CAH), is a change in the lining of the uterus (also called the endometrium) that can lead to cancer of the uterus. Uterine/endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer and its incidence is increasing rapidly. The usual approach for women diagnosed with EIN/CAH is surgical - hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) without any prior medical treatment with pills. But some women may want to avoid hysterectomy because they want to have children, or because there are health risks to major surgery. We are doing this study to see if it is possible to treat EIN by changing the lining of the uterus at the cellular level and prevent it from turning into uterine cancer, without doing a hysterectomy. Currently, a drug called megestrol acetate, also called megace, can be used for treatment of EIN without surgery. Megestrol acetate is a synthetic version of the human hormone progesterone. It treats breast cancer and endometrial cancer by affecting female hormones involved in cancer growth. However, it has a high failure rate in preventing cancer growth from EIN, and hysterectomy is still needed for most women. The goal of this study is to improve the results of megestrol acetate treatment, by combining it with an anti-diabetes drug called metformin. Although research suggests that metformin may have anti-cancer properties, it has not yet been proven to be safe and effective to treat EIN. We will compare the effectiveness of megestrol acetate alone with the combination of megestrol acetate and metformin in reducing the growth of EIN. If we find that the combination of megestrol acetate with metformin is better at reducing EIN growth than megestrol acetate alone, we will plan further research with this combination to try and prevent EIN from turning into uterine/endometrial cancer. This study is looking for volunteers who have been diagnosed with EIN and are planning a hysterectomy or progestin intrauterine device (IUD) placement. We will enroll 50 participants at institutions across the country. Eligibility Criteria You may be eligible if:

This study is being done to answer the following questions: If you have high risk prostate cancer, a low gene risk score and plan to receive radiation therapy, is a shorter hormone … Participants ages 18 years or older who have high-risk prostate cancer will be enrolled into this study.
This study is being done to answer the following questions:
If you have high risk prostate cancer, a low gene risk score and plan to receive radiation therapy, is a shorter hormone therapy treatment as effective at controlling your cancer compared to the usual 24 month hormone therapy treatment?
If you have high risk prostate cancer, a high gene risk score and plan to receive radiation therapy, does adding two new hormone therapy drugs to the usual treatment increase the length of time without your prostate cancer spreading as compared to the usual treatment?
The study doctors want to find out if these approaches are better, similar, or worse than the usual approach for your type of prostate cancer.
This study has 4 study groups.
If you have a low Decipher risk score, you will be randomly assigned to one of these two study groups:
· Group 1: If you are in this group, you will get the usual approach, hormone therapy and radiation therapy, used to treat this type of cancer.
· Group 2: If you are in this group, you will get the usual radiation treatment and a shorter period of hormone therapy used to treat this type of cancer.
If you have a high Decipher risk score and/or positive pelvic node(s), you will be randomly assigned to one of these two study groups:
· Group 3: If you are in this group, you will get the usual approach, hormone therapy and radiation therapy, used to treat this type of cancer.
· Group 4: If you are in this group, you will get study drugs called apalutamide and abiraterone acetate with prednisone plus the usual approach (hormone therapy and radiation therapy) used to treat this type of cancer.
After you finish your study treatment, your doctor will continue to follow your condition for at least annually and watch you for side effects. Copy Study URL to Clipboard Copy |
A multi-center single arm Phase II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of genetically engineered autologous cells expressing anti-CD20 and anti-CD19 specific chimeric antigen receptor in subjects with relapsed and/or refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL)The purpose of this research study is to evaluate an investigational cell and gene treatment called MB-CART2019.1 that may help to eliminate cancer cells in subjects who have relapsed (responded to treatment but then returns) and/or refractory (has not responded to initial treatment) DLBCL. In order to … The purpose of this research study is to evaluate an investigational cell and gene treatment called MB-CART2019.1 that may help to eliminate cancer cells in subjects who have relapsed (responded to treatment but then returns) and/or refractory (has not responded to initial treatment) DLBCL. In order to produce the investigational treatment, white blood cells (T-cells) will be collected at the study center by a process called leukapheresis.
Participation in this study is for up to two years, and additionally subjects must enroll in the separate Gene Therapy Long-Term Follow Up protocol for 13 years (total study participation to equal up to 15 years). The T‑cells (obtained from blood) will be modified in order for them to express molecules called chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) on their surfaces. When the modified cells, called CAR T‑cells, are reinfused into the body, the new receptors will enable them to bind onto specific antigens on cancer cells and by doing so destroy them. The CAR T-cells act as a “living drug” against your cancer cells.
Before your cells are reinfused, participants will first receive a conditioning regimen consisting of two chemotherapy drugs, fludarabine and cyclophosphamide. The conditioning regimen helps make room in the bone marrow for new blood stem cells to grow, and helps prevent rejection of the transplanted cells, as well as helps kill any cancer cells that are in the body.

This study has two phases. Phase 1 and Phase 2.
The purpose of Phase 1 is to test the safety of the study drug, tazemetostat, in combination with the usual treatment, dabrafenib and trametinib. This study tests different doses of tazemetostat with the usual dose of dabrafenib and trametinib to see which dose of tazemetostat is safest for people. Tazmetostatis not approved by the FDA for treatment of this type of cancer.
All people taking part in this study will get the same dose of the usual intervention, dabrafenib and trametinib. However, people in this study will get different doses of the study drug, tazemetostat. Once the highest safe dose is found, phase 1 of the study is stopped.
The purpose of Phase II is to compare the combination of tazemetostat, dabrafenib, and trametinib to tazemetostat alone. This study will help the study doctors find out if this different approach is better, the same, or worse than the usual approach. Another purpose of this study is for the study doctors to learn if a genetic test is helpful to decide if tazemetostat is more effective in patients whose cancer has an abnormal EZH2 gene. The combination of tazemetostat, trametinib, and dabrafenib, has not been administered together in patients and the combination of these agents are not FDA approved for the treatment of this type of cancer.
Participants who take part in this study will either get a combination of usual approach of dabrafenib and trametinib, and the study drug, tazemetostat or will get the study drug, tazemetostat alone, until their disease gets worse or the side effects become too severe.

If you are undergoing breast conservation surgery and meet all criteria, the 3D imaging device, VSI, will be used to guide and assist the surgeon in identifying and removing all positive margins while in the operating room. The lumpectomy procedure will be performed per standard practice. If eligible, the lumpectomy procedure will be performed per standard practice. Promptly after excision, the tumor specimen will be imaged using the VSI device to take additional 3D images of the removed tissue during the standard of care surgery.
During surgery, after the tumor has been removed, the investigators will use the VSI device to identify the margins on the main sample. The surgeon will use this information to remove additional tissue from the cavity. The surgeon will then complete the standard of care surgery according to standard of care practices which may include additional shaves of the remaining issue. The amount of tissue removed as a result of VSI-directed shaving will not be more than the amount that your surgeon would normally remove as part of standard of care.
Participants will be asked to come for a post-operative visit as per standard of care and will be followed-up up to 2 months after surgery.

Thus, there is need to enhanceefficacy of CAR T-cell therapy in lymphoma. Lymphoma cells are also known to make a protein called Burton’s TyrosineKinase (“BTK” ), that helps in the proliferation of these cancers. Zanubrutinib is targeted drug that is FDAapproved for a related lymphoma called “Mantel Cell Lymphoma” ( MCL). It isknown to inhibit the BTK protein ( BTK inhibitor ) and can enhance T cell function. Thus, it is expected that it couldenhance CAR T-cell therapy.

The collected blood samples will be used for research projects to study the abnormal plasma cells and compare the results to current tests being done. This will provide an opportunity to better understand how a patient is responding to treatment and to assess the stage of the patient’s disease. This study will use different tests that are not FDA approved. This test is being studied as a less invasive way to monitor amount of disease in a patient (versus invasive bone marrow biopsy). Current blood tests show the levels of the product of the cancer cell - not the levels of the cells themselves. Sometimes the cancer cells do not make this product and can therefore go undetected in standard tests. This study will show the number of cells. These tests will help identify, and analyze circulating plasma cells (CPCs), which are cells that have escaped into the bloodstream (a characteristic of plasma cell disorders). We will also look at any plasma cell components, such as genes in the DNA and RNA. Part of your samples will be used for Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to evaluate any changes in your genes. NGS is a useful tool that determines the sequence of your DNA. Eligibility Criteria You may be eligible for this research study if you have a plasma cell disorder.

Cancer prevention strategies for people with LS are therefore urgently needed. Using vaccines to train the body’s own immune system to prevent polyps and cancers is a new approach that we plan to test in patients with LS. We are asking you to take part in this research study because you have been diagnosed with Lynch syndrome and your doctor has previously found polyps or cancer in your colon or rectum. This study is being done to find out if we can lower your chance of getting colon cancer and other Lynch cancers by giving you three vaccines, an approach called Tri-Ad5, in combination with an injectable immune-enhancer protein called N-803. The usual approach for patients with Lynch syndrome is to be followed closely by their doctor with regular colonoscopies, pelvic imaging (ultrasounds), urine tests, computerized tomography scans (CT scans), and skin examinations to watch for the development of cancer. Removal of the colon or uterus before cancer develops is also part of the usual approach. We are doing this study because we want to find out if the vaccines we are testing will be effective at preventing colon polyps and cancers of the colon and other organs. The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effects of the Tri-Ad5 vaccines alone, or in combination with N-803, versus placebo on the risk of developing colon and other cancers in patients with Lynch syndrome. The Tri-Ad5 vaccines and N-803 are not FDA-approved. This study is looking for volunteers who have been diagnosed with Lynch syndrome. We will enroll 158 participants at institutions across the country. Eligibility Criteria You may be eligible if:

We are doing this study because we want to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for your T-ALL. The usual approach is defined as care most people get for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). The usual approach for patients who are not in a study is treatment with chemotherapy, and possibly stem cell transplant. Sometimes, combinations of these treatments are used. Currently there is no SOC treatment for MRD positive T ALL. Many patients if eligible would undergo stem cell transplant, but still have a high risk for T ALL relapse if MRD positive The purpose of this study is to test the good and bad effects of the drug called daratumumab and hyaluronidase. Daratumumab and hyaluronidase could be effective in preventing your cancer from returning, but it could also cause side effects. The study doctors hope to learn if the study drug will be effective in treating patients with MRD positive T-ALL and preventing reoccurrence of your disease. Eligibility Criteria

Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Treatment for PMBCL involves chemotherapy combined with an immunotherapy called rituximab. Chemotherapy drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody. It binds to a protein called CD20, which is found on B cells (a type of white blood cell) and some types of cancer cells.

(xIRB NCI CIRB) NRG GY026: A Phase II/III Study of Paclitaxel/Carboplatin Alone or Combined with Either Trastuzumab and Hyaluronidase-oysk (HERCEPTIN HYLECTA) or Pertuzumab, Trastuzumab, and Hyaluronidase-zzxf (PHESGO) in HER2 Positive, Stage I-IV Endometrial Serous Carcinoma or CarcinosarcomaThis phase II/III trial tests whether adding trastuzumab and hyaluronidase-oysk (Herceptin HylectaTM) or pertuzumab, trastuzumab and hyaluronidase-zzxf (PhesgoTM) to the usual chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin) works to shrink tumors in patients with HER2 positive endometrial serous carcinoma or carcinosarcoma. Trastuzumab and pertuzumab are monoclonal antibodies and forms … This phase II/III trial tests whether adding trastuzumab and hyaluronidase-oysk (Herceptin HylectaTM) or pertuzumab, trastuzumab and hyaluronidase-zzxf (PhesgoTM) to the usual chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin) works to shrink tumors in patients with HER2 positive endometrial serous carcinoma or carcinosarcoma. Trastuzumab and pertuzumab are monoclonal antibodies and forms of targeted therapy that attach to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of tumor cells, known as HER2 receptors. When trastuzumab or pertuzumab attach to HER2 receptors, the signals that tell the cells to grow are blocked and the tumor cell may be marked for destruction by the body's immune system. Hyaluronidase is an endoglycosidase. It helps to keep pertuzumab and trastuzumab in the body longer, so that these medications will have a greater effect. Hyaluronidase also allows trastuzumab and trastuzumab/pertuzumab to be given by injection under the skin and shortens their administration time compared to trastuzumab or pertuzumab alone. Paclitaxel is a taxane and in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It stops cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Giving Herceptin Hylecta or Phesgo in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin may shrink the tumor and prevent the cancer from coming back in patients with HER2 positive endometrial serous carcinoma or carcinosarcoma.

Another aim of this study is to determine … This phase II trial tests whether ZEN003694 (ZEN-3694) in combination with talazoparib works to shrink tumors in patients with solid tumors that are unlikely to be cured or controlled with treatment and may have spread to other parts of the body. Another aim of this study is to determine if and how patients' genes influence their response to this specific drug combination. ZEN-3694 is an inhibitor of a family of proteins called the bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET). It may prevent the growth of tumor cells that overproduce BET protein. Talazoparib is an inhibitor of PARP, an enzyme that helps repair deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) when it becomes damaged. It is the accumulation of DNA damage which causes a cell to change into a cancerous cell. Combination therapy with ZEN-3694 and talazoparib may be effective at slowing or stopping tumor growth in patients with advanced cancer. Copy Study URL to Clipboard Copy |
NU 22I05Colon and rectal cancer are cancers that involve the lowest part of the digestive system: the large intestine and the rectum. A colorectal cancer that has already spread to distant sites by the time it is diagnosed is referred to as metastatic (stage IV) colorectal cancer (CRC). In colorectal cancer, … Colon and rectal cancer are cancers that involve the lowest part of the digestive system: the large intestine and the rectum. A colorectal cancer that has already spread to distant sites by the time it is diagnosed is referred to as metastatic (stage IV) colorectal cancer (CRC). In colorectal cancer, mutations in the BRAF gene are present in approximately 10% of patients with metastatic disease. Outcomes in these patients are poor relative to patients with non-BRAF mutated colon cancer. Encorafenib and cetuximab are standard of care therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) patients who have disease progression (worsening of disease) after a previous line of therapy. Addition of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) with encorafenib has shown to overcome the tumor’s resistance to encorafenib in laboratory studies. This study examines adding hydroxychloroquine to encorafenib and cetuximab in patients with worsening metastatic colon cancer on previous therapy. HCQ is an oral drug which is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for other indications such as for treatment of uncomplicated malaria, preventive against malaria in select geographic regions, and for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and chronic discoid lupus erythematosus in adults. It is not currently FDA approved for the indication to be investigated in this study. As such, hydroxychloroquine will be the drug to be investigated (investigational drug) in this study in combination with encorafenib and cetuximab. Another drug named Panitumumab is also FDA approved for treatment of metastatic CRC in combination with other standard therapy. Panitumumab may also be used instead of Cetuximab in the above-mentioned treatment combination, depending on the choice of your doctor. Copy Study URL to Clipboard Copy |

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 CancerThis phase II/III trial compares the addition of radiation therapy to the usual treatment (immunotherapy with or without chemotherapy) versus (vs.) usual treatment alone in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (advanced) or has spread to other places … This phase II/III trial compares the addition of radiation therapy to the usual treatment (immunotherapy with or without chemotherapy) versus (vs.) usual treatment alone in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (advanced) or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) whose tumor is also negative for a molecular marker called PD-L1. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a type of radiation therapy that uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. This method uses special equipment to position a patient and precisely deliver radiation to tumors with fewer doses over a shorter period and may cause less damage to normal tissue than conventional radiation therapy. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, ipilimumab and pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as carboplatin, pemetrexed, paclitaxel and nab-paclitaxel, 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. The addition of radiation therapy to usual treatment may stop the cancer from growing and increase the life of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who are PD-L1 negative. Eligibility Criteria Some of the eligibility criteria include:
· Participants must have a diagnosis of stage IV NSCLC · Participants must be 18 or older · No prior systemic chemotherapy or immunotherapy for advanced NSCLC No prior treatment with checkpoint inhibitors for metastatic lung cancer Location(s) Copy Study URL to Clipboard Copy |

Testosterone helps prostate cancer to grow. So the most common way to control testosterone levels in the body is to block the gland that stimulates the testosterone production. High risk BCR refers to a stage of prostate cancer where the rise in Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) levels to a certain threshold and within a specified period of time, during or following prostate cancer local therapies. This means that after local therapies with curative intent (surgery or radiotherapy) of prostate cancer, some cancer cells may have survived and are producing PSA. PSA is a protein that is produced by both cancerous and noncancerous prostate cells.
ADT is a systemic therapy called hormone therapy which reduces the androgen hormone (testosterone) levels to prevent prostate cancer cells from growing. ADT is frequently given with radiation therapy.
This study is being done to learn more about a new drug called darolutamide given in combination with ADT for your disease stage. Eligibility Criteria Inclusion Criteria:

Cancer therapy, as well as underlying cancer, cause accelerated aging and toxicity, leaving women vulnerable to functional decline, increased frailty, decreased health related quality of life, and ultimately, less systemic therapy completion and inferior cancer survival. Physical activity has been shown to improve functional health, improve quality of life, slow aging, and decrease rates of frailty. Engaging in patient tailored physical activity may safely and gradually increase physical activity in gynecologic cancer patients and lead to improved health and survival among older women with gynecologic cancers who are undergoing systemic treatment.

SWOG 2302: A Prospective Randomized Study of Ramucirumab plus Pembrolizumab versus Standard of Care for Participants Previously Treated with Immunotherapy for Stage IV or Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.This phase III trial compares the effect of the combination of ramucirumab and pembrolizumab versus standard of care chemotherapy for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer that is stage IV or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Ramucirumab is a monoclonal antibody that may … This phase III trial compares the effect of the combination of ramucirumab and pembrolizumab versus standard of care chemotherapy for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer that is stage IV or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Ramucirumab is a monoclonal antibody that may prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs 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. This trial may help doctors find out if giving ramucirumab with pembrolizumab is more effective at treating patients with stage IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer than standard chemotherapy.

Alliance A042001, A Randomized Phase II Study Comparing Inotuzumab Plus Chemotherapy versus Standard Chemotherapy in Older Adults with Philadelphia-Chromosome-Negative B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic LeukemiaThis phase II trial compares the combination of inotuzumab ozogamicin and chemotherapy to the usual chemotherapy in treating patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody, called inotuzumab, linked to a drug called CalichDMH. Inotuzumab is a form of targeted … This phase II trial compares the combination of inotuzumab ozogamicin and chemotherapy to the usual chemotherapy in treating patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody, called inotuzumab, linked to a drug called CalichDMH. Inotuzumab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as CD22 receptors, and delivers CalichDMH to kill them. Chemotherapy drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing them, stopping them from dividing, or spreading. Giving inotuzumab ozogamicin with chemotherapy may help shrink cancer and stop it from returning. The study subjects will either receive inotuzumab with lower doses of usual chemotherapy or get the usual chemotherapy treatment. In either treatment arm, study participants will receive two or more months (cycles) of more intensive chemotherapy. Both groups will continue with lower doses of chemotherapy for up to two years.

The management of both advanced cancers is a combination of chemotherapy and surgery. Standard of care chemotherapeutic treatment for uterine and ovarian cancers is toxic and severely disruptive to the patient's quality of life with the potential for devastating short and long-term side effects. The role of fasting and ketogenic diets has been evaluated in a mixed cancer population and previously shown to be safe. There is no data specifically addressing the impact of a fasting diet regimen on side effects of chemotherapy during treatment for ovarian and endometrial cancers in the front-line setting. The information gathered from this study will inform future trials about the role of time-restricted eating and its impact on side-effects associated with chemotherapy as well as its role in improvement of quality of life for women afflicted with these debilitating diseases.

Testing the effectiveness of an anti-cancer drug, triapine, when used with targeted radiation-based treatment (Lutetium Lu 177 Dotatate), compared to Lutetium Lu 177 Dotatate alone for metastatic neuroendocrine tumorsThis phase II trial compares the effect of adding triapine to lutetium Lu 177 dotatate versus lutetium Lu 177 dotatate alone (standard therapy) in shrinking tumors or slowing tumor growth in patients with neuroendocrine tumors that have spread from where they first started (primary site) to other places in the … This phase II trial compares the effect of adding triapine to lutetium Lu 177 dotatate versus lutetium Lu 177 dotatate alone (standard therapy) in shrinking tumors or slowing tumor growth in patients with neuroendocrine tumors that have spread from where they first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Triapine may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis and cell growth. Lutetium Lu 177 dotate is a radioactive drug. It binds to a protein called somatostatin receptor, which is found on some neuroendocrine tumor cells. Lutetium Lu 177 dotatate builds up in these cells and gives off radiation that may kill them. It is a type of radio-conjugate and a type of somatostatin analog. Giving triapine in combination with lutetium Lu 177 dotatate may be more effective at shrinking tumors or slowing tumor growth in patients with metastatic neuroendocrine tumors than the standard therapy of lutetium Lu 177 dotatate alone. Study participants will be assigned to receive lutetium Lu 177 dotatate alone or lutetium Lu 177 dotatate and triapine. Note: This is only a partial description of the study.

(xIRB NCI CIRB) CCTG NE1: NET RETREAT: A Phase II Study of 177 Lutetium-DOTATATE Retreatment vs. Everolimus in Metastatic/Unresectable Midgut NETThis phase II trial compares the effect of retreatment with 177Lu-DOTATATE peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) to the usual approach of treatment with everolimus in patients who have previously received 177Lu-DOTATATE for midgut neuroendocrine tumor (NET) that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other … This phase II trial compares the effect of retreatment with 177Lu-DOTATATE peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) to the usual approach of treatment with everolimus in patients who have previously received 177Lu-DOTATATE for midgut neuroendocrine tumor (NET) that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) and that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). PRRT is a type of radiation therapy for which a radioactive chemical is linked to a peptide (small protein) that targets cancer cells. When this radioactive peptide is injected into the body, it binds to a specific receptor found on some cancer cells. The radioactive peptide builds up in these cells and helps kill the cancer cells without harming normal cells. In this trial 177Lu-DOTATATE is used for PRRT. 177Lu-DOTATATE PRRT may increase the length of time until the midgut NET worsens compared to the usual approach. Everolimus is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It is also a type of angiogenesis inhibitor. Everolimus works by stopping cancer cells from reproducing and by decreasing the blood supply to the cancer cells. Retreating with 177Lu-DOTATATE may work better than everolimus in shrinking or stabilizing tumor in patients with metastatic and unresectable NET who were previously treated with 177Lu-DOTATATE.

We propose a phase II trial to assess the efficacy and safety of PET-directed PEM monotherapy for 6 cycles followed by abbreviated AVD therapy in newly diagnosed cHL, early unfavorable and advanced stages. We anticipate that six cycles of PEM upfront (three more cycles than in the NU 16H08 study) will increase the rate of complete metabolic response (CMR) to PEM monotherapy and allow the majority of patients to receive an abbreviated course of AVD chemotherapy with clinical outcomes similar to those seen in NU 16H08. We thereby anticipate shifting from chemotherapy-based strategies for cHL to predominantly immunotherapy, with the ultimate goal of eliminating chemotherapy altogether.

The other aim of this trial is to compare using atezolizumab just at the beginning of treatment versus continuing it beyond the initial treatment. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer and interfere with tumor cells' ability to grow and spread. Cisplatin and carboplatin are in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds that work by killing, stopping, or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair and may kill cancer cells. Giving atezolizumab in combination with a platinum drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide may work better in treating patients with poorly differentiated extrapulmonary neuroendocrine cancer compared to standard therapy with a platinum drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide alone. The study has three arms to which you could be randomly assigned: 1) atezolizumab, platinum drug, etoposide; 2) atezolizumab, platinum drug, etoposide, observation; 3) platinum drug, etoposide, observation.

SBRT … This phase III trial compares the effect of adding stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) to standard treatment (image guided radiation therapy [IGRT] and chemotherapy followed by immunotherapy with durvalumab) versus standard treatment alone in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be treated by surgery (inoperable). SBRT uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. IGRT is a type of radiation that uses a computer to create picture of the tumor, to help guide the radiation beam during therapy, making it more accurate and causing less damage to healthy tissue. Standard chemotherapy used in this trial consists of combinations of the following drugs: cisplatin, carboplatin, paclitaxel, pemetrexed, and etoposide. Cisplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Paclitaxel is in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It works by stopping the growth and spread of tumor cells. Pemetrexed is in a class of medications called antifolate antineoplastic agents. It works by blocking the action of a certain substance in the body that may help tumor cells multiply. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair and may kill tumor cells. Immunotherapy with durvalumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Adding SBRT to the standard treatment of IGRT with chemotherapy and immunotherapy may be more effective at treating patients with inoperable non-small cell lung cancer than giving the standard treatment alone. Eligibility Criteria Some of the eligibility criteria include:
· Participants must have a diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to lymph nodes in chest and is not able to be treated by surgery. · Participants must be 18 or older Location(s) Copy Study URL to Clipboard Copy |

Estrogen receptor-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer is the most prevalent breast cancer subtype. Endocrine therapy is the mainstay of treatment; however, due to the varied nature of the disease, development of resistance to this therapeutic approach is very common in the metastatic setting. The purpose of this study is to see whether the effectiveness of elacestrant can be enhanced by combining it with a targeted agent such as a CDK4/6 inhibitor to treat patients with ER+/HER2- or metastatic breast cancer with prior exposure to a CDK4/6 inhibitor.

SOAR - Phase III Randomized Trial of Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SAbR) for Oligometastatic Advanced Renal CarcinomaThis study is being done to answer the following question: For kidney cancer patients with limited (2-5) number of metastases like yourself, 1) is radiation therapy equal or better when compared to systemic therapy and 2) can stereotactic ablative radiation have less side effects when compared to systemic therapy. … This study is being done to answer the following question: For kidney cancer patients with limited (2-5) number of metastases like yourself, 1) is radiation therapy equal or better when compared to systemic therapy and 2) can stereotactic ablative radiation have less side effects when compared to systemic therapy. We are doing this study because we want to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for your kidney cancer. The usual approach is defined as care most people get for metastatic kidney cancer. If you decide to take part in this clinical trial, you will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups: group 1 or group 2. If you are assigned to group 1, you will receive standard systemic therapy (including Immunotherapy and small molecular inhibitor therapies listed above either by themselves or in combination). If you are assigned to group 2, you will first receive stereotactic ablative radiation to metastatic sites and repeated stereotactic ablative radiation to additional sites until additional radiation is not possible, at which time you will receive standard systemic therapy. Stereotactic ablative” radiotherapy is a standard, non-experimental, way of giving radiotherapy that is very precisely localized and delivered and is given with larger daily doses of radiation than is given using non stereotactic approaches. Given this way radiotherapy treatments are usually more powerful and effective at shrinking and/or ablating (killing) individual spots of cancer. radiation for patients in group 2 may not be possible due to many reasons such as the development of multiple new sites of metastasis or the development of a metastasis at a location not treatable by focused radiation. After you finish your study treatment, your doctor will continue to follow your condition for up to 10 years with a phone call every three months. Eligibility Criteria Participants must have metastatic kidney cancer with a limited number of metastatic lesions. Location(s) Copy Study URL to Clipboard Copy |

The purpose of this study is to assess adverse events and change in disease activity when ABBV-400 is given in combination with Fluorouracil, Folinic Acid, and Bevacizumab to adult participants to treat unresctable metastatic colorectal cancer. ABBV-400 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer. Fluorouracil, folinic acid, and bevacizumab is an drug approved for the treatment of unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer. Study doctors put the participants in groups called treatment arms. Each treatment arm receives a different dose of ABBV-400 in combination with fluorouracil, folinic acid, and bevacizumab (FFB) in escalating doses on two different schedules (safety lead in), followed by low or high doses of ABBV-400 in combination with FFB or fluorouracil, folinic acid, irinotecan, and bevacizumab (standard of care [SOC]) [dose optimization] on its own. Approximately 206 adult participants with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer will be enrolled in the study in 65 sites worldwide. In the safety lead in, participants will receive escalating intravenous (IV) ABBV-400 in combination with IV FFB on two different schedules. During the dose optimization participants will receive IV ABBV-400 in combination with FFB at low or high doses determined in the safety lead in on two different dosing schedules. The dose optimization arm will also include a comparator cohort in which participants will receive SOC. The study will run for a duration of approximately 3 years. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at an approved institution (hospital or clinic). The effect of the treatment will be frequently checked by medical assessments, blood tests, questionnaires and side effects

Testing the role of DNA released from tumor cells into the blood in guiding the use of immunotherapy after surgical removal of the bladder for bladder cancer treatment.This phase II/III trial tests the role of DNA released from tumor cells into the blood in guiding the use of immunotherapy (nivolumab alone or with relatlimab) after surgical removal of the bladder for bladder cancer treatment. DNA is material found inside all of our cells that acts as … This phase II/III trial tests the role of DNA released from tumor cells into the blood in guiding the use of immunotherapy (nivolumab alone or with relatlimab) after surgical removal of the bladder for bladder cancer treatment. DNA is material found inside all of our cells that acts as a blueprint for how cells function. Tumor cells often have abnormal DNA that looks different than DNA in normal cells. A new test called Signatera has been developed that can detect bladder cancer DNA in the blood which might indicate the presence of bladder tumor cells somewhere in the body. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Relatlimab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. This trial may help doctors determine if the Signatera test can better identify which patients need an additional treatment with immunotherapy to help prevent bladder cancer from coming back after surgery.

(xIRB) NCI CIRB COG ACCL1931: A Randomized Trial of Levocarnitine Prophylaxis to Prevent Asparaginase-Associated Hepatotoxicity in Adolescents and Young Adults Receiving Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia TherapyThis phase III trial compares the effect of adding levocarnitine to standard chemotherapy vs. standard chemotherapy alone in protecting the liver in patients with leukemia or lymphoma. Asparaginase is part of the standard of care chemotherapy for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), lymphoblastic lymphoma (LL), and mixed phenotype … This phase III trial compares the effect of adding levocarnitine to standard chemotherapy vs. standard chemotherapy alone in protecting the liver in patients with leukemia or lymphoma. Asparaginase is part of the standard of care chemotherapy for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), lymphoblastic lymphoma (LL), and mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL). However, in adolescent and young adults (AYA) ages 15-39 years, liver toxicity from asparaginase is common and often prevents delivery of planned chemotherapy, thereby potentially compromising outcomes. Some groups of people may also be at higher risk for liver damage due to the presence of fat in the liver even before starting chemotherapy. Patients who are of Japanese descent, Native Hawaiian, Hispanic or Latinx may be at greater risk for liver damage from chemotherapy for this reason. Carnitine is a naturally occurring nutrient that is part of a typical diet and is also made by the body. Carnitine is necessary for metabolism and its deficiency or absence is associated with liver and other organ damage. Levocarnitine is a drug used to provide extra carnitine. Laboratory and real-world usage of the dietary supplement levocarnitine suggests its potential to prevent or reduce liver toxicity from asparaginase. The overall goal of this study is to determine whether adding levocarnitine to standard of care chemotherapy will reduce the chance of developing severe liver damage from asparaginase chemotherapy in ALL, LL and/or MPAL patients.

Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system … This phase III trial compares the addition of an immunotherapy drug (durvalumab) to usual chemotherapy versus usual chemotherapy alone in treating patients with MammaPrint Ultrahigh (MP2) stage II-III hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer. 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. Chemotherapy drugs, such as paclitaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide 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. There is some evidence from previous clinical trials that people who have a MammaPrint Ultrahigh Risk result may be more likely to respond to chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Adding durvalumab to usual chemotherapy may be able to prevent the cancer from returning for patients with MP2 stage II-III hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer. Eligibility Criteria Some of the eligibility criteria include:
· Participants must have a diagnosis of stage II-III hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer · Participants must be 18 or older

(xIRB) NCI CIRB SWOG 1900K: A Randomized Phase II Study of Tepotinib with or Without Ramucirumab in Participants with MET Exon 14 Skipping Positive Stage IV or Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (LUNG-MAP SUB-STUDY)This phase II Expanded Lung-MAP treatment trial tests tepotinib with or without ramucirumab for the treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (stage IV) or that has come back after … This phase II Expanded Lung-MAP treatment trial tests tepotinib with or without ramucirumab for the treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (stage IV) or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Tepotinib is used in patients whose cancer has a mutated (changed) form of a gene called MET. It is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of the abnormal MET protein that signals tumor cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of tumor cells. Ramucirumab is a monoclonal antibody that may prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. Giving tepotinib with ramucirumab may lower the chance of the cancer from growing or spreading in patients with stage IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. Copy Study URL to Clipboard Copy |

Ipatasertib may stop the growth of tumor cells and may kill them by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Megestrol acetate lowers the amount of estrogen and also blocks the use of estrogen made by the body. This may help stop the growth of tumor cells that need estrogen to grow. The combination of ipatasertib and megestrol acetate may be more effective in treating endometrial cancer than megestrol acetate alone. Eligibility Criteria · Participants must have a diagnosis of grade 1 or 2 recurrent or metastatic endometrioid endometrial cancer · Participants must be 18 or older

Doxorubicin is in a class of medications called anthracyclines. Doxorubicin damages the cell's DNA and may kill tumor cells. It also blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Adding immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) to the standard chemotherapy (doxorubicin) may help patients with metastatic or unresectable UPS or a related poorly differentiated sarcoma live longer without having disease progression.

The EGFR protein is involved in … This phase III trial compares the effect of bevacizumab and osimertinib combination vs. osimertinib alone for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer that has spread outside of the lungs (stage IIIB-IV) and has a change (mutation) in a gene called EGFR. The EGFR protein is involved in cell signaling pathways that control cell division and survival. Sometimes, mutations in the EGFR gene cause EGFR proteins to be made in higher than normal amounts on some types of cancer cells. This causes cancer cells to divide more rapidly. Osimertinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking EGFR that is needed for cell growth in this type of cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving osimertinib with bevacizumab may control cancer for longer and help patients live longer as compared to osimertinib alone. Note: This is only a partial description of the study. Please contact the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University if you are interested in the trial. Eligibility Criteria Some of the eligibility criteria include: · Participants must have a diagnosis of non-small cell metastatic EGFR-mutant lung cancer · Participants must be 18 or older Note: This is only a partial list of eligibility criteria.

For patients with brain metastases from small-cell lung cancer, WBRT avoids the memory zone in the brain called the hippocampus along with a drug that helps preserve memory and thinking called memantine. At the time of the development of this study, there have been no randomized clinical trials comparing WBRT and SRS approaches in patients with small-cell lung cancer. We are doing this study because we want to find out if the SRS approach is better. Eligibility Criteria Some of the eligibility criteria include:
