Clinical trials

The purpose of this study is to find out whether a Hospital-at-Home (HaH) program is a more efficient way to monitor people's health after receiving tarlatamab than monitoring in the hospital (inpatient).

The researchers are doing this study to see if people with unexplained weight loss who have lung cancer screening are more likely to have or develop lung cancer than people without unexplained weight loss. The lung cancer screening will involve use of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT), a CT scan that gives off very low doses of radiation and can make detailed pictures of the lungs to help find tumors. The study researchers will also analyze participants' blood samples to determine if blood testing can be used to help to diagnose lung cancer.

The researchers are doing this study to test the capabilities of a new total-body PET scanner called the Biograph Vision Quadra. The researchers want to learn whether this scanner can produce better PET/CT images and provide more useful imaging information than standard PET/CT scanners.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether 177Lu-DPTA-omburtamab is a safe treatment for children and adolescents with recurrent/refractory medulloblastoma or another type of cancer with CNS metastases.

The purpose of this study is to determine the most effective family-centered intervention (FCI) for weight loss and obesity prevention in Hispanic families. FCI is a type of program that involves family (such as parents and caregivers) supporting their children to promote healthy habits.

The purpose of this study is to test whether the combination of fianlimab, cemiplimab, and ipilimumab is a safe and effective treatment that causes few or mild side effects for locally advanced or metastatic, unresectable, refractory melanoma.

Research indicates that perceived stigma within medical encounters is prevalent and problematic for lung cancer patients' well-being and quality of cancer care. Promoting empathic communication appears to be a potentially effective intervention target to help reduce patients' perceptions of stigma within clinical encounters; however, no formal trainings exist that focus on teaching empathic communication to oncology care providers (OCPs). Building upon favorable findings from a prior R21 (R21CA202793) and the importance of developing interventions to address lung cancer stigma, our goal is to conduct a national trial of empathic communication skills (ECS) training to facilitate improvements in the medical and psychosocial care of patients through de-stigmatizing interactions with OCPs for patients diagnosed with lung cancer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate different combinations of cancer education sessions, counseling sessions, and peer support meetings developed for Chinese cancer patients and survivors. The researchers will look at whether the combinations are practical and effective, and how they impact participants' quality of life.

The researchers are doing this study to find out whether a 3-drug combination of ivosidenib, azacitidine, and venetoclax followed by maintenance therapy with ivosidenib alone is an effective treatment approach for people with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has an IDH mutation. Maintenance therapy is additional treatment given to help keep cancer from coming back after it has disappeared following the first course of treatment. The researchers will also look at the safety of the treatment approach and what kind of a time commitment it involves for participants.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether CD371-YSNVZ-IL18 CAR T cells are safe, and to look for the highest dose of CD371-YSNVZ-IL18 CAR T cells that cause few or mild side effects in participants.

The main purpose of this study is to see if IgPro20 can prevent infection in people with multiple myeloma (MM) who have hypogammaglobulinemia from receiving bispecific monoclonal antibodies (BsAbs).

The researchers are doing this study to find out whether PK-targeted fludarabine is an effective Lymphodepletion (LD) chemotherapy approach for people with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) who will receive tisagenlecleucel CAR T-cell therapy. The researchers will compare PK-targeted fludarabine dosing with standard fludarabine dosing to see which treatment approach is more effective. The researchers will also look at whether PK-targeted fludarabine dosing is feasible (practical), the side effects of the study treatment, and how the study treatment affects people's quality of life. The researchers will measure quality of life by having participants complete questionnaires.

The researchers are going this to look at how butyrate levels change in participants' stool after they are on a plant-based diet or dietary supplements (omega-3, curcumin or probiotics) for 2 weeks. All participants will have smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) or monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). The researchers will compare how the different dietary changes affect butyrate levels in participants' stool.

The purpose of this study is to look at mental health services for adults with depressed mood who were diagnosed with cancer at the age of 65 or older. This study will compare the usual approach for connecting older adults with depressed mood to mental health services with the Open Door for Cancer (OD-C) approach. We will find out if the OD-C approach is practical and useful for cancer patients who participate in the intervention and for providers who see or treat cancer patients.

The purpose of this study is to see if using Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy/SBRT to treat a single metastatic site where cancer has worsened may be an effective treatment for people with oligometastatic breast cancer. Participants will stay on their usual drug therapy while they receive SBRT. This combination of SBRT to a single metastatic site and usual drug therapy may prevent participants' cancer from worsening in other metastatic sites or spreading.

Genetic testing is a type of test that detects changes to the genes-the DNA instructions that are passed on from the mother and father. The results of a genetic test can confirm whether the participant has a genetic disorder, which is a disease caused in whole or in part by changes to the genes. Genetic testing can also help determine a person's chance of getting or passing on a genetic disorder. Genetic tests use a sample of blood, hair, skin, or other tissue, and they can look at one gene or multiple genes at the same time. Genetic testing may change the options for treating people with certain types of cancer. For example, some medications are more helpful for the treatment of cancer in people with certain gene changes (mutations). The researchers are doing this study to develop new educational materials about genetic testing for people who speak different languages and have diverse cultural and educational backgrounds. During the study, the staff will interview participants with diverse cultural and educational backgrounds and ask them to review a sample of the educational materials that have been developed so far. Participants will give their opinions on these materials, and the researchers will use participants' feedback to improve the materials.

The purpose of this study is to find out the genetic and biochemical makeup of your neuroblastic tumor, which influences its aggressiveness and the suitable therapy. These research studies include surface marker analysis, cytogenetics, cancer genes,genome sequencing, tumor growth-related genes and tumor growth in test tubes. Your blood, marrow, and hematopoietic stem cell samples will also be tested for tumors or leukemia cells, and your serum tested for anti-tumor antibodies.

The purpose of this study is find out whether the combination of trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) and cetuximab is an effective treatment for participants with metastatic and/or unresectable colorectal cancer that expresses low levels of HER2 and that has gotten worse after receiving standard treatment.

The purpose of this study is to see if siltuximab plus population pharmacokinetic (PK)-dosed melphalan works as well as the usual approach (body surface area \[BSA\]-dosed melphalan) in people with multiple myeloma (MM) who are receiving an autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) as part of their standard treatment. The researchers will also see if siltuximab in combination with population PK-dosed melphalan works to decrease symptoms after an ASCT, and will study the safety of siltuximab. For the run-in, 15 patients will receive siltuximab, 11 mg/kg, seven days before and 14 days after autologous hematopoietic stem cell infusion (+/-2 day).

This study will involve collecting information about the regular medical care you receive for large cutaneous melanocytic nevi (LCMN) or neurocutaneous melanocytosis (NCM).

The purpose of this study is to find out if the combination of pirtobrutinib, venetoclax, and rituximab is an effective treatment for participants with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM)/lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL)

The purpose of the study is to explore adding the study drug certolizumab to standard chemotherapy as it may reduce the inflammation caused by the cancer and make the chemotherapy more effective in shrinking the cancer. This study will examine whether adding certolizumab to the usual treatment approach is better than, the same as, or worse than the usual approach alone.

The purpose of the study is to explore the combination of a bivalent vaccine, a sugar called beta-glucan (β-glucan), and a protein called granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) as an effective treatment for people with high-risk neuroblastoma that is in complete remission. The combination may be effective because the different parts of the treatment work to strengthen the immune system's response against cancer cells in different ways.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether enfortumab vedotin is an effective and safe treatment for people with adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC).

The purpose of this study is to develop a secure method of collecting physiologic information from patients with cancer. The researchers will use this information to learn more about how physiologic data may relate to cancer diagnosis and response to treatment, and to identify factors that may lead to higher or lower risk of cancer.
