Clinical trials

The purpose of this study is to learn more about malignant colorectal polyps and the risk of the cancer remaining, coming back, or spreading after the polyp is removed. The researchers also want to understand how patients and doctors make decisions about treatment after a malignant polyp is removed. Additionally, the researcher will collect information medical records, including results from tests, imaging scans, lab work, and pathology reports. The researchers may also collect images from your colonoscopy and copies of pathology slides the polyp. The researchers will also follow the patient's health over time through regular doctor visits. If the patient does not have a scheduled visit, a member of the study team will contact the patient by phone at 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years after the patient joins the study to ask about their health.

The researchers are doing this study is to find out whether ulixertinib is an effective and safe treatment for people with histiocytic neoplasms.

This study will test whether the combination of radiation and Dostarlimab is an effective treatment for women with MMR-D/MSI-H endometrial cancer who have recently undergone surgery.

The researchers are doing this study to find out whether combining teclistamab and mezigdomide is a safe and effective treatment approach in people with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM).

The purpose of this study to find out whether adding trastuzumab and pembrolizumab to standard chemotherapy is an effective treatment for resectable HER2+ esophagogastric cancer.

The purpose of this study is to test which treatment schedule of β-glucan with bivalent vaccine is more effective for participants with high-risk neuroblastoma that is in complete remission.

The purpose of this study is to train Nigerian radiologists to perform ultrasound-guided breast biopsies. Researchers will use mHealth devices to create a sustainable and practical way of training radiologists in Nigeria to perform and clinically implement US-guided breast biopsies into their practice.

The purpose of this study is to learn more about the effects of your BRCA mutation on the ovaries. The BRCA gene can make it hard to conceive a child in the future. It may also bring on early menopause. The researchers will check blood levels of hormones that the ovaries produce. The hormones that researchers will check are anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), estradiol and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). The researchers will do this before, during, and after cancer treatment. The researchers will also ask you to fill out questionnaires about your menstrual cycle (your periods) and information about your health and pregnancies. This may help us learn which women will be more likely to have early menopause.

The researchers are doing this study to test whether luspatercept works to improve hemoglobin levels in people with anemia caused by chronic kidney disease (CKD). The researchers will also test whether luspatercept is a safe treatment that causes few or mild side effects in participants.

The purpose of this study is to see whether acupuncture is a practical (feasible) treatment for cancer survivors with joint pain.

Participants will have a sample of their white blood cells, called T cells, collected using a procedure called leukapheresis. The collected T cells will be sent to a laboratory at Memorial Sloan Kettering to be changed (modified) to become MSLN-targeted CAR T cells, the CAR T-cell therapy that participants will receive during the study. Participant study therapy will take about 3-4 weeks.

The researchers are doing this study to find out if the combination of avutometinib and defactinib is an effective treatment for RAF dimer-driven radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer or anaplastic thyroid cancer. The researchers will also test whether avutometinib and defactinib is a safe treatment that causes few or mild side effects. Funding Source- FDA OOPD.

The purpose of this phase II study is to find out what effects cabozantinib (XL184) has, good and/or bad, in patients whose tumors one of the following gene changes RET, ROS1, or NTRK fusion, or increased MET or AXL activity. A phase II study looks at how effective a medication is at treating a specific type of cancer and collects information on the side effects of the study treatment. RET, ROS1, or NTRK fusion or increased MET or AXL activity gene leads to lung cancer cell growth. Cabozantinib is an oral medicine that inhibits of RET, ROS1, NTRK, MET, and AXL. In addition, this drug interferes with other cell pathways that also cause cancer cells to grow, form new blood vessels, and spread to other organs of the body. The goal of using cabozantinib is to shrink the cancer and to prevent it from growing Cabozantinib has been studied and shown to cause cancer shrinkage in other cancers such as medullary thyroid cancer and prostate cancer. We thus have a good idea of what side-effects it causes and can anticipate them.

The researchers are doing this study to compare two different music-based treatment approaches and see if one may work better to reduce anxiety. The researchers will also study whether these music-based treatment approaches help people feel socially connected and change how they cope with anxiety, and whether these changes are linked to lower anxiety levels. Both approaches use music-based activities to treat anxiety. One of the approaches uses an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered song creation platform to write songs with a music therapist. The other approach involves music listening exercises and music-based discussions with research staff, during which you will learn about music culture and history.

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 purpose of this study is to develop and test a new communication training intervention called Hematolo-GIST to help oncologists communicate with patients about their lymphoma diagnosis and advance care planning.

The researchers think that the use of advanced MR imaging may help people with this disease, because it may better predict areas within a malignant glioma (brain tumor) that are at a high risk of recurring. WeThe reserchers are doing this study to see whether this advanced imaging is a safe treatment that causes few or mild side effects in people with brain tumors.

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 collect voice recordings and nervous system (neurologic) assessments from people with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) or multiple myeloma (MM) who are receiving standard treatment with CAR T-cell therapy. Researchers will study whether these voice recordings and assessments are a practical (feasible) way to monitor for immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS). Feasibility will be measured by tracking how many participants join the study and complete the assessments.

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 researchers are doing this study to look at changes in Ki67 expression after at least 2 weeks of endocrine therapy in people with ER+/HER2- breast cancer undergoing cancer removal surgery. Participants will receive the endocrine therapy before their surgery. The researchers will look at how changes in Ki67 expression compare between participants who are carriers of the BRCA2 mutation and participants who are noncarriers of the BRCA2 mutation.

The purpose of this study is to explore novel ways of diagnosing colon cancer and predicting its propensity to spread to other organs such as the liver.
