The purpose of this study is to determine: 1. The highest dose of the trial intervention that targets neuroendocrine tumors and is tolerated by patients. 2. The highest frequency of dosing of the trial intervention that targets neuroendocrine tumors and is tolerated by patients. 3. The highest dose and frequency of dosing of the trial intervention that targets neuroendocrine tumors with at least the same degree of effectiveness and tolerability as currently available (standard of care) treatments for patients with neuroendocrine tumors.
Background: Rare tumors of the genitourinary (GU) tract can appear in the kidney, bladder, ureters, and penis. Rare tumors are difficult to study because there are not enough people to conduct large trials for new treatments. Two drugs-sacituzumab govitecan (SG) and atezolizumab-are each approved to treat other cancers. Researchers want to find out if the two drugs used together can help people with GU. Objective: To test SG, either alone or combined with atezolizumab, in people with rare GU tumors. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 years and older with rare GU tumors. These may include high grade neuroendocrine carcinomas; squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder; primary adenocarcinoma of the bladder; renal medullary carcinoma; or squamous cell carcinoma of the penis. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood and urine tests. They will have tests of heart function. They will have imaging scans. They may need a biopsy: A small needle will be used to remove a sample of tissue from the tumor. Both SG and atezolizumab are given through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein in the arm. All participants will receive SG on days 1 and 8 of each 21-day treatment cycle. Some participants will also receive atezolizumab on day 1 of each cycle. Blood and urine tests, imaging scans, and other exams will be repeated during study visits. Treatment may continue for up to 5 years. Follow-up visits will continue for 5 more years.
This is a first-in-human, Phase 1/2, open-label, dose escalation, dose expansion and combination study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of Peluntamig (PT217) as a monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapy.
This phase II/III trial compares the effect of immunotherapy with atezolizumab in combination with standard chemotherapy with a platinum drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide versus standard therapy alone for the treatment of poorly differentiated extrapulmonary (originated outside the lung) neuroendocrine cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). 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 may interfere with the ability of tumor cells 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 it 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.
This study collects information and data on patients with neuroendocrine cervical cancer. Information from this study may be used to better understand the correlation between clinical data, such as patient characteristics, treatment, and disease outcomes, and overall patient outcomes.
This early phase I trial determines where and to what degree the tracer \[68Ga\] Ga-FAPI-04 accumulates in normal and cancer tissues in patients with high grade neuroendocrine cancer. PET is an established imaging technique that utilizes small amounts of radioactivity attached to very minimal amounts of tracer, in the case of this research \[68Ga\] Ga-FAPI-04. Because some cancers take up \[68Ga\] Ga-FAPI-04, it can be seen with PET. CT utilizes x-rays that traverse body from the outside. CT images provide an exact outline of organs and potential inflammatory tissue where it occurs in patient's body.
Background: Small cell lung cancer and PARP inhibitor resistant tumors are aggressive cancers. Current treatments for people with these tumors yield little benefit. Researchers want to see if a combination of drugs can help. Objective: To find a safe combination of sacituzumab govitecan and berzosertib and to see if this will cause small cell lung cancer and PARP inhibitor resistant tumors to shrink. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with a solid tumor, small cell lung cancer, or a homologous recombination-deficient cancer that is resistant to PARP inhibitors Design: Participants will be screened with: Standard clinical exams and tests EKG to test the heart Medical documentation to confirm cancer diagnosis Participants will get sacituzumab govitecan by vein on days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle. They will get berzosertib by vein on days 2 and 9. Treatment will continue as long as they can tolerate the drugs and their tumors are either stable or getting better. Before treatment and at least once per cycle, participants will have a physical exam and blood tests. Before treatment and every 2 or 3 cycles, they will have a CT scan. They will have a contrast agent injected into a vein for the scan. Participants will give blood and hair samples and tumor biopsies for research. Biopsies will be taken with a small needle under imaging guidance. After they stop treatment, participants will have a visit 1 month later. They will then be contacted by phone or email every 3 months for the rest of their lives.
Background: High-grade neuroendocrine carcinomas (HGNEC) are cancers that develop in different parts of the body, including the digestive tract, genitals, neck, and head. One drug (belinostat), combined with 2 other drugs (etoposide and cisplatin), is approved to treat HGNEC. But some people may have a gene variant that affects how quickly their body gets rid of the drug; these people may do better with different dosages of belinostat. Objective: To test higher or lower doses of belinostat based on gene variants in people with HGNEC. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with HGNEC. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. Some blood will be used for genetic testing. They will have imaging scans and a test of their heart function. Samples of tumor tissue may be collected. All 3 study drugs (belinostat, etoposide, cisplatin) are given through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein. Treatment will be given in 21-day cycles. For cycles 1 through 6: Participants will come to the clinic for the first 4 days. They will be given all 3 drugs. Imaging scans and other tests will be repeated. Each visit will last 4 to 8 hours. After cycle 6: Participants may continue treatment with belinostat alone. They will come to the clinic for the first 3 days of each cycle. They may continue treatment for up to 5 years if the drug is helping them. Participants will have a follow-up visit 30 days after their last dose of belinostat. Then they will receive follow-up visits by phone or email every 3 to 6 months.
Background: Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are rare cancers in the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, lungs, adrenal glands, and other areas of the body. Many of these cancers have a high risk of relapse and a low chance of survival. Better treatments are needed. Objective: To test a new drug, ADCT-701, in people with NENs. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 and older with NENs. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood and urine tests. They will have imaging scans and tests of heart functioning. Their ability to perform normal daily activities will be tested. A biopsy may be needed: A sample of tissue will be removed from the tumor. ADCT-701 is given through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein in the arm. Participants will receive the drug treatment on the first day of 21-day treatment cycles. They will visit the clinic a total of 10 times during the first two cycles. After that, they will visit the clinic 2 times during each cycle. Imaging scans, blood draws, heart function tests, and other tests will be repeated during study visits. Each visit will last up to 8 hours. Participants may continue receiving treatment with the study drug for up to 2 years. After treatment ends, participants will have follow-up clinic visits 4 times in 4 months. They will have a physical exam, with heart and blood tests, at each visit. After that, they will have follow-up clinic visits every 9 weeks; these visits will include imaging scans. Follow-up visits will continue for up to 5 years after treatment began....
