784 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The objective of this study is to assess safety and efficacy of BA3182 in Advanced Adenocarcinoma
Background: Pancreas cancer ranks 4th in all cancer-related deaths in the United States (U.S.) Gemcitabine is a standard treatment for it. M7824 (MSB0011359C) blocks a pathway that prevents the immune system from effectively fighting cancer. The two drugs together might help people with pancreas cancer. Objective: To test if giving M7824 together with gemcitabine is safe and causes tumors to shrink. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with pancreatic cancer already treated with standard therapies Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Scans in a machine that takes pictures of the body Blood, urine, and heart tests Some participants may have a tumor sample removed. Participants will get M7824 by intravenous (IV) once every 2 weeks. They will continue until their disease gets worse or they have unacceptable side effects. After the first dose, participants will also get gemcitabine by IV once weekly for 7 weeks. Then they will get it as follows for up to 6 months: Skip 1 week, get the drug once a week for 3 weeks, skip 1 week. Before treatment on the first day of each cycle, participants will repeat screening tests. They will also have: Optional tumor biopsies before and after 3 cycles of therapy Questions about their well-being and function Genetic testing of tissue and blood samples Participants will have a follow-up visit 4-5 weeks after they stop therapy. This includes a physical exam, blood and urine tests, and maybe a scan. If their disease does not get worse, they will be invited for scans every 12 weeks.

Background: - The investigational anti-cancer drug Selumetinib (AZD6244) prevents a protein found in rectal cancer from working properly, which may slow tumor growth and allow radiation and chemotherapy treatments to destroy more cancer cells. Researchers are interested in determining whether AZD6244 can be used to improve treatment outcomes in individuals who have rectal cancer that has spread outside the rectum into the surrounding pelvis. Objectives: - To determine safe and effective doses of AZD6244, along with radiation and chemotherapy, to treat rectal cancer. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with rectal cancer that has spread outside the inner wall of the rectum or into lymph nodes in the pelvis. Design: * Eligible participants will be screened with a physical examination, blood and tumor samples, and imaging studies. * Participants will receive AZD6244 twice a day by mouth for 1 full week (7 days) before starting radiation and chemotherapy and every week thereafter until the end of the radiation and chemotherapy treatment. * Participants will have radiation therapy daily, 5 days per week, for approximately 6 weeks. * Participants will receive chemotherapy (capecitabine) twice daily, 5 days per week, for approximately 6 weeks. * Approximately 4 to 8 weeks after completing the AZD6244, radiation, and chemotherapy treatment, participants may have surgery to remove any tumors and affected lymph nodes. This surgery is not part of the treatment delivered on this protocol. * Participants will have a follow-up exam 3 weeks after the end of treatment, every 3 months for the first year, and then in the second and third year after the end of treatment. These visits will involve a full medical examination and imaging studies.
The durg vorinostat (Zolinza) is a type of drug called an histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor. It inhibits a group of enzymes called histone deacetylases. These enzymes help cancer cells survive. By inhibiting these enzymes, vorinostat helps kill cancer cells. In this research study vorinostat will be given along with radiation therapy and the drug 5-FU. This is the first research study in which vorinostat will be given along with radiation therapy and 5-FU. The purpose of this research study is to find the highest dose of vorinostat that can be given safely along with radiation therapy and 5-FU. The investigators will also begin to get information about whether vorinostat combined with radiation and 5-FU may help to treat pancreatic cancer.
The purpose of this study is to collect information on the anti-tumor activity of the combination doxorubicin, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil when given to patients with advanced esophageal or gastric adenocarcinoma.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and tolerability of a monoclonal antibody administered subcutaneously in the treatment of advanced cancers of the ovary, breast, lung, prostate, colon or rectum that are either refractory to standard therapies or for which therapies that may potentially be of major benefit do not exist.
Randomized phase II trial to determine the effectiveness of vaccine therapy in treating patients who have advanced adenocarcinoma of the prostate (prostate cancer). Vaccines made from a person's prostate cancer cells may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells
This phase 1/2 trial tests the safety and effectiveness of a cancer vaccine called Labvax 3(22)-23 and GM-CSF alone or in combination with pembrolizumab in treating adenocarcinoma that has spread to other places in the body (advanced stage). Labvax 3(22)-23 is designed to target a specific antigen (labyrinthin), which is a protein found on the surface of adenocarcinoma tumor cells. Labyrinthin is a protein that is not expressed on normal cells in the skin, lungs, salivary glands, pancreas, nor other tissues. In adenocarcinoma, the tumor cells produce too much labyrinthin causing them to express this protein on the surface of the tumor cells. One way to control the growth of these tumor cells is to teach the immune system to generate an immune response against the labyrinthin protein by vaccination against labyrinthin. GM-CSF, or sargramostim, is a protein that acts as a white blood cell growth factor. It has also been shown to stimulate immune system. Thus, administration of GM-CSF may help to boost the immune system response when given together with the vaccine. This study may improve the general knowledge about Labvax 3(22)-23 and how the body may generate an immune response to kill adenocarcinoma tumor cells. In the second phase of the study, participants will also receive pembrolizumab, which may improve anti-cancer activity when given with Labvax 3(22)-23 and GM-CSF.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of atorvastatin on the pharmacokinetic profile of irinotecan and SN-38. To further evaluate the safety of atorvastatin in combination with FOLFIRI. To further evaluate the safety and of irinotecan in combination with atorvastatin.
In this Phase I/II clinical trial, the investigators seek to pilot the addition of Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) to a commonly-used front-line therapy of pancreatic cancer, gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel. The investigators plan a run-in to define tolerable doses, and will explore doses of 800 and 1200 mg/day in successive cohorts of 6 patients. The investigators will assess toxicity continuously, and determine the dose for the Phase II trial based on standard toxicity criteria. The correlative endpoints of this trial are directed to the pharmacokinetics of HCQ, and pharmacokinetic model of HCQ based on data from several ongoing trials, and the data from these patients will contribute to refining the model. The investigators will analyze both measured and model-predicted indices for their relationship to autophagy induction. Autophagy will be assessed as the accumulation of autophagocytic vesicles in the PMNs of treated patients, together with the induction of the expression of autophagy-related proteins on western analysis, quantitated by densitometry. The investigators will document the rates of metabolic response as a consequence of treatment, as a therapeutic marker that may be related to the degree of autophagy inhibition. Since the investigators have previously demonstrated a key role of JNK1 in the induction of autophagy by chemotherapy, the investigators will analyze archival tumor materials to determine variability in this marker, as a baseline for potential future trials. Finally, this study will incorporate metabolic profiling by mass spectrometry, which will be related to mutations (including Kras) in pretreatment tumor specimens. Mutational analysis will be accomplished by targeted sequencing or by next-generation sequencing, and the need for fresh tissue for all these endpoints will require patients to have a biopsy performed before treatment at at 6-8 weeks after beginning treatment. In the previous study of the Hh inhibitor GDC-0973 with the same chemotherapy, the investigators were able to obtain repeat biopsies successfully on all patients. The importance of these biopsies, to move the science forward in an era in which the tools now exist to provide meaningful correlative science, cannot be overstated.
To evaluate the performance characteristics of Signal-C™ a plasma circulating free-DNA test, to detect colorectal cancer and advanced precancerous lesions (APL) in an average risk screening population for 45 and over.
This interventional clinical trial aims to find ways of improving treatments for individuals with esophageal cancer. Laboratory-based studies show that using medicines that affect a protein called TGF-beta (TGFβ) can kill esophageal cancer cells in individuals who have localized esophageal adenocarcinoma and are being considered for standard-of-care chemoradiation prior to surgery. Participants of this study will take a pill called vactosertib for two weeks before starting standard of care chemoradiation. At the end of the two weeks of taking vactosertib, participants will have a Positron Emission Tomography Computer Assisted Tomography (PET CT) scan and undergo an endoscopy with a biopsy to determine if the vactosertib is working. After chemoradiation, participants will take vactosertib again for four weeks and then be considered for surgery.

The objective of this research is to find out what effects (good and bad), the sequence of Gemcitabine - Abraxane (nab-Paclitaxel) followed by mFOLFIRINOX, the standard chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer, has on participants and their condition. Gemcitabine - Abraxane (nab-Paclitaxel) and mFOLFIRINOX has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as first line treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer. The sequence of Gemcitabine - Abraxane (nab-Paclitaxel) followed by mFOLFIRINOX has not been approved by the FDA for treatment of pancreatic cancer.
This phase I/II study tests how well zimberelimab and quemliclustat work in combination with chemotherapy (mFOLFIRINOX) in treating patients pancreatic adenocarcinoma that may or may not be able to be removed by surgery (borderline resectable) or that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as zimberelimab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Quemliclustat acts as a blocker for adenosine. Adenosine is a chemical produced in the body that can lead to a decrease in the immune system's response towards cancer. Quemliclustat has the potential to decrease the amount of adenosine, allowing the immune system to recognize and act against the cancer. Chemotherapy drugs, such as oxaliplatin, irinotecan, leucovorin, and fluorouracil, 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. Giving chemotherapy in combination with zimberelimab and quemliclustat may kill more cancer cells than chemotherapy alone.
