158 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if ustekinumab can help to control immune-related diarrhea and/or colitis in cancer patients.
This study is being done to better understand patient experiences with using a mobile application, known as Vigilant, to monitor symptoms as outpatients and to gather preliminary data on the potential clinical benefit to remote monitoring of adverse events.
To understand the severity and nature of participants experiences during irAEs following immune checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy.
We propose to conduct a pilot study evaluating baseline and on-treatment changes in tumor fraction (TFx) in peripheral blood in patients with NSCLC and RCC being treated with checkpoint inhibitor therapy as part of standard of care. The primary objective of the study is to determine whether baseline TFx can be reliably predicted in patients with NSCLC and RCC and if changes can be detected during treatment that may correlate with response. Exploratory analyses will be completed to assess the potential roles of cachexia-associated inflammation, tumor-associated increases in glucocorticoid secretion, and ketosis/ketogenesis in both elevated mAb clearance and in response to ICI therapy. Measurements will include circulating IL-6 and other cytokine levels, glucocorticoid levels, ketone levels and stool analysis for assessment of gut microbiome.
The purpose of this study is to measure the clinical benefits of the combination of RP2 and nivolumab as compared with the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma who have not been treated with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.
This study aims to learn more about symptoms that patients experience while receiving immunotherapy for cancer.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-arm phase 2 study of etrasimod plus corticosteroids versus placebo plus corticosteroids for the treatment of IMDC CTCAE v5.0 grade ≥ 2 due to ICI therapy alone (α-PD-(L)1 monotherapy or combined with another ICI, such as α-CTLA-4 or α-LAG-3) or ICI plus an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor that in the opinion of the treating physician requires treatment with corticosteroid-based immunosuppression and does not require immediate secondary immune suppression, such as vedolizumab or infliximab (or equivalent). IMDC is one of the most common Immune Related Adverse Events (irAEs) from treatment with ICI. Current guidelines recommend steroid treatment for IMDC CTCAE grade ≥ 2, which requires temporary or permanent cessation of ICI therapy. Corticosteroids may interfere with the anti-tumor activity of ICIs and are therefore not co-administered. Strategies are needed to both reduce the dose and duration of corticosteroids needed for IMDC treatment and minimize the duration off ICI therapy before re-administering ICI (for those patients in whom it is deemed safe to rechallenge).
This pilot trial will study the potential impact of two distinct dietary interventions with sequential use of high-fermented foods and high-fiber supplements on the gut microbiome and antitumor immunity in patients with melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. The trial aims to understand how dietary changes affect the composition and function of the gut microbiome, together with immunological and metabolomic markers in serum in patients with melanoma and NSCLC who are undergoing standard-of-care treatment with a PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitors (neoadjuvant, adjuvant or consolidation)
Multicenter, randomized (2:1), open-label phase 3 study in HLA-A2 positive patients with squamous and non-squamous metastatic NSCLC with ICI secondary resistance. Patients will be randomized into 2 arms (randomization 2:1): experimental Arm A with OSE2101 monotherapy or control Arm B SoC with docetaxel monotherapy. Stratification factors will be histology (squamous versus non squamous) and ECOG Performance Status (0 versus 1).
This phase II trial studies how well giving siltuximab during the reintroduction (rechallenge) of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy works in preventing severe immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in patients with cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as anti-PD1 and anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. The use of ICI therapy may lead to severe irAEs that can affect essentially any organ system in the body. Severe irAEs may lead to the early stopping of life saving treatment. Most patients that stop ICI therapy early will eventually progress and require additional treatment. Sometimes the decision is made to rechallenge with ICI therapy. Many patients who developed severe irAEs during initial ICI therapy are at risk for developing severe irAEs again during the rechallenge. Siltuximab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to receptors for a protein called interleukin-6 (IL-6). This may help lower the body's immune response and reduce inflammation. Giving siltuximab during ICI rechallenge may help prevent severe irAEs in patients with advanced cancer.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the safety, toxicity, and antitumor activity of fourth ventricular infusions of nivolumab plus 5-azacytidine for recurrent ependymoma and nivolumab plus methotrexate for recurrent medulloblastoma and other CNS malignancies. Additionally, the study will explore immunologic responses to nivolumab. The hypothesis is that local administration of nivolumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, is safe and will lead to even more robust treatment responses when administered following 5-azacytidine in patients with recurrent ependymoma or methotrexate in patients with medulloblastoma or other CNS tumors.
This Phase 2, open-label, randomized study in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an intravenously delivered oncolytic vaccinia virus, Olvi-Vec, followed by platinum-doublet chemotherapy + Physician's Choice of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor (ICI) vs. docetaxel for patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have shown first disease progression (i.e., progressive disease not yet confirmed by further scan after initial scan showing progression) while on front-line treatment or maintenance ICI therapy after front-line treatment with platinum-doublet chemotherapy + ICI as standard of care.
This clinical trial assesses an effective and translatable care model to understand and reduce the adverse effects that cancer patients experience during their treatment therapies and thereby enhance their well-being and quality of life. Excessive immune activation can affect multiple organs with the most common adverse effects being skin rash, diarrhea, colitis, fatigue, hypothyroidism and anorexia. A restrictive calorie diet, mostly of fat and complex carbohydrates, will mimic fasting and increase resiliency to protect patients from the adverse effects of cancer treatments, by managing the adverse side effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) treatments in select cancer patients. The fast mimicking diet (FMD) (Xentigen®) is a calorie restrictive, low-calorie, low-protein, high complex carbohydrate, high-fat diet. The FMD program is a plant-based diet program designed to attain fasting-like effects while providing both macro- and micronutrients to minimize the burden of fasting and adverse effects. The FMD consists of 100% ingredients which are generally regarded as safe (GRAS) and comprises mainly of vegetable-based soups and broths, energy bars, energy drinks, cracker snacks, herbal teas, and supplements. Following a FMD may reduce the adverse effects that some cancer patients experience while following immunotherapy treatments.
This study is being done to collect tissue samples to test how accurately a tumor response platform, Elephas, can predict clinical response across multiple types of immunotherapies, chemoimmunotherapy and tumor types.
This is an observational study that includes patients with breast cancer or non-small cell lung cancer who will be treated with immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy. The investigators will use echocardiograms, blood draws, and PET stress tests to understand how ICI therapy affects the heart and circulatory system.
The purpose of this research study is to determine if analysis of PET/CT scans and testing of blood samples in people with melanoma that has spread in their body can help researchers determine which patients are more or less likely to respond to immunotherapy and are more or less likely to have side effects. 24 participants will be enrolled and be on study until approximately 4 weeks after their first dose of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor therapy.
Veterans with advanced lung cancer may benefit from recent advances in technologies that is designed to change the activities of their own white blood cells and help kill tumors. However, many cancers can hide from white blood cells making white blood cells less effective in killing tumors. In this study the investigators plan to boost the activity of patients white blood cell by making tumor cells more visible to the white blood cells. This will be done by injecting antibodies and a new drug that together can make white blood cells inside tumors more active. The investigators plan to recruit sixteen people with advanced lung cancer to make sure that this treatment, which has not been done in any humans, is safe and well tolerated.
To find out if contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can be used to determine if patients receiving combined ICI therapy for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) are responding to treatment earlier than standard of care MR or CT.
This was a retrospective cohort study using Truven Health Analytics' MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters and Medicare Supplement and Coordination of Benefit administrative claims databases. The analysis was conducted using the most recent 5 years of data from the database, 01 January 2015, to 28 February 2021 (study period). Included patients were followed for outcome evaluation from the index date (first prescription of treatment, immunotherapy \[IO\] or targeted therapy \[TT\] following diagnosis of non-metastatic malignant melanoma and evidence of first lymph node resection), until the first occurrence of end of continuous eligibility or end of the study period.
This study will evaluate the safety of tobemstomig (RO7247669) in combination with axitinib alone or with tiragolumab (anti-TIGIT) and axitinib as compared to pembrolizumab and axitinib in participants with previously untreated, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).
Immune-related colitis from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) is a common adverse effect causing significant morbidity and impairment of quality of life (QoL). Steroids are the first line of treatment for severe ICI induced Immune- mediated diarrhea and colitis (IMDC). If there is no improvement in 48 to 72 hours, other immunosuppressive agents (infliximab, vedolizumab) are recommended. However, efficacy data supporting the use of immunosuppressives for steroid refractory IMDC is limited by case reports/series. Clinical trials focusing on steroid-refractory colitis are sparse. Novel treatments for IMDC outside of blanket immunosuppression are needed. There is robust evidence to suggest that gut microbial diversity and composition is associated with both ICI efficacy and toxicity. Preliminary studies have shown that pathophysiology of immune mediated colitis may be related to loss of gut microbial diversity. Recently, multiple case series have shown the utility of fecal microbiota transplant for treatment of refractory IMDC providing the proof of concept. This is a pilot randomized placebo controlled study to assess the safety and feasibility of oral restorative microbiota therapy (RMT) in patients with steroid- refractory IMDC.
This was a retrospective cohort study using the PharMetrics database. The analysis was conducted using the most recent 5 years of data from the database, January 1, 2015, to October 30, 2020. Included patients were followed for outcome evaluation from the index date (first prescription of treatment, immunotherapy \[IO\], or targeted therapy \[TT\] following diagnosis of non-metastatic malignant melanoma and evidence of first lymph node resection), until the first occurrence or end of continuous eligibility or end of the study period.
This research aims to identify clinical strategies to manage adverse events during immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy by (1) determining the impact of checkpoint inhibitors on metabolism through major CYP enzymes and (2) identifying associations between pro-inflammatory cytokine concentrations and negative clinical outcomes during checkpoint inhibitor therapy.
This is a first-in-human, multi-center, multi-cohort, open-label, phase Ib/II study of XmAb22841 (CTLA-4 X LAG3) administered in combination with XmAb23104 (PD1 X ICOS) in participants with a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of an advanced/metastatic melanoma. XmAb22841 (CTLA-4 X LAG3) is a bi-specific antibody targeting two different T cell membrane proteins responsible for regulation of T cell activity. It offers potential immunologic and safety advantages over existing therapies. XmAb22841 (CTLA-4 X LAG3) is being evaluated in this clinical study designed to assess the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of escalating doses of XmAb22841 (CTLA-4 X LAG3) administered in combination with XmAb23104 (PD1 X ICOS) The study will be conducted through the University of California Melanoma Consortium (UCMC).
This phase II trial tests how well itacitinib works in in patients with immune related adverse events (irAEs) arising from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) that do not respond to steroids (steroid refractory). Steroids are the usual treatment for these side effects. However, sometimes steroids do not improve or fix the side effects. Giving itacitinib may be effective in treating patients with known or suspected problems coming from ICIs, that do not resolve or improve with steroids, by reducing the patients immune system response that can cause the irAEs.
This is an open-label, multicenter, clinical study conducted in multiple parts to establish the safety, tolerability, Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) profile, maximum tolerated dose (MTD) combinations (if observed) and recommended dose for expansion (RDE) combination for tuvusertib in combination with lartesertib (in Part A1), food effect on the PK of lartesertib as monotherapy followed by treatment with tuvusertib in combination with lartesertib in participants with specific tumor types (in Part A1.1), relative bioavailability of a tuvusertib tablet formulation vs capsule formulation followed by treatment with tuvusertib (capsule) in combination with lartesertib in participants with specific tumor types (in Part A1.2), safety/tolerability and early signs of clinical activity of tuvusertib (capsule)and lartesertib in combination in participants with prostate cancer harboring loss of function (LoS) mutation in the gene ATM based on historic data collected prior to prescreening in circulating tumor (ct) DNA (liquid biopsies) or tumor biopsies (in Part A2), safety/tolerability and early signs of clinical activity of tuvusertib and lartesertib in combination in participants with endometrial cancer harboring LoS mutation(s) in the gene ARID1A based on historic data collected prior to prescreening in ctDNA (liquid biopsies) or tumor biopsies (in Part A3), the relative bioavailability of a tuvusertib tablet formulation (TF1, test) compared to a capsule formulation (reference) will also be investigated (in Part A2/A3), and identify a potential set of MTD combinations, and establish the RDE for the combination of tuvusertib and avelumab in participants with metastatic or locally advanced unresectable solid tumors (in Part B1).
This study compares treatment outcomes between patients of African American/Black (AA) ancestry and European American/White (EA) ancestry currently receiving immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment. Collecting samples of blood and saliva and health and treatment information from racially diverse patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment over time may help doctors better understand health care disparities among all cancer patients.
This phase I trial finds out the side effects and possible benefits of stereotactic radiosurgery and immune checkpoint inhibitors with NovoTTF-100M for the treating of melanoma that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). Stereotactic radiosurgery is a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position the patient and precisely give a single large dose of radiation to a tumor. It is used to treat brain tumors and other brain disorders that cannot be treated by regular surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. NovoTTF-100M is a portable battery operated device which produces tumor treating fields in the body by means of surface electrodes placed on the skin. Tumor treating fields are low intensity, intermediate frequency electric fields that pulse through the skin to disrupt cancer cells' ability to divide. Giving stereotactic radiosurgery and immune checkpoint inhibitors with NovoTTF-100M may work better than stereotactic radiosurgery and immune checkpoint inhibitors.
The primary aim is to test whether abatacept, as compared to placebo, is associated with a reduction in major adverse cardiac events (MACE) among participants hospitalized with myocarditis secondary to an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI). The primary outcome, MACE, is a composite of first occurrence of cardiovascular death, non-fatal sudden cardiac arrest, cardiogenic shock, significant ventricular arrythmias, significant bradyarrythmias, or incident heart failure.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of COH06 with or without atezolizumab in patients with non-small cell lung cancer previously treated with PD-1 and/or PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors that has spread to other places in the body (advanced) and that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). NK cells are infection fighting blood cells that can kill tumor cells. The NK cells given in this study, COH06, will come from umbilical cord blood and will have a new gene put in them that makes them express PD-L1, and express and secrete IL-15. NK cells that express PD-L1 may kill more tumor cells, and IL-15 may allow the NK cells to live longer. 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. Giving COH06 without or without atezolizumab may help control the disease in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
