4 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This phase II trial how well regorafenib and anti-EGFR therapy (cetuximab or panitumumab) works for the treatment of patients with colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable), has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced), or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Regorafenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab or panitumumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan, 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. The purpose of this research study is to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of taking regorafenib follow by cetuximab or panitumumab, to those that receive cetuximab or panitumumab before regorafenib.
This phase I trial tests the safety and side effects of STIL101 for injection and how well it works in treating patients with pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer (CRC), renal cell cancer (RCC), cervical cancer (CC) and melanoma that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or to other places in the body (metastatic) or that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). STIL101 for injection, an autologous (made from the patients own cells) cellular therapy, is made up of specialized white blood cells called lymphocytes or "T cells" collected from a piece of the patients tumor tissue. The T cells collected from the tumor are then grown in a laboratory to create STIL101 for injection. STIL101 for injection is then given to the patient where it may attack the tumor. Giving chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, helps prepare the body to receive STIL101 for injection in a way that allows the T cells the best opportunity to attack the tumor. Aldesleukin is a form of interleukin-2, a cytokine made by leukocytes. Aldesleukin increases the activity and growth of white blood cells called T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes. Giving STIL101 for injection may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with locally advanced, metastatic or unresectable pancreatic cancer, CRC, RCC, CC and melanoma.
The primary purpose of this study is to see if Sym024 is safe and tolerable as monotherapy and in combination with Sym021 in patients with solid tumor malignancies.
This phase II trial compares the impact of subcutaneous (SC) nivolumab given in an in-home setting to an in-clinic setting on cancer care and quality of life. Currently, most drug-related cancer care is conducted in clinic type centers or hospitals which may isolate patients from family, friends and familiar surroundings for many hours per day. This separation adds to the physical, emotional, social, and financial burden for patients and their families. Traveling to and from medical facilities costs time, money, and effort and can be a disadvantage to patients living in rural areas, those with low incomes or poor access to transport. Studies have shown that cancer patients often feel more comfortable and secure being cared for in their own home environments. SC nivolumab in-home treatment may be safe, tolerable and/or effective when compared to in-clinic treatment and may reduce the burden of cancer and improve the quality of life in cancer patients.
