We aim to evaluate the feasibility and toxicity of testing the tolerance and immunogenic effects of high-dose SCART radiotherapy in patients with bulky metastatic or recurrent cancer in the setting of a single-arm phase I clinical trial. The primary endpoint of the study was to determine dose-limiting toxicities (DLT)s and the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of SCART to bulky metastatic or recurrent cancers.

This phase II/III trial studies how well physical activity with or without dexamethasone works in reducing cancer-related fatigue in patients with cancer that has spread to other places in the body or has come back. Dexamethasone may decrease the body's immune response. Combining physical activity with dexamethasone may help to treat fatigue in patients with cancer.
This randomized phase II/III trial studies how well haloperidol with or without chlorpromazine works in treating delirium in patients with cancer that has spread to other parts of the body or has come back. Haloperidol and chlorpromazine may control the symptoms of delirium (loss of contact with reality) in patients with cancer.
This is a cohort study of women with suspected or confirmed recurrent breast cancer, with accessible tumor by standard clinical biopsy, prior to starting a new therapy for recurrent metastatic disease. Study participants will be ascertained from the population of all persons greater than eighteen years of age receiving care at the clinical practices of the Rowan Breast Center (RBC) at the University of Pennsylvania. The overarching goal of this study is to identify the genetic and molecular markers of molecular evolution identified in patients who have progressed from a primary diagnosis of breast cancer to recurrent, metastatic disease. As an observational study, this study seeks to gather data regarding the molecular and genetic changes that a primary cancer undergoes as a patient's cancer recurs and ultimately progresses. We anticipate enrolling 600 women with recurrent breast cancer who meet eligibility requirements for this study. Participation in this study will include the following: a biopsy and blood collection, completion of the study questionnaire, an optional bone marrow aspiration, and repeat collection of blood, offer of a research biopsy and a optional bone marrow aspirate collection at each progression time point. The study participants' medical information will be updated and changes in disease status will be captured on a regular basis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of humanized IgG4 (kappa) isotype monoclonal antibody against CEACAM1 (CM-24 \[MK-6018\]), administered intravenously as monotherapy and in combination with Pembrolizumab (MK-3475), in participants with selected advanced or recurrent malignancies. Escalating multiple doses will be evaluated to determine the recommended dose for Phase 2 clinical studies.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of talazoparib and temozolomide and to see how well they work in treating younger patients with tumors that have not responded to previous treatment (refractory) or have come back (recurrent). Talazoparib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, 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 talazoparib together with temozolomide may work better in treating younger patients with refractory or recurrent malignancies.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (CRT) or intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in treating patients with recurrent tumors. Radiation therapy (RT) uses high energy x rays to kill tumor cells. Palliative radiation therapy may help patients with recurrent tumors live more comfortably.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of using proton radiotherapy for reirradiation of recurrent malignancies.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of age (geriatric) and renal function on the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of OctreoScan at the recommended clinical dose in this patient population.
This is an open-label, multicenter, single-dose pilot study of AuroLase(TM) Therapy in the treatment of patients with refractory and/or recurrent tumors of the head and neck. Three (3) treatment groups of five (5) patients each will be enrolled and observed for six (6) months following treatment. Each group will receive a single dose of AuroShell(TM) particles followed by one or more interstitial illuminations with an 808nm laser. Particle dose and laser power may be increased in each dosing group.
RATIONALE: Soy protein may help prevent prostate cancer recurrence in patients who have undergone surgery for prostate cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II/III trial is studying how well soy protein works and compares it to a placebo in preventing recurrent cancer in patients who have undergone surgery for stage II prostate cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of MDX-1106 in patients with certain types of cancer. Another purpose is to determine how MDX-1106 is absorbed and distributed within the body, and how it's eventually eliminated.
This research study is testing the safety of a vaccination of cells called GM-K562 cells mixed with the participants own irradiated tumor cells. The GM-K562 cells have been modified in the laboratory to secrete the protein GM-CSF. This protein can be effective in stimulating an immune response to cancer. This newly developed vaccine may stop cancer cells from growing.
