16 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This study examines the feasibility of using gene therapy to prevent some of the toxicities of an intensive chemotherapy regimen in patients with metastatic breast cancer. Patients who do not wish to participate in the gene therapy procedures will be offered identical chemotherapy on a different protocol. Patients will be treated initially with chemotherapy which is active against breast cancer, but which has a low potential to hurt blood-forming cells. Then, the patient will receive high dose chemotherapy, during which time blood cells which are capable of rebuilding patients' bone marrows will be removed from the patients' bloodstream. We will use these blood cell collections to isolate peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPCs), those cells which are thought to be the forbears of all other blood cells. A portion of the PBPCs will be exposed to a disabled virus which either carries genetic material referred to as the multidrug resistance gene (MDR1). The virus will transfer the MDR1 gene into a portion of the patient's PBPCs. The purpose of putting the MDR1 gene into the patients' PBPCs is to try to make these blood cells and their offspring resistant to the toxic effects of certain types of breast cancer chemotherapy. The MDR1 protein (Pgp) that is made from the MDR1 gene makes cells resistant to chemotherapy in laboratory systems by pumping the drug out of cells before the drug is able to kill the cell. Another portion of the patients PBPCs will be exposed to a similar disabled virus carrying a different gene called the NeoR gene. The NeoR gene should not change the effects of chemotherapy on blood forming cells. The purpose of using the NeoR gene is that it will serve as a point of comparison, to see if the presence of the MDR1 drug resistance gene really helps blood forming cells withstand subsequent chemotherapy. Patients are then treated with a very high dose of another anti-breast cancer drug, one that is very toxic to bone marrow cells, and patients will then receive the frozen PBPCs, which contain the new genes, to help them recover from the chemotherapy. After recovery, patients will then be treated with high doses of paclitaxel (Taxol) and doxorubicin (Adriamycin) chemotherapy. Both of these drugs are very active against breast cancer, and the MDR1 gene may potentially protect bone marrow cells against these drugs. Samples of peripheral blood cells will be obtained before each of these doses of chemotherapy to determine whether the number of blood cells that contain the MDR1 gene in comparison to the number that contain the NeoR gene has increased in response to the chemotherapy.
This research study will examine how patients with advanced breast cancer and their oncology team communicate and plan ongoing care.The purpose of this study is to find out more about care planning during advanced breast cancer. The study will see if certain aspects of communication make a difference in how patients understand their illness.
The clinical trial is a phase 1, single-arm trial that will evaluate the safety of the investigational treatment on metastatic cancer in patients who have a deleterious or suspected deleterious BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 genetic alteration. The investigational treatment will involve 2 cycles of a combination of intravenous melphalan, BCNU, low-dose I.V. ethanol, vitamin B12b, and vitamin C in association with autologous hematopoietic stem cell infusion. A dose-escalation schedule will be employed for vitamin C.
The purpose of this study is to assess if Gtx-024 is effective in increasing lean body mass in subjects with muscle wasting related to cancer.
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety and efficacy of trilaciclib versus placebo administered prior to gemcitabine and carboplatin in patients receiving first- or second-line treatment for locally advanced unresectable/metastatic TNBC.
Biomarker Screening Protocol for Preliminary Eligibility Determination for Adoptive T-cell Therapy Trials:This is a decentralized, multi-site, US-based biomarker screening study to identify participants who have specific disease indications and tumor expression of target(s) of interest that may inform eligibility for active and future Lyell clinical trials. No investigational treatments will be administered in this non-interventional screening study. Only previously obtained archival tumor tissue will be allowed on this study for biomarker analysis. Fresh tumor biopsies are not permitted on this study. The study will be conducted virtually and participants will utilize telehealth and e-consent modules. If participants tumors express the biomarkers of interest they can be referred to open and enrolling clinical trials. Participation on the screening study does not guarantee enrollment or treatment on an interventional clinical trial.
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of LYL797, a ROR1-targeted CAR T-cell therapy, in patients with ROR1+ relapsed or refractory triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian cancer/ fallopian tube cancer/ primary peritoneal cancer (Ovarian cancer), or Endometrial cancer. The first part of the study will determine the safe dose for the next part of the study, and will enroll patients with TNBC, NSCLC, Ovarian or Endometrial cancer. The second part of the study will test that dose in additional patients with TNBC, NSCLC, Ovarian or Endometrial cancer.
The purpose of this study is to see whether patients with metastatic breast cancer, their caregivers, and their healthcare providers can improve in shared decision making (SDM) and preparedness around end of life (EOL) planning through participation in Reimagine's online Four Conversations™ program. The goal is to close clinical practice gaps and enhance the quality of care for patients with metastatic breast cancer through increased competence and performance of healthcare providers and healthcare systems.
This is a Phase 1, multicenter, open-label, dose escalation and dose expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary evidence of antitumor activity of CPO-100 administered intravenously in cycles of 3 weekly doses with 1 week rest (1 cycle = 4 weeks) in adult patients with advanced solid tumors.
This phase II trial studies how well exemestane before surgery works in treating postmenopausal patients with newly diagnosed estrogen receptor positive stage II-III breast cancer. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using exemestane may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the mechanism of action, as well as the safety and efficacy of trilaciclib in combination with standard of care treatment in the neoadjuvant setting of early-stage triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). This study will have four phases: 1) Screening Phase, 2) Trilaciclib Lead-In Phase, 3) Treatment Phase, and 4) Surgery and Follow-Up Phase. After a screening phase of up to 21 day, each participant will receive trilaciclib single-dose monotherapy during the lead-in phase, followed by a tumor biopsy. During the treatment phase, each participant will receive trilaciclib with standard of care chemotherapy. Immunotherapy may be included during the treatment phase, per standard of care. 3-5 weeks following conclusion of the treatment phase, each participant will undergo definitive surgery. A 30-day Safety Follow-up Visit will occur 30 days after the last dose of trilaciclib and an End of Study Visit will occur within 14 days after definitive surgery.
This is a study to investigate the potential clinical benefit of G1T48 as an oral selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) alone and in combination with palbociclib, a cyclin dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK 4/6) inhibitor, in patients with estrogen receptor-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer. The study is an open-label design, consisting of 3 parts: dose-finding portion including food effect (Part 1), G1T48 monotherapy expansion portion (Part 2), and G1T48 in combination with palbociclib expansion portion (Part 3). All parts include 3 study phases: Screening Phase, Treatment Phase, and Survival Follow-up Phase. The Treatment Phase begins on the day of first dose with study treatment and completes at the Post-Treatment Visit. Approximately, 184 patients may be enrolled in the study.
This trial studies the best dose and side effects of utomilumab (4-1BB agonist monoclonal antibody PF-05082566) with trastuzumab emtansine or trastuzumab in treating patients with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Monoclonal antibodies, such as utomilumab, trastuzumab emtansine, and trastuzumab may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the biological effects of abemaciclib in combination with anastrozole and compare those to the effects of abemaciclib alone and anastrozole alone in the tumors of postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Letrozole may fight breast cancer by lowering the amount of estrogen the body makes. It is not yet known which regimen of letrozole is more effective in postmenopausal women who have received hormone therapy for early-stage breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is comparing two different regimens of letrozole in preventing cancer in postmenopausal women who have received 4-6 years of hormone therapy for hormone receptor-positive, lymph node-positive, early-stage breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Interleukin-4 PE38KDEL cytotoxin may be able to deliver cancer-killing substances directly to solid tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of intravenous interleukin-4 PE38KDEL cytotoxin in treating patients who have recurrent or metastatic kidney cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, or breast cancer that has not responded to previous treatment.
