Immune therapies work with the body's immune system to treat a number of cancers. They work with T-cells, a type of white blood cell, to target and attack specific tumors. However, some tumors can become resistant to attack by T-cells over time. They do this by sending "off" signals to...
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat men at high-risk of biochemical recurrence (BCR) of prostate cancer. BCR means that in men who had prostate cancer and were treated by either surgery and/ or radiation therapy, the blood level of a specific protein called PSA rises. PSA is...

I-SPY2 will assess the efficacy of novel drugs in sequence with standard chemotherapy. The goal is identify treatment strategies for subsets on the basis of molecular characteristics (biomarker signatures) of their disease with high estimated pCR rate. As described for previous adaptive trials, novel regimens with sufficiently high activities alone...

Health-related quality of...
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To create an annotated biorepository with prospectively collected blood samples from breast cancer survivors. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To collect comprehensive data on social determinants of health (e.g., race/ethnicity, acculturation, socioeconomic status, and access to care), environmental exposures (based on zip codes/geocoding), lifestyle (e.g., diet, tobacco use), clinicopathologic...
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To evaluate the safety profile of in situ immunomodulation with recombinant Flt3 ligand (CDX-301), radiotherapy, agonistic anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody CDX-1140, and Poly-ICLC in unresectable and metastatic melanoma, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, Merkel cell carcinoma, high-grade bone and soft tissue sarcoma or breast cancer patients with injectable palpable...
Follicular Lymphoma (FL) is the second most common B-cell cancer and the most common type of cancer of lymphocytes. Unfortunately, this disease is incurable with conventional treatment and the disease recurs in almost all patients. This study will assess how safe and effective epcoritamab is in combination with lenalidomide and...
This randomized study is designed to compare the combination of TVI-Brain-1 immunotherapy and standard therapy compared to standard therapy alone as a treatment for newly diagnosed MGMT unmethylated glioblastoma patients. The general procedures include the collection and testing of cancer tissue samples after surgery and chemoradiation therapy (radiation and temozolomide)....
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To compare, in a non-inferiority fashion, the progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with metastatic refractory gastric/gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma receiving the combination of ramucirumab with trifluridine and tipiracil hydrochloride (TAS-102) versus (vs.) paclitaxel and ramucirumab. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess overall survival (OS) in this patient population...
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare the change in inflammatory cytokine levels in study patients treated with curcumin versus placebo over a 12-month follow-up period. II.

Patients with the most common type of bladder cancer are initially treated with chemotherapy with regimens that include a platinum agent such as cisplatin or carboplatin. Once the cancer develops resistance the treatment is changed to an anti PD1/PDL1 immunotherapy with drugs such as pembrolizumab or nivolumab. This study proposes...
