Cancer Clinical Trials in Birmingham, AL

This is a Phase III open-label study to assess if camizestrant improves outcomes compared to standard endocrine therapy in patients with ER+/HER2 - early breast cancer with intermediate or high risk for disease recurrence who completed definitive locoregional therapy (with or without chemotherapy) and standard adjuvant endocrine therapy (ET) for at least 2 years and up to 5 years. The planned duration of treatment in either arm of the study is 60 months. Read Less

This is an open-label, multicenter, extension study. Patients who are receiving clinical benefit from atezolizumab monotherapy or atezolizumab in combination with other agent(s) or comparator agent(s) during participation in a Genentech or Roche-sponsored study (the parent study), who are eligible to continue treatment and who do not have access to the study treatment locally, may continue to receive study treatment in this extension study following roll-over from the parent study.

This trial studies how well paclitaxel, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab work in eliminating further chemotherapy after surgery in patients with HER2-positive stage II-IIIa breast cancer who have no cancer remaining at surgery (either in the breast or underarm lymph nodes) after pre-operative chemotherapy and HER2-targeted therapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Trastuzumab and pertuzumab are both a form of "targeted therapy" because they work by attaching themselves to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of tumor cells, known as HER2 receptors. When these drugs attach to HER2 receptors, the signals that tell the cells to grow are blocked and the tumor cell may be marked for destruction by the body's immune system. Giving paclitaxel, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab may enable fewer chemotherapy drugs to be given without compromising patient outcomes compared to the usual treatment. Read Less

The purpose of the study is to find out if a self-administered (by the patient) Papanicolaou (Pap) smear is as accurate as a traditional Pap smear administered by a healthcare provider. Read Less

The main purpose of this study is to: Learn about the safety of REGN4018 and to find out what dose of REGN4018 can be given alone or with cemiplimab to patients with ovarian cancer or cancer of the uterus The study will also look at the levels of REGN4018 and/or cemiplimab in your body and measure how well your body can remove the study drug(s). This is called pharmacokinetics The study will also look at any signs that REGN4018 alone or with cemiplimab can treat recurrent advanced ovarian cancer or cancer of the uterus To find out how safe and tolerable the sarilumab pretreatment is, in combination with REGN4018 and cemiplimab Read Less

GEMINI-Hepatobiliary study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of novel immunomodulators alone and in combination with other anticancer drugs in participants with specified advanced solid tumors. Read Less

Background: Endometrial cancer is a common and deadly cancer for women. It is getting more common and deadly because risk factors like age and obesity are increasing. It is highly curable if it is identified early. But there may be no symptoms early or they may be missed. Also, this cancer is becoming more common and deadly for black women than white women. Researchers want to find better ways to take samples and test them for this cancer. They want to study this for a racially diverse population. One way to take samples might be from a tampon. Objective: To see if it is possible and acceptable to collect an endometrial sample from women by using a tampon placed in the vagina. Eligibility: Women at least 45 years old who are having a hysterectomy Design: Participants will put a tampon in their vagina at least 30 minutes before their surgery. Participants will take a short survey. The tampon will be collected during the surgery. A small piece of tissue will be collected from the uterus that is removed in surgery. Participants will give a blood sample. Before or after surgery, participants will answer questions. These will be about their medical history and basic data such as age and race. Researchers will follow participants medical records for up to 3 years after the study. Researchers will study the samples and tampons. They will compare how well cancer and other markers are detected between the samples. Read Less

This is a Phase Ib/IIb, randomized, two-cohort, open-label, multicenter study of intravesical N-803 plus BCG versus BCG alone, in BCG naïve patients with high-grade NMIBC. Read Less

The primary goal of this project is to determine the effects of exercise on the gut microbiome in breast cancer survivors and determine how these changes may relate to psychosocial symptoms such as fatigue. Read Less

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, drug levels, molecular effects, and clinical activity of MRTX849 (adagrasib) in patients with advanced solid tumors that have a KRAS G12C mutation. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that treatment with BMS-986012 in combination with carboplatin, etoposide, and nivolumab will have acceptable safety and tolerability and will improve progression-free survival compared with carboplatin, etoposide, and nivolumab alone in newly diagnosed participants with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC).

This phase III trial compares perioperative chemotherapy (given before and after surgery) versus adjuvant chemotherapy (given after surgery) for the treatment of pancreatic cancer that can be removed by surgery (removable/resectable). Chemotherapy drugs, such as fluorouracil, irinotecan, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving chemotherapy before and after surgery (perioperatively) may work better in treating patients with pancreatic cancer compared to giving chemotherapy after surgery (adjuvantly). Read Less
