Testing the Addition of a New Anti-cancer Drug, Radium-223 Dichloride, to the Usual Treatment (Cabozantinib) for Advanced Renal Cell Cancer That Has Spread to the Bone, RadiCaL Study
Recruiting
This phase II trial studies whether adding radium-223 dichloride to the usual treatment, cabozantinib, improves outcomes in patients with renal cell cancer that has spread to the bone. Radioactive drugs such as radium-223 dichloride may directly target radiation to cancer cells and minimize harm to normal cells. Cabozantinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving radium-223 dichloride and cabozantinib may help lessen the pain and sympto... Read More

Testing the Addition of a New Anti-cancer Drug, M3814 (Peposertib), to the Usual Radiotherapy in Patients With Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
Recruiting
This phase I/II trial studies the safety, side effects and best dose of M3814 and to see how well it works when given together with radiation therapy in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced). M3814 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells and... Read More

A Phase 2 Study of Leronlimab in Combination With TAS-102 + Bevacizumab in Previously Treated Participants With mCRC
Recruiting
This is an open label, randomized, two arm, multi-center study to explore the effect of leronlimab on the overall response rate/ overall survival and safety and tolerability when used in combination with trifluridine and tipiracil + bevacizumab in patients with CCR5+, MSS, mCRC who have progressed on prior treatment before participating in the study. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Can leronlimab, in combination with standard of care therapies trifluridine and tipiracil+ be... Read More

A Study of Cemiplimab Plus Chemotherapy Versus Cemiplimab Plus Chemotherapy Plus Other Cancer Treatments for Adult Patients With Operable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
Recruiting
This study will enroll adult participants with early-stage (stage II-IIIB) non-small cell lung cancer for whom surgery is planned. The aim is to find out whether an investigational treatment (consisting of the immunotherapy drug cemiplimab plus chemotherapy plus a third drug) works better than cemiplimab plus chemotherapy without the additional drug. The study is also looking at several other research questions, including: * What are the side effects associated with the investigational treatm... Read More
