Two Studies for Patients With High Risk Prostate Cancer Testing Less Intense Treatment for Patients With a Low Gene Risk Score and Testing a More Intense Treatment for Patients With a High Gene Risk Score, The PREDICT-RT Trial
Recruiting
This phase III trial compares less intense hormone therapy and radiation therapy to usual hormone therapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with high risk prostate cancer and low gene risk score. This trial also compares more intense hormone therapy and radiation therapy to usual hormone therapy and radiation therapy in patients with high risk prostate cancer and high gene risk score. Apalutamide may help fight prostate cancer by blocking the use of androgen by the tumor cells. Radiatio... Read More

Comparing Sentinel Lymph Node (SLN) Biopsy With Standard Neck Dissection for Patients With Early-Stage Oral Cavity Cancer
Recruiting
This phase II/III trial studies how well sentinel lymph node biopsy works and compares sentinel lymph node biopsy surgery to standard neck dissection as part of the treatment for early-stage oral cavity cancer. Sentinel lymph node biopsy surgery is a procedure that removes a smaller number of lymph nodes from your neck because it uses an imaging agent to see which lymph nodes are most likely to have cancer. Standard neck dissection, such as elective neck dissection, removes many of the lymph nod... Read More

Preoperative PRRT Versus Surgical Cytoreduction in Metastatic Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors to the Liver
Recruiting
Doctors and researchers leading this study hope to learn more about peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) in combination with cytoreduction (surgically removing tumors). They hope to learn if combining PRRT in combination with cytoreduction would be more effective than cytoreduction alone. PRRT itself is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for people with PanNETs however the combination with cytoreduction is considered experimental. Your participation in this research... Read More

Detecting HPV DNA in Anal and Cervical Cancers
Recruiting
This is a research study for individuals who have cancer associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) and are being treated with radiation as part of standard care for their cancer. Doctors leading this study will use blood tests to find out if they can detect the HPV virus in the blood of study participants before, during, and after radiation treatment. They will also collect blood and archival tumor tissue (from a previous biopsy) to perform other tests in the future that could provide more info... Read More

The PhOCus Trial: Implementation of Pharmacogenomic Testing in Oncology Care
Recruiting
Doctors leading this study hope to find out if giving study participants' genetic information to cancer care providers will help personalize chemotherapy dosing decisions and decrease common chemotherapy side effects. Doctors leading the study will collect genetic information from study participants using pharmacogenomics/genotyping. Pharmacogenomics is the study of how the differences in our genes can affect our unique response to medications. This is a randomized study, which means that parti... Read More

Phase IIB Trial of Bazedoxifene Plus Conjugated Estrogens
Recruiting
Women at risk for development of breast cancer and experiencing vasomotor menopausal symptoms (hot flashes) will be randomized to bazedoxifene (BZA) plus conjugated estrogens (CE) for 6 months versus a wait list control. Two risk factors for development of breast cancer will be studied pre-study and after 6 months: fibroglandular volume (FGV) on mammogram as assessed by Volpara software and proliferation by Ki-67 immunocytochemistry in benign breast tissue acquired by random periareolar fine nee...

PROGRESS Trial - Prophylactic Gabapentin for Relief of Symptoms and Improved Swallowing
Recruiting
Enrollment is only available to patients enrolled on the Optima II study (NCT03107182). The purpose of this trial is to compare rates of opioid use at completion of radiation for patients with Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade ≥ 2 oral mucositis after receiving definitive nonoperative locoregional therapy with or without prophylactic gabapentin as part of best supportive care for locoregionally-advanced, HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer.
