Lymphedema Sensor Technology Development Study
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial in adult patients diagnosed with upper extremity lymphedema is to test the safety and effectiveness of small, wearable sensors that may be able to measure lymphedema. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Do these sensors detect lymphedema? * If so, how accurate are these wearable sensors? Participants will complete one in-person measurement session and one phone call with study staff 14 days after the measurement session to check-in on the partici... Read More

T-DM1 and Tucatinib Compared with T-DM1 Alone in Preventing Relapses in People with High Risk HER2-Positive Breast Cancer, the CompassHER2 RD Trial
Recruiting
This phase III trial studies how well trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) and tucatinib work in preventing breast cancer from coming back (relapsing) in patients with high risk, HER2 positive breast cancer. T-DM1 is a monoclonal antibody, called trastuzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, called DM1. Trastuzumab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as HER2 receptors, and delivers DM1 to kill them. Tucatinib may stop t... Read More

Using MRI to Identify Areas to Receive Lower Doses of Radiation Treatment in Men With Prostate Cancerdose Mapping to Preserve Quality of Life
Recruiting
The purpose of this research is to gather information on the safety and effectiveness of using an imaging technique called magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to decrease radiation dose to the uninvolved prostate (areas of the prostate that do not clearly have cancer cells) while increasing radiation dose to the nodules (hardened areas of the prostate that have cancer cells).

CtDNA Based MRD Testing for NAC Monitoring in TNBC
Recruiting
A prospective, multicenter, observational study to evaluate the correlation of Molecular Residual Disease (MRD) detection using circulating tumor DNA guided test to pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in stage I-III triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Results from this study aim to improve MRD detection and disease outcomes for future patients.

Randomized Phase II Trial of Targeted Radiation With no Castration for Mcrpc
Recruiting
This trial tests if the combination of comprehensive metastasis directed therapy delivered by a precision form of external beam radiotherapy (stereotactic ablative radiotherapy), combined with PSMA targeted radiopharmaceutical therapy and cessation of castration, and then followed by testosterone replacement, is an effective treatment for metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer. All patients will be treated with stereotactic ablative radiotherapy and PSMA targeted radiopharmaceutical th... Read More

Testing Whether the Addition of Carboplatin Chemotherapy to Cabazitaxel Chemotherapy Will Improve Outcomes Compared to Cabazitaxel Alone in People With Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer That Has Spread Beyond the Prostate to Other Parts of the Body
Recruiting
This phase III trial compares the effect of adding carboplatin to the standard of care chemotherapy drug cabazitaxel versus cabazitaxel alone in treating prostate cancer that keeps growing even when the amount of testosterone in the body is reduced to very low levels (castrate-resistant) and that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. Carboplatin works by kill... Read More

Alternate Day Fasting After Surgery for Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy
Recruiting
Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer and ovarian cancer is the most lethal. The management of both advanced cancers is a combination of chemotherapy and surgery. Standard of care chemotherapeutic treatment for uterine and ovarian cancers is toxic and severely disruptive to the patient's quality of life with the potential for devastating short and long-term side effects. The role of fasting and ketogenic diets has been evaluated in a mixed cancer population and previously show... Read More

A Study of Pembrolizumab in Combination With Chemotherapy for Head and Neck Cancer
Recruiting
By doing this study, the research team would like to learn if using a blood test that measures the amount of tumor DNA in blood can help guide how to use chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy for individuals with head and neck cancer. Using this blood test, the research team hopes to learn if intermittent (occasional) chemotherapy added to immunotherapy will work better than immunotherapy alone. Participation in this research will last about two years.
