Radiation Therapy With or Without Cisplatin in Treating Patients With Stage III-IVA Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck Who Have Undergone Surgery
NCT02734537
Recruiting
This phase II trial studies how well radiation therapy with or without cisplatin works in treating patients with stage III-IVA squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck who have undergone surgery. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, 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. It is not yet kno... Read More

Comparison of Chemotherapy Before and After Surgery Versus After Surgery Alone for the Treatment of Gallbladder Cancer
NCT04559139
Recruiting
This phase II/III trial compares the effect of adding chemotherapy before and after surgery versus after surgery alone (usual treatment) in treating patients with stage II-III gallbladder cancer. Chemotherapy drugs, such as gemcitabine and cisplatin, 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 surgery may make the tumor smaller; therefore, may reduce the exten... Read More

Crizotinib in Treating Patients With Stage IB-IIIA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer That Has Been Removed by Surgery and ALK Fusion Mutations (An ALCHEMIST Treatment Trial)
NCT02201992
Recruiting
This randomized phase III trial studies how well crizotinib works in treating patients with stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that has been removed by surgery and has a mutation in a protein called anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). Mutations, or changes, in ALK can make it very active and important for tumor cell growth and progression. Crizotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the ALK protein from working. Crizotinib may be an effective treatment for patients with non-sma... Read More

MRI Risk Maps for Prostate Cancer Diagnosis Using Targeted Biopsy
NCT05710380
Recruiting
Doctors leading this study hope to learn about a software that researchers at the University of Chicago have developed to help analyze radiographic images (different techniques for taking images that allow doctors to visualize the body's internal structures) of the prostate. Participation in this research will last about 12 months. There is a one-time MRI and 1-2 biopsies and then the investigator would like to follow the participant's progress.

SurvivorLink: Scalability of an Electronic Personal Health Record
NCT03543852
Recruiting
Previous research suggests that children and adolescents with cancer are at heightened risk of late effects that can occur months or years after cancer treatment, yet little is known about programs that increase their return for follow-up cancer care and late effects surveillance. This study will evaluate the impact of an electronic personal health record and education system, SurvivorLink, for pediatric cancer survivors and their caregivers. The researchers will develop a standardized intervent... Read More

A PD-1 Checkpoint Inhibitor (Cemiplimab) for High-Risk Localized, Locally Recurrent, or Regionally Advanced Skin Cancer
NCT04315701
Recruiting
This phase II trial studies how well cemiplimab before surgery works in treating patients with skin cancer that is high-risk and has not spread to other parts of the body (localized), has come back locally (locally recurrent), or has spread regionally (regionally advanced), and can be removed by surgery (resectable). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as cemiplimab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spre... Read More

A Study of Fedratinib With IDH Inhibition in Advanced-Phase, IDH-Mutated Ph-Negative Myeloproliferative Neoplasms
NCT04955938
Recruiting
The purpose of this research is to gather information on the safety and effectiveness of fedratinib (a drug called a "jak inhibitor" ) in combination with ivosidenib or enasidenib (two anti-cancer drugs). While all three drugs are FDA-approved for various conditions, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved the combination of these drugs for the treatment of rare blood cancers that present Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutations, and therefore these drugs can only be given in...
