Cancer Clinical Trials in Kansas City, KS

This phase III trial studies how well carvedilol works in preventing cardiac toxicity in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)-2-positive breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body. A beta-blocker, such as carvedilol, is used to treat heart failure and high blood pressure, and it may prevent the heart from side effects of chemotherapy. Read Less

Observational, Multicenter, Post-market, Minimal risk, Prospective data collection of PillCam SB3 videos (including PillCam reports) and raw data files and optional collection of Eneteroscopy reports Read Less

To test whether it is feasible to perform the 3D-EX functional predictive response bioassay in the context of patients with advanced/metastatic NSCLC receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors in the standard of care clinical setting. Read Less

This is a multi-cohort single arm phase II/screening trial of the combination of a fusion protein that binds EphrinB2 and blocks interaction with cell surface EphB receptors (sEphB4-HSA) in combination with an anti-PD1 antibody (MK-7435 / Pembrolizumab) for treatment of patients with specific solid tumors. There will be four cohorts in this trial: Cohort A, phase II 2nd line trial of sEphB4-HSA and pembrolizumab for platinum refractory metastatic urothelial carcinoma. Cohort B, phase II 3rd line trial of sEphB4-HSA and pembrolizumab for platinum refractory metastatic urothelial carcinoma. Cohort C, phase II neoadjuvant trial of sEphB4-HSA and pembrolizumab for locally advanced muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma. Cohort D, phase II neoadjuvant trial of sEphB4-HSA and pembrolizumab for locally advanced prostate cancer. Read Less

This trial will provide the maximum tolerated dose for radiation therapy for liver tumors and describe the toxicity profile using the vGRID therapy technique. Based on trials using this type of radiation in other cancers demonstrating low toxicity rates even with very high radiation doses and high efficacy, it is likely that vGRID therapy in this trial will be well tolerated and allow dose escalation beyond currently common doses for liver tumors.

The hypothesis for this study is that hypofractionated IMRT to 62.5 Gy in 25 fractions (2.5 Gy/fraction) with concurrent carboplatin and paclitaxel, followed by maintenance durvalumab will improve locoregional control at 18 months by 10% compared to standard-fractionated chemo-IMRT/durvalumab. A modest improvement in locoregional control (LRC) was selected as a target which could merit further study of this hypofractionated IMRT regimen in a Phase III trial Read Less

This study will assess the efficacy of an innovative point of service cancer genetics counseling delivery model for metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients whom have received a referral for hereditary cancer genetic counseling and testing. Read Less

A Phase II Open-Label Study of Enfortumab Vedotin in Patients with Previously Treated Locally Advanced, Recurrent, or Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma (EPIC) Read Less

PROGECT is a registry for patients with Triple Negative breast cancer (TNBC) or patients who have an identified germline mutations (such as a mutation on the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes). Read Less

This study will evaluate the use of Heated Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) for primary treatment of ovarian cancer at the time of surgical debulking, to assess if intravenous (IV) chemotherapy can be started within 42 days of HIPEC and cytoreduction. All patients will receive cytoreductive surgery followed by a one-time closed HIPEC with cisplatin at 41-43 degrees Celsius for 90 minutes in the operating room. This is followed by 6 cycles of intravenous carboplatin and paclitaxel on an outpatient basis. Read Less

This study evaluates the clinical benefit of TAS-102 in participants with metastatic urothelial carcinoma who are resistant to cisplatin or carboplatin front-line and checkpoint inhibitors as second line therapy. All participants will receive TAS-102 in oral form twice per day on Days 1-5 and Days 8-12 of each 28 day cycle. Read Less
