Cancer Paid Clinical Trials in Maryland

This phase II trial studies how well TPIV100 and sargramostim work in treating patients with HER2 positive, stage II-III breast cancer that has residual disease after chemotherapy prior to surgery. It also studies why some HER2 positive breast cancer patients respond better to chemotherapy in combination with trastuzumab and pertuzumab. TPIV100 is a type of vaccine made from HER2 peptide that may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells that express HER2. Sargramostim increases the number of white blood cells in the body following chemotherapy for certain types of cancer and is used to alert the immune system. It is not yet known if TPIV100 and sargramostim will work better in treating patients with HER2 positive, stage II-III breast cancer. Read Less

Exercise rehabilitation has the potential as a non-pharmacological approach to reduce persistent neuropathic pain in Veterans with lung cancer. By examining the effects of exercise training in Veteran cancer survivors with NSCLC, there is the potential to revolutionize care for a: common, debilitating, and inadequately treated symptom in a growing population. This could lead to a larger investigation to fill critical gaps in the literature and at the same time help discover a new model of care for Veterans with chronic pain. The ultimate goal is to reduce this type of pain for the growing population of cancer survivors while simultaneously reducing the need for problematic opioid management. Read Less

Surgical implantation of Lyopreserved Placental Tissue (LPT) is FDA approved and has been used extensively in wound care. The use is expanding and more recently, LPT has been used in the management of diabetic foot ulcers, acute and chronic surgical wounds, various fistulas and even as a nerve wrap on the common peroneal nerve. Surgical technique for nerve-sparing prostatectomy has evolved continuously since first described by Walsh in 1982 and is now commonly performed with robotic assistance. The investigators intend to study whether placement of LPT over the spared neurovascular bundle during nerve-sparing robotic prostatectomy will improve return to potency and/or continence after robotic radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. Patients with a preoperative Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) score > 19 (moderate or high pre-op sexual function) planning to undergo robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy will be randomized to receive direct placement of LPT over the preserved neurovascular bundles vs standard of care. Patients will independently report erectile function and continence at 1 months, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after surgery. Primary outcomes would include mean time to achieve potency, percentage of group achieving potency at each time point, and mean change in SHIM score. Secondary outcomes would include mean time to achieve continence. The investigators will also report any adverse events. Read Less

PROMISE aims to create a comprehensive nationwide registry of prostate cancer patients with germline pathogenic variants by prospectively screening approximately 5,000 subjects with a confirmed prostate cancer diagnosis, either through tissue biopsy, PSA greater than 100 ng/dL and/or radiographic evidence of disease and receiving systemic therapy for prostate cancer. Patients at all stages of disease will be welcome to participate in the PROMISE Registry. Participants will be recruited & screened over a five-year period. Study participants will be asked to provide a saliva sample to be tested for germline cancer risk variants through Color Health. If the results identify a pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant, an appointment with a genetic counselor from Color Health will be scheduled to discuss the results. Participants will complete a baseline demographic survey that includes self-reported health history, family history of cancer and standardized patient reported outcome (PRO) measures. PROMISE Registry staff will request medical records from the participant's cancer care provider(s) for the purpose of obtaining clinical data. Participants will receive bi-annual newsletters offering information on new developments in treatment and research opportunities, including clinical trials, associated with genetic variants. Eligible participants (those with target germline mutations) will be followed every 6 months to obtain updated health records data and patient-reported outcomes data. Participants will be followed for a minimum of 15 years. The PROMISE registry will help identify prostate cancer patients with pathogenic variants to learn more about how these variants affect patient outcomes. Ultimately, we hope to help patients learn more about their disease and the treatments that they may derive the most benefit from, including the germline genetic biomarker-based clinical trials they may be eligible for.

Phase 2 randomized controlled multi-center study of IS-002, in conjunction with near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging, for identification of prostate cancer during robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) with (extended) pelvic lymph node dissection ((e)PLND) using the da Vinci® X/Xi Surgical System with Firefly® Fluorescence Imaging.

The goal of the Phase 1 portion is to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the recommended doses for expansion (RDEs) of NKT2152. The Phase 2 portion will evaluate the efficacy of NKT2152 in ccRCC. Read Less

This is a Phase II, open-label, 2-arm, multicenter, international study designed to evaluate the efficacy of zenocutuzumab alone or in combination in patients with the following diagnoses: Group A: NRG1+ NSCLC Group B: mCRPC Read Less

The purpose of this study is to create a registry to provide insight into treatment selection and treatment outcome of pancreatic IRE in order to develop an evidence base such that physicians can provide the best possible care to patients with pancreatic cancer requiring surgical interventions. The investigators seek a better understanding of the uses of ablation in the treatment of unresectable soft tissue pancreatic tumors and the limitations, concerns and complications that earlier users have.

This is a Phase I/Ib dose escalation, dose expansion, study to evaluate the safety and identify the recommended dose of modified immune cells PRGN-3005 (autologous chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells developed by Precigen, Inc.) in treating patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has spread to other places in the body, that has come back and is resistant to platinum chemotherapy. Autologous CAR T cells are modified immune cells that have been engineered in the laboratory to specifically target a protein found on tumor cells and kill them. Read Less

Study RGX-104-001 is a Phase 1, first-in-human, dose escalation and expansion study of RGX-104, an oral small molecule targeting the liver X receptor (LXR), as a single agent and in combination with nivolumab, ipilimumab, docetaxel, or pembrolizumab plus carboplatin/pemetrexed. Read Less
