Cancer Clinical Trials in Boston, MA

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the experimental antibody COM701 delays the progression of ovarian cancer in participants with Relapsed Platinum Sensitive Ovarian Cancer. It will also learn about the safety of COM701. The main questions the trial aims to answer are: * Does COM701, when used as a maintenance treatment, stop or slow the progression of ovarian cancer? * Does COM701 delay the time to needing a new anti-cancer treatment? * What side effects do participants have when taking COM701? Participants will: * Visit the clinic once every 3 weeks during which the study treatment will be administered intravenously * Undergo various tests and procedures to monitor general health throughout the trial including physical examinations, vital sign measurements (heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, and body temperature), weight measurements, electrocardiography (ECG), blood and urine tests and pregnancy tests if relevant. * Undergo various tests and procedures to assess disease response throughout the trial including tumor imaging by CT scans or MRI to assess the tumor, its location, and size, and the testing of a sample of tumor tissue (from a prior biopsy or a fresh biopsy if feasible, to evaluate tumor response to treatment and to measure levels of tumor markers, Read Less

The clinical trial is a phase 1, single-arm trial that will evaluate the safety of the investigational treatment on metastatic cancer in patients who have a deleterious or suspected deleterious BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 genetic alteration. The investigational treatment will involve 2 cycles of a combination of intravenous melphalan, BCNU, low-dose I.V. ethanol, vitamin B12b, and vitamin C in association with autologous hematopoietic stem cell infusion. A dose-escalation schedule will be employed for vitamin C. Read Less

This research study will compare the impact of virtually supervised and unsupervised home-based exercise and diet programs on cognitive and physical function among cancer survivors and support persons. This study will involve a 6-month home-based virtually supervised or unsupervised exercise and diet intervention. The names of the study interventions involved in this study are: * Virtually supervised exercise and healthy diet care * Unsupervised exercise and healthy diet care Read Less

The purpose of ORACLE is to demonstrate the ability of a novel ctDNA assay developed by Guardant Health to detect recurrence in individuals treated for early-stage solid tumors. It is necessary that ctDNA test results are linked to clinical outcomes in order to demonstrate clinical validity for recurrence detection and explore its value in a healthcare environment subject to cost containment.

The purpose of this research study is to test the safety and efficacy of the combination of PD-L1 t-haNK (modified immune cells), N-803 (a manufactured protein that stimulates the immune system), and cetuximab (a targeted antibody) in treating advanced head and neck cancer. The names of the therapies involved in this study are: * PD-L1 t-haNK cell therapy (a NK cell therapy infusion) * N-803 (a type of recombinant human superagonist) * Cetuximab (a type of antibody) Read Less

The purpose of this study is to find out whether the study drug, LY4052031, is safe, tolerable and effective in participants with advanced, or metastatic solid tumors including urothelial cancer. The study is conducted in two parts - phase Ia (dose-escalation, dose-optimization) and phase Ib (dose-expansion). The study will last up to approximately 4 years. Read Less

This phase II trial tests how well an imaging procedure called fludeoxyglucose F-18 (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) works in predicting response to standard of care chemotherapy prior to surgery in patients with HER2-positive stage IIa-IIIc breast cancer. FDG is a radioactive tracer that is given in a vein before PET/CT imaging and helps to identify areas of active cancer. PET and CT are imaging techniques that make detailed, computerized pictures of areas inside the body. The use of FDG-PET/CT may help doctors better decide if a patient needs more or less treatment before surgery in order to get the best response. This study evaluates whether FDG-PET/CT is useful in predicting a patient's response to standard of care chemotherapy. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and tolerability of ALTA2618 in adults with AKT1 E17K-mutant advanced solid tumors. Read Less

This study will test the safety, including side effects, and determine the characteristics of a drug called Rina-S in participants with solid tumors. Participants will have solid tumor cancer that has spread through the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed with surgery (unresectable). Read Less

High blood pressure (hypertension) is a known side effect of the treatment with fruquintinib. Current research does not provide a clear answer whether minority groups such as Black/African American and/or Hispanic/Latino with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) have a bigger risk of higher blood pressure after treatment with fruquintinib. The main aim of this study is to learn how often adults of a minority group experience hypertension after they have been treated with fruquintinib for refractory mCRC. Other aims are to learn how safe fruquintinib is and how well it is tolerated by participants. Participants will receive fruquintinib in 4-week treatment cycles until their condition worsens, they do no longer tolerate the treatment or stop the treatment for other reasons. After the last treatment, participants will be checked upon every 3 months until study completion. Read Less

This research study is a randomized controlled trial that will observe changes in microbiome activity, changes in chemotherapy toxicity, and any changes in treatment outcomes between two groups of participants undergoing chemotherapy with either early-stage or metastatic colorectal cancer. The names of the study groups involved in this study are: * Exercise * Waitlist Control Read Less

This is a first-in-human, Phase 1/2, open-label, dose escalation, dose expansion and combination study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of Peluntamig (PT217) as a monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapy. Read Less
