Cancer Clinical Trials in Boston, MA

This study is being done to see if losartan affects the chances of developing radiation-induced heart failure in patients who are receiving radiation therapy as part of standard of care treatment for breast cancer. The interventions involved in this study are: Losartan Radiation Therapy (standard of care) Read Less

This research is being done to see if proton beam radiation therapy (PBT) results in fewer changes to a participant's heart measured with MRI-imaging than conventional or "photon" radiation therapy (XRT) for participants with non-metastatic left sided breast cancer. The names of the two study groups in this research study are: Proton Radiation Therapy (PBT) Conventional or "Photon" Radiation Therapy (XRT) Read Less

This phase III trial compares the effect of adding whole brain radiotherapy with hippocampal avoidance and memantine to stereotactic radiosurgery versus stereotactic radiosurgery alone in treating patients with cancer that has spread to the brain and come back in other areas of the brain after earlier stereotactic radiosurgery. Hippocampus avoidance during whole-brain radiation therapy decreases the amount of radiation that is delivered to the hippocampus, which is a brain structure that is important for memory. The medicine memantine is also often given with whole brain radiation therapy because it may decrease the risk of side effects of radiation on thinking and memory. Stereotactic radiosurgery delivers a high dose of radiation only to the small areas of cancer in the brain and avoids the surrounding normal brain tissue. Adding whole brain radiotherapy with hippocampal avoidance and memantine to stereotactic radiosurgery may be effective in shrinking or stabilizing cancer that has spread to the brain and returned in other areas of the brain after receiving stereotactic radiosurgery.

This is a Phase 1b open-label, 2-part study in 2 treatment groups. The 2 treatment groups are as follows: Treatment Group 1: OP-1250 in combination with ribociclib (KISQALI®, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation). Treatment Group 2: OP-1250 in combination with alpelisib (PIQRAY®, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation). Read Less

This interventional study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ART0380 as monotherapy in patients whose tumors have a biology to predict for sensitivity to inhibition of Ataxia-Telangiectasia Mutated and Rad3-related protein kinase (ATR). Read Less

The investigational drug to be studied in this protocol, BCA101, is a first-in-class compound that targets both EGFR with TGFβ. Based on preclinical data, this bifunctional antibody may exert synergistic activity in patients with EGFR-driven tumors. Read Less

TransCon IL-2 β/γ is an investigational drug being developed for treatment of locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. This is a first-in-human, open-label, Phase 1/2, dose escalation and dose expansion study of TransCon IL-2 β/γ as monotherapy or in combination therapy in adult participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Given the unique PK profile enabled by the TransCon technology, TransCon IL-2 β/γ presents the opportunity to enhance the therapeutic index of current IL-2 therapy. Read Less

This is a Phase 1/2, first-in-human, open-label, dose escalation and dose-expansion study of E-602, administered alone and in combination with cemiplimab. Read Less

This is a Phase IB/II multi-cohort study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of targeted agents with or without cancer immune checkpoint therapy with atezolizumab in participant with recurrent and/or persistent endometrial cancer. The main protocol provides a platform for genomic screening with homogeneous basic eligibility criteria in order to direct study participants into biomarker-matched study cohorts consisting of testing targeted agents.

The researcher are doing this study to find out whether benralizumab is effective at preventing skin rashes caused by alpelisib in people who have metastatic breast cancer. Skin rash is a common side effect of alpelisib. Researchers think adding benralizumab to the standard-of-care hormone treatment and alpelisib may prevent the patient from getting a rash. Read Less

This study is being done to test the safety and effectiveness of combining ZN-c3 and Gemcitabine in participants with pancreatic cancer. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: ZN-c3 (a small molecule inhibitor of the WEE1 tyrosine kinase) Gemcitabine (a nucleoside metabolic inhibitor) Read Less

This Feasibility study is trying to determine: If Lymphoscintigraphy (imaging of the lymphatic drainage patterns) is effective in demonstrating the drainage to the sentinel lymph nodes in patients with inflammatory breast cancer. The likelihood of identifying the sentinel lymph nodes in the operating room, using both blue dye and the radioactive substance used for lymphoscintigraphy. The incidence of lymphedema (arm swelling which occurs after lymph node surgery) in women with inflammatory breast cancer Outcomes for women with inflammatory breast cancer, whether or not the sentinel lymph nodes can be identified.
