Testing Osimertinib as a Treatment for Lung Cancers With an EGFR Exon 20 Change
Recruiting
This phase II trial studies how well osimertinib works in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation that is stage IIIB-IV or has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Osimertinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

CAR-T Long Term Follow Up (LTFU) Study
Recruiting
Per Health Authorities guidelines for gene therapy medicinal products that utilize integrating vectors (e.g. lentiviral vectors), long term safety and efficacy follow up of treated patients is required. The purpose of this study is to monitor all patients exposed to CAR-T therapied for 15 years following their last CAR-T (e.g. CTL019) infusion to assess the risk of delayed adverse events (AEs), monitor for replication competent lentivirus (RCL) and assess long-term efficacy, including vector per...

Using Nivolumab Alone or With Cabozantinib to Prevent Mucosal Melanoma Return After Surgery
Recruiting
This phase II trial tests whether nivolumab in combination with cabozantinib works in patients with mucosal melanoma. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals tumor cells to multiply.

BiCaZO: A Study Combining Two Immunotherapies (Cabozantinib and Nivolumab) to Treat Patients With Advanced Melanoma or Squamous Cell Head and Neck Cancer, an immunoMATCH Pilot Study
Recruiting
This phase II trial studies the good and bad effects of the combination of drugs called cabozantinib and nivolumab in treating patients with melanoma or squamous cell head and neck cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune...

Study of Patritumab Deruxtecan With Other Anticancer Agents in Participants With HER2 Positive Breast Cancer That Has Spread and Cannot Be Surgically Removed (MK-1022-009)
Recruiting
Researchers want to learn if patritumab deruxtecan (MK-1022) can treat certain breast cancers. The breast cancers being studied are HER2 positive unresectable locally advanced or metastatic (the cancer has spread to other parts of the body). The goals of this study are to learn: * About the safety and how well people tolerate of patritumab deruxtecan * How many people have the cancer respond (get smaller or go away) to treatment

Study of Intralesional Cemiplimab in Adult Patients With Early Stage Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Recruiting
This study will test a study drug called cemiplimab to see if it can help treat early-stage cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC), a type of skin cancer. Cemiplimab works by helping the immune system to kill cancer cells. It binds to a protein called programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) on the surface of certain immune cells. The main purpose of this study is to compare how well cemiplimab works compared to surgery, when injected into the lesion. The study is looking at: * The side effects cemip... Read More

Evaluating the Expression Levels of MicroRNA-10b in Patients With Gliomas
Recruiting
MicroRNAs (miRNA) are molecular biomarkers that post-transcriptionally control target genes. Deregulated miRNA expression has been observed in diverse cancers. In high grade gliomas, known as glioblastomas, the investigators have identified an oncogenic miRNA, miRNA-10b (mir-10b) that is expressed at higher levels in glioblastomas than in normal brain tissue. This study tests the hypothesis that in primary glioma samples mir-10b expression patterns will serve as a prognostic and diagnostic marke... Read More
