Cancer Paid Clinical Trials in New York

Determining the etiology of cardiomyopathy is of high clinical importance for optimal treatment strategy and prediction of prognosis. There is increased risk for cardiovascular disease and higher propensity for cardiovascular related mortality among Black and non-Hispanic White patients. Recently, advanced cardiac imaging has become a vital tool in diagnosis and risk stratification of cardiovascular disease. Very limited data is available on the prevalence and characteristics of different cardiovascular diseases in Hispanic and African American minority groups, therefore, studying different racial and ethnic minority groups in the Bronx population is an exceptionally valuable source to determine the prevalence of cardiomyopathies among minority groups along with study survival in this population. This study aims to determine the etiology of cardiovascular disease in a diverse patient population by utilizing various cardiovascular imaging modalities, with a focus on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and to develop risk stratification models by applying advanced cardiovascular imaging markers.

To determine the efficacy of a multicomponent adherence intervention among participants with early-stage breast cancer on endocrine therapy and at least one oral cardiovascular disease (CVD) medication on adherence to endocrine therapy and to CVD medication at 24 weeks assessed by self-report using the Domains of Subjective Extent (DOSE)-Nonadherence questionnaire and also by pharmacy fill data assessed in the electronic health record (EHR).

This is a Phase 1/2A study of GV20-0251 being developed for the treatment of participants with advanced solid tumors, who are refractory to approved therapies or other standard of care. Read Less

This phase II trial evaluates how well transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) works for treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer or lung metastases. TACE is a minimally invasive procedure that involves injecting chemotherapy directly into an artery that supplies blood to tumors, and then blocking off the blood supply to the tumors. Mitomycin (chemotherapy), Lipiodol (drug carrier), and Embospheres (small plastic beads that block off the artery) are injected into the tumor-feeding artery. This traps the chemotherapy inside the tumor and also cuts off the tumor\'s blood supply. As a result, the tumor is exposed to a high dose of chemotherapy, and is also deprived of nutrients and oxygen. TACE can be effective at controlling or stopping the growth of lung tumors. Read Less

Phase 1/2 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of SNS-101, a novel anti VISTA IgG1 monoclonal antibody as monotherapy or in combination with cemiplimab in patients with advanced solid tumors. Read Less

The proposed study is to investigate the feasibility of using quantitative diffusion MRI (dMRI) methods for accurate and comprehensive assessment of treatment response. dMRI is a powerful tool to probe treatment-induced change in tumors. It is a unique in vivo imaging technique sensitive to cellular microstructures at the scale of water diffusion length on the order of a few microns. Previous studies have shown that both diffusion coefficient D and diffusional kurtosis coefficient K are promising imaging markers of (i) cell viability which can be used for evaluation of early treatment response. However, it is often underappreciated that these dMRI metrics are not fixed constants, but rather functions of the diffusion time t, D(t) and K(t); their t-dependency is determined by tissue properties, such as cell size and membrane permeability of tissue. D(t) and K(t) of tumors can vary substantially depending on t in the range of diffusion times (30-100 ms) typically used in clinical scan. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to see whether using the 64Cu-NOTA-PSMA-PEG-Cy5.5-C' dot tracer is a safe way to identify tumor cells before and during surgery for prostate cancer. The researchers want to find out whether PET/MRI scans done after the injection of this investigational tracer are more accurate than the usual imaging scans used to locate deposits of prostate tumor cells. The researchers will study how the tracer travels through your body and where it is distributed. This study is the first time that this tracer will be used in people who are undergoing surgery for prostate cancer. Read Less

The PROACT LUNG study is a prospective multi-center observational study to validate a blood-based test for the early detection of lung cancer by collecting blood samples from high-risk participants who will undergo a routine, standard-of-care screening Low-Dose Computed Tomography (LDCT).

The purpose of this study is to isolate and analyze exosomes, which are tiny carriers of important proteins and nucleic acids that serve as messenger systems in the blood and tissue. Blood and tissue from patients with pancreatic cancer will be compared with blood and tissue from patients with noncancerous pancreatic disease. Including patients without cancer will allow the investigators to establish "normal" values, which currently do not exist. The investigators will then look to see whether exosome activity has a connection to disease recurrence and outcomes in patients. The results of this study will be the basis for future studies exploring this area. Read Less

This is a multi-site, open-label, Phase II, randomized, trial to compare the efficacy of RO7198457 versus watchful waiting in patients with circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) positive, surgically resected Stage II/III rectal cancer, or Stage II (high risk)/Stage III colon cancer. Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to measure the toxicity and effectiveness of the following treatments for cFIR/cgUIR prostate cancer patients. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) alone or Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) combined with Ultrashort GNRH Antagonist called Relugolix (an oral drug). Treatments will be randomly assigned to study patients. The main questions it aims to answer are the following: 1. Whether the proportion of men who undergo SUGAR have a superior rate of attaining PSA nadir of \<= 0.2 compared to SBRT alone, and 2. Whether SUGAR is superior to historical rates of minimal clinically important decline (MCID) in sexual and hormonal function at 6 months for patients undergoing 6 months of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) Men aged 18+ with cFIR/cgUIR will be enrolled. Specifically, patients must meet one of the following 2 criteria: 1) Gleason score must be Gleason 3+4 with a PSA \< 20 ng/mL, or 2) Gleason 6 (3+3) and PSA \> 10 ng/mL and \< 20 ng mL. Read Less

The goal of this study is to obtain safety data, establish dose parameters, and effectiveness of treatment for the SpectraCure P18 System with IDOSE®, together with verteporfin for injection (VFI) as photosensitizer, for the treatment of primary localized prostate cancer. The study will be divided into two parts, with Phase I, dose-escalation, to study safety and establish an effective light dose, followed by Phase II, cohort expansion, to evaluate clinical efficacy and confirm safety/tolerability. The subjects will be followed for a period of 18 months to determine the primary outcome. The long-term follow-up is an additional 18 months, i.e. a total of 36 months. Interstitial Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) will be performed during general anesthesia. Optical fibers will be inserted into the prostate with a transperineal approach using transrectal ultrasound guidance. The intent is to deliver an adequate light dose throughout the prostate. Subjects will receive VFI intravenously, approximately 60-90 minutes prior to light delivery. Read Less
