Cancer Paid Clinical Trials in New York

This phase III trial compares proton craniospinal irradiation (pCSI) to involved-field radiation therapy (IFRT) for the treatment of breast or non-small cell lung cancer that has spread from where it first started to the cerebrospinal fluid filled space that surrounds the brain and spinal cord (leptomeningeal metastasis). Patients with leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) may develop multiple areas of nervous system (neurologic) impairment that can be life-threatening. Radiation therapy (RT) effectively relieves local symptoms due to LM. RT uses high energy radiography (x-rays), particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. IFRT is commonly used to treat symptoms of LM. IFRT is radiation treatment that uses x-rays to treat specific areas of LM and to relieve and/or prevent symptoms. pCSI uses protons that can be directed with more accuracy than x-rays which allows treatment of the entire central nervous system space containing the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), brain, and spinal cord. The pCSI treatment could delay the worsening of LM. Giving pCSI may be better than IFRT in treating LM in patients with breast or non-small cell lung cancer. Read Less

Phase I/Ib, single arm trial of Two-Fraction Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) with an MRI directed, dominant intraprostatic lesion (DIL), simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) based on genomic classification in the treatment of localized prostate cancer. The primary purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and safety of two fraction SBRT in patients with localized prostate cancer. Read Less

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of the Ion Endoluminal System with real-world use for pulmonary lesion localization or biopsy. Read Less

Phase 1 and 2 trial to study the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of TAS0953/HM06 in patients with advanced solid tumors with RET gene abnormalities. Phase 1 aims to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and identify the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) to be used in phase 2. Read Less

The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) Research Institute is performing this research to accelerate diverse disease research using cells from the body (such as skin or blood cells) to make stem cells and other types of cells, conduct research on the samples, perform genetic testing, and store the samples for future use. Through this research, researchers hope to identify future treatments or even cures for the major diseases of our time. Read Less

This phase 1 study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of CUSP06 in patients with platinum-refractory/resistant ovarian cancer and other advanced solid tumors. Read Less

TIER-PC is an adaptive model of delivering palliative care that provides the right level of care to the right patients at the right time. It represents an adaption of the Mount Sinai PALLIATIVE CARE AT HOME (PC@H) program, which delivers home-based palliative care. TIER-PC increases the number and intensity of disciplines added to the patient's care team as their symptoms worsen and function declines. In Tier 1, patients who are able to care for themselves and no/mild symptoms receive a community health worker (CHW) trained to elicit illness understanding in a culturally competent way. In Tier 2, for patients with poorer function and mild symptoms, a social worker (SW), trained in serious illness communication, joins the CHW to further elicit patients' goals and prognostic understanding while communicating symptom needs to their primary clinician. In Tier 3, as function decreases and symptoms increase, an advance practice nurse (APN) joins the CHW and SW to manage complex symptoms. Finally, in Tier 4, for those older adults with the poorest function and most complex symptoms, a physician joins the team to ensure that the most complex needs (e.g., end-of-life treatment preferences and multifaceted symptom control) are met. The CHW follows patients longitudinally across all tiers and re-allocates them to the appropriate tier based on their evolving needs. Read Less

This is a single-arm Phase II clinical trial assessing the clinical efficacy of prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/MR guided MR-LINAC based SBRT-SIB with planned accrual of 50 patients. Read Less

The purpose of this registry is to evaluate real world experience and outcomes of patients with Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer (UTUC) treated with Jelmyto in the United States. 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.

Dr. Rafael E de la Hoz and colleagues have performed standardized and computer-assisted readings of all chest CT scans received by WTC workers and volunteers at the Mount Sinai Medical Center between 2003 and 2016. The clinical team sought to assess all findings suggestive of airway, interstitial, and neoplastic disease in a systematic way, and correlate those findings with clinical, functional, and exposure indicators. The study team's research will also involve analyses of longitudinal imaging and functional trends, and characterization of the WTC related lower airway diseases and their risk factors, with a focus on obesity-related imaging markers. The study team also plans to characterize the transitions into chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) among these workers. The researchers also propose to test the use of added respiratory surveillance tools and explore functional markers of disease progression, explore alternate methods to investigate longitudinal functional trajectories, and novel spirometry calibration methods that might facilitate the implementation of spirometry in nonspecialized settings.

This is a phase I, First-in-Human (FIH), open-label study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK) profile, and preliminary efficacy of AB248 as monotherapy OR in combination with pembrolizumab in adult participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The study will consist of a dose escalation and a dose expansion stage. Read Less
