Cancer Paid Clinical Trials in Pennsylvania

This is a phase 3, open label, single arm study of padeliporfin in the treatment of Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma (UTUC). The ENLIGHTED study will recruit patients with low-grade non-invasive upper tract urothelial carcinoma in either the kidney or the ureter. Patients will be treated with padeliporfin VTP in two phases: an Induction Treatment Phase and a Maintenance Treatment Phase and will be followed up for up to an additional 48 months in the long term (non intervention) follow up phase with the specific duration depending on the patient's response to treatment Read Less

The purpose of this retrospective and prospective project is to understand the molecular and genetic basis of liver cancer of childhood. Understanding the molecular and genetic bases of liver cancers can offer a better classification based on tumor biology, mechanisms and predisposition. Read Less

The overarching goal of our research is to define an evidence-based, sustainable approach to identifying and managing genetic risk among young adults with cancer and their relatives. Conventional practice leaves referral and testing decisions to mostly non-expert clinicians implementing complex guidelines at the point of care, leading to substantial under-utilization. The investigators hypothesize that panel-based universal screening coupled with electronic medical record- (EMR-) based algorithms can improve ascertainment of genetic risk by functioning as an automated, radically simplified default practice in place of repeated single decisions requiring clinician cognitive effort and action. A secondary goal is to explore differences in ascertainment of genetic risk among first-degree relatives of probands. Read Less

This phase 1 study will investigate the safety, dosing, and initial antitumor activity of JZP815 in participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors harboring alterations in the MAPK pathway. Read Less

This study will assess the safety and efficacy of avutometinib (VS-6766) in combination with sotorasib with or without defactinib in patients with KRAS G12C Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) in patients who have been exposed to prior G12C inhibitor and those who have not been exposed to prior G12C inhibitor.

The goal of this first in human clinical trial is to test BI-1808 administered as single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab in subjects with advanced malignancies whose disease has progressed after standard therapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: * how safe and tolerable is BI-1808 * what is maximum tolerated or administrated dose * to determine recommended dose for further clinical trials. Participants will receive infusions of BI-1808 alone or combination with pembrolizumab every 3 weeks. For the purpose of this study, subjects with advanced malignancies includes subjects with advanced solid tumors and subjects with T-cell lymphoma (TCL), Read Less

The NSS-2 BRIDGE® device (NSS stands for Neuro-Stimulation System) is a disposable device that stimulates the branches of cranial nerves and of the superficial cervical plexus innervating the ear. Because the stimulation of the nerves of the ear by the NSS-2 BRIDGE® device (NBD®) has been shown to modulate pain pathways in rodents, decrease abdominal pain in adolescents with inflammatory bile syndrome and due to the results of our preliminary pilot study, the investigators hypothesized that this technique may also be effective in reducing the requirement for postoperative opioids and provide a non-pharmacological alternative to perioperative opioid use. To establish the role that the stimulation of the nerves of the ear may have in reducing postoperative opioid requirement, the investigators are proposing to conduct a randomized, placebo controlled study in patients undergoing open abdominal or pelvic surgery requiring at least 5 days of hospitalization. Subjects who have signed an informed consent will be randomized in 2 groups (active NBD® group or inactive NBD® group). Furthermore, since preoperative and postoperative mood disorders have been shown to increase postoperative pain levels and opioid requirement by up to 50%, the investigators further hypothesize that the stimulation of the ear nerves by the NSS-2 BRIDGE® effects may be in part mediated by a reduction of the level of anxiety, depression and catastrophizing as assessed using validated questionnaires.

Spermatogonial stem cell transplantation through ultrasound guided rete testis injection and testicular tissue grafting will be performed for participants who have frozen testicular tissue prior to gonadotoxic therapy. The purpose of this study is to test the safety and feasibility of these transplant technologies and restore fertility for these participants. Read Less

This is Phase 1 dose finding trial with potential dose expansion to evaluate the safety, toxicity, recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Neratinib plus TDxD using a standard 3+3 dose escalation design in patients with metastatic or unresectable gastro-esophageal cancer that are HER2-overexpressing (IHC 3+ or IHC2+/ISH+) and any other gastrointestinal cancer with HER2 expression with IHC3+. Patients must have progressed or been intolerant of at least one prior line of chemotherapy + HER2 directed therapy. Read Less

This is a prospective observational registry for patients with invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) of the breast. After the first 1cohort is enrolled, the collected data will be utilized to develop an ILC specific response assessment tool. Read Less

This clinical trial is evaluating tucatinib in combination with Doxil in participants with human epidermal growth factor 2 positive (HER2+) locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. The main goals of this study are to: * Learn how well the combination of tucatinib and Doxil works * Learn more about the side effects of the combination of tucatinib and Doxil Read Less

The purpose of this study is to determine what effects (good and bad) cabozantinib has in treatment of patients with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The hypothesis for this trial is that cabozantinib has anti-tumor activity in a molecularly-selected group of patients with CRPC or patients with liver metastases. Read Less
