A Trial to Find Out if REGN4336 is Safe and How Well it Works Alone and in Combination With Cemiplimab or REGN5678 for Adult Participants With Advanced Prostate Cancer
Recruiting
This study is researching an investigational drug called REGN4336. Some participants may receive additional investigational drugs in combination with REGN4336. These additional drugs include REGN5678, cemiplimab and sarilumab. The main purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability (how the body reacts to the drug) and effectiveness of REGN4336 alone, in combination with cemiplimab, or in combination with REGN5678. REGN4336, cemiplimab and REGN5678 are a type of treatment for ca... Read More

Microneedle Array Plus Doxorubicin in Cutaneous Squamous Cell Cancer (cSCC)
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to test a new method of experimental treatment for cutaneous squamous cell skin cancer, using small adhesive-like patches (a micro-needle applicator or MNA for short), which have dozens of very small micro-needles loaded with extremely low doses of doxorubicin, a chemotherapy agent. The overall goal of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of these patches. The investigators have established the highest tolerated dose at 50 micrograms in a previous study...

Rectal Spacer for Prostate Cancer Radiation Image Guidance
Recruiting
The purpose of the study is to determine if a radiopaque hydrogel rectal spacer, SpaceOAR Vue®, can be used in place of fiducial markers when aligning patients for radiotherapy. The investigator hypothesizes that the alignment of the patient based on the rectal spacer will be similar to the alignment of the patient with fiducial markers.

Assessing Patient Satisfaction and Confidence After Use of Educational Video to Augment Surgical Consent for Thyroid Surgery
Recruiting
This study looks at how a short educational video can help people better understand thyroid surgery. Patients who have thyroid nodules and need surgery will be part of the study. Some patients will get the usual information from their doctor, while others will also watch a video that explains the surgery in a simple and clear way. The study will check if the video helps patients feel more confident about their decision, lowers anxiety, and helps them remember important information about their su... Read More

S1703 Serum Tumor Marker Directed Disease Monitoring in Patients With Hormone Receptor Positive Her2 Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer
Recruiting
This randomized research trial studies how well serum tumor marker directed disease monitoring works in monitoring patients with hormone receptor positive Her2 negative breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Using markers to prompt when scans should be ordered may be as good as the usual approach to monitoring disease.
