Cancer Clinical Trials in Dallas, TX

eRapa (encapsulated rapamycin) will be investigated for secondary prevention in patients with diagnosed non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) through a phase II double-blind randomized controlled trial of long-term (one year) prevention with eRapa versus placebo. The primary hypothesis is that eRapa decreases the risk of cancer relapse for patients with NMIBC. Secondary hypotheses are that eRapa can improve certain immune parameters and improve cognition and physical function without adversely affecting patient-reported outcomes and quality of life.

This clinical trial is an open label Phase II study of the combination of intravenously administered SGT-53 and gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer. The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, toxicity and efficacy (specifically Progression Free Survival at 5.5 month (PFS5.5mos)) of this combination therapy. Read Less

1.1. Primary Objectives To determine if MRI DWIBS can accurately identify suspicious lesions previously categorized on mammography and sonography as potentially malignant. We will also validate whether DWIBS-MRI ADC values can be used to accurately differentiate benign from malignant lesions. Additionally, because it is not known whether tumor type or growth rate (Ki67 values) will affect our results, we will include these parameters in our analysis. Once we validate the use of DWIBS-MRI ADC values to determine malignancy, can we establish an ADC threshold value to decrease the number of false positive biopsies that are performed while still maintaining a zero false negative rate? This study will also assess the correlation between ADC values and the Ki-67 proliferative index of malignant lesions. Read Less
