Cancer Clinical Trials in San Antonio, TX

This phase II/III trial compares the effect of adding chemotherapy before and after surgery versus after surgery alone (usual treatment) in treating patients with stage II-III gallbladder cancer. Chemotherapy drugs, such as gemcitabine and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller; therefore, may reduce the extent of surgery. Additionally, it may make it easier for the surgeon to distinguish between normal and cancerous tissue. Giving chemotherapy after surgery may kill any remaining tumor cells. This study will determine whether giving chemotherapy before surgery increases the length of time before the cancer may return and whether it will increase a patient's life span compared to the usual approach.

The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and effects of giving vepdegestrant along with PF-07220060. Vepdegestrant is studied to see if it can be a possible treatment for advanced metastatic breast cancer. This type of cancer would have spread from where it started (breast) to other parts of the body and would be tough to treat. The study is seeking for participants who have breast cancer that: * is hard to treat (advanced) and may have spread to other organs (metastatic). * is sensitive to hormonal therapy (it is called estrogen receptor positive). * is no longer responding to treatments taken before starting this study. All the participants will receive vepdegestrant and PF-07220060. Both medicines will be taken by mouth. The medicines will be taken at home. The experience of people receiving the study medicines will be studied. This will help see if the study medicines are safe and effective. Participants will continue to take vepdegestrant and PF-07220060 until: * their cancer is no longer responding, or * side effects become too severe. They will have visits at the study clinic about every 4 weeks. Read Less

This study investigates if circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and other tumor-related molecules/chemicals released in the blood can help doctors predict if colorectal cancer may come back or spread. Tumors shed DNA and other cancer related chemicals into the blood that can be identified and studied further to provide information about the cancer. Information gathered from this study may help researchers better understand if ctDNA found in the blood can predict whether colorectal cancer may come back or spread. Read Less

This is a first in human, open-label, multi-center Phase 1 / 2 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and initial efficacy of AU-007 in patients with advanced solid tumors. AU-007 will be administered either as a monotherapy, or in combination with a single loading dose of aldesleukin, or with both AU-007 and aldesleukin given every 2 weeks (Q2w). Once the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of AU-007 plus aldesleukin is determined, AU-007 plus aldesleukin will also be administered with avelumab. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to learn about how an investigational drug intervention completed before doing prostate surgery (specifically, radical prostatectomy with lymph node dissection) may help in treatment of high risk localized prostate cancers that are most resistant to standard treatments. This is a phase II research study. For this study, capivasertib, the study drug, will be taken with intensified androgen deprivation drugs (iADT; abiraterone and leuprolide) prior to radical prostatectomy. This study drug treatment will be evaluated to see if it is effective in shrinking and destroying prostate cancer tumors prior to surgery and to further evaluate its safety prior to prostate cancer surgery.

This is a Phase 1/1b, open-label, first-in-human, dose-escalation and expansion study of CHS-388, a monoclonal antibody that targets IL-27, as a monotherapy and in combination in patients with solid tumors. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to learn about the: * safety (the effect of the study medicine on the participant's body), * effects of the study medicine alone or in combination with sasanlimab - * the best amount of the study medicine. This study is seeking participants who have solid tumors (An abnormal mass of tissue) that: * have advanced (cancer that does not disappear or stay away with treatment) or * are metastatic (has spread to other parts of the body). This includes (but limited to) the following cancer types: * Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC): It's a type of lung cancer where the cells grow slowly but often spread to other parts of the body. * Colorectal Cancer (CRC): This is a disease where cells in the colon or rectum grow out of control. * Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC): This is a cancer that starts in the kidney. All participants in this study will receive the study medication (PF-07826390) as an IV infusion (given directly into a vein) at the study once every four weeks in 28 day cycles. The study participants depending on the group enrolled in, will receive the study medication (PF-07826390 alone or in combination with other anti-cancer medications (sasanlimab). Sasanlimab is given as a shot under the skin every 4 weeks. Participants can continue to take the study medication (PF-07826390) until their cancer is no longer responding. Participants who are taking sasanlimab may receive it for up to 2 years. The study will look at the experiences of people receiving the study medicines. This will help see if the study medicines are safe and effective. Participants will be involved in this study for up to 4 years. During this time, participants will have a study visit every week. The participants after stopping the study medicine (at about 2 years) will be followed for another two years to see how the participants are doing. Read Less

The goal of this clinical research study is to evaluate a method involving 4 blood tests called CA-125, HE4, HE4 antigen autoantibody complexes, and osteopontin that may be helpful in the early detection of ovarian cancer in women who are at low risk. Read Less

Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas are neural crest-derived tumors of the nervous system that are often inherited and genetically heterogeneous. Genetic screening is recommended for patients and their relatives, and can guide clinical decisions. However, a mutation is not found in all cases. The aims of this proposal are to: 1) to map gene(s) involved in pheochromocytoma, and 2) identify genotype-phenotype correlations in patients with pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma of various genetic origins.

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, drug levels, molecular effects, and clinical activity of MRTX849 (adagrasib) in patients with advanced solid tumors that have a KRAS G12C mutation. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of an investigational drug called CFI-402257 alone in advanced solid tumors and in combination with Fulvestrant in advanced breast cancer patients. Read Less
