MT2024-42: Phase 1b Dose Expansion/2 Study of NXC-201 for the Treatment of Patients with Relapsed or Refractory AL Amyloidosis (NEXICART-2)
The purpose of this study is to find the best dose of NXC-201 to treat AL amyloidosis. The people in this study have AL amyloidosis that came back or does not get better with treatment.

NXC-201 is a CAR T cell therapy and is given intravenously (by vein). To prepare your body for NXC-201, you will also get fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, which are chemotherapy drugs. After you get NXC-201, you will be in the hospital for at least 10 days.

RANDOMIZED PHASE III TRIAL OF NEOADJUVANT IMMUNOTHERAPY WITH RESPONSE-ADAPTED TREATMENT VERSUS STANDARD-OFCARE TREATMENT FOR RESECTABLE STAGE III/IV CUTANEOUS SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA
We are studying the use of immunotherapy before and after (in some cases) surgery to see if it will extend the length of time until the cancer returns compared to the usual approach. The usual approach for patients who are not in a study is treatment with surgery which may be followed by radiation. Participants will either get the study drug cemiplimab (REGN2810) before surgery for the cancer or will have up-front surgery. For those who receive cemiplimab (REGN2810), it will be given before surgery every 3 weeks for up to 12 weeks. In either case, participants may also receive radiation after surgery depending on the tumor tissue results from surgery.
