This is an early study of a new drug, RGDCRAdCOX2F, as a single tumor injection in persons with adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. The main goal of the study is to find a safe dose of the study drug.

This study is intended to find the safest dose of a new combination of drugs (ALX148 and T-DXd) and to start to determine how effective it is at treating advanced or metastatic breast cancer. This study is an addition to the ongoing ISPY study program.

We are doing this study because we want to find out if observation is as good as the usual care for breast cancer. The usual approach for patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who receive preoperative chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab is to continue to receive FDA-approved pembrolizumab for up to 27 weeks after surgery. Participants will either get pembrolizumab for up to 27 weeks, or will not receive any treatment and will be observed for up to 27 weeks. We will continue to follow participants every 6 months for 5 years and watch for side effects or cancer coming back. After that, participants will be checked every year for a total of 10 years after the study.

This study is testing an “investigational” drug referred to as peptide alarm therapy (PAT) that was specially made for this study. PAT is using the peptide to stimulate the immune system for people who have failed prior treatment with a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor. Examples of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors are pembrolizumab (Keytruda), nivolumab (Opdivo), cemiplimab (Libtayo), atezolizumab (Tecentriq), avelumab (Bavencio), and durvalumab (Imfinzi). The goal of the 1st part of the study is to identify an acceptable, safe dose of PAT and up to 3 dose levels of PAT will be tested. If dose level 3 is reached without toxicity, it becomes the dose used for the next part of the study. In the 2nd part of the study, additional patients are treated at the PAT dose identified as safe in the 1st part to gain additional safety information and provide an initial estimate of anti-cancer effect.

This clinical study is for adults whose cancer has spread to the bones of the middle or lower back (spine). Doctors are comparing two common treatments: (1) a needle procedure to treat the tumor and strengthen the bone, followed by radiation, and (2) radiation therapy alone. The goal is to see which option better relieves pain, protects the spine, and improves quality of life. The treatment you receive will be chosen at random (by chance), meaning you will be placed into a study group by chance.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of administering BAFFR-CAR T cells in participants with relapsed or refractory (r/r) B- cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL). We also will determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/RP2D of BAFFR-CART cells.

The purpose of this study is to test a new CAR T-cell therapy called AZD0120 in adults with multiple myeloma that has returned or has not responded to previous treatments. Researchers want to learn whether this therapy is safe, determine the best dose to use, and see how well it works against the cancer. The study will also look at how the treatment affects the immune system and participants’ quality of life.

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.

This study is to see if patients who get tafasitamab in addition to the standard regimen of lenalidomide and rituximab when they are just starting treatment are more likely to stay in remission after treatment than those who do not. We expect that participants will be in this research study for approximately 3 years total. Patients will be on active treatment for approximately 1 year.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the investigational medication daraxonrasib in people with metastatic pancreatic cancer whose disease has progressed after previous treatment, who have no satisfactory treatment options, and who are unable to participate in a daraxonrasib clinical trial.

The purpose of this study is to help investigators learn more about lung problems after bone marrow transplant including what are the best methods for diagnosing lung problems and follow-up care. The lung problems that may develop after transplant varies from patient to patient, and we don’t exactly know what risk factors influence who develops them or how patients respond to pulmonary (breathing system) therapies. Also, we wish to improve how we monitor lung function and quality of life after transplant, especially in children and young adults.

This study is evaluating a new treatment after stem cell transplant for children with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Researchers hope to identify a safe dose, better understand possible side effects, and learn how the treatment works in the body.

This study is about treatment of Melanoma (a kind of skin cancer) that has spread or cannot be surgically removed and has gotten worse after standard treatments. This study includes patients with melanoma from any part of the body except the eye. The main purpose of this study is to learn if the study medicine (tebentafusp), alone or a combination with pembrolizumab, helps patients with advanced melanoma live longer. The combination of pembrolizumab and tebentafusp used in this study is experimental.

The upfront treatment for astrocytoma is surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. There is currently no standard therapy for when the astrocytoma has returned (recurs) or re-grows (progresses). This study uses the investigational drug FT536, a cell therapy that stimulates the immune system into action to treat astrocytoma that has returned or regrown. FT536 is a type of cell therapy made up of “natural killer” or NK cells, a type of immune blood cell that are known to attack cancer cells. The primary purpose of this study is to identify a safe dose of FT536 cells when given as an intratumoral injection and to identify the side effects of treatment with FT536. Another purpose of this study is to understand how FT536 alters the immune system in the brain and body.

The primary purpose of this study is to identify a safe dose of GTB-3650. The study also provides preliminary disease response information for larger future studies. GTB-3650 is designed to target CD33 on leukemia/MDS cells. Cancer cells must overexpress CD33 (also referred to as CD33+), a marker found in some blood/bone marrow cancers. Based on similar studies and lab studies, it is felt there is a chance of benefit from the study treatment but the duration of benefit is unknown.

The primary purpose of this study is to gain information, especially disease free outcomes, using the tandem approach as compared to the historical information of using a single transplant. The data will be analyzed for transplant “milestones” such as time to blood count recovery and how patients are doing at 3 months and 1 year after the treatment. Participation in this study will not alter treatment or medical care. All information for this study will be collected from medical records.

The purpose of this research study is to obtain information on the safety and effectiveness of PBCAR0191 to treat certain types of cancers, such as Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. It is made from a type of blood cells known as T cells. The T cells in PBCAR0191 came from people who have donated their blood. The donated T cells have been genetically changed, so that they may be able to kill specific cancer cells commonly present in Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

The purpose of this study is to learn more about an investigational drug called ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd; DS-7300. It is being studied to see if it is safe, and if cancer improves while taking it. I-DXd is a type of drug called an antibody drug conjugate (ADC). ADCs are made to attach to tumor cells to deliver chemotherapy directly to tumor cells while sparing healthy cells.

This study is testing an investigational drug called XmAb541 for people with advanced solid tumors that test positive for a protein called CLDN6. XmAb541 is a type of immunotherapy designed to help the body's immune system recognize and attack cancer cells. The first part of the study will test different doses of XmAb541 to determine a safe and appropriate dose for future research. Once a recommended dose is identified, additional participants will receive that dose in the second part of the study. Researchers will evaluate the safety of XmAb541, how the body responds to the treatment, and whether it shows signs of helping to control or shrink cancer.

The purpose of this study is to assess whether JNJ-87189401 given in combination with pasritamig (JNJ-78278343) to men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (also known as mCRPC) can cause side effects, and to find doses for the two drugs when given in combination. Side effects are unexpected or unwanted reactions from receiving the study drugs. Additionally, the study will look at how long JNJ-87189401 and pasritamig stay in the body, how they act on the body, and how the body responds to them.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how TAK-505 works in people with certain advanced solid tumors, including stomach, colorectal, lung, and head and neck cancers. The study will test TAK-505 at different dose levels to understand how it is tolerated, how it behaves in the body, and to help determine the dose that provides the best balance of effect and side effects for future studies.

This trial will evaluate whether azirkitug (ABBV-514) as monotherapy and in combination with budigalimab (ABBV-181) or bevacizumab is safe and tolerable for people with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

The I-SPY2 study uses 10 years of results to help your doctor understand more about your tumor and how to classify it better. This means your doctor will have more information and might be able to offer you a new treatment that could work better than the usual treatments. We need better treatments and better ways to identify which patients will benefit most from particular treatments.

This study will test GTB-5550, a B7H3-targeted natural killer (NK) cell engager, for the treatment of select solid tumor cancers. The study will determine the optimal dose level and evaluate preliminary safety and efficacy.

The purpose of the study is to compare two surgical procedures and their ability to decrease the risk of developing ovarian cancer for pre-menopausal women with BRCA1 mutations.

This study is for people who have been diagnosed with cancer that is advanced (means disease has spread from the original site or has come back) or is metastatic (means the disease has spread to other parts of the body). FOG-001 is currently being developed to treat people with cancer. We want see how safe and tolerable FOG-001 is when given alone and together with other anticancer drugs at different dose levels in participants. We also want to see how FOG-001 affects the body and the cancer

This study is for people who have been diagnosed with advanced cancer that has not has not responded to standard treatment. FT836 is a type of cell product made up of “T cells” which are part of the immune system and are important in helping fight infections. T cells are also important in eliminating cancer cells. We want to test the safety of FT836 at different doses, to understand how the body processes and responds to FT836, and to find out what effects FT836 may have on participants and the cancer. The study will also find out what effects FT836, when given alone and with or without chemotherapy treatment (paclitaxel) and/or a monoclonal antibody (cetuximab or trastuzumab.

This study is intended to find the highest amount of the study drug, VT3989, which can be safely taken by patients without causing too many side effects and to determine the recommended dose and dosing schedule for further research, how much of the study drug gets into the blood stream and how long it takes to be cleared, and if the study drug will shrink tumors.

The main goal of this study is to see if it's safe for people to take xaluritamig together with either darolutamide or abiraterone.

AML is a type of blood cancer where infection fighting cells called white blood cells (WBCs) don’t grow up or “mature” like they are supposed to. Instead, they stay stuck as infant or immature “blast” cells. This study will investigate the potential risks and benefits of adding a targeted therapy called ziftomenib to intensive therapy (7+3) OR non-intensive (Venetoclax + Azacitidine) for patients whose cancers are found to have KMT2A rearrangements or mutations in the NPM1 gene. We will also see if the use of ziftomenib as maintenance therapy following consolidation is beneficial.
