This study will observe side effects for patients who receive a 3-week course of radiation and chemotherapy for pancreas cancer. Blood samples will be collected before and after treatment to assess pancreas cancer DNA levels and its impact on outcomes.

The investigators have recently demonstrated that argininosuccinate synthase 1 (ASS1) expression is silenced in 88% of all sarcomas (n=708), and that this loss is associated with a decreased overall survival. Using the extracellular arginine depleting enzyme PEGylated arginine de…

This is an open-label, single arm, multicenter, dose finding, Phase Ib study in order to assess the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) for this combination treatment and to evaluate the general safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmaco…

China Rural Hypertension Control (CRHC) Project is a cluster randomized trial that will test the effectiveness of a village doctor-led multifaceted intensive blood pressure intervention on hypertension control in 18 months (Phase 1), cardiovascular disease risk in 36 months (Phas…

The purpose of the clinical study is to investigate whether the local delivery of bisphosphonate as a surgical adjuvant can decrease the chance of a giant cell tumor of bone coming back to the same location. The hypothesis is that the local administration of bisphosphonate will d…

This phase II trial studies ipilimumab and nivolumab with immunoembolization in treating patients with uveal melanoma that has spread to the liver. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab and nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and…

FDA-approved multiple sclerosis (MS) disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) target the relapsing phase of MS but have minimal impact once the progressive phase has begun. It is unclear if, in the relapsing phase, there is an advantage of early aggressive therapy with respect to preve…

This phase I/Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of intrathecal nivolumab, and how well it works in combination with intravenous nivolumab in treating patients with leptomeningeal disease. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body'…

Non Small Cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains the first cause of death by cancer in the World. For the patients presenting a NSCLC stage IV, the median of survival is about 15 months today. The chemotherapy with platinum is the standard treatment for these patients but immunotherapy…

Background: Immunotherapy drugs help the body to fight cancer. Scientists think that combining some of these drugs will make them work better than when used alone. This may be true for many types of cancer, including castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Objective: To t…

This research is being done to find out if an investigational drug, Nivolumab, can be safely administered after a "half-matched" (haplo) bone marrow transplant (BMT), and if the investigational drug will help to prevent or delay relapse or progression of sarcomas. In this study i…

This study is being done to test whether receiving a dose of radiation that is higher than the standard dose, in combination with chemotherapy, improves the chance of becoming a candidate for surgery and improves the chance of extending the patient's life.

This is a single-arm Phase II trial of pembrolizumab in patients with hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma with parallel study on baseline and serial change in the immune environment. Subjects should have a confirmed diagnosis of HCC (in accordance with the AASLD g…

Atherosclerosis in the setting of HIV infection is distinct and includes increased vascular inflammation, worsened endothelial function, and a predominance of non-calcified plaque. These outcomes can be assessed using specialized noninvasive imaging which strongly predict future …

This phase II trial studies how well autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes LN-145 (LN-145) or LN-145-S1 works in treating patients with ovarian cancer, triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), anaplastic thyroid cancer, osteosarcoma, or other bone and soft tissue sarcomas that d…

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the results of treating patients with HPV-unrelated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma with neoadjuvant single-agent palbociclib, followed by chemoradiation (either cisplatin + IMRT or cetuximab + IMRT depending on patient characteristi…

This randomized phase II trial studies how well abiraterone acetate and antiandrogen therapy, with or without cabazitaxel and prednisone, work in treating patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer previously treated with docetaxel that has spread to other parts of the bo…

This is a non-randomized, open-label, multi-site phase II therapeutic trial of pembrolizumab and bavituximab in patients with locally advanced HCC. Locally advanced or metastatic HCC is defined as disease that is not amenable to surgical and/or locoregional therapies. Subjects mu…

This is an open-label, multicenter, Phase II study to investigate the efficacy and safety of venetoclax in combination with Rituximab/hyaluronidase human in participants with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

Background: The drug Nivolumab has been approved to treat some cancers. Researchers want to see if it can slow the growth of other cancers. They want to study its effects on cancers that may have not responded to chemotherapy or other treatments. Objectives: To see if Nivoluma…
