GENITOURINARY CANCER

This early-stage trial tests a personalized treatment for people with metastatic solid cancers that have KRAS mutations. Doctors take a patient's own white blood cells, genetically modify them to recognize and attack KRAS-mutated cancer cells, and return them to the patient along…

This study tests whether combining two immunotherapy drugs, nivolumab and ipilimumab, can shrink tumors in people with rare cancers of the urinary or reproductive systems. About 100 adults with advanced disease that cannot be removed by surgery are taking part. The main goal is t…

This study compares a new counseling approach called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with standard counseling to help people with head and neck, lung, breast, gastrointestinal, or genitourinary cancer stop smoking. About 51 adults who smoke at least one cigarette per day …

This study tests whether a 12-week program of online chair-based exercise and health education, combined with a geriatric assessment, is feasible and helpful for adults aged 65+ with certain cancers and their support persons. The program is delivered remotely, and the study will …

This study tests a communication program for people with advanced cancer and their caregivers. The goal is to help them manage difficult emotions and talk about the patient's illness and treatment wishes. About 45 participants will take part, and the program is tailored for Latin…

This study aimed to compare a newer breathing machine method (APRV) with the standard method (CMV) during anesthesia for robotic gynecologic or genitourinary cancer surgery. The goal was to find the best settings to help patients' lungs work well during the procedure. However, th…

This study looks at blood samples from 25 cancer patients receiving radiation therapy. Researchers want to find specific genes that show how each person's body responds to radiation. The goal is to better understand individual reactions and possibly personalize radiation treatmen…

This study looks at tumor samples from over 3,000 people with advanced cancers to find specific biomarkers—unique features of each cancer. The goal is to help doctors choose the most promising targeted therapy or clinical trial for each patient. Participants are adults with vario…

This study collects tissue and blood samples from 156 people with advanced prostate, kidney, or bladder cancers. Researchers analyze these samples to find genetic markers that predict how well different treatments will work. Participants do not receive any experimental treatment …

This pilot study tests a new FDA-approved cone-beam CT imaging system (Halcyon 4.0) for planning radiation therapy. Researchers will compare its image quality and ease of use to standard CT scans in 27 adults with various cancers. The goal is to see if the new system can improve …
