The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of the drug MBG453 as treatment for newly diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia patients when used in combination with other anti-cancer treatments.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of AMG 160; a half-life extended (HLE) bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE®) antibody construct, alone and in combination with pembrolizumab in subjects with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
This study is an longitudinal observation study to enroll patients who have chronic graft versus host host disease and are about to receive initial or second line treatment, in order to identify predictors of treatment response.
Prostate Cancer Survivorship 360º is a collaboration-based initiative involving prostate cancer (PC) and survivorship researchers/clinicians from three Canadian prostate centers with the goal of identifying and tracking unmet supportive care needs of patients with localized PC and responding to these needs through survivorship care. The current randomized control trail (RCT) will focus on the development and evaluation of a facilitated electronic Prostate Cancer Survivorship Care Plan (PC-SCP).
People who may be at increased risk of lung cancer due to age and smoking history will be invited to participate in this international study to determine the best way of using computed tomography (CT) of the chest to screen for early lung cancer. Overseas data show that CT screening (screening tests can find diseases early, when they're easier to treat) can reduce deaths from lung cancer and this study will help determine who is most likely benefit from screening.
This study will maximize identification of women with Lynch Syndrome using an enhanced screening strategy to identify those at risk. These women will be referred to genetic counselling for testing and those found to have Lynch Syndrome will be asked to invite first degree relatives to participate and undergo genetic testing for Lynch Syndrome.
This pilot study will investigate the impact of dexamethasone (DEX) on anti-Xa levels in participants taking apixaban 2.5 mg twice a day by mouth (PO BID). Investigators propose a prospective, cohort study of 24 participants with multiple myeloma, in whom a lenalidomide-dexamethasone (LEN-DEX)-based myeloma treatment regimen is indicated. Eligible participants will initiate thromboprophylaxis with apixaban prior to starting their DEX-containing regimen and continue until the end of cycle 3. Anti-Xa levels, D-Dimer and plasma drug concentration will be measured.
Imatinib (IM) is first-line treatment for patients with newly diagnosed CML in chronic phase. The drug is associated with high rates of cytogenetic responses with minimal toxicity in approximately 80% of patients. In 20% of patients however, the disease is either initially unresponsive to IM (Imatinib), resistance develops within a few months, or blast crisis occurs early and unexpectedly following an initial response.
Cancer patients have an increased risk of developing blood clots in the veins compared to non-cancer patients. Cancer patients who develop blood clots can lead to reduced life expectancy, delayed cancer treatment, and decreased quality of life. Prevention is the most effective way to decrease the complications associated with blood clots in the veins.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a reduced dose of apixaban is non-inferior to and safer than the full dose of apixaban for the prevention of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) in active cancer patients.
This Phase 3, 2-arm, randomized, active comparator-controlled, open-label, multicenter study will compare the efficacy and health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) and assess the safety of selinexor plus bortezomib (Velcade® or generic equivalent) plus low-dose dexamethasone (SVd) versus bortezomib plus low-dose dexamethasone (Vd) in adult patients with RRMM who have received 1 to 3 prior anti-multiple myeloma (MM) regimens. After progressive disease (PD), patients in the Vd Arm may cross over to SVd treatment. Patients who cross over will be referred to as SVdX patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of several combination therapies for Multiple Myeloma. Upon entry into the study, patients will be randomized (assigned by chance) to receive either:
Group 1: nivolumab, pomalidomide and dexamethasone OR Group 2: pomalidomide and dexamethasone OR Group 3: nivolumab, elotuzumab, pomalidomide and dexamethasone
This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1/2 study to determine the recommended dose and regimen of durvalumab in combination with lenalidomide (LEN) with and without dexamethasone (dex) in subjects with Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM).
The study will consist of a dose-finding phase as well as a parallel dose-expansion phase to determine the optimal regimen
This is a single arm, open-label, multi-center, phase 1/2 study, to determine the safety and efficacy of KTE-C19, an autologous anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-positive T cell therapy, in refractory aggressive Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL).
This is a efficacy and safety study of pembrolizumab (MK-3475, KEYTRUDA®) as monotherapy in participants with previously systemically treated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Study participants may receive pembrolizumab once every 3 weeks for up to 35 administrations (up to approximately 2 years).
The primary objective of this study is to determine the Objective Response Rate (ORR) of pembrolizumab given as monotherapy in participants with previously systemically treated HCC.
The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability when combining pembrolizumab with epacadostat or placebo in subjects with unresectable or metastatic melanoma.
This study will independently assess the efficacy and safety of two combination therapies for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RR MM): selinexor + dexamethasone + pomalidomide (SdP) and selinexor + dexamethasone + bortezomib (SdB).
The purpose of this study is to find out how to increase the potential for achieving an "operational cure" from chronic myeloid leukemia. An "operational cure" is a state in which a person does not require further treatment, although there may be some remaining cancer cells. Patients would normally remain on a TK inhibitor indefinitely within a standard of care setting for chronic myeloid leukemia. Within this clinical trial, patients will discontinue their TK inhibitor prematurely. If any signs of progression are identified, dasatinib will be introduced.
The purpose of the study is to compare once-weekly carfilzomib dosing in combination with dexamethasone to twice-weekly carfilzomib dosing in combination with dexamethasone in subjects with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma, previously treated with bortezomib and an immunomodulatory agent (IMiD).
RATIONALE: Lymphadenectomy may remove tumor cells that have spread to nearby lymph nodes in patients with invasive bladder cancer. It is not yet known whether extended pelvic lymphadenectomy is more effective than standard pelvic lymphadenectomy during surgery.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying standard pelvic lymphadenectomy to see how well it works compared to extended pelvic lymphadenectomy in treating patients undergoing surgery for invasive bladder cancer.
