ECOG-ACRIN EA2165: A Randomized Phase III Study of Nivolumab After Combined Modality Therapy (CMT) in High Risk Anal Cancer

Cancer Internal Medicine Anal Cancer Adult Subjects

This phase III trial investigates how well nivolumab after combined modality therapy works in treating patients with high risk stage II-IIIB anal cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

S1418/BR006: A Randomized, Phase III Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) as Adjuvant Therapy for Triple Receptor-Negative Breast Cancer with >/=1 cm Residual Invasive Cancer or Positive Lymph Nodes (ypN1mi, ypN1-3) Afte…

Cancer Internal Medicine Breast Cancer Adult Subjects

This randomized phase III trial studies how well pembrolizumab works in treating patients with triple-negative breast cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

ALLIANCE A011401: Randomized Phase III trial evaluating the role of weight loss in adjuvant treatment of overweight and obese women with early breast cancer

Cancer Internal Medicine Endocrinology Breast Cancer Diabetes Adult Subjects Female Subjects

This randomized phase III trial studies whether weight loss in overweight and obese women may prevent breast cancer from coming back (recurrence). Previous studies have found that women who are overweight or obese when their breast cancer is found (diagnosed) have a greater risk of their breast cancer recurring, as compared to women who were thinner when their cancer was diagnosed. This study aims to test whether overweight or obese women who take part in a weight loss program after being diagnosed with breast cancer have a lower rate of cancer recurrence as compared to women who do not take part in the weight loss program. This study will help to show whether weight loss programs should be a part of breast cancer treatment.

ALLIANCE A011202: A RANDOMIZED PHASE III TRIAL COMPARING AXILLARY LYMPH NODE DISSECTION TO AXILLARY RADIATION IN BREAST CANCER PATIENTS (cT1-3 N1) WHO HAVE POSITIVE SENTINEL LYMPH NODE DISEASE AFTER NEOADJUVANT CHEMOTHERAPY

Cancer Breast Cancer Adult Subjects Female Subjects Male Subjects

This randomized phase III trial studies lymph node dissection and radiation therapy to see how well it works compared to radiation therapy alone in treating patients with breast cancer previously treated with chemotherapy and surgery. Lymph node dissection may remove cancer cells that have spread to nearby lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x rays or protons to kill tumor cells. It is not yet known if radiation therapy works better alone or with lymph node dissection in treating patients with breast cancer previously treated with chemotherapy and surgery.

INSPPIRE 2

Cancer Pediatrics Endocrinology Gastroenterology Nephrology Diabetes Pancreas Pancreatic Cancer Appendicitis Digestive Disease Kidney Disease Pediatric Subjects

The investigators will enroll a total of 628 patients under 18 years of age with ARP or CP. Included in the total are the 357patients in the INSPPIRE 1 database who are planned to be reenrolled under this protocol over the next 4 years. Patient questionnaires and physician surveys will be applied at the time of enrollment and annually thereafter as long as possible. At the first study visit after turning 18 years of age, the patient will sign the informed consent to continue in the study. Specifically, the investigators will define the demographics of the pediatric ARP and CP cohort, describe risk factors, presence of family history of acute and chronic pancreatitis, diabetes and pancreatic cancer and assess disease burden and sequelae.

Phase 3 Pembrolizumab Study for Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Cancer Internal Medicine Skin Cancer Adult Subjects Female Subjects Male Subjects

This is a randomized, double-blind, study that compares pembrolizumab (MK-3475) with placebo given as adjuvant therapy in participants with high-risk locally advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (LA cSCC) that have undergone surgery with curative intent in combination with radiotherapy. The primary hypothesis is that pembrolizumab is superior to placebo in increasing recurrence free survival (RFS).

ANBL1232: Utilizing Response and Biology Based Risk Factors to Guide Therapy in Patients with Non-High Risk Neuroblastoma

Cancer Pediatrics Immunology Autoimmune Brain and Spinal Cord Cancer Pediatric Subjects Female Subjects Male Subjects

This phase III trial studies how well response and biology-based risk factor-guided therapy works in treating younger patients with non-high risk neuroblastoma. Sometimes a tumor may not need treatment until it progresses. In this case, observation may be sufficient. Measuring biomarkers in tumor cells may help plan when effective treatment is necessary and what the best treatment is. Response and biology-based risk factor-guided therapy may be effective in treating patients with non-high risk neuroblastoma and may help to avoid some of the risks and side effects related to standard treatment.
