Cancer

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of eflornithine in combination with lomustine, compared to lomustine taken alone, in treating patients whose anaplastic astrocytoma has recurred/progressed after radiation and temozolomide chemotherapy.

This randomized phase III trial studies how well combination chemotherapy (vincristine sulfate, dactinomycin, cyclophosphamide alternated with vincristine sulfate and irinotecan hydrochloride or vinorelbine) works compared to combination chemotherapy plus temsirolimus in treating patients with rhabdomyosarcoma (cancer that forms in the soft tissues, such as muscle), and has an intermediate chance of coming back after treatment (intermediate risk). Drugs used work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Combination chemotherapy and temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether chemotherapy plus temsirolimus is more effective than chemotherapy alone in treating patients with intermediate-risk rhabdomyosarcoma.

The purpose of this Phase 1b study is to assess the safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Decitabine in combination with Gemcitabine among previously treated patients diagnosed with advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma or sarcoma (soft tissue and bone).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in the adjuvant treatment of adult participants who have undergone nephrectomy and have intermediate-high risk, high risk, or M1 no evidence of disease (M1 NED) renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with clear cell component.

The primary study hypothesis is that pembrolizumab is superior to placebo with respect to Disease-free Survival (DFS) as assessed by the Investigator in male and female participants with intermediate-high risk, high risk and M1 NED RCC.

This is a Phase 3, randomized, multinational, double-blind, dual placebo-controlled, 4-arm study evaluating rucaparib and nivolumab as maintenance treatment following response to front-line treatment in newly diagnosed ovarian cancer patients. Response to treatment will be analyzed based on homologous recombination (HR) status of tumor samples.

This is a single arm phase II clinical trial of Ipilimumab and Nivolumab in patients with resected mucosal melanoma. Ipilimumab (1 mg/kg) and Nivolumab (3 mg/kg) will be administered Day 1 of a 21-day cycle in Cycles 1-4 and then nivolumab 480 mg will be administered Day 1 of a 28-day cycle for Cycles 5-15 (maximum of 15) or until disease recurrence or intolerance before completion of 15 cycles.

The investigators will study the effect of pulmonary arterial vasodilation to see if it eliminates indices of persistent lung injury in smokers that are susceptible to emphysema.

The purpose of this single arm open label phase 1b clinical study is to see what effect zoledronic acid has on tumors in patients with resectable any grade chondrosarcoma prior to surgery.

This is a Phase I/II, multicenter, open-label, dose escalation/dose-expansion study to evaluate the tolerability, safety, and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ruxolitinib when given with fixed dose nivolumab in patients with relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL).
