Exploring the Role of B-cell Activating Factor Receptor (BAFFR)-based Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR T) in BAFFR-expressing B-cell Hematologic Malignancies and Autoimmune Rheumatologic Disorders
Jacksonville, FL
The purposes of this study are to explore the therapeutic efficacy of BAFFR-CAR T cells in BAFFR-expressing B-cell hematologic malignancies including large B-cell, mantle cell and follicular lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-cell ALL) using primary tumor and/or patient derived xenograft models, and to explore the therapeutic efficacy of BAFFR-CAR T cells in autoimmune rheumatologic diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis using primary samples and/or patient derived xenograft models.
Chemotherapy Alone or Chemotherapy Plus Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients with Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer Undergoing Surgery
Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ
The standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer involves chemotherapy and radiation, known as 5FUCMT, (the chemotherapy drugs 5-fluorouracil/capecitabine and radiation therapy) prior to surgery. Although radiation therapy to the pelvis has been a standard and important part of treatment for rectal cancer and has been shown to decrease the risk of the cancer coming back in the same area in the pelvis, some patients experience undesirable side effects from the radiation and there have been important advances in chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation which may be of benefit. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, both good and bad, of the standard treatment of chemotherapy and radiation to chemotherapy using a combination regimen known as FOLFOX, (the drugs 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), oxaliplatin and leucovorin) and selective use of the standard treatment, depending on response to the FOLFOX. The drugs in the FOLFOX regimen are all FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved and have been used routinely to treat patients with advanced colorectal cancer.
A Study to Evaluate Exemestane in Post-Menopausal Women with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
Albert Lea, MN
This study is being conducted to see if adding Exemestane to the immune checkpoint blockade can slow disease progression in post-menopausal women with non-small cell lung cancer.
A Study of ONO-7475 in Patients With Acute Leukemias
Jacksonville, FL
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of ONO-7475 monotherapy in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia or relapsed or refractory myelodysplastic syndromes, and to assess the safety, tolerability, and preliminary effectiveness of the combination of ONO-7475 and venetoclax in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia.
A Study to Compare Optimal MRI Timing for Pre-surgical Planning to LINAC-based Therapy
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this research is to compare two different standard-of-care pre-surgical imaging methods.
A Study to Evaluate Contouring Organs at Risk for Treatment Planning
Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ
The purpose of this study is to determine: if the artificial intelligence (AI)-generated results are less arduous than manual tracing by radiation oncologist, and the non-inferiority of the quality of AI vs. manual tracing. These aims will be evaluated in a clinical environment to investigate the impact of an AI algorithm on the clinical workflow. Radiotherapy treatment planning requires precise calculations of radiation exposure, not only for the target volumes (tissue containing malignancy), but of nearby organs-at-risk (OARs), in which the exposure needs to be minimized. Manual segmentation of these organs is a time-consuming task with high interobserver variability. Producing these segmentations automatically will reduce the time required for treatment planning and improve the interobserver variability.
A Study to Evaluate Rectal Cancer with Diffusion-Weighted and Dynamic Contrast Enhanced Perfusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Jacksonville, FL
The purpose of this study is to analyze the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) from Diffusion-Weighted (DWI) in patients before, during the second week of and after preoperative chemoradiation therapy for rectal cancer.
A Study to Determine Baseline Levels for Prostate Cancer-Derived Particles Containing Cellular Matter (Extracellular Vesicles) After Local Treatment
Rochester, MN
The purposes of this study are to determine the levels of prostate cancer-derived extracellular vesicles pre- and post-local therapy (radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy), to correlate analysis for PSA levels and prostate cancer-derived extracellular vesicles, and to determine baseline levels of prostate cancer-derived extracellular vesicles in patients undergoing different lines of primary local treatment.
Ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1)-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy in HER2-positive Breast Cancer Patients
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluate the patient-reported outcomes data of T-DM1 induced peripheral neuropathy like prior research focused on paclitaxel-, paclitaxel/CBDCA-, oxaliplatin-, and cisplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy, to better understand the similarities and differences of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) symptoms caused by different agents, their pathogenesis, and impacts.
Cutaneous Lymphoma Database
Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ
The purpose of this study is to create a long-term, prospective database of cutaneous lymphoma that will lead to a better understanding of the biological behavior of cutaneous lymphomas as well as the effectiveness of interventions.
