Aug 5th, 2022 - Background: Rare tumors constitute a heterogeneous group of cancers associated with limited treatment options and poor outcomes. Due to their rarity, there are few good models for these diseases to support preclinical evaluation of new anticancer agents. To address these challenges, DCTD s Patient-Derived Models Repository (PDMR) is generating patient-derived xenograft models of adult and pedia...

Aug 5th, 2022 - Background: Irinotecan is a prodrug of an inhibitor of topoisomerase 1 (active metabolite is SN-38) with known activity in sarcomas, however it has limitations including suboptimal bioavailability and systemic side effects including severe diarrhea and bone marrow suppression. Preclinical and clinical evidence has demonstrated that prolonged exposure to topoisomerase 1 inhibition produces super...

Aug 5th, 2022 - This is a 2 part study. Part 1 is a dose escalation to determine the safety and tolerability and to establish a preliminary recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) dose of MK-0482 administered as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in participants with advanced solid tumors for which there is no available therapy which may convey clinical benefit. Part 2 is expansion cohort to d...

Aug 5th, 2022 - A phase II study to assess the efficacy and safety of Surufatinib or Surufatinib combined with Vinorelbine as third-line and posterior line treatment in patients with NSCLC

Aug 5th, 2022 - In this study, the investigators hypothesize that THC alters the immunogenome in a cell type-specific fashion and alters cytokine production via epigenetic regulatory mechanisms and that these alterations differ between HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected host genomes. To test these hypotheses, the investigators propose defining the epigenomic and transcriptomic alterations at single cell resolutio...

Aug 5th, 2022 - The purpose of this research study is to look at the effect of a treatment regimen called CACTUX on head and neck cancer. The CACTUX regimen is a combination of three drugs called cisplatin, nab-paclitaxel, and cetuximab (although carboplatin may be given in place of cisplatin if participants have previously had problems receiving cisplatin). The use of nab-paclitaxel in this combination is dif...
