Purpose: The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if atezolizumab and bevacizumab can help to control rare solid tumors.

A Study of BMS-986148 in Patients With Select Advanced Solid Tumors

March 8, 2017
Categories: , , ,

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, antitumor activity and pharmacodynamics of BMS-986148 administered alone and in combination with nivolumab in patients with mesothelioma, non-small cell lung cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer and gastric cancer.

Trial of Adcetris in CD30+ Malignant Mesothelioma

March 1, 2017
Categories: , , , ,

Purpose: The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if Adcetris (brentuximab vedotin) can help to control mesothelioma. The safety of this drug will also be studied.

Safety Study of Enoblituzumab (MGA271) in Combination With Pembrolizumab in Refractory Cancer

February 15, 2017
Categories: , , ,

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of enoblituzumab (MGA271) in combination with Keytruda (pembrolizumab) when given to patients with B7-H3-expressing melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN), non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and other B7-H3 expressing cancers. The study will also evaluate what is the highest dose of enoblituzumab that can be given safely when given with pembrolizumab. Assessments will also be done to see how the drug acts in the body (pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics) and to evaluate potential anti-tumor activity of MGA271 in combination with pembrolizumab.

Phase IB of Selinexor in Combination With Standard Chemotherapy in Patients With Advanced Malignancies

January 25, 2017
Categories: , , ,

Purpose: Primary Objective: To establish the safety and tolerability of Selinexor when given in combination with standard chemotherapy regimens.

Secondary Objectives:To determine disease control and progression free survival of Selinexor administered with standard chemotherapy treatments.

Exploratory Objectives:To determine the correlation of translational biomarkers To compare serial assessment of mutation status in biopsies obtained at baseline and progression after clinical response to combination therapy

Continuous 24h Intravenous Infusion of Mithramycin, an Inhibitor of Cancer Stem Cell Signaling, in People With Primary Thoracic Malignancies or Carcinomas, Sarcomas or Germ Cell Neoplasms With Pleuropulmonary Metastases

December 14, 2016
Categories: , , , ,

Purpose: Mithramycin is a new cancer drug. In another study, people with chest cancer took the drug 6 hours a day for 7 straight days. Many of them had liver damage as a side effect. It was discovered that only people with certain genes got this side effect. Researchers want to test mithramycin in people who do not have those certain genes.

Staging Procedures to Diagnose Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma

October 24, 2016
Categories: , , , , ,

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of participants imaging versus staging procedures. The investigators will consent subjects that are scheduled to undergo staging procedures to diagnose malignant pleural mesothelioma (including pleuroscopy, bronchoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound and laparoscopy) as part of their standard of care.

Genetically Modified T Cells in Treating Patients With Stage III-IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer or Mesothelioma

October 5, 2016
Categories: , , , ,

Purpose: This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of genetically modified T cells in treating patients with stage III-IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or mesothelioma. Many types of cancer cells, including NSCLC and mesothelioma, but not most normal cells, have a protein called Wilms tumor (WT)1 on their surfaces. This study takes a type of immune cell from patients, called T cells, and modifies their genes in the laboratory so that they are programmed to find cells with WT1 and kill them. The T cells are then given back to the patient. Cyclophosphamide and aldesleukin may also stimulate the immune system to attack cancer cells. Giving cyclophosphamide and aldesleukin with laboratory-treated T cells may help the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells.
