Patient Power is a patient research network and database (registry) to collect prospective information about demographics, self-reported diagnoses and medications, and willingness to participate in research from participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SpA), other musculoskeletal conditions, chronic neurological conditions like migraine, chronic pulmonary conditions like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), asthma, autoimmune dermatological conditions such as psoriasis, and other chronic inflammatory or immune-mediated conditions. In addition, since patients with chronic conditions often have other co-morbidities like cardiovascular health...
This research study is studying a drug called Paxalisib (GDC-0084) as a possible treatment for primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL)
This study is for patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma, as well as patients who have recurring glioblastoma. Subjects will be given daily paxalisib and metformin while also maintaining a ketogenic diet. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of Paxalisib while maintaining a ketogenic diet (a high fat, low carbohydrate diet) and Metformin (a drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat type 2 diabetes), and to see what effects it has on glioblastoma.
At present, prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) is part of standard care for patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) who have achieved good response after definitive thoracic radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, the value of PCI is being challenged in the era when MRI examination of brain has been popularized. The goal of this clinical study is to compare PCI and regular brain MRI follow-up (control arm) and regular brain MRI follow-up alone (study arm) in patients with limited-stage SCLC who have received definitive radiotherapy and chemotherapy and acheived complete remission (CR) of tumor. The main questions to answer are: 1. Whether the 2-year...
The purpose of this research is to test the safety and effectiveness of the investigational combination of anti-Programmed Death (PD)-1 antibody therapy with or without LAG-3 inhibition (pembrolizumab or nivolumab+relatlimab) and infliximab in treating metastatic melanoma.
A Phase I open-label, multicenter study, to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of treating children with newly diagnosed DIPG or recurrent neuroblastoma with molecular targeted therapy in combination with adoptive cell therapy (Total tumor mRNA-pulsed autologous Dendritic Cells (DCs) (TTRNA-DCs), Tumor-specific ex vivo expanded autologous lymphocyte transfer (TTRNA-xALT) and Autologous G-CSF mobilized Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs)).
Pediatric low-grade glioma (PLGG) is a heterogeneous group of WHO grade I and II brain tumors, associated with a 10-year overall survival of 90%. It is the most common form of primary central nervous system (CNS) tumor arising during childhood, adolescence and young adulthood, accounting for over 30% of CNS tumors in this age group. A large group of PLGG patients will benefit from a complete resection of their tumor. Nevertheless, PLGG can occur anywhere and can be in some locations associated with neurological symptoms, unresectable or radiological progressive tumors that need medical treatments rapidly to avoid long-term sequelae. The current problem during this first line...
A prospective open label, multicenter study to evaluate the feasibility and acute toxicity of using molecularly guided therapy in combination with standard therapy followed by a Randomized Controlled Trial of standard immunotherapy with or without DFMO followed by DFMO maintenance for Subjects with Newly Diagnosed High-Risk Neuroblastoma.
Indoximod was developed to inhibit the IDO (indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase) enzymatic pathway, which is important in the natural regulation of immune responses. This potent immune suppressive mechanism has been implicated in regulating immune responses in settings as diverse as infection, tissue/organ transplant, autoimmunity, and cancer. By inhibiting the IDO pathway, we hypothesize that indoximod will improve antitumor immune responses and thereby slow the growth of tumors. The central clinical hypothesis for the GCC1949 study is that inhibiting the pivotal IDO pathway by adding indoximod immunotherapy during chemotherapy and/or radiation is a potent approach for breaking immune...
This is a Phase I study of ex vivo expanded CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells (exHSCs) plus nivolumab in pediatric patients with histologically confirmed diagnosis of a non-brainstem high-grade glioma (NB-HGG, WHO Grade III or IV astrocytoma, oligodendrogliomas, oligoastrocytomas, ependymomas) that is recurrent, progressive or refractory following radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy. Patients must be candidates for standard of care surgical resection or biopsy.
