Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Small Cell"

This trial collects multiple tissue and blood samples, along with medical information, from cancer patients. The "Cancer Moonshot Biobank" is a longitudinal study. This means it collects and stores samples and information over time, throughout the course of a patient's cancer treatment. By looking at samples and information collected from the same people over time, researchers hope to better understand how cancer changes over time and over the course of medical treatments.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of autologous CD8+ and CD4+ lentivirally transduced to express L1CAM-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) and EGFRt mutation specific T cells and to see how well they work in treating patients with small cell neuroendocrine prostate cancer (SCNPC) that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) and cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) or has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). CAR T-cell therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack tumor cells. T cells are taken from a patient's blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein on the patient's tumor cells is added to the T cells in the laboratory. Some solid tumor cells have an EGFR protein on their surface, and T cells can be modified with a receptor, called a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), to help recognize this protein and kill these tumor cells. Large numbers of the CAR T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. These L1CAM-EGFRt mutation specific T cells may help the body's immune system identify and kill L1CAM-EGFRt locally advanced and unresectable or metastatic small cell neuroendocrine prostate cancers' tumor cells.

The Serpentine (Stratify cancER PatiENTs by ImmuNosupprEssion) project, represents the most consistent effort so far attempted to translate MDSC into clinical practise by producing an off-the-shelf compliant assay for quantifying these cells in peripheral blood.

This is a first-in-human clinical trial evaluating the safety of an alpha-radiation treatment (Lead-212 labelled Pentixather) in patients who have been diagnosed with, and previously treated, for atypical carcinoid lesions of the lung.

Background: - Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. It causes more than one million deaths every year. Researchers want to gather tissue samples from people with lung and thymic cancers to understand the disease better. This may lead to new ways to diagnose and treat it. Objective: - To collect tissue samples for use in the study of lung cancers. Eligibility: - Adults over age 18 with non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, extra pulmonary small cell cancer, pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors, and thymic epithelial tumors. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history, physical exam, and blood tests. They will be asked about how they perform their daily tasks. Participants may be asked to give urine and blood samples. They may give a saliva sample if they cannot give blood. They will also give a sample of their tumor from a biopsy they had. They may also be given the option to undergo a biopsy. Participants may have MRI, CT, and/or PET scans of the body. They will lie in a machine that takes pictures of the body. After visits to the Clinical Center end, researchers will contact participants by phone every year to check on their health.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the baseline muscle mass as a predictive biomarker of treatment response in patients with recurrence or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and the neck (SCCHN) treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI)

This study collects information and data on patients with neuroendocrine cervical cancer. Information from this study may be used to better understand the correlation between clinical data, such as patient characteristics, treatment, and disease outcomes, and overall patient outcomes.

This phase I/II trial studies the best dose and side effects of navitoclax and how well it works when given together with vistusertib in treating patients with small cell lung cancer and solid tumors that have come back (relapsed). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as navitoclax, 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. Vistusertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving navitoclax and vistusertib may work better than navitoclax alone in treating patients with small cell lung cancer and solid tumors.

This is a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, phase II study to investigate the efficacy and safety of Atezolizumab with or without Tiragolumab as consolidation therapy in participants with limited stage small cell lung cancer who have not progressed during/after chemoradiotherapy.

The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose and safety of CC-4047 (pomalidomide) given in combination with cisplatin and etoposide in patients with extensive disease small cell lung cancer.
