The Gut Microbiome and Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy in Solid Tumors
Non-Small-Cell Lung CarcinomaMalignant Melanoma2 moreThe microbiome has the potential to serve as a robust biomarker of clinical response to immunotherapy. Additionally, microbial manipulation, through diet, exercise, prebiotics, probiotics, or microbially-derived metabolites, may prove to be beneficial in promoting anti-tumor immune responses. However, large prospective studies in humans with longitudinal sample collection and standardized methods are needed to understand how microbiota and their byproducts affect cancer therapies, particularly among patients undergoing identical therapy but experiencing different outcomes. The proposed observational study builds upon these hypotheses by proposing a large cohort design to further assess the associations between the gut microbiota (composition and function), host immune system, and ICI treatment efficacy across multiple cancer types.
Observational Study of Factors Predicting Therapeutic Effects and Clinical Prognosis After HAIC...
Hepatocellular CarcinomaProspective single arm, single center observational study to evaluate factors which were easily available from preoperative examination for predicting therapeutic effects and clinical prognosis of hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) for hepatocellular carcinoma. There factors are collected in preoperative routine blood examination, preoperative radiological imaging and pathological examination. Patients which are diagnosed with locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) will receive standard HAIC and follow-up exclusively as routinely done.
99mTc-PSMA-I&S Biodistribution in Patients With Prostate Cancer
Prostate CarcinomaRecurrent Prostate CarcinomaThis exploratory study conducted under the RDRC program studies the biodistribution of 99mTc-PSMA-I&S in patients with prostate cancer who undergo pelvic lymph node dissection. Prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radio-guided surgery uses the preoperative intravenous administration of a PSMA-ligand called PSMA-imaging and surgery (I&S) labeled with the gamma-emitter radioisotope Technetium-99m (99mTc). Giving 99mTc-PSMA-I&S may detect PSMA-expressing lymph nodes during surgery using a gamma probe and may help guide doctors to detect prostate cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes.
Detecting HPV DNA in Anal and Cervical Cancers
Cervical CancerAnal Cancer4 moreThis is a research study for individuals who have cancer associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) and are being treated with radiation as part of standard care for their cancer. Doctors leading this study will use blood tests to find out if they can detect the HPV virus in the blood of study participants before, during, and after radiation treatment. They will also collect blood and archival tumor tissue (from a previous biopsy) to perform other tests in the future that could provide more information about HPV-associated cancers and how they respond to treatment. Participation in this study will last approximately 2 years.
A Study of Concurrent Chemoradiation in Combination With or Without PD1 Inhibitor AB122 Adenosine...
Head and Neck CancerSquamous Cell Carcinoma of Head and Neck8 moreThe purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of chemotherapy and radiation in combination with the investigational study drugs zimberelimab (AB122) and etrumadenant (AB928) in subjects with a locally advances head or neck cancer. The study will also ask how the study drugs change the following: The microbiome that lives in the mouth and on the skin Immune cells as they respond to a skin wound Scarring (fibrosis) caused by radiation After completing a screening phase, subjects will be assigned to one of three cohorts: Cohort 1: Subjects who will receive cisplatin, radiation and zimberelimab followed by zimberelimab only. Cohort 2: Subjects who will receive cisplatin, radiation, zimberelimab and etrumadenant followed by zimberelimab and etrumadent. Cohort 3: Subjects who will receive cisplatin and radiation followed by an observation period. All three cohorts will be followed for a 24 months following the conclusion of the chemoradiation.

Immune Cells as a New Biomarker of Response in Patients Treated by Immunotherapy for Advanced Hepatocellular...
Hepatocellular CarcinomaHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Treatment options for advanced HCC remain very limited. Until recently, multikinase inhibitor were the gold standard for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma but associated with poor outcome and important side effects. Recently, the positive results of the Imbrave 150 study (a randomized study comparing Atezolizumab + Bevacizumab versus Sorafenib) prompted us to redefine our management strategy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma by proposing the combination of Atezolizumab/Bevacizumab as treatment first-line in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. However, only 1/3 of the patients will respond to the combination of treatment and identifying predictive factors of response and new immune checkpoint inhibitors in order to target more tumors appear as a major issue. In this context, recent work has underlined the importance of the activating CD226/DNAM-1 receptor as an original immunotherapeutic target in various cancers (solid and hematopoietic tumors). CD226 is a transmembrane receptor that is part of the immunoglobulin superfamily. It is expressed by most T lymphocytes (CD8+, CD4+), by Natural Killer (NK) cells, by promoting their cytotoxicity. The investigators propose to prospectively analyze the frequency and phenotype (expression of CD226) of circulating immune cells before the initiation of treatment with Atezolizumab/Bevacizumab, 3 weeks after the first injection and its variation to determine whether this biomarker could predict the response to the treatment.
National Cancer Institute "Cancer Moonshot Biobank"
Acute Myeloid LeukemiaAnatomic Stage III Breast Cancer AJCC v819 moreThis 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.
