Active clinical trials for "Penile Neoplasms"

This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab works in treating patients with rare tumors that cannot be removed by surgery or have spread to other parts of the body. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may block specific proteins found on white blood cells which may strengthen the immune system and control tumor growth.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best doses of cabozantinib s-malate and nivolumab with or without ipilimumab in treating patients with genitourinary (genital and urinary organ) tumors that have spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Cabozantinib s-malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether giving cabozantinib s-malate and nivolumab alone or with ipilimumab works better in treating patients with genitourinary tumors.

This research study is a pilot clinical trial, which hypothesizes that the combination of electromagnetic tracking in conjunction with laparoscope imaging and ultrasound probe imaging will aid in reducing the complexity of both laparoscopic lymphadenectomy and/or organ removal in patients with a confirmed diagnosis of cancer in urologic regions of interest (Bladder, Prostate, Testicular, Kidney, Urethral, and Penis), by resulting in better visualization and more accurate localization of certain areas in the diseased organ or the diseased lymph node, and allowing for improved surgical and patient outcomes, fewer complications and better clinician performance.

HARE-40 is a phase I/II vaccine dose escalation study with two different arms: Arm 1A will perform intrapatient dose escalation in patients with previously treated HPV16+ Head & Neck Cancer using two dose cohorts to establish a safe, tolerable and recommended dose of HPV vaccine. Arm 1B will perform intrapatient dose escalation in patients with advanced HPV16+ cancer (head and neck, anogenital, penile, cervical and other) using a single cohort to establish a safe, tolerable and recommended dose of HPV vaccine.

This study is to collect and validate regulatory-grade real-world data (RWD) in oncology using the novel, Master Observational Trial construct. This data can be then used in real-world evidence (RWE) generation. It will also create reusable infrastructure to allow creation or affiliation with many additional RWD/RWE efforts both prospective and retrospective in nature.

The proposed project is intended as a prospective study that includes 60 patients with newly diagnosed penile squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) referred to Oslo University Hospital (OUH), Radiumhospitalet, for surgery, primarily organ-sparing surgery (OSS). OSS may improve not only quality of life, but also quality of sexual function. However, there is a potential for increased risk of local recurrence after OSS compared to the amputation of the penis. Appropriate preoperative staging, including multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI), can substantially improve selection of patients and decrease the recurrence rate after surgery. MpMRI without artificial erection is promising diagnostic tool that is poised to be all-in-one solution for staging and preoperative assessment of primary penile cancer, especially prior to OSS. The method is non-invasive and thus comfortable to perform for most of the patients. Novel MRI techniques are not incorporated into current clinical recommendations, and the potential of new, functional sequences has not been evaluated before. The accuracy of functional, non-erectile mpMRI for detecting and staging of primary penile cancer is not known. Thus, the main purpose of this study is to assess the diagnostic value of this method for preoperative assessment of penile cancer.

The goal of this study is to determine the feasibility of administration of a single dose of E7 TCR-T cells as induction therapy prior to definitive treatment (chemoradiation or surgery) of locoregionally advanced HPV-associated cancers. The intent of E7 TCR-T cell treatment is to shrink or eliminate tumors and thereby facilitate definitive therapy and increase overall survival. This study seeks to determine 1) if E7 TCR-T cell can be administered without undue delay in definitive treatment, 2) the tumor response rate to E7 TCR-T cell treatment, 3) and the disease-free survival rate at 2 and 5 years. Participants will undergo an apheresis procedure to obtain T cells that will be genetically engineered to generate E7 TCR-T cells. They will receive a conditioning regimen, a single infusion of their own E7 TCR-T cells, and adjuvant aldesleukin. Participants will follow up to assess safety and determine tumor response and will return to their primary oncology team for definitive therapy.

Assess the feasibility of performing a RCT comparing videoendoscopic radical inguinal lymphadenectomy versus open radical inguinal lymphadenectomy in men diagnosed with genital cancer requiring inguinal lymphadenectomy, and determine the design of such an RCT.

The iCaRe2 is a multi-institutional resource created and maintained by the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center to collect and manage standardized, multi-dimensional, longitudinal data and biospecimens on consented adult cancer patients, high-risk individuals, and normal controls. The distinct characteristic of the iCaRe2 is its geographical coverage, with a significant percentage of small and rural hospitals and cancer centers. The iCaRe2 advances comprehensive studies of risk factors of cancer development and progression and enables the design of novel strategies for prevention, screening, early detection and personalized treatment of cancer. Centers with expertise in cancer epidemiology, genetics, biology, early detection, and patient care can collaborate by using the iCaRe2 as a platform for cohort and population studies.
