Active clinical trials for "Recurrence"

The purpose of this study is to find out what effect an antibody called Humanized 3F8 (Hu3F8) and a drug called GM-CSF have on the patient and whether it can keep the patient in remission longer and/or prevent recurrence of the disease.

This is a Phase I clinical trial evaluating abemaciclib (LY2835219), an inhibitor of cyclin dependent-kinases 4 and 6 (Cdk 4/6) in children and young adults with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) (Stratum A) and in relapsed/refractory/progressive malignant brain (Grade III/IV, including DIPG; MBT) and solid tumor (ST) patients (Stratum B).

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of oncolytic measles virus encoding thyroidal sodium iodide symporter (MV-NIS) infected mesenchymal stem cells and to see how well it works in treating patients with ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer that has come back. Mesenchymal stem cells may be able to carry tumor-killing substances directly to ovarian, primary peritoneal and fallopian tube cancer cells.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of pembrolizumab and to see how well it works in treating younger patients with high-grade gliomas (brain tumors that are generally expected to be fast growing and aggressive), diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (brain stem tumors), brain tumors with a high number of genetic mutations, ependymoma or medulloblastoma that have come back (recurrent), progressed, or have not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may induce changes in the body's immune system, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of ONC201 and to see how well it works in treating patients with acute leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). ONC201 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This randomized clinical trial studies how molecular profiling and targeted therapy work in treating patients with cancer that has spread to other places in the body compared to standard treatment. Information about genetic differences in a patient's tumor can be used to choose treatment that may target the tumor. It is not yet validated whether selecting treatment after studying the genetic changes that are associated with cancer in a patient's tumor is a better way to treat patients with metastatic cancer compared to therapy not based on studying the genetic changes that are associated with cancer.

This phase II pilot trial studies how well brentuximab vedotin with or without nivolumab works in treating patients with CD30+ lymphoma that has come back after a period of improvement or does not respond to treatment. Biological therapies, such as brentuximab vedotin, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving brentuximab vedotin with or without nivolumab may work better in treating patients with CD30+ lymphoma.

Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remains one of the currently available curative therapies for acute leukemia (AL). Leukemia relapse is one of the mainly causes of transplant failure. We reported previously that patients with high-risk molecular biomarkers who still have detectable minimal residual disease(MRD) pre-HSCT were at very high risk of relapse, with cumulative relapse rate of 50-80%. Decitabine has been demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of patients with recurrent or refractory leukemia and myelodysplastiv syndrome. It was reported that the combination of decitabine, with busufan and cyclophosphamide as a preparative regimen for allo-HSCT using HLA-matching donors was safe and effective. In this prospective, single-arm clinical trial, we aimed to examine the efficacy of combining decitabine with modified busulfan and cyclophosphamide (mBU/CY) as a preparative regimen for allo-HSCT in patients with very high-risk AL and detectable MRD pre-HSCT.

This study seeks to determine the optimum dose frequency of 5-Azacytidin (5-AZA) infusions into the fourth ventricle of the brain. The study's primary objective is to establish the maximum tolerated dose for infusions of 5-Azacytidine into the fourth ventricle in patients with recurrent ependymoma. The study's secondary objective is to assess the antitumor activity of 5-Azacytidine infusions into the fourth ventricle based upon imaging studies and cytology.

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of venetoclax and how well it works in combination with low-intensity chemotherapy in patients with B- or T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has not responded to treatment or that has come back. Venetoclax may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, including vincristine, cyclophosphamide, dexamethasone, rituximab, methotrexate, and cytarabine, 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. Giving venetoclax with low-intensity chemotherapy may work better in treating patient with B- or T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
