Active clinical trials for "Recurrence"

Plasmodium vivax malaria is difficult to manage because even after taking medicine that kills the infection in the blood, it can continue to hide quietly in the liver, later re-emerging into the blood and causing another episode of malaria illness (relapse). This clinical trial aims to enroll patient with P. vivax infections and try to detect signals in blood, urine and/or saliva coming from the silent liver stages to help identify who could benefit from treatment with primaquine. It also will explore if certain factors of patients negatively impact primaquine efficacy.

This phase II trial studies the side effects of radiation therapy (hypofractionated proton beam therapy or IMRT) for the treatment of prostate cancer that has come back (recurrent) or that has spread to a limited number of sites (oligometastatic) following primary localized treatment. Hypofractionated proton beam radiation therapy delivers smaller doses of radiation therapy over time and may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects. IMRT uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. This trial is being done to find out if a shorter course of radiation therapy is better with fewer side effects for patients with recurrent prostate cancer.

The purpose of this study is to see if stool transplant performed by colonoscopy is effective at treating recurrent Clostridium difficile (C. diff) infection of the colon. During the procedure a stool sample is taken from a healthy donor (usually family member or close friend) and transplanted directly into the colon of the patient with C. diff infection. The goal of this experimental procedure (called fecal microbiota transplantation) is to replenish the good bacteria in the colon that can help prevent C. diff infection from coming back after treatment.

This phase I trial studies how well fluorine F 18 fluorthanatrace positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) works in patients with solid tumors. Fluorine F 18 fluorthanatrace is a radioactive tracer, a type of imaging agent that is labeled with a radioactive tag and injected into the body to help with imaging scans. PET/CT uses a scanner to make detailed, computerized pictures of areas inside the body. PET/CT with Fluorine F 18 fluorthanatrace may allow more tumor cells to be found in patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of edetate calcium disodium or succimer in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome undergoing chemotherapy. Edetate calcium disodium or succimer may help to lower the level of metals found in the bone marrow and blood and may help to control the disease and/or improve response to chemotherapy.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of birinapant when given together with intensity modulated re-irradiation therapy (IMRRT) in treating patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma that has come back at or near the same place as the original (primary) tumor (locally recurrent). Birinapant may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking IAP, a protein needed for tumor cell survival. IMRRT uses thin beams of radiation of different intensities that are aimed at the tumor from many angles. This type of re-irradiation therapy reduces the damage to healthy tissue near the tumor. Giving birinapant with IMRRT may lower the chance of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma growing or spreading.

A single-arm phase II trial to assess the efficacy and safety profile of pembrolizumab in patients with performance status of 2 with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Patients will receive best supportive care + pembrolizumab 200mg every 3 weeks for a maximum duration of 24 months

This is a Phase I dose escalation study designed to define the maximum tolerable dose(MDT), the safety profile, pharmacokinetic parameters, immunogenicity and anti-tumor activity of F0002-ADC in Chinese patients with relapsed/refractory CD30-positive hematologic malignancies.

This is a phase l/ll multi-centric, single arm, prospective open, dose-escalation study in patients with relapsed or refractory CD19-positive B cell malignancies (ALL, NHL, CLL). The trial will include adult and pediatric patients. The trial consists of 2 parts: Part I and Part II. In total approximately 48 patients will be included in Part I of the trial. There will be three individual cohorts, defined by disease biology: pediatric ALL and aggressive pediatric NHL (Cohort 1), adult ALL (Cohort 2) and adult NHL/CLL (Cohort 3).

This phase II pediatric MATCH trial studies how well tipifarnib works in treating patients with solid tumors that have recurred or spread to other places in the body (advanced), lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders, that have a genetic alteration in the gene HRAS. Tipifarnib may block the growth of cancer cells that have specific genetic changes in a gene called HRAS and may reduce tumor size.
