Active clinical trials for "Recurrence"

To determine whether special tumor fighting cells that is taken from participants' tumors and grown in the laboratory and then given back to the participant will fight the participant's cancer when their immune system is suppressed from attacking these special tumor fighting cells. This is called transfer of autologous (they came from you) tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (the cells that have been grown in the laboratory. Participants getting these cell infusions will also be treated with interleukin-2 (IL-2).

The aim of the study is to explore a prognostic clinical and molecular biomarker profile in a population of BRCA wild-type recurrent high-grade ovarian cancer patients treated with olaparib as maintenance after response to a platinum based therapy as platinum sensitive recurrence treatment.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of peposertib when given together with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride in treating patients with high or low grade ovarian cancer that has come back (recurrent). Peposertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride, 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 peposertib and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride may work better in treating patients with ovarian cancer compared to pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride alone.

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of gilteritinib and to see how well it works in combination with azacitidine and venetoclax in treating patients with FLT3-mutation positive acute myeloid leukemia, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm that has come back (recurrent) or has not responded to treatment (refractory). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as azacitidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Venetoclax may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Gilteritinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving azacitidine, venetoclax, and gilteritinib may work better compared to azacitidine and venetoclax alone in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, or myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm.

This is a open-label，multicenter, randomised, three-arm, phase II efficacy and safety study of ibrutinib in combination with MRE(methotrexate,rituximab,etoposide)-chemotherapy versus lenalidomide in combination with MRE-chemotherapy given to adult patients who have recurrent/refractory primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL)

Significant advances in molecular nuclear medicine imaging in prostate cancer have been achieved in recent years. In particular, the introduction of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) -based tracers has significantly influenced diagnostic imaging of prostate. If cancer recurs after surgical removal of the prostate, targeted PSMA PET (positron emission tomography) can detect metastases even at very low PSA (prostate-specific Antigen) values. This increasingly allows individualized specific therapy of patients with prostate cancer recurrence. PSMA PET has now been included in national and international guidelines for the diagnosis of patients with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer. Especially in patients in good general condition, with potentially longer life expectancy and early localized PSA recurrence, advances in molecular imaging are increasingly turning local therapy concepts into focus. Here both, radiotherapeutic (salvage radiotherapy of the lymphatic drainage) and surgical interventions (salvage lymph node dissection = removal of the pelvic lymph nodes) are offered on an individual basis. These regional therapies mainly aim to achieve a delay of further progression of the prostate cancer disease, and thus delay the initiation of palliative, sustained drug therapy. Previous standard or common practice at salvage lymph node dissection is the removal on both sides of the pelvic lymph nodes even if only one-sided suspicious lymph nodes are detected on imaging. Although the complications of salvage lymph node dissection are usually minor and manageable, they can still lead to impaired lymphatic drainage, leg edema, lymphocele formation or other surgical complications. The aim of the present study is to investigate whether a unilateral pelvic lymph node dissection on the side of conspicuous PSMA PET is sufficient and a dissection on the contralateral side can be dispensed without negatively impacting oncological outcomes and thereby sparing the patient the potential additional complications of a bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and how well of pembrolizumab and a vaccine therapy (ATL-DC vaccine) work in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back (recurrent) and can be removed by surgery (surgically accessible). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Vaccines, such as ATL-DC vaccine, may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Giving pembrolizumab and ATL-DC vaccine may work better in treating patients with glioblastoma compared to ATL-DC alone.

Cognitive therapy has been shown to reduce fear of cancer recurrence (FCR), mainly in breast cancer survivors. The accessibility of cognitive behavioural interventions could be further improved by Internet delivery, but self-guided interventions have shown limited efficacy. The aim of this study is to test the efficacy of a therapist guided internet-delivered intervention (TG-iConquerFear) vs. augmented treatment as usual (aTAU) in Danish colorectal cancer survivors.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ivosidenib when given together with combination chemotherapy for the treatment of 1DH1 mutant acute myeloid leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Ivosidenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the IDH1 mutation and some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate, cytarabine, and filgrastim, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving ivosidenib with combination chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia compared to chemotherapy alone.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells with a chlorotoxin tumor-targeting domain in treating patients with MPP2+ glioblastoma that has come back (recurrent) or that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive). Vaccines made from a gene-modified virus may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells.
