A Study of Varlilumab and Atezolizumab in Patients With Advanced Cancer
CarcinomaRenal Cell13 moreThis is a study to determine the clinical benefit (how well the drug works), safety and tolerability of combining varlilumab and atezolizumab. Phase l of the study will enroll patients with a number of tumor types; Phase ll will enroll only patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC).* *Note: This Study was terminated prior to initiation of Phase II

Phase I Sodium Selenite in Combination With Docetaxel in Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer
Urologic NeoplasmsProstate Cancer1 moreSelenium, in the form of inorganic Sodium Selenite, may be useful for treating existing prostate cancer. This idea is based on data from our laboratory showing that 1) prostate cancer cells are more sensitive to Selenium (Sodium Selenite)-induced apoptosis than normal prostate epithelial cells, 2) Selenite induces significant growth inhibition of well established prostate cancer tumors in mice at doses that have no detectable toxicity, and 3) Selenite disrupts AR signaling, and that the inhibition of AR expression and activity by Selenite occurs via a redox mechanism involving GSH, superoxide, and Sp1. Altogether, these findings suggest that Selenium may be useful in a variety of potential indications in the natural history of prostate cancer, including both hormone sensitive and castrate resistant prostate cancer, as a single agent, or in combination with radiation, chemotherapy or conventional hormone therapy. Selenite is a potential novel inhibitor of AR expression and function in prostate cancer.
Zoledronic Acid With Intermittent Hormonal Therapy in Patients With Prostate Cancer
Urologic NeoplasmsPrimary: To determine the duration of use of zoledronic acid in improving Bone mineral density in patients with prostate cancer who are on hormones intermittently. Secondary Objectives: To describe the safety and tolerability at this dose and schedule
Identifying Immune-related Biomarkers to Predict the Efficacy of Cancer Immunotherapy
Lung Cancer MetastaticLocally Advanced Malignant Neoplasm2 moreThe development of Immune Checkpoint Blockade (ICB) is a revolution in medical oncology as ICB have changed the standard treatments of several metastatic tumor types. However, the response rate to ICB is low, and the biological bases for this response heterogeneity are poorly understood. In the frame of Immunosup study, we will collect blood (at baseline, post infusion of ICB n°2/4/8 and at progression) and tumor samples (optional: at baseline and progression) from patients with locally advanced or metastatic cancer, treated with ICB, in order to determine if the dynamics of immunosuppressive actors (MDSC, TReg, Immunosuppressive cytokines) predicts response to these immunotherapies.
A Study of Herceptin (Trastuzumab) Monotherapy in Patients With Metastatic Urothelial Cancer
Urinary Tract CancerThis study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous Herceptin in patients with metastatic urothelial cancer with disease progression during platinum-based chemotherapy. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression.
A Study of Enfortumab Vedotin for Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Urothelial Bladder...
CarcinomaTransitional Cell6 moreThis is a study that will test how an experimental drug (enfortumab vedotin) affects patients with cancer of the urinary system (urothelial cancer). This type of cancer includes cancer of the bladder, renal pelvis, ureter or urethra that has spread to nearby tissues or to other areas of the body. This clinical trial will enroll patients who were previously treated with a kind of anticancer drug called an immune checkpoint inhibitor (CPI). Some CPIs have been approved for the treatment of urothelial cancer. This study will test if the cancer shrinks with treatment. This study will also look at the side effects of the drug. A side effect is a response to a drug that is not part of the treatment effect. Patients who sign up for this trial must also fall into one of these categories: Patients have already received treatment with platinum-containing chemotherapy Patients have never received platinum-containing treatment and are not eligible for treatment with cisplatin.
Transvaginal Versus Transabdominal Extraction of Laparoscopically-excised Specimen
