Paclitaxel Therapeutic Drug Monitoring in Cancer Patients
Solid TumorAdult27 moreThe goals of this prospective, observational cohort study are to determine the feasibility of implementing paclitaxel therapeutic drug monitoring for cancer patients and explore the relationship between paclitaxel drug exposure and the development of neuropathic symptoms. This trial studies if paclitaxel can be consistently measured in the blood of patients with solid tumors undergoing paclitaxel treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, 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. Nerve damage is one of the most common and severe side effects of paclitaxel. The ability to consistently measure paclitaxel in the blood may allow doctors to control the dose of paclitaxel, so that enough chemotherapy is given to kill the cancer, but the side effect of nerve damage is reduced.

The research study procedures include three MRI scans (one before, one during, and one after standard of care cancer radiation therapy) for participants with advanced esophageal cancer, glioblastoma, prostate cancer, vulvar cancer or pediatric glioma. The research study procedures include: Screening for eligibility Three MRI scans
A Multilevel Intervention to Improve Timely Cancer Detection and Treatment Initiation
NeoplasmsHiv6 moreThis study evaluates whether the Potlako+ intervention of community education, clinical provider support, and patient navigation can improve access to cancer case for patients presenting with symptoms of cancer. Half of communities will receive the Potlako+ intervention, while the other communities will continue to receive standard programs.
The Registry of Oncology Outcomes Associated With Testing and Treatment
AdenocarcinomaAdenocystic Carcinoma76 moreThis 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 PIONEER Initiative: Precision Insights On N-of-1 Ex Vivo Effectiveness Research Based on Individual...
CancerAll Types52 moreThe PIONEER Initiative stands for Precision Insights On N-of-1 Ex vivo Effectiveness Research. The PIONEER Initiative is designed to provide access to functional precision medicine to any cancer patient with any tumor at any medical facility. Tumor tissue is saved at time of biopsy or surgery in multiple formats, including fresh and cryopreserved as a living biospecimen. SpeciCare assists with access to clinical records in order to provide information back to the patient and the patient's clinical care team. The biospecimen tumor tissue is stored in a bio-storage facility and can be shipped anywhere the patient and the clinical team require for further testing. Additionally, the cryopreservation of the biospecimen allows for decisions about testing to be made at a later date. It also facilitates participation in clinical trials. The ability to return research information from this repository back to the patient is the primary end point of the study. The secondary end point is the subjective assessment by the patient and his or her physician as to the potential benefit that this additional information provides over standard of care. Overall the goal of PIONEER is to enable best in class functional precision testing of a patient's tumor tissue to help guide optimal therapy (to date this type of analysis includes organoid drug screening approaches in addition to traditional genomic profiling).

Ovarian NeoplasmsEndometrial Neoplasms4 moreMulticenter, randomized, open-label, phase II clinical study comparing Dostarlimab +/- Bevacizumab with standard chemotherapy in patients with gynecological clear cell carcinoma. 198 subjects will be enrolled in this study and will be assigned to three groups in a 1:1:1 ratio. Group A: Dostarlimab monotherapy First 3 cycles: Dostalimab 500mg every 3 weeks, IV 4 cycles ~ up to 24 months: Dostalimab 1000mg every 6 weeks, IV Group B: Dostarlimab + Bevacizumab combination therapy First 3 cycles: Dostalimab 500mg every 3 weeks, IV 4 cycles ~ up to 24 months: Dostalimab 1000mg every 6 weeks, IV Bevacizumab administered IV at 15 mg/kg every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Group C: General chemotherapy (one of doxorubicin, paclitaxel, and gemcitabine)
Primary Chemoradiation VS. Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Followed By Surgery As Treatment Strategy For...
Locally Advanced Vulvar CarcinomaSquamous Cell Carcinoma of the VulvaA phase 2 randomised controlled trial will be performed in which the efficacy and safety of standard treatment (primary chemoradiation; consisting of 64.5 Gy in 30 fractions of external beam radiotherapy with weekly cisplatin for six weeks) and experimental treatment (NACT; consisting of carboplatin and paclitaxel in a 3-weekly scheme) will be compared in 98 patients with LAVC, registered from eight national medical centres.
Immunotherapy-related CRP Kinetics in Metastatic Gynecological Malignancies
Gynecological MalignanciesCervical Cancer3 moreICK-Gyn is a prospective, multicentric, non-interventional investigator-initiated trial (IIT) that aims to investigate the prognostic value of CRP kinetics in advanced or metastatic gynecological malignancies under immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy on the objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
Neo-adjuvant Pembrolizumab in Vulvar Squamous Cell Carcinoma: a Clinical Proof-of-concept Study...
Vulva CancerVulva Neoplasm1 moreRationale: Vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC) is a rare cancer with a rising incidence. Standard treatment comprises wide local excision of the primary tumour and inguinal lymph nodes and sometimes (chemo) radiotherapy. Treatment is associated with impressive and long-lasting morbidity, sexual and psychological dysfunction and wound healing disorders. Recurrent disease develops in up to 40% of all treated patients. The unmet need, therefore, is a less radical and more effective treatment for VSCC. Hypothesis: Based on the local immune profile in a large fraction of patients with primary VSCC the investigators hypothesize that neoadjuvant PD-1 checkpoint inhibition may reinvigorate tumor-specific T cells resulting in a reduced tumor load, potentially leading to less radical surgery and reduces the recurrence rate. The primary objectives of this trial are to study clinical efficacy and immune activation of neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade in VSCC. Study design: This is a prospective, multicenter phase II non-controlled clinical trial in 40 VSCC patients. Study population: Clinically diagnosed FIGO I-III primary VSCC patients to be treated with surgery with curative intent. Intervention (if applicable): Anti-PD1 antibody pembrolizumab, 200 mg IV Q3W for a total of 2 administrations per patient over a period of 6 weeks prior to surgery. Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary endpoints are: Clinical efficacy of neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade in VSCC, measured by objective change in tumour size (according to RECIST1.1) The activation, proliferation and migration of the CD4+CD39+PD-1+ intratumoral T-cell population.
E7 T-cell Receptor (TCR) -T Cell Induction Therapy for Locoregionally Advanced HPV-associated Cancers...
HPV-Associated Cervical CarcinomaHPV-Related Carcinoma15 moreThe 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.
