A Study to Compare Standard Therapy to Treat Hodgkin Lymphoma to the Use of Two Drugs, Brentuximab Vedotin and Nivolumab

J
Jenny Belsky, DO
5 years - 60 years
All genders
Phase 3
Interventional
This phase III trial compares the effect of adding immunotherapy (brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab) to standard treatment (chemotherapy with or without radiation) to the standard treatment alone in improving survival in patients with stage I and II classical Hodgkin lymphoma. Brentuximab vedotin is in a class of medications called antibody-drug conjugates. It is made of a monoclonal antibody called brentuximab that is linked to a cytotoxic agent called vedotin. Brentuximab attaches to CD30 positive lymphoma cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, bleomycin sulfate, vinblastine sulfate, dacarbazine, and procarbazine hydrochloride 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. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill cancer cells. It may also lower the body's immune response. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair and may kill cancer cells. Vincristine is in a class of medications called vinca alkaloids. It works by stopping cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Prednisone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Adding immunotherapy to the standard treatment of chemotherapy with or without radiation may increase survival and/or fewer short-term or long-term side effects in patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma compared to the standard treatment alone. THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Consistent with most oncology trials, patients are not actively “recruited,” but are screened by their physician for appropriate clinical trial(s) at the time of their routine clinic visit. Occasionally, a patient may be a self-referral or physician referral, but are still screened for appropriate clinical trials at the time of their routine clinic visit. PI and staff may send copies of relevant consent forms to these patients to look over prior to actually consenting or enrolling them. This may take place at the patient's visit at which the consent is presented or the patient's next visit to the outpatient hematology/oncology clinic.  Interested in participating?

Endoscopic versus Shunt Treatment of Hydrocephalusin Infants

J

1 day - 104 weeks
All genders
Interventional
Hydrocephalus is a potentially debilitating neurological condition that primarily affects babies under a year of age and has traditionally been treated by inserting a shunt between the brain and the abdomen. A newer endoscopic procedure offers hope of shunt- free treatment that may reduce complications over a child's life, but it is not clear if the endoscopic procedure results in similar intellectual outcome as shunt. Therefore, the investigators propose a randomized trial to compare intellectual outcome and brain structural integrity between these two treatments, to help families make the best treatment decision for their baby.THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY

The Indiana Biobank is a statewide initiative, co-developed by Indiana University School of Medicine and IU Health to collect blood specimens. The Indiana Biobank is a collection of biological samples (like blood, urine, and tissue) from individuals matched with their electronic health information. Researchers use biobanks to study genetic factors in health and disease. Researchers use the samples and information to find new and/or better treatments for diseases and health conditions. IU Health patients can participate in this effort by donating a blood sample. These samples are collected at the time of a routine blood draw for their doctor. The Indiana Biobank can also use blood specimens left over from another draw. The goal of the project is to enroll 300,000 IU Health patients over the next five years. Collected samples and medical information are made available to scientists who are performing research that may lead to new or advanced medical treatments. We hope these discoveries will help improve the health of Hoosiers and the community. Watch this video to learn more:

Total Cancer Care: A Lifetime Partnership with Patients Who Have or May be at Risk of Having Cancer

A
Anna Maria Storniolo, MD
18 years - 100 years
All genders
The purpose of this research study is to collect and store biospecimens and personal health information to use in future research studies. The Total Cancer Care Program (TCCP) establishes a unique collection of blood, tissue, other biological samples and their associated data (survey data, medical records data, cancer registry data, and other related data) from thousands of patients with cancer or at risk of having cancer. This research study is to build a large database (of information and specimens) to find better ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer. This is not a treatment trial. It is a study designed to create a centralized data and tissue repository. THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Consistent with most oncology trials, patients are not actively “recruited,” but are screened by their physician for appropriate clinical trial(s) at the time of their routine clinic visit. Occasionally, a patient may be a self-referral or physician referral, but are still screened for appropriate clinical trials at the time of their routine clinic visit.

4 years - 80 years
All genders
Observational
This study will examine laryngeal physiology and respiratory kinematics in children and adults with and without voice disorders and cleft palate.THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY -  Potential participants for the patient group will be patients of the Voice and Swallow Clinics, or craniofacial anomalies clinic at IUH. Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) laryngologist, or a study team member will screen patients seen at the Voice and Swallow Clinic who are within the appropriate age range by reviewing their medical chart to determine if the patient meets initial eligibility requirements. If the patient is determined to be a potential candidate, the SLP, physician, or nurse who the patient recognizes as being involved in their care will approach the patient about the study at their scheduled appointment. If the study was not presented to the potential participant at the time of their scheduled standard of care appointment, the patient may be telephoned or emailed to see if they would like to participate in the study. Potential participants for the control group will be approached through otolaryngology or speech-language pathology clinics at IUH (patients without voice disorders or cleft palate). For controls, eligibility will be confirmed via screening questions.

Melanoma Margins Trial (MelMarT): A Phase III, multi-centre, multi-national randomised control trial investigating 1cm v 2cm wide excision margins for primary cutaneous melanoma

18 years - 100 years
All genders
Phase 3
Patients with a primary invasive melanoma are recommended to undergo excision of the primary lesion with a wide margin. There is evidence that less radical margins of excision may be just as safe. This is a randomised controlled trial of 1 cm versus 2 cm margin of excision of the primary lesion for adult patients with stage II primary invasive cutaneous melanomas (AJCC 8th edition) to determine differences in disease-free survival. A reduction in margins is expected to improve patient quality of life. Interested in participating?
