What is the purpose of this study?This phase II MyeloMATCH treatment trial tests whether the standard approach of cytarabine and daunorubicin in comparison to the following experimental regimens works to shrink cancer in patients with high risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML): 1) daunorubicin and cytarabine liposome alone; 2) cytarabine and …
What is the purpose of this study?The DNA repair capacity (DRC) is a measure of a cell’s ability to repair DNA damage. High levels of DNA damage are observed in many lung diseases, including lung cancer and chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD, sometimes referred to as emphysema or chronic bronchitis). …
What is the purpose of this study?Define and follow-up with the patients that undergo OTC for fertility preservation.Optimize techniques and quality assurance measures for freezing and thawing of ovarian tissue or gametesEstablish techniques for in vitro follicle maturation (IFM) or in vitro maturation of cumulus oocyte complexesInvestigate factors affecting successful …
This study investigates the effects of adding an investigational medication, cemiplimab, to the usual treatment of docetaxel and ramucirumab for patients with stage IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. This type of lung cancer is advanced and may have returned after previous treatment. Cemiplimab is a monoclonal antibody that …
What is the purpose of this study?This phase II trial compares the effect of immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) plus chemotherapy (doxorubicin) to chemotherapy (doxorubicin) alone in treating patients with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) or a related poorly differentiated sarcoma that has spread from where it first started to other places in the …
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of WEE1 inhibitor MK-1775 and irinotecan hydrochloride in treating younger patients with solid tumors that have come back or that have not responded to standard therapy. WEE1 inhibitor MK-1775 and irinotecan hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells …
The investigators propose to conduct a dose-escalation trial of an FDA-approved antiepileptic drug, lacosamide, added to opioid therapy in patients with chronic abdominal pain fromhronic pancreatitis (CP). This pilot trial will test the feasibility of the study design andvide reassurance regarding the tolerability and safety of lacosamide used concomitantly with …

The purpose is to compare these factors between African American and White men who are receiving or have completed androgen deprivation therapy, which is a treatment that reduces male hormones to slow cancer growth. The study also …
This study investigates the use of MRI surveillance alone versus MRI surveillance combined with prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) in patients with small cell lung cancer. Small cell lung cancer is a type of cancer that forms in the tissues of the lung and can spread quickly. MRI, or magnetic resonance …
What is the purpose of this study?This phase III trial compares the effect of stereotactic radiosurgery to standard of care memantine and whole brain radiation therapy that avoids the hippocampus (the memory zone of the brain) for the treatment of small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain. …
