KaCrole Higgins was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020. “In May 2020, I found a lump in my breast. I cried. By June, it was diagnosed as breast cancer, triple positive, stage 1A. While getting this cancer diagnosis was devastating, it also became an opportunity. Suddenly, the cancer gave me clarity. It gave me clarity about what was important, what was good in my life, what was toxic in my life, and what I needed to do.” Click below to read more of KaCrole’s story

N-803 and PD-L1 t-haNK Combined With Bevacizumab for Recurrent or Progressive Glioblastoma

This study consists of 2 portions. The phase 2 portion is an open-label, single-arm study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NAI, PD-L1 t-haNK, and bevacizumab combination therapy in participants with recurrent or progressive GBM. The phase 2B portion is an open-label, randomized study to evaluate the efficacy and safety for the following 2 experimental arms in participants with recurrent or progressive GBM: NAI, bevacizumab, and TTFields combination therapy (Arm A) or NAI, PD-L1 t-haNK, bevacizumab, and TTFields combination therapy (Arm B).

Phase 2 Treatment for all enrolled participants will consist of repeated cycles of 28 days for a maximum treatment period of 76 weeks (19 cycles) as follows: Every 2 weeks (Days 1 and 15 of a 28-day cycle)

Fourteen (14) participants were enrolled in the phase 2 portion of this study as of the date of this v02 protocol. No additional participants will be administered therapy in phase 2.

Phase 2B Participants will be randomized 1:1 to 1 of 2 experimental arms (Arm A or Arm B). Treatment for all enrolled participants will consist of repeated 8-week cycles for a maximum treatment period of up to 80 weeks (10 cycles). Experimental Arm (A): Every 2 weeks (Days 1, 15, 29, and 43 of an 8-week cycle)

Up to twenty (20) participants will be randomized in phase 2B (up to 10 participants/arm.

Duration of Treatment:

Participants will receive study treatment for up to 76 weeks during phase 2 (up to 19 repeated 28-day cycles) and for up to 80 weeks (up to 10 repeated 8-week cycles) during phase 2B or until they report unacceptable toxicity (not corrected with dose reduction), withdraw consent, or if the Investigator feels it is no longer in the participant's best interest to continue treatment. Treatment may also be discontinued if the participant has confirmed PD per iRANO, unless the participant is clinically stable and is considered potentially deriving benefit per Investigator's assessment.

Duration of Follow-up:

Participants who discontinue study treatment should remain in the study for follow-up. Participants should be followed for collection of survival status, posttreatment therapies (phase 2 and phase 2B), and medical history (phase 2B only) every 12 weeks ( 2 weeks) for the first 2 years then yearly thereafter for an additional 3 years. The maximum duration of follow-up is 5 years (260 weeks).

A Study to Test Long-term Treatment With Brigimadlin in People With Solid Tumours Who Took Part in a Previous Study With This Medicine

Miscellaneous

This study is open to adults with solid tumours who received at least 4 cycles of treatment with brigimadlin in a previous study. The goal of this study is to find out how well people with solid tumours tolerate long-term treatment with brigimadlin. Brigimadlin is a so-called MDM2 inhibitor that was being developed to treat cancer.

All participants take brigimadlin as tablets once every 3 weeks at the study site. At study visits, doctors check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects. At some study visits, doctors also check the size of the tumour and whether it has spread to other parts of the body. Participants are in the study as long as they benefit from treatment and can tolerate it.

Hypofractionated Radiotherapy Followed by Surgical Resection in the Treatment of Soft Tissue Sarcomas

Sarcoma

The trial will use neoadjuvant hypofractionated radiotherapy followed by surgical resection in the treatment for soft tissue sarcoma. It will allow patients to be treated over a shorter course (5 or 15 days of radiation) compared to the traditional 5 week regimen. It is proposed that this will be possible without increasing the risk of wound complication or local recurrence compared with a traditional 5 week course of pre-operative radiation.

Testing the Use of Ado-Trastuzumab Emtansine Compared to the Usual Treatment (Chemotherapy With Docetaxel Plus Trastuzumab) or Trastuzumab Deruxtecan for Recurrent, Metastatic, or Unresectable HER2-Expressing Salivary Gland Cancers

Head/Neck

This phase II trial compares the effect of usual treatment of docetaxel chemotherapy plus trastuzumab, to ado-emtansine (T-DM1) in patients with HER2-postive salivary gland cancer that has come back (recurrent), that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body, or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). This trial is also testing how well trastuzumab deruxtecan works in treating patients with HER2-low recurrent or metastatic salivary gland cancer. Trastuzumab is a form of targeted therapy because it works by attaching itself to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as HER2 receptors. When trastuzumab attaches to HER2 receptors, the signals that tell the cells to grow are blocked and the cancer cell may be marked for destruction by body's immune system. Trastuzumab emtansine contains trastuzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug called emtansine. Trastuzumab attaches to HER2 positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers emtansine to kill them. Trastuzumab deruxtecan is a monoclonal antibody called traztuzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug called deruxtecan. Trastuzumab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as HER2 receptors and delivers deruxtecan to kill them. Docetaxel is in a class of medications called taxanes. It stops cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Trastuzumab emtansine may work better compared to usual treatment of chemotherapy with docetaxel and trastuzumab or trastuzumab deruxtecan in treating patients with recurrent, metastatic or unresectable salivary gland cancer.

Personalized Antibody-Drug Conjugate Therapy Based on RNA and Protein Testing for the Treatment of Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors (The ADC MATCH Screening and Treatment Trial)

Multiple Cancer Types

This phase II ADC MATCH screening and multi-sub-study treatment trial is evaluating whether biomarker-directed treatment with one of three antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) (sacituzumab govitecan, enfortumab vedotin, and trastuzumab deruxtecan) works in treating patients with solid tumor cancers that have high expression of the Trop-2, nectin-4, or HER2 proteins and that may have spread from where they first started (primary site) to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or to other places in the body (metastatic). Precision medicine is a form of medicine that uses information about a person's genes, proteins, and environment to prevent, diagnose, or treat disease in a way that is tailored to the patient. ADCs such as sacituzumab govitecan, enfortumab vedotin, and trastuzumab deruxtecan are monoclonal antibodies attached to biologically active drugs and are a form of targeted therapy. Sacituzumab govitecan is a monoclonal antibody, called sacituzumab, linked to a drug called govitecan. Sacituzumab attaches to a protein called Trop-2 on the surface of tumor cells and delivers govitecan to kill them. Enfortumab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, enfortumab, linked to an anticancer drug called vedotin. It works by helping the immune system to slow or stop the growth of tumor cells. Enfortumab attaches to a protein called nectin-4 on tumor cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. Trastuzumab deruxtecan is composed of a monoclonal antibody, called trastuzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, called deruxtecan. Trastuzumab attaches to HER2 positive tumor cells in a targeted way and delivers deruxtecan to kill them. Personalized treatment with sacituzumab govitecan, enfortumab vedotin, or trastuzumab deruxtecan may be an effective treatment option for patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that screen positive for high expression of Trop-2, nectin-4, or HER2, respectively.

Targeted Therapy Directed by Genetic Testing in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced or Advanced Solid Tumors, The ComboMATCH Screening Trial

Multiple Cancer Types

This ComboMATCH patient screening trial is the gateway to a coordinated set of clinical trials to study cancer treatment directed by genetic testing. Patients with solid tumors that have spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or have spread to other places in the body (advanced) and have progressed on at least one line of standard systemic therapy or have no standard treatment that has been shown to prolong overall survival may be candidates for these trials. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with some genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit from treatment that targets that particular genetic mutation. ComboMATCH is designed to match patients to a treatment that may work to control their tumor and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with locally advanced or advanced solid tumors.

A Study to See if Giving Fianlimab and Cemiplimab Together is Better Than Cemiplimab Alone at Treating Recurrent or Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Multiple Cancer Types

This study is researching an experimental drug called fianlimab (also called REGN3767), combined with a medication called cemiplimab compared against cemiplimab combined with placebo (a placebo looks like a treatment but does not contain any real medicine), collectively called "study drugs" in this form.

The study is focused on participants with head and neck cancers who have not been previously treated for head and neck cancer that has come back or spread to other parts of the body, referred to as recurrent or metastatic (R/M) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).

The study is looking at several other research questions, including:

* What side effects may happen from taking the study drugs
* How much of each study drug is in the blood at different times
* Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug(s) individually (which could make the study drugs less effective or could lead to side effects)
* Compatible research to better understand the study drugs and HNSCC

Photobiomodulation in Head and Neck Cancer-Related Chronic Lymphedema

Head/Neck

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) as a treatment for breast cancer-related arm lymphedema (BCRL) in 2006. The investigators conducted two pilot clinical trials. Results demonstrated the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of PBMT for the treatment of chronic lymphedema in head and neck cancer (HNC) survivors. The objective of this study is to further investigate and confirm the positive effects of PBMT on HNC-related chronic lymphedema.

Evaluating rhPDGF-BB-Enhanced Wound Matrix for Head and Neck Reconstruction

Head/Neck

Skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma lesions that develop on the head and neck are treated by Mohs surgery or wide local excision to remove all tumor cells and preserve the normal tissue. These surgical techniques may result in large defects requiring reconstruction to restore function and aesthetics. Rotational flaps and free flaps are techniques used to reconstruct large, complex defects that cannot be closed with sutures, staples, or glue. Older, frail patients are particularly vulnerable to complications from these procedures often leaving them to care for chronic wounds until a skin graft can be placed. Phenome-wide association studies (PheWAS) revealed a cohort of patients with a single nucleotide variant (SNV) in PDGFR having a higher incidence of chronic skin ulcers, skin grafts, and other skin and connective tissue disorders suggesting that the loss of PDGF signaling may impair healing following trauma. rhPDGF-BB, a recombinant human platelet derived growth factor protein-based therapy, signals through PDGFR to mediate inflammation, granulation, angiogenesis, and remodeling during wound healing and skin repair and is FDA cleared for diabetic neuropathic ulcers and periodontal bone and soft tissue reconstructions. These data suggest rhPDGF-BB may be a viable therapeutic strategy to augment the reconstruction of these complex defects by accelerating granulation, epithelialization, and wound closure.
