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 |
If Landon Ryan had been diagnosed with bilateral retinoblastoma 10, 20 or 30 years ago, she might not be here today with nearly perfect vision.Thanks to recent improvements in the treatment for this rare form of cancer that almost exclusively affects children under the age of 5, the diagnosis had the power to change Landon’s life when she was 11 months old, but not to take it — or her eyesight.

Testing the Addition of an Anti-Cancer Drug, ZEN003694, to the Usual Chemotherapy Treatment (Capecitabine) for Metastatic or Unresectable Cancers
Multiple Cancer Types
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of ZEN003694 in combination with the usual treatment with capecitabine in treating patients with cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) and that it has progressed on previous standard treatment. ZEN003694 is an inhibitor of a family of proteins called the bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET). It may prevent the growth of tumor cells that over produce BET protein. Capecitabine is in a class of medications called antimetabolites. It is taken up by cancer cells and breaks down into fluorouracil, a substance that kills cancer cells. Giving ZEN003694 in combination with capecitabine may be safe in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable solid tumors.

A Study of PHST001 in Advanced Solid Tumors
Miscellaneous
Miscellaneous
This is a multi-center, first-in-human (FIH), open-label, Phase 1a/1b dose escalation and dose expansion study to assess the safety, PK, pharmacodynamics, and antitumor activity of PHST001 monotherapy (Phase 1a) or in combination with anticancer therapies (Phase 1b) in adult participants with advanced relapsed and/or refractory solid tumors (including but not limited to CNS tumors in Phase 1a only). Phase 1b will include the following cohorts 1) tumor-specific cohorts for participants with advanced relapsed and/or refractory ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, and cholangiocarcinoma, 2) a randomized cohort for participants with ovarian cancer who will receive PHST001 in combination with mirvetuximab soravtansine, 3) a cohort for participants with advanced/metastatic breast cancer who will receive PHST001 in combination with trastuzumab deruxtecan and 4) a cohort of patients who consent to additional biomarker studies.
The study's primary objectives are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of PHST001 and determine the RP2D (Recommended Phase 2 dose) of PHST001 as monotherapy and in combination with anticancer therapies, as well as to assess the anti-tumor activity of PHST001 in combination with anticancer therapies in Phase 1b.

A Three-Part Phase 3 Study of Sofetabart Mipitecan in Participants With Platinum-Resistant (Part A) and Platinum-Sensitive (Parts B and C) Ovarian Cancer
Multiple Cancer Types
This is a clinical study that has three parts. It is testing a potential new medicine called Sofetabart Mipitecan (Sofe-M) for people with certain types of ovarian, peritoneal, and fallopian tube cancers. Part A enrolls participants with platinum-resistant cancer, meaning their disease progressed during or within six months of platinum-based chemotherapy. Parts B and C enroll participants with platinum-sensitive cancer, whose disease responded and remained controlled for at least six months after completing platinum treatment. The researchers want to find out if Sofe-M works better than the standard treatments that doctors use now and to better understand how safe it is. Each participant's time in the study will depend on how they respond to the treatment.

Testing the Anti-cancer Drug, Glofitamab, in Patients With Mantle Cell Lymphoma (A Type of Blood Cancer) Whose Disease Returned After CAR-T Cell Therapy
Lymphoma
Lymphoma
This phase II trial tests the safety and side effects of glofitamab and obinutuzumab and how well they work in treating patients with mantle cell lymphoma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory) after receiving CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. CAR T-cell therapy is a form of immunotherapy where the immune system cell, T-cell, is changed to attack cancer cells. Glofitamab is a bispecific antibody that can bind to two different antigens at the same time. Glofitamab binds to CD3, a protein found on T cells (a type of white blood cell), and CD20 a protein found on B cells (another type of white blood cell) and some lymphoma cells. This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. Obinutuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. 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). Giving glofitamab and obinutuzumab may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma after receiving CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy.

Targeted Treatment for Metastatic Prostate Cancer, The PREDICT Trial
Prostate
Prostate
This phase II trial evaluates whether genetic testing in prostate cancer is helpful in deciding which study treatment patients are assigned. Patient cancer tissue samples are obtained from a previous surgery or biopsy procedure and tested for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) abnormalities or mutations in their cancer. Valemetostat tosylate is in a class of medications called EZH1/EZH2 inhibitors. It blocks proteins called EZH1 and EZH2, which may help slow or stop the spread of tumor cells. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Cabazitaxel injection is in a class of medications called microtubule inhibitors. It works by slowing or stopping the growth of tumor cells. Abiraterone acetate blocks tissues from making androgens (male hormones), such as testosterone. This may cause the death of tumor cells that need androgens to grow. It is a type of anti-androgen. Enzalutamide is in a class of medications called androgen receptor inhibitors. It works by blocking the effects of androgen (a male reproductive hormone) to stop the growth and spread of tumor cells. Lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan is in a class of medications called radiopharmaceuticals. It works by targeting and delivering radiation directly to tumor cells which damages and kills these cells. Assigning patients to targeted treatment based on genetic testing may help shrink or slow the cancer from growing

A Study Using Nivolumab, in Combination With Chemotherapy Drugs to Treat Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC)
This phase II trial tests effects of nivolumab in combination with chemotherapy drugs prior to radiation therapy patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). 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 gemcitabine and cisplatin, 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. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Researchers want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, adding nivolumab to chemotherapy has on patients with newly diagnosed NPC. In addition, they want to find out if children with NPC may be treated with less radiation therapy and whether this decreases the side effects of therapy.

DCIS: RECAST Trial Ductal Carcinoma In Situ: Re-Evaluating Conditions for Active Surveillance Suitability as Treatment
Breast
Breast
The goal of this trial is to see if active surveillance monitoring and hormonal therapy in patients diagnosed with ductal cell carcinoma in situ (DCIS), an early stage of breast cancer, can be an effective management of the disease.
Participants will be asked to receive control hormonal therapy or an investigational hormonal therapy treatment. Participants will be asked to return for evaluation with MRI at three months and six months. Depending on the evaluation participants will have the option to continue on the treatment. If the evaluation suggests surgery is recommended, the participant will discontinue the study treatment and will undergo surgery. In addition to the treatment and MRI evaluation, participants will be asked to provide blood sample to understand their immune status, provide saliva sample for genetic testing, provide the study with a portion of the tissue or slides generated from tissue removed during surgery performed as part of their standard of care.

Xylitol Dental Wipes for the Reduction of Bloodstream Infection Risk in Children With Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Pediatric Leukemia
Pediatric Leukemia
This phase III trial compares the effect of xylitol dental wipes to dental wipes without xylitol for the reduction of bloodstream infection in children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar compound found in fruits and vegetables. Xylitol has been shown to limit the growth of bacteria in the mouth, and to reduce cavities, plaque on the teeth, and inflammation of the gums. Treatment for AML includes chemotherapy. Patients receiving chemotherapy for AML have a risk of developing bloodstream infections. Bloodstream infections can make patients very sick, can contribute to delays in treatment, and can even cause death. In AML patients, bacteria or fungus (yeast) can sometimes enter the bloodstream from the mouth. Using xylitol dental wipes may help to reduce bloodstream infections in children being treated for AML.
