Lenalidomide, and Dexamethasone With or Without Daratumumab in Treating Patients With High-Risk Smoldering Myeloma

Smoldering Plasma Cell Myeloma

This phase III trial studies how well lenalidomide and dexamethasone works with or without daratumumab in treating patients with high-risk smoldering myeloma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as lenalidomide and dexamethasone, 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. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as daratumumab, may induce changes in the body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving lenalidomide and dexamethasone with daratumumab may work better in treating patients with smoldering myeloma.

Senolytics To slOw Progression of Sepsis (STOP-Sepsis) Trial

Sepsis ยท Acute Infection ยท Organ Failure

The long-term goal is to test the clinical efficacy of senolytic therapies to reduce progression to and severity of sepsis in older patients. The central hypothesis is that a threshold burden of SnCs predisposes to a SASP mediated dysfunctional response to PAMPs, contributing to a disproportionate burden of sepsis in older patients. The study hypothesizes timely treatment with fisetin will interrupt this pathway. A multicenter, randomized, adaptive allocation clinical trial to identify the most efficacious dose of the senolytic fisetin to reduce the composite cardiovascular, respiratory, and renal sequential organ failure assessment score at 1 week, and predict the probability of success of a definitive phase III clinical trial.

A Study of Brenipatide in Adult Participants With Major Depressive Disorder

Depressive Disorder, Major

This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of brenipatide when administered with standard of care (SoC) compared to placebo plus SoC in delaying the return of major depressive symptoms. The trial is divided into four periods as follows: a screening period that will last approximately 1 month, a treatment period with a potential post treatment period that combined will last a minimum of 12 months, and the follow up period that will last approximately 2 months.

Use of CA125 and Complementary Biomarkers for the Early Detection of Ovarian Cancer in Low Risk Women

Ovarian Cancer

The goal of this clinical research study is to find out if combining a standard blood test (CA-125) that checks for ovarian cancer with other blood tests that check for related tumor markers may be helpful in the early detection of ovarian cancer in women who are at low risk. Tumor markers are substances in the blood that may be related to ovarian cancer.

A Study of Lower Radiotherapy Dose to Treat Children With CNS Germinoma

Basal Ganglia Germinoma ยท Diabetes Insipidus ยท Germinoma

This phase II trial studies how well lower dose radiotherapy after chemotherapy (Carboplatin \& Etoposide) works in treating children with central nervous system (CNS) germinomas. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. 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. 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. Researchers want to see if lowering the dose of standard radiotherapy (RT) after chemotherapy can help get rid of CNS germinomas with fewer long-term side effects.

Testing Shorter Duration Radiation Therapy Versus the Usual Radiation Therapy in Patients With High Risk Prostate Cancer

Prostate Adenocarcinoma ยท Stage III Prostate Cancer AJCC v8 ยท Stage IVA Prostate Cancer AJCC v8

This phase III trial compares stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), (five treatments over two weeks using a higher dose per treatment) to usual radiation therapy (20 to 45 treatments over 4 to 9 weeks) for the treatment of high-risk prostate cancer. SBRT uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period of time. This trial is evaluating if shorter duration radiation prevents cancer from coming back as well as the usual radiation treatment.

E-Tailored Pain Management Support for Dementia Family Caregivers: Feasibility of the PACE-app

Care Giving Burden ยท Dementia ยท Chronic Pain

The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether a web-based application called the Pain Control Enhancement App (PACE-app) can support family caregivers in managing pain for their care recipients with dementia. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is it feasible and acceptable for family caregivers to use the PACE-app? Does using the PACE-app improve caregiver self-efficacy in pain management, adherence to pain treatments, communication with care providers, well-being, and their care recipient's pain conditions? Researchers will compare caregivers who use the PACE-app to those who continue with their usual care practices to see if the app leads to better outcomes for both caregivers and care recipients. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to either the PACE-app group or a usual-care control group Complete online surveys at baseline, 1 month, and 2 months If assigned to the PACE-app group: Use the PACE-app for 1 month to receive tailored pain management strategies and tools, and record their care recipient's pain in a digital diary Participate in an interview about their experience with the app All participation activities can be done remotely or in person.

Sitagliptin With Pembro in RCC and Melanoma

Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma ยท Advanced Melanoma

This study is testing whether adding the drug sitagliptin to the standard immunotherapy pembrolizumab is safe and may help people with advanced melanoma or advanced renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer) whose cancer has stopped responding to prior PD-1 or PD-L1 immunotherapy. The study has two parts. In the first part, small groups of participants will receive different doses of sitagliptin along with a fixed dose of pembrolizumab. This helps researchers find the highest dose of sitagliptin that can be given safely. In the second part, more participants will receive the safest dose to see how well the drug combination works against their cancer.

Testing Addition of an Anti-cancer Drug, Vorasidenib to Temozolomide, After Radiation for Advanced Brain Cancer

Astrocytoma, IDH-Mutant, Grade 3

This phase III trial compares the effect of vorasidenib to placebo in combination with usual treatment, temozolomide, in treating patients with newly diagnosed grade 3 astrocytoma after radiation. Temozolomide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's deoxyribonucleic acid and may kill tumor cells and slow down or stop tumor growth. Vorasidenib citrate blocks the proteins made by the mutated IDH1 and IDH2 genes, which may help keep tumor cells from growing. It is a type of enzyme inhibitor and a type of targeted therapy. Adding vorasidenib to the usual treatment, temozolomide, may be more effective than temozolomide alone in treating patients with newly diagnosed grade 3 astrocytoma after radiation therapy.

Study Adding Drugs to Usual Treatment for Large B-Cell Lymphoma That Returned or Did Not Respond to Treatment

Grade 3b Follicular Lymphoma ยท High Grade B-Cell Lymphoma ยท High Grade B-Cell Lymphoma With MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 Rearrangements

This phase 2 trial studies the side effects and best dose of tazemetostat and zanubrutinib in combination with tafasitamab and lenalidomide, and to see how well these combinations work in treating patients with large B-cell lymphoma that returned or did not respond to earlier treatment. Tazemetostat is in a class of medications called EZH2 inhibitors. It helps to stop the spread of cancer cells. Zanubrutinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of the abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps stop the spread of cancer cells. tafasitamab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Lenalidomide is in a class of medications called immunomodulatory agents. It works by helping the bone marrow to produce normal blood cells and by killing abnormal cells in the bone marrow. The addition of tazemetostat or zanubrutinib to tafasitamab and lenalidomide may be able to shrink the cancer or extend the time without cancer symptoms coming back.
