GEMINI-NSCLC: TEMPUS NSCLC SURVEILLANCE STUDY

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new test being developed by Tempus for patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). The goal of this new test is to predict the likelihood of a patient's cancer coming back after treatment, and to further explore changes in patient's tumors throughout treatment to see how they respond.

EASINESS Prospective molecular analysis In metastatic breast cancer patients treated with antibody drug conjugates

The purpose of this study is to determine if it is possible to identify biomarkers that tell us what type of response a person with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) will have to "antibody-drug conjugates" (ADCs).

A Feasibility and Randomized Phase 2/3 Study of the VEFGR2/MET Inhibitor Cabozantinib in Combination with Cytotoxic Chemotherapy for Newly Diagnosed Osteosarcoma

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone malignancy of childhood and adolescence. Survival rates for patients with standard risk (localized, resectable primary tumors) and high-risk disease (presence of metastases, unresectable or primary pelvic tumors) are 70% and 20-30%, respectively, and have remained unchanged for several decades despite numerous attempts to augment standard therapies. Multi-targeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (MTKIs), such as cabozantinib, can target signaling pathways that are known to be altered in osteosarcoma. Several MTKIs including cabozantinib have recently shown clinical evidence of activity in prospective studies for both pediatric and adult patients with advanced osteosarcoma. Furthermore, feasibility of administering MTKIs in combination with cytotoxic chemotherapy has previously been shown in patients with AML, hepatocellular carcinoma, and soft tissue sarcomas. Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone malignancy of childhood and adolescence. Survival rates for patients with standard risk (localized, resectable primary tumors) and high-risk disease (presence of metastases, unresectable or primary pelvic tumors) are 70% and 20-30%, respectively, and have remained unchanged for several decades

Brain slice explants to predict drug response in brain tumors

You are being asked to participate in this research study because you have a type of tumor called a Central Nervous System (CNS) tumor, and you are scheduled to have surgery to remove this tumor. The study team wants to use left-over tumor samples from this surgery to study your tumor and test new ways to fight it.

Intravesical BCG vs GEMDOCE in NMIBC (BRIDGE)

This study is being done to answer the following question: Can we lower the chance of your bladder cancer growing or spreading by using one type of chemotherapy instilled in the bladder, Gemcitabine and Docetaxel, instead of the usual BCG therapy? We are doing this study because we want to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for your bladder cancer. The usual approach is defined as care most people get for bladder cancer.

Promoting Clinical Trials in African Americans with Pancreatic Cancer

This study seeks to promote clinical trial engagement in African Americans with pancreatic cancer. The first group of people will be interviewed by phone to discuss clinical trials. This information will be used to create a new mobile health app/website. In the second group, half of the participants will receive the new app and half will not. They will both be asked to complete questionnaires after their upcoming doctor visits.

Genetic counseling using videos in patients with ovarian and uterine cancer

Some female cancers may be genetic, meaning they are passed down from a parent through DNA (our genetic code or roadmap). In people with certain types of ovarian and uterine cancer, it may be helpful to test their DNA for any errors that can cause cancer. There are lots of important pieces of information to share when someone is diagnosed with cancer, and we are exploring a new way to share information. Patients with certain types of ovarian or uterine cancers will watch a short video that explains what genetic testing is and why it is so important. They will fill out a survey about what they think about the video and if the information is helpful.
