A Study of Lorlatinib in Combination With Ramucirumab in People With Lung Cancer

This study will test the safety of the combination of ramucirumab and lorlatinib. The researchers will test one or two different doses of lorlatinib in combination with ramucirumab to find the drug combination dose that causes few or mild side effects in participants. Once the researchers find this dose, they can test it in future participants to see if it is effective in treating their metastatic ALK-rearranged NSCLC. The researchers are also looking to see whether there are specific genes or DNA sequences associated with a response to treatment with lorlatinib and ramucirumab.

Electroacupuncture for the Prevention of Recurrent Lower Urinary Tract Infection in Women

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate if electroacupuncture works to prevent recurrent lower urinary tract infections in female patients. It will also learn about the safety of electroacupuncture. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does electroacupuncture reduce the attacks of acute recurrent urinary tract infections in women? 2. What medical problems do participants have when taking electroacupuncture? Researchers will compare electroacupuncture to sham electroacupuncture to assess if electroacupuncture works to prevent recurrent lower urinary tract infections. Participants will: 1. Take electroacupuncture or sham electroacupuncture for 30 minutes per session over a 6-month period. During the first month, treatment was administered 3 times weekly (once every other day); the second month, 2 times weekly (once every 2-3 days); and the 3-6 month, once monthly. 2. Visit the hospital at the end of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 6th months for follow-up evaluations. 3. Keep a diary of their symptoms and the number of times they use an antibiotic.

Autologous CAR-T Cells Targeting CSPG4 in Relapsed/Refractory HNSCC

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of using a new treatment called autologous T lymphocyte chimeric antigen receptor cells against the CSPG4 antigen (iC9.CAR-CSPG4 T cells) in patients with head and neck cancer that came back after receiving standard therapy for this cancer. The iC9.CAR-CSPG4 treatment is experimental and has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. How many (dose) of the iC9.CAR. CSPG4 T cells are safe to use in patients without causing too many side effects, and what is the maximum dose that could be tolerated will be investigated. The information collected from the study would help cancer patients in the future. There are two parts to this study. In part 1, blood will be collected to prepare the iC9.CAR-CSPG4 T cells. Disease fighting T cells will be isolated and modified to prepare the iC9.CAR-CSPG4 T cells. In part 2, the iC9.CAR-CSPG4 T cells are given by infusion after completion of lymphodepletion chemotherapy. The data from the dose escalation will be used to determine a recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), which will be decided based on the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Additionally, recommended phase 2 dose will be tested. Eligible subjects will receive lymphodepletion chemotherapy standard followed by infusion of iC9-CAR.CSPG4 T cells. After treatment completion or discontinuation, subjects will be followed since involving gene transfer experiments.

Cervical Cancer Oligo States (Recurrence, Metastasis) Multicentre Outcomes Study.

Systemic chemotherapy with or without palliative radiation represents the current standard of care in patients with recurrent or metastatic cervix cancer. In addition, pelvic radiotherapy including brachytherapy is also recommended. There is no consensus on the treatment of metastatic site in patients with oligo-metastatic or oligo-recurrent cervix cancer. Also, it is not clear if addition of local treatment to systemic chemotherapy benefits all patients with metastatic disease or a select few with limited systemic disease burden. It's presently unclear which patients derive maximum benefit with integration of radiation at both primary and metastatic site, who develop infield recurrence if performing salvage surgery, locally directed treatments or re-irradiation in addition to systemic chemotherapy improves overall outcomes. The heterogeneity in clinical practice provides an important opportunity to develop a framework for data collection and future studies within such subgroup of patients. In this retrospective study, we aim to determine overall survival, Infield progression free survival, overall progression free survival, dose response relationship of nodal and visceral progressions, and within setting of re-irradiation (infield progressions), severe adverse events and toxicity, risk groups identification, a nomogram which correlates risk groups with expected outcomes, and framework for tissue collection for translational research Investigators will record the parameters in a predesigned proforma without including personal identifiers.

A Phase II Study of Utidelone With Toripalimab in Advanced Cervical Cancer

This is a Phase II clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Utidelone, a genetically engineered epothilone derivative, combined with Toripalimab, a PD-1 inhibitor, in patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer who have progressed after standard treatments. The study will also assess the safety profile of this combination therapy. The primary objectives of this study include: (1) to determine the objective response rate (ORR), meaning whether the treatment can reduce the size of tumors or make them disappear, according to the RECIST 1.1 criteria; (2) to evaluate the safety of the treatment and document the side effects experienced by participants. This study is for individuals who: (1) are between 18 and 75 years old; (2) have a confirmed diagnosis of recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer; (3) have previously received at least one standard chemotherapy regimen that is no longer controlling the cancer; (4) are in generally good health, as determined by the study investigators. In this single-arm study, all participants will receive the same treatment: Utidelone will be administered by intravenous (IV) infusion over 1.5 hours, once a day for 5 consecutive days, in each 21-day treatment cycle; Toripalimab will be administered by IV infusion over 1.5 hours, once on Day 6 of each 21-day cycle. Participants may continue receiving the study drugs as long as they are benefiting from the treatment and side effects are manageable. Doctors will assess tumor size using imaging scans (like CT or MRI) every 6 weeks to monitor how the cancer responds to treatment. The study will take place at Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University and plans to include approximately 32 participants.

Association Between Exercise, Patient-Reported Outcomes, and Clinical Events in Adult Cancer Survivors

This protocol is a retrospective study using observational data to conduct a target trial emulation to examine the association of exercise on cancer specific endpoints and other clinical outcomes in cancer survivors.

Autologous CAR-T Cells Targeting B7H3 in Ovarian Cancer iC9-CAR.B7-H3 T Cells

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of using a new treatment called autologous T lymphocyte chimeric antigen receptor cells against the B7-H3 antigen (iC9-CAR.B7-H3 T cells) in patients with ovarian cancer that came back after receiving standard therapy for this cancer. The iC9.CAR.B7-H3 treatment is experimental and has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The study team wants to know how much (dose) of the iC9-CAR.B7-H3 T cells are safe to use in patients without causing too many side effects and what is the maximum dose could be tolerated. There are two parts to this study. In part 1, approximately blood will be collected from subjects to prepare the iC9.CAR.B7-H3 T cells. The study team will collect disease-fighting T cells from the blood and modify them to prepare the iC9.CAR.B7-H3 T cells. In part 2, the iC9.CAR.B7-H3 T cells will be given to eligible subjects by infusion three days after completion of lymphodepletion chemotherapy.
