A Feasibility Multicenter Phase I Study of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring-Based Atezolizumab Dosing

Researchers are enrolling people with locally advanced or metastatic cancer who are prescribed atezolizumab (alone or with other approved treatments). The study will monitor blood levels to adjust infusion schedules, aiming to see if lower or less frequent doses can be given without reducing effectiveness, over a period of up to 2 years.

Phase 1 Study with Dose Expansion of the Anti-Mesothelin TNaive/SCM hYP218 (TNhYP218) CAR T Cells in Participants with Mesothelin-Expressing Solid Tumors Including Mesothelioma

Researchers at NCI are developing a new investigational treatment known as TNhYP218 CAR T cells to target and kill tumor cells in people with solid tumors and with those that have high levels of mesothelin (MSLN) including mesothelioma. The study team collects immune cells (T cells); the T cells are genetically modified to target and kill tumor cells to potentially shrink the tumor.

CAR-T Cell Treatment for Patients with Glypican-3 (GPC3) Positive HCC (A Type of Liver Cancer)

CAR-T Cell Treatment for Patients with Glypican-3 (GPC3) Positive HCC (A Type of Liver Cancer)

Investigators at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) are enrolling patients with advanced hepatocellular cancers (HCC), in a clinical trial using engineered immune cells, also known as chimeric antigen receptor T-cells or CAR-T cells. In this study, your immune T-cells are collected and modified to target Glypican-3 (GPC3), a protein marker found on the surface of HCC tumors. Researchers hope the altered cells will help identify and fight the cancer cells.

Phase II Trial Evaluating Nivolumab in Patients with IDH-Mutant Gliomas with and without Hypermutator Phenotype

Phase II Trial Evaluating Nivolumab in Patients with IDH-Mutant Gliomas with and without Hypermutator Phenotype

National Cancer Institute (NCI) researchers are conducting a study of patients with IDH-mutated gliomas. This study will test whether stimulating the immune system using the drug nivolumab can shrink recurrent IDH-mutant gliomas with and without hypermutator phenotype or increase the time it takes for them to grow or spread.

Men at High Genetic Risk for Prostate Cancer

Men at High Genetic Risk for Prostate Cancer

Join a National Institutes of Health (NIH) research study seeking mean men who have a genetic risk factor for developing prostate cancer. Researchers want to follow the prostate health of men who have specific genetic changes associated with prostate cancer to help them learn more about which men are at higher risk for prostate cancer.

A Phase II Study of Combined Treatment of Durvalumab, Bevacizuamab, Tremelimumab and Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) in Subjects with Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)or Biliary Tract Carcinoma (BTC)

A Phase II Study of Combined Treatment of Durvalumab, Bevacizuamab, Tremelimumab and Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) in Subjects with Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)or Biliary Tract Carcinoma (BTC)

Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cancer in the world. Patients with advanced HCC survive an average of 6 to 9 months. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health are testing the use of an immunotherapy medication called durvalumab, with two other chemotherapy medications, doxorubicin-eluting beads and bevacizumab. This clinical research study will investigate if this combination of medications can stop the progression of HCC.
