Neither…
This study will investigate the safety and effectiveness of the study drug SGI-110 in combination with two immunotherapy drugs named durvalumab and tremelimumab in patients with small cell lung cancer who have progressed on other treatments. SGI-110 is a form of chemotherapy known as a "hypomethylating agent" and may help the immunotherapy work…
The purpose of this research study is to determine if chloroquine is effective in health care workers with moderate to high risk of exposure to COVID-19 in preventing symptomatic COVID-19 infections. The time frame for your involvement in the study is 3 months. During month 0, participants will be screened and randomized (like a flip of a coin) to a 3-month…
This research study is being done to test the combination of two new drugs, GSK3359609 and Tremelimumab, in certain cancers. These two drugs are experimental which means they have not been fully tested yet and are not yet approved to treat any disease. There are two parts to this study. Part 1 determines the best dose for the study drugs and part 2 compares…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the combination of study drug MEDI4736 and tremelimumab in treating advanced non-small cell lung cancer that is resistant to or returned after receiving standard therapies, for which there is no available standard therapies, or for individuals who have declined standard therapies. MEDI4736 and tremelimumab are fully…
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of cobimetinib plus atezolizumab with the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab in patients with a type of skin cancer called melanoma that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic), cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable), and have not received any prior treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the study drug is safe and evaluate whether adjuvant therapy with the study drug will improve overall survival. The study drug is crizotinib (also known as XALKORI). The study will also collect tumor tissue and blood samples for future research.
