Pancreatic cancer is a deadly disease and the best hope for improving the chances of survival is to find it early. Some patients, called "high risk", have an inherited predisposition to pancreatic cancer. Certain medical centers have started programs where "high risk patients" undergo testing, such as receiving imaging scans, to look for…
The purpose of this study is to find out if the study medicine called EDIT-301 will help in the treatment of Severe Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) and how safe it is to be used in people. EDIT-301 (study medicine) is a new investigational therapy which uses the patient's own stem cells, modifies them by CRISPR technology, and infuses them back to the…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how safe and effective the NanoKnife System is at treating Stage 3 pancreatic adenocarcinoma. This is registry study and therefore, the NanoKnife System is not being used for study purposes. The safety and efficacy of this system will be evaluated by comparing survival rates, pain ratings, and number of adverse…
The purpose of this study is to learn about whether the study drug (PF-07209326) is safe and effective in people with sickle cell disease and learn about what the right dose is. We will look at drug levels in the blood, see how fast drug levels rise and fall, and what effects the drug has, all of which are known as the pharmacokinetics (PK) and…
The purpose of this study is to learn which treatment works best in patients with pancreatic cancer. The study explores multiple treatment combinations. A study drug called atezolizumab may be combined with other drugs such as cobimetinib, PEGPH20, and BL-8040. Patients may also be assigned to receive standard chemotherapy treatment.
The purpose of this study is to test the good and bad effects of the combined treatment, using the drugs cetuximab and avelumab as well as avelumab by itself. Avelumab is a drug that works by triggering the immune system so it can try to attack the cancer again. Avelumab works in a similar way to cemiplimab, which is the usual drug for treatment of your…
The purpose of this research is to learn how to help parent youth pairs work together to help youth with sickle cell disease take hydroxyurea every day as a daily habit. This study is for children and teens ages 10-18 with Sickle Cell Anemia taking hydroxyurea, and their parents (or guardians). Many children and teens do not use hydroxyurea every day. Daily…
This research study is being conducted to see if a new treatment using a study drug called Olaparib given after platinum based chemotherapy treatments can reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer from growing back. Participants will receive either Olaparib or placebo (no contains active medication) and will stay on the research study for as long as they are not…
The purpose of this study is to test whether GVAX pancreas vaccine and CRS-207 together are safe and work better than chemotherapy to treat individuals with advanced pancreatic cancer who have received at least one prior chemotherapy treatment for metastatic cancer. This study will also look at whether CRS-207 alone is safe and works better than…
This study is for adult subjects with head and neck cancer (oral cavity, oropharynx middle part of the throat, hypopharynx bottom part of the throat, or larynx part of throat between the base of the tongue and the windpipe) that has either returned after treatment (recurrent) or is newly diagnosed. If newly diagnosed, the cancer must be metastatic,…
This study is for patients with melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), or squamous cell cancer of the head and neck (SCCHN) that has a protein called B7-H3 on the tumor cells or blood vessels in thetumor. The purpose of this study is to test the safety, tolerability, and most effective dose ofMGA271 in combination with ipilimumab (also called Yervoy…
This study is being done to see if giving your child a lower dose of chemotherapy (drug therapy), than has been used historically in bone marrow transplant, to kill his/her own diseased cells before he/she receives a bone marrow transplant, will possibly result in the permanent control of your child's sickle cell disease. Patients will receive busulfan…
This study is for patients with recurrent or metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (SCCHN). This study will test the safety of an experimental anti-cancer drug (MEDI4736). MEDI4736 is an antibody (a protein produced by the defense system of the body immune system) that has been made in the laboratory. MEDI4736 boosts the ability of your…
The purpose of this study is to find out which doses of talimogene laherparepvec (T-Vec) can be given safely to patients with pancreatic cancer that is either too big to be taken out by surgery or has spread to other parts of the body. The study will also see if T-Vec can cause tumor shrinkage or prevent its growth. To find out which doses are safe, all…
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of study drug MEDI4736 monotherapy, tremelimumab monotherapy, and MEDI4736 and tremelimumab combination therapy in the treatment of patients with recurrent or metastatic PD-L1-negative squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck who have progressed during or after treatment with…
