In addition, this…
This study evaluates whether the addition of immune therapy to usual FOLFOX chemotherapy in patients with deficient DNA mismatch repair stage III colon cancer can improve your outcome compared to FOLFOX alone. The immune therapy drug, atezolizumab, may allow your body's immune system to more effectively kill cancer cells in your body. One of the…
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, good or bad, of the cancer immunotherapy combination treatments (CIT) combinations versus standard treatment on you and your colorectal cancer to find out which is better.
This research study is a phase II clinical trial. Phase II clinical trials test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational treatment to learn whether the intervention works in treating a specific disease. Investigational means that the intervention is being studied. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Nivolumab as treatment for…
This study is being done to answer the following question: Does duloxetine (either 30 mg or 60 mg) prevent numbness, tingling, and/or pain caused by your colorectal cancer treatment with oxaliplatin? We are doing this study because we want to find out if duloxetine can prevent Oxaliplatin-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (OIPN).
This study will test whether cabozantinib in combination with nivolumab plus ipilimumab is more effective (works better) than nivolumab plus ipilimumab alone in treating patients with advanced kidney cancer who have not received prior treatment for their cancer. This study will also examine how safe cabozantinib is in combination with nivolumab plus…
This study is for patients who have renal cell carcinoma (RCC; a type of kidney cancer) and are at a high risk of disease coming back (disease recurrence) following either nephrectomy (surgical procedure to remove all or part of a kidney) or metastasectomy (removal of cancerous growth that has spread away from your kidney). The purpose of this study is to…
The main purpose of this study is to look at the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of study drug CTX-4430 when compared to a placebo (sugar pill) taken once-daily for 48 Weeks in adult patients with CysticFibrosis (CF).
This study is for patients who have been prescribed tobramycin inhalation powder (TOBI Podhaler) or another inhaled medication used to treat cystic fibrosis patients whose lungs contain bacteria called Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
