Study Objectives
Treatment of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) is multidisciplinary and consists of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) followed by surgical removal of the rectal tumor and potentially tumor positive lymph nodes.
1. After surgery, in 15 to 27% of patients that received nCRT no tumor cells can be detected during histopathological examination. In today's clinical practice, all of these patients with a pathological complete response (pCR) are operated upon, with substantial morbidity and mortality. The 5-year survival is 83.3% for patients with a pCR, and 65.6% for those without pCR. Response after nCRT is currently evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, as MRI cannot differentiate between molecular characteristics of tissue, prediction of treatment response can be inaccurate. In patients with a potential cCR on MRI, additionally a high-definition white-light (HD-WL) endoscopy is performed with biopsies of the previous tumor location. If both MRI and HD-WL endoscopy confirm a potential cCR, patients can also be treated with a watch-and-wait approach, including frequent follow-up with HD-WL endoscopy and MRI. This potentially prevents extensive surgical procedures for patients in which this is not required. However, MRI and HD-WL endoscopy often remain insufficient for identification of cCR. Therefore, novel imaging methods are needed for accurate prediction of treatment response in order to select patients. The investigators believe fluorescence molecular endoscopy (FME) could be a promising technique for evaluation of treatment response.
2. During surgery, tumor-negative resection margins are of great prognostic value. Currently, surgeons rely on visual and tactile inspection for differentiation between malignant and healthy tissue. When in doubt, a frozen section can be obtained, which is time consuming and poses a high risk of sampling error. However, 14.7% of patients still have tumor-positive resection margins, increasing the risk of local recurrence and worsening outcome. Therefore, there is a need for novel imaging techniques that can be used intraoperatively to improve margin assessment. The investigators believe molecular fluorescence-guided surgery (MFGS) could be a promising technique for evaluation of resection margins.

Study Objectives
Multiple myeloma is a malignant incurable hematological disease where survival has been significantly improved by high-dose melphalan with autologous stem cell support (ASCT) in younger patients. However, the disease will eventually relapse and new treatment is demanded. Bortezomib is a newly approved drug for treating relapsing multiple myeloma. It has a different biological effect and response even in patients refractory to conventional chemotherapy. The purpose of the study is in a randomized design to investigate if addition of bortezomib by 20 injections during a 4 months period starting 3 month after ASCT can prolong the time to progression compared to patients receiving no consolidation or maintenance therapy.

Study Objectives
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of sitravatinib and how well it works with nivolumab in treating patients with kidney cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Sitravatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving sitravatinib and nivolumab may work better in treating patients with kidney cancer.

Study Objectives
This partially randomized phase I/IIb trial studies the side effects and best dose of IDO1 inhibitor INCB024360 in combination with DEC-205/NY-ESO-1 fusion protein CDX-1401 and poly ICLC and to see how well they work in treating patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who no longer have evidence of disease. Antigens (such as cancer/testis antigen \[NY-ESO-1\] protein) are found on many cancer cells. Vaccines made from NY-ESO-1 protein may cause the immune system to produce immune cells and antibodies that may help locate the NY-ESO-1 and/or cancer/testis antigen 2 (LAGE-1) antigens on cancer cells. By finding them, the immune system may then work to control or eliminate the remaining cancer cells. INCB024360 is an inhibitor of an enzyme called indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase (IDO). This enzyme is produced by tumor cells to disable immune cells, and limit the efficacy of immune attack. Giving DEC-205/NY-ESO-1 fusion protein CDX-1401 with poly ICLC and IDO1 inhibitor INCB024360 may generate stronger and more long lasting anti-cancer immune responses in patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer in remission.

Study Objectives
This is a 3-arm, parallel-group, active- and placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized study, to compare treatment with intravenous custirsen at 640 mg (highest intended therapeutic dose) with placebo. The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of custirsen treatment on cardiac conduction and repolarization (electrical activity of the heart) in healthy subjects. The positive control employed to demonstrate assay sensitivity consists of a group receiving a single oral dose of 400 mg moxifloxacin on day 7. The moxifloxacin arm is un-blinded but the ECG readings are blinded.

| Study_NameA Phase II Study of the FIL on Elderly Frail Patients With DLBCL
| 13,260 |
Study Objectives
This phase II trial studies the effect of a vaccine called CDX-1401 given with or without a biologic drug called CDX-301 in treating patients with stage IIB-IV melanoma. The cancer vaccine CDX-1401 attaches to a protein that is made in tumor cells. The vaccine helps the body recognize the tumor to fight the cancer. The biologic drug CDX-301 may help the body make more of the tumor fighting cells, known as dendritic cells. Another biologic drug, poly-ICLC, may stimulate the immune system and help these dendritic cells mature so that they can recognize the tumor. Giving CDX-301 may make the immune response to a combination of CDX-1401 and poly-ICLC better.

Study Objectives
Rituximab is the first monoclonal antibody to receive approval in the treatment of cancer and has been proven to lead to extended survival when administered intravenously in the treatment of patients with systemic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. We have previously demonstrated that a small fraction of Rituximab administered intravenously is able to cross the blood-brain-barrier into the brain.
We will test the idea that the direct injection into the cerebrospinal fluid of Rituximab, a monoclonal antibody which attacks and kills lymphoma cells, is safe and when used in combination with methotrexate in patients with recurrent brain and intraocular lymphoma.
We will also test the idea that the combination of rituximab plus methotrexate has activity and is effective in the treatment of recurrent brain and intraocular lymphoma.

Study Objectives
Investigators hypothesized that propofol dose for pituitary somatotroph patients might differ from nonfunctioning pituitary tumor, and investigators will evaluate a target controlled infusion (TCI) effect site concentration (Ce) of propofol for BIS score of 40 and LOC (loss of consciousness) in pituitary somatotroph patients in comparison with non functioning pituitary tumor patients.
On arrival in the operating room, standard monitoring devices, including electrocardiogram, pulse oximetry, noninvasive blood pressure cuff, and bispectral index (BIS) will be applied to the patients. Propofol with the modified Marsh pharmacokinetic parameters using a keo of 1.2/min will be administered through TCI pump (OrchestraBase Primea, Fresenius Vial, France). The initial target Ce of propofol will be chosen as 3.0 mg/mL (0.5 mg/mL of incremental size) based on an earlier study.
The sedation of patients will be assessed with BIS score and the modified observer's assessment of awareness and sedation (OAA/S). LOC was defined as an OAA/S lower than 2 (loss of response to spoken command to eye opening and loss of response to mild prodding or shaking). The primary end point of this study is the Ce of propofol when the BIS score is 40. The secondary end point of this study is the Ce of propofol at LOC.

Study Objectives
This phase II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of bortezomib and to see how well it works when given together with combination chemotherapy in treating younger patients with recurrent, refractory, or secondary acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as idarubicin, cytarabine, and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) together with bortezomib may kill more cancer cells

Study Objectives
The study will provide information on outcomes in people with multiple myeloma, or systemic AL amyloidosis, or both, under standard care. AL is short for amyloid light-chain. Standard care means the participant will be treated according to their clinic's standard practice. The study sponsor will not be involved in how participants are treated but will provide instructions on how the clinics will record what happens during the study.
The aim of the study is to learn if treatment duration makes a difference in how participants with multiple myeloma or systemic AL amyloidosis respond to their treatment.
During the study, participants will be treated according to their clinic's standard practice. Participants must have started their treatment up to 12 months before taking part in this study. During the study, the participants will visit their clinic every 3 months. These are extra visits to their clinic's standard visits.

Study Objectives
The study was designed to investigate the optimal management of hyperglycemia developed during pasireotide treatment in participants with Cushing's disease or Acromegaly, which was not manageable with metformin.
This was a Phase IV, multi-center, randomized, open-label study. Eligible patients started pasireotide subcutaneously (s.c.) for Cushing's disease and pasireotide LAR (long-acting release) for Acromegaly.
Participants being treated with pasireotide s.c or LAR at screening were eligible as long as they met protocol criteria during the screening period. If previously normo-glycemic participants experienced an increase in their fasting blood glucose and met the criteria for diabetes while on pasireotide, they started anti-diabetic treatment using metformin. If they continued to have elevated blood glucose above target on metformin within the first 16 weeks, they were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive treatment with incretin based therapy or insulin for approximately 16 weeks.
Participants who continued to receive clinical benefit after completing the Core Phase could enter an optional Extension Phase if pasireotide was not commercially available in their country or a local access program was not available to provide drug. Patients continued in the Extension Phase until the last participant randomized in the Core Phase completed 16 weeks of treatment post-randomization.

Research Problem:
Bladder cancer is one of the major health concerns of the world. The present methods of diagnosis are: Ultra sound, Cystoscopy, CT scan and urine cytology. All these are stressful to the patients, particularly Cystoscopy which is commonly employed for the follow up of Bladder cancer patients.
Research Significance:
The present study will employ a new photodynamic diagnostic procedure to quantify a certain cancer specific biomarker called Porphyrin, which selectively binds on to the bladder cancer tissues. In this context the present technique offer viable, very easy and reliable table top instrumentation for diagnosis and continual monitoring of disease regression through urine.
Research Objectives:
* To quantify bladder cancer specific biomarkers such as Porphyrin using photodynamic diagnostic procedure
* To find out whether this technique might be a new and easy tool for bladder cancer diagnosis only by urine.
Research Methodology:
The bladder cancer patients is required to swallow a chemical called ALA (5 Amino levulinic Acid hydrochloride), about 10mg/kg body weight which will play a role of biological indicator. ALA gets metabolized into certain types of porphyrins which selectively bind on to the tumor tissues (for a longer time than the normal tissues). 5ml of blood and one urine samples will be taken before using ALA. The patient must drink water then the urine will be collected after 4, 8 and 12 hours of taking ALA and the samples will be analyzed by photodynamic diagnostic procedure.

Study Objectives
This randomized phase II clinical trial evaluates the combination of a monoclonal antibody-based drug (SGN-15) with a chemotherapeutic agent compared to chemotherapy given alone in patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has failed at least one prior systemic therapy. The objective of the study is to determine the safety and clinical benefit, as measured by tumor response and quality of life, to the combination regimen.
Monoclonal antibody therapy has been used in other types of cancer to target therapy to the tumor, thereby allowing for the chemotherapeutic agent to have a lesser effect on normal, healthy tissue.

Study Objectives
The formation of metastasis is responsible for as much as 90% of cancer-associated mortality. In spite of recent advances in oncologic therapy, approximately 50 % of the lung cancer patients have already overt disseminated cancer at diagnosis. Additionally, numerous patients with locoregional disease initially treated with curative intent develop (oligo)metastases during the course of disease. In both instances, these stage IV patients are generally considered to be incurable and mostly treated palliatively.
Oligometastases, defined as 1-5 sites of active disease on whole body imaging, was coined to refer to isolated sites of metastasis resembling limited tumor metastatic capacity. The implication of this concept is that local cancer treatments are curative in a proportion of patients with metastases and that incorporating local therapy is a conceptually attractive approach. In several, but not all, academic centers the standard treatment of patients with oligometastases in good general health is standard chemotherapy followed by surgery or by Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (SABR) with radical dose on the macroscopic visible tumors.
The widespread introduction of SABR and of minimally invasive surgery has fuelled research in treating patients with oligometastases. Indeed, local control of metastases can be obtained in virtually all parts of the body with a low proportion of patients experiencing severe side effects. In the few prospective studies published to date, approximately 20% of patients remained free of recurrence several years after treatment when all sites of disease were targeted by radiation.
Along with standard anti-cancer therapeutic modalities like chemotherapy and radiotherapy (RT), immunotherapy has recently gained a lot of attention.
Angiogenesis is one of the hallmarks of cancer, and therefore, considerable efforts have been made to exploit this unique target for selective drug delivery. One of the appealing targets for both approaches is the splice variant of fibronectin containing extra domain B (EDB), which is abundantly expressed in vascular endothelial cells of a variety of primary tumors as well as metastases , but virtually absent in normal tissues. Recently, a human recombinant scFv fragment directed against EDB, designated L19, was developed and subsequently combined with the pro-inflammatory interleukin-2 (IL2), resulting in the immunocytokine L19-IL2. L19-IL2 delivers high doses of IL2 to the (metastatic) tumor site(s) exploiting the selective expression of EDB on newly formed blood vessels. Interleukin-2 (IL2) plays an essential role in the activation phases of both specific and natural immune responses. Even though it has no direct cytotoxic effects on cancer cells, it can induce tumor regression by stimulating a potent cell-mediated response. In summary, L19-IL2 is an immunocytokine which will stimulate immune response specifically in tumors with angiogenesis and tissue remodeling.
Radiotherapy is a particularly interesting partner for immunotherapy, since it can be harnessed to specifically modify the immunogenicity of the primary tumors and their microenvironment, in the attempt to generate an in situ immunization of the host against a patient's own cancer. Our hypothesis is that three independent therapeutic approaches will synergize to improve dramatically survival in patients with oligometastases of solid tumors.

Study Objectives
Colon resection is one of the major surgery, the postoperative pain is so severe that it is necessary to use additional analgesics as well as a patient controlled analgesia (PCA). The most common pain management of this surgery is the intravenous (IV) PCA. If it is relatively insufficient amount of narcotic analgesics ,in the case of IV PCA, may be failed to reduce the pain effectively. Consequently, it may result in the a lot of rescue analgesics use, which leads to the adverse effects in patients who are very sensitive to narcotic analgesics. And the patient's satisfaction to the PCA may be low.
For the recently released PCA instrument 'PAINSTOP', the investigators can specify the mode setting including total volume, flow rate (basal rate) per hour, bolus dose, and lock out time (LOT). Furthermore, this device can be set to optimize basal infusion (B.I), which is a new mode, so that the administered rate and amount of drug can be increased or decreased according to the patient's use of bolus button. Therefore, this PCA device can be implemented to the conventional mode, and added the function of automatically controlling the basal rate and administered amount of drug according to the use demand of the patient. However, since there are few studies related to this new mode of PCA, more research is needed in patients with postoperative pain.

Study Objectives
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as epirubicin, oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving chemotherapy and radiation therapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.

Study Objectives
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the anti-programmed death 1 (PD-1) agent nivolumab following selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
SIRT using yttrium90-loaded microspheres is increasingly used to treat patients with HCC, particularly those that are not good candidates for transarterial chemoembolization or TACE. SIRT induces disease control (objective tumor remission or stabilization) in most patients while progression usually results from the growth of new lesions. SIR-Spheres are resin-made microspheres used for SIRT.
On the other hand, nivolumab is under clinical development for the treatment of more advanced HCC. Available data in patients that mostly had progression to other therapies and vascular involvement or metastatic disease show significant systemic antitumor activity that results in durable objective remissions and disease stabilizations.
Therefore, in patients with HCC that has not spread beyond the liver, the systemic action of nivolumab may improve the anti-tumor effect of SIRT. Furthermore, by inducing immunogenic tumor cell death, SIRT may have a synergistic effect with nivolumab.

Study Objectives
CERTIM is a cohort created in July 2015 to set up a multidisciplinary follow-up of cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
From the CERTIM cohort, we conducted a longitudinal, prospective, observational study (ELY) in two tertiary university centers (Cochin hospital and European Georges Pompidou Hospital), which included patients between August 2016 and October 2019 and ended follow-up in April 2020.
Patients were treated with nivolumab, at a dose of 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks, or pembrolizumab, at a dose of 2mg/kg every 3 weeks. The investigators report findings from an evaluation of rest energy expenditure (REE) assessed using indirect calorimetry in the outpatient setting before treatment with checkpoints inhibitors.

Study Objectives
This study is proposed based on our work showing that the diabetes drug Pioglitazone strongly inhibits growth of tissue cultured squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin. This occurs at concentrations readily achievable by oral administration of this drug using doses currently approved for the treatment of diabetes. In our study, we propose to enroll 40 non-diabetic adult subjects (18-80 yrs of age inclusive) with a documented clinical history of frequent occurrence of skin squamous cell cancer to receive Pioglitazone (Actos®,Takeda Pharmaceuticals). Each subject will receive usual care for all new tumors they develop while on study (i.e, excision and plastic repair). The study protocol will randomize (1:1) patients for 6 months of observation followed by 6 months of treatment (group 1) or 6 months of treatment with drug followed by observation for 6 months (to examine washout effects). The biopsy specimens collected on and off therapy will be examined to determine if they express AKR1C3, an enzyme we believe increases resistance of SCC to prostaglandin inflammatory mediators. We will also examine the histologic grade of the removed tumors and study whether Pioglitazone treatment can decrease the number of aggressive versus well differentiated tumors in study patients. This pilot study is designed to detect a statistically significant change in SCC tumor numbers but is not sponsored by the drug manufacturer. The data obtained will not be used to effect a change in the product label.

Study Objectives
For advanced head and neck cancer, combined radiation and chemotherapy prevents recurrences and for many patients, improves survival. While combined cisplatin and radiation or cetuximab and radiation is more effective than radiation alone, approximately 50% of these patients will still recur. A more aggressive approach may be needed for these patients to prevent recurrence and death. The strategy of using multiple chemotherapy drugs with radiation given twice a day has been tested at Mount Sinai and University of Chicago. Approximately 80% of patients are cured with this strategy. While cure rates are higher than standard chemotherapy and radiation and the treatment is tolerable, side effects during treatment are common. We propose replacing a chemotherapy drug with a less toxic, targeted therapy called cetuximab. Our goal is to reduce toxicity while maintaining or improving cure rates for these patients.

Study Objectives
The purpose of this study is to find out whether the combination of avelumab and SBRT is safe and what effect avelumab has on mesothelioma when given in combination with SBRT. In addition, a goal of this protocol is to study the effect of radiation therapy on the immune system. It is thought that radiation treatment may create a form of 'vaccine' against cancer inside the body and immunotherapy may improve this effect. The combination of radiation treatment and immunotherapy may be more effective against cancer than either radiation or immunotherapy alone.

Study Objectives
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of ruxolitinib at different dose levels in combination with decitabine and the effectiveness of ruxolitinib in combination with decitabine in patients with accelerated or blast phase Myeloproliferative Neoplasm (MPN), which is a group of diseases of the bone marrow in which excess cells are produced. Ruxolitinib is a drug that is approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of patients with advanced forms of myelofibrosis. It inhibits the Jak proteins that are often abnormal in MPN. A recent clinical study showed that ruxolitinib treatment could put some patients with this disease into remission. Decitabine is a chemotherapy, approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA), that has been used to treat acute leukemia. It works in some patients, but most patients with accelerated and blastic MPN do not respond to treatment. Ruxolitinib and decitabine will be combined in this study to find out what dose of the two medicines are safe together. Using Ruxolitinib in combination with Decitabine is experimental. The investigators want to find out what effects, good and/or bad it has on the patient and the disease.

Study Objectives
Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. AE-941 may help shrink or slow the growth of non-small cell lung cancer cells. It is not yet known if combination chemotherapy plus radiation therapy is more effective with or without AE-941 for non-small cell lung cancer. This randomized phase III trial is studying combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy given with AE-941 to see how well they work compared to combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy alone in treating patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery
