DM-CHOC-PEN Plus Radiation for Brain Tumors

4-Demethyl-4-cholesteryloxycarbonylpenclomedine (DM-CHOC-PEN) is a polychlorinated pyridyl cholesterol carbonate that is lipophilic, electrically neural, crosses the blood brain barrier (BBB), ability to localize in intracranial tumor tissue, lacks neurotoxicity and not transported out of the brain via Pgp (p-glycoprotein) (1). DM-CHOC-PEN has completed Phase I/II trials in humans with primary and secondary tumors involving the brain with success. Complete remissions in both primary astrocytoma and metastatic lung and leukemia malignancies. This trial is open for adult subjects with advanced cancer - brain involvement is required.

Decision Aid to Support Advanced Cancer Patients

To support advanced cancer patients, for whom standard therapy is no longer available, and their oncologists in therapy decisions, the investigators aim to develop a decision-making aid (DA) in a multi-phased bicentric study. The DA aims to help patients to understand better risks and benefits of available treatment options including the options of standard palliative care, off-label drug use within an individual treatment plan and involvement in early clinical trials.

TSR-042 as Maintenance Therapy for Patients With High-risk Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer After Chemo-radiation (ATOMICC)

Patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) despite definitive chemo-radiotherapy, has a poor progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). The hypothesis is that the use of TSR-042, checkpoint inhibitor, as consolidation therapy following concurrent chemo-radiation would increase PFS in these patients. The incorporation of immunotherapy after chemo-radiation is one the best scenarios for this approach, since takes advantages of "the ideal microenvironment" created after radiation. In a similar rationale, the phase 3 study that compared the anti-programmed death ligand 1 antibody durvalumab as consolidation therapy with placebo in patients with stage III NSCLC who did not have disease progression after two or more cycles of platinum-based chemoradiotherapy, showed that progression-free survival was significantly longer with durvalumab than with placebo in all sub-groups regardless of response obtained to chemotherapy, namely patients with stable disease (SD) gained the same benefit that patients with partial response (PR). Due to the aforementioned biology of cervical cancer, the proven activity of anti programmed cell death protein 1 (Anti-PD1) agents in metastatic and/or recurrent cervical cancer and the poor PFS and OS in patients with LACC despite definitive chemo-radiotherapy, we consider to analyze the Anti-PD1 agent, TSR-042 as maintenance therapy after concurrent chemo-radiation (CCRT)

Collaborative Care Intervention for Cancer Caregivers

The proposed randomized controlled trial will test the efficacy of a stepped collaborative care intervention, versus enhanced usual care arm, to reduce depression of cancer caregivers. Biobehavioral factors will include assessment of changes in health behaviors and biomarkers of inflammation. The investigators will also include measures metabolic abnormalities and clinical markers of CVD. The investigators expect few cardiac events during the study period. The investigators will also measure other health outcomes but CVD risk factors will be the focus of the study.

Study of GNX102 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

GNX-001 is an open-label, phase 1, multicenter, dose-escalation and expansion study of GNX102 infused every 21 days. Approximately 30 patients may be enrolled in the dose escalation portion of this study. Once the MTD or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) has been identified, up to 15 additional patients may be enrolled in one or two expansion cohort(s) at one or two dose levels recommended by the Safety Review Committee) to confirm the safety profile of the RP2D and provide additional information on anti-tumor activity. Patients with adeno- or epithelial-cancers that have a likelihood of GNX102 targeted antigen expression based on previous studies, including colorectal, hepatocellular, non-small cell lung, gastric, breast, pancreatic, cutaneous, acral, or mucosal melanoma, esophageal, prostate, and epithelial uterine cancers, can be screened for enrollment in the study.

Prediction of Drug Response Using an Ex Vivo Organ Culture (EVOC) on Fresh Human Tumour Samples From Metastatic Patients

The primary objective of this study is to determine how sensitive and specific the Curesponse Ex Vivo Organ Culture (EVOC) model is at predicting a patient's clinical response to a specific cancer therapy. 248 patients from participating UK hospitals will have a biopsy for the development of an Ex-vivo organ culture at the Curesponse Laboratory. Patients will have standard of care anticancer therapy after the biopsy and be followed up for 6 months following their biopsy. The combined results of the study will show whether the EVOC has potential to be useful for future patients prospectively in determining whether a certain clinical treatment is likely to benefit them.

A Study of Anti-Lewis Y Chimeric Antigen Receptor-T Cells (LeY-CAR-T) in Patients With Solid Tumours

This clinical trial is an open-label, single-centre, phase I study designed to investigate the safety and tolerability of a single infusion of autologous peripheral blood T-lymphocytes transduced with the anti-LeY-scFv-CD28-? vector (LeY CAR T-cells) The primary aim of the trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of LeY CAR T cells in patients with Lewis Y antigen-expressing, advanced solid tumours. The secondary aim of the trial is to assess the anti-tumour activity of LeY CAR T cells in patients with LeY antigen-expressing, advanced solid tumours. Patients aged 18 years or older with advanced solid tumours have consented to pre-screening that allows their tumours to be assessed for LeY expression by immunohistochemistry. Patients whose tumours test positive for LeY were then able to proceed to eligibility screening and, if found to fulfil the eligibility criteria, were registered in the study. The study involves an initial dose escalation phase followed by an expansion phase.

Body Composition Manipulation in CoLorectal cancEr (BiCyCLE): Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES)

Muscle is lost as part of the rectal cancer disease process. Surgery to treat rectal cancer and its subsequent immobility leads to increased muscle loss. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has been shown in previous studies in the critically ill to maintain muscle mass. The investigators aim to examine whether NMES use in the pre and postoperative setting preserves muscle mass, speeds up recovery and improves outcomes in advanced rectal cancer patients undergoing curative surgery. This is a phase II double blind randomised controlled clinical trial.

Exercise Prescription in Patients With Bone Metastases

Cancer which has spread to the bone, causing bone metastases (bone tumours) can weaken bone health and increase risk of fractures (breaks). Consequently, patients can be unsure whether to exercise and health professionals can be unsure what exercise advice is suitable. Despite this, it is well known that exercise improves quality-of-life for patients with bone metastases and therefore it is important that exercise is prescribed to these patients. This study aims to increase understanding of the link between daily exercise and risk of fracture in patients with bone metastases.

Psychosocial Intervention in Latino Patients With Advanced Cancer

Palliative Care focuses on symptom management and quality of life and helps patients with life-limiting illness match goals and preferences for care. While there has been interest in and acknowledgement that palliative care is an important part of training patient navigators, there have been no previous studies examining the effectiveness of a navigation intervention to improve palliative care for patients. This study will examine the feasibility to implement patient navigator and psychosocial interventions.
