Establishment Of A National Biorepository To Advance Studies Of Immune-Related Adverse Events

This study is being done to answer the following questions: Why do some patients experience serious side effects from immunotherapies, and why do other patients not experience these side effects? How can we identify these patients and prevent, reduce and treat these side effects more effectively? To answer these questions, it is helpful to have clinical data and samples collected from patients who have experienced these side effects from immunotherapy. For example, by studying blood samples collected before and after side effects occur, researchers can look for markers that may predict ...

Randomized Phase II/III Trial of Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation with or without Hippocampal Avoidance for Small Cell Lung Cancer

The purpose of this study is to compare any good and bad effects of avoiding the hippocampus during whole-brain radiation to the usual whole-brain radiation. The hippocampus is part of the brain that is important for memory. Avoiding the hippocampus during whole-brain radiation could decrease the chance of side effects on memory and thinking. It also is possible that avoiding the hippocampus could have no benefit or could cause other side effects. Hippocampal avoidance also could lessen the effectiveness of whole-brain radiation. This study will allow the researchers to know whether this different approach is better, the same, or worse than the usual approach. To be better, the addition of the hippocampal avoidance technique to whole-brain radiation therapy should decrease the chance of side effects on memory or thinking by at least 14.5%.

A Phase 1/2 Study of Combination Immunotherapy and mRNA Vaccine in Subjects with Nonsmall Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Researchers have found that sometimes the body’s own immune system may slow down or control cancer growth. Sometimes this natural immune system response stops, and the cancer is not killed by the immune system. Research has shown that, in some patients, cancer cells and immune cells start to express signals that stop the body’s immune system from killing the cancer. New drugs being developed are designed to block these signals and to increase the immune response. Durvalumab and tremelimumab are two of these drugs. Both drugs are antibodies (proteins that are produced by the body’s defense system). Durvalumab given by itself or with tremelimumab may boost the ability of your immune system to detect and fight cancer. Each of these drugs targets a different signal. Durvalumab targets a signal on cancer cells called Programmed Cell Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1) and tremelimumab targets a signal on immune cells called Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte-associated Antigen 4 (CTLA-4). It is hoped that by blocking these signals, the immune cells will once again be able to prevent or slow down cancer growth.

The vaccine, BI 1361849, also works by stimulating the body’s immune system to fight and destroy cancer cells. There are six different ingredients in the vaccine that each produce a different antibody response to tumor cells. The vaccine is given through an injection into your skin.
