Short Title: SAMURAI

This phase II trial tests whether the addition of radiation to the primary tumor, typically given with stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR), in combination with standard of care immunotherapy improves outcomes in patients with renal cell cancer that is not recommended for surgery and has spread to other places in the body (metastatic).

Short Title: IOV-MEL-301

We are the first site to open this study in the world!  This study is a Phase III study of lifileucel plus pembrolizumab compared with pembrolizumab alone in participants with untreated, unresectable or metastatic melanoma. The combination has the potential for enhanced antitumor activity through the combination of programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) blockade allowing for optimal engraftment, increased cytotoxicity, and intratumoral expansion of the infused lifileucel product. Continued pembrolizumab therapy after lifileucel infusion is expected to perpetuate the antitumor effect.

Short Title: DRAMMATIC/S1803

This clinical trial offers treatment to patients with multiple myeloma who have undergone ASCT, a type of transplant that uses a patient's own stem cells (cells in the bone marrow that produce new blood cells) to replace those normal cells that are damaged by the high dose chemotherapy treatment that is given to kill cancer cells. Because there is a possibility of cancer returning even after ASCT, patients typically receive maintenance treatment, with the goal of preventing or delaying the return of cancer. In this clinical trial, one group of patients will be randomly assigned to receiving the standard maintenance treatment for multiple myeloma — an immunomodulatory drug called lenalidomide - which works by stimulating cells in the immune system, decreasing the blood supply to tumors, and inhibiting the growth of cancer cells.

Please note that this study is approaching the protocol specific accrual goal for Registration Step 1 and will permanently close on January 15th at 12:00 PM PST.

Short Title: Guidance/GU010

This phase III trial uses the Decipher risk score to guide intensification (for higher Decipher gene risk) or de-intensification (for low Decipher gene risk) of treatment to better match therapies to an individual patient's cancer aggressiveness. The Decipher risk score evaluates a prostate cancer tumor for its potential for spreading. In patients with low risk scores, this trial compares radiation therapy alone to the usual treatment of radiation therapy and hormone therapy (androgen deprivation therapy).

The purpose of this registry is to collect data on patients at high risk for breast cancer or who have been diagnosed with breast cancer at MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper. The importance of the registry is to create a single institution database of individuals (men or women) at increased risk for developing breast cancer or individuals who have had a prior history of breast cancer. The data provided by a site-specific cancer registry can play a significant role in future planning of cancer control programs, in screening and early detection, and in contributing to improved breast cancer care.
