Clinical Trials

The purpose of this study is to obtain clinical specimens, supporting clinical information, and laboratory testing results from patients from the upper Midwestern United States with early (acute) LD or with evidence of Lyme arthritis (LA). The specimens and well-characterized patient data will become part of a national repository of serum samples maintained by the CDC National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, Division of Vector-Borne Disease. The samples will be available for external requestors for use in developing and evaluating improved serologic tests for LD.

The Heartland Study is a prospective, observational study that will enroll up to 2,600 pregnant participants across the Heartland States in the U.S. The objective of the Heartland Study is to address major knowledge gaps concerning the health effects of herbicides on maternal and infant health. The study is being conducted to evaluate the associations between environmental exposures to herbicides during and after pregnancy and reproductive health outcomes. The study is measuring multiple biomarkers of herbicide exposure among pregnant Midwesterners and their partners to evaluate associations with pregnancy and childbirth outcomes, epigenetic biomarkers of exposure, and child development.

This phase III trial compares the effect of vincristine, dactinomycin, and cyclophosphamide to vincristine and dactinomycin in treating patients with very low risk or low risk fusion negative rhabdomyosarcoma and examines the use of molecular risk stratification in the treatment of rhabdomyosarcoma. Patients with certain tumor mutations will be treated with longer therapy. Giving standard chemotherapy drugs for a longer time may work better in treating patients with rhabdomyosarcoma with mutations. Chemotherapy drugs, such as vincristine, dactinomycin, and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Rhabdomyosarcoma is a type of cancer that occurs in the soft tissues of the body.

This phase III trial compares the effect of geriatric evaluation and management with survivorship health education (GEMS) to usual care on patient-reported physical function in older survivors of cancer. Survivorship care for older adults of cancer usually consists of getting advice from their doctor. This advice may include how to do their daily activities, so they are less tired or how to manage multiple diseases, or long-term side effects from treatment. GEMS may help improve the physical ability to perform activities of daily living, mental well-being, and memory in older survivors of cancer after chemotherapy. This study may help doctors learn if including GEMS in their practices improves physical, mental and memory functions in their patients. The study may also help to understand how such care affects cancer patients and their caregivers' quality of life.

multi-site trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of the combination of 5-FU, oxaliplatin and nal-IRI (plus trastuzumab for HER2-positive tumors) as first-line therapy for patients with advanced EGA. Subjects will be enrolled into one of the two cohorts based on the HER2 status of the tumor. Subjects in Cohort 1 (HER2-negative) will be treated with 5-FU, oxaliplatin and nal-IRI. Subjects in Cohort 2 (HER2-positive) will be treated with trastuzumab in addition to 5-FU, oxaliplatin and nal-IRI.

This phase II trial studies how well radiation therapy with or without cisplatin works in treating patients with stage III-IV squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck who have undergone surgery. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known if radiation therapy is more effective with or without cisplatin in treating patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

This phase II trial investigates how well biomarkers on PET/CT imaging drive early discontinuation of anti-PD-1 therapy in patients with stage IIIB-IV melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Anti-PD-1 therapy has become a standard therapy option for patients with unresectable melanoma. This trial is being done to determine if doctors can safely shorten the use of standard of care anti-PD1 therapy for melanoma by using biomarkers seen on PET/CT imaging and tumor biopsy.

This phase II trial studies how well cabozantinib works in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab in treating patients with rare genitourinary (GU) tumors that have spread to other places in the body. Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving cabozantinib, nivolumab, and ipilimumab may work better in treating patients with genitourinary tumors that have no treatment options compared to giving cabozantinib, nivolumab, or ipilimumab alone.

To determine whether an Internet-based pain coping skills program plus enhanced usual care, compared to enhanced usual care alone, yields significant improvements in the co-primary outcomes of pain severity (as measured by the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI)) and pain interference (also measured by the BPI) from baseline to the post-intervention assessment for cancer survivors with persistent pain.
