KaCrole Higgins was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020. “In May 2020, I found a lump in my breast. I cried. By June, it was diagnosed as breast cancer, triple positive, stage 1A. While getting this cancer diagnosis was devastating, it also became an opportunity. Suddenly, the cancer gave me clarity. It gave me clarity about what was important, what was good in my life, what was toxic in my life, and what I needed to do.” Click below to read more of KaCrole’s story

Endoscopic Gastroenterostomy Versus Surgical Gastrojejunostomy

Gastrointestinal

Recent comparative data suggest that EUS gastroenterostomy offers more durable patency than enteral stents for treatment of malignant GOO, leading some endoscopists to suggest that EUS gastroenterostomy should be the preferred endoscopic treatment approach.

EUS gastroenterostomy and surgical gastrojejunostomy have been compared in retrospective cohort analysis, suggesting a high technical success rate a shorter hospital length of stay for the endoscopic approach \[4\]. Comparison of these techniques has not been reported in controlled prospective fashion. A prospective trial is necessary in order to define the optimal interventional management option for treatment of malignant GOO in the context of the contemporary and rapidly evolved range of available endoscopic and surgical treatment options.

A Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Activity of Fruquintinib in Minority Populations With Advanced, Previously Treated Colorectal Cancer

Multiple Cancer Types

High blood pressure (hypertension) is a known side effect of the treatment with fruquintinib. Current research does not provide a clear answer whether minority groups such as Black/African American and/or Hispanic/Latino with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) have a bigger risk of higher blood pressure after treatment with fruquintinib. The main aim of this study is to learn how often adults of a minority group experience hypertension after they have been treated with fruquintinib for refractory mCRC. Other aims are to learn how safe fruquintinib is and how well it is tolerated by participants.

Participants will receive fruquintinib in 4-week treatment cycles until their condition worsens, they do no longer tolerate the treatment or stop the treatment for other reasons. After the last treatment, participants will be checked upon every 3 months until study completion.

A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Mesothelin-Targeting Logic-gated CAR T, in Participants With Solid Tumors That Express MSLN and Have Lost HLA-A*02 Expression

Miscellaneous

The goal of this study is to test autologous logic-gated Tmod CAR T-cell products in subjects with solid tumors including colorectal cancer (CRC), pancreatic cancer (PANC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), ovarian cancer (OVCA), mesothelioma (MESO), and other solid tumors that express mesothelin (MSLN) and have lost HLA-A\*02 expression.

The main questions this study aims to answer are:

Phase 1: What is the recommended dose that is safe for patients

Phase 2: Does the recommended dose kill solid tumor cells and protect the patient's healthy cells

Participants will be required to perform study procedures and assessments, and will also receive the following study treatments:

Enrollment and Apheresis in BASECAMP-1 (NCT04981119)

Preconditioning Lymphodepletion (PCLD) Regimen

Testing Shorter Duration Radiation Therapy Versus the Usual Radiation Therapy in Patients Receiving the Usual Chemotherapy Treatment for Bladder Cancer, ARCHER Study

Bladder

This phase III trial compares the effect of decreased number of radiation (ultra-hypofractionated) treatments to the usual radiation number of treatments (hypofractionation) with standard of care chemotherapy, with cisplatin, gemcitabine or mitomycin and 5-fluorouracil for the treatment of patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a short period of time. Ultra-hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers radiation over an even shorter period of time than hypofractionated radiation therapy. Cisplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Gemcitabine is a chemotherapy drug that blocks the cells from making DNA and may kill tumor cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as mitomycin-C and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), 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. Giving ultra-hypofractionated radiation may be equally effective as hypofractionated therapy for patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer.

FORAGER-1: A Study of LOXO-435 (LY3866288) in Participants With Cancer With a Change in a Gene Called FGFR3

Miscellaneous

The main purpose of this study is to learn more about the safety, side effects, and effectiveness of LOXO-435 by itself or when it is combined with other standard medicines that treat cancer. LOXO-435 may be used to treat cancer of the cells that line the urinary system and other solid tumor cancers that have a change in a particular gene (known as the FGFR3 gene). Participation could last up to 30 months (2.5 years) and possibly longer if the disease does not get worse.

This study consists of 2 portions. The phase 2 portion is an open-label, single-arm study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NAI, PD-L1 t-haNK, and bevacizumab combination therapy in participants with recurrent or progressive GBM. The phase 2B portion is an open-label, randomized study to evaluate the efficacy and safety for the following 2 experimental arms in participants with recurrent or progressive GBM: NAI, bevacizumab, and TTFields combination therapy (Arm A) or NAI, PD-L1 t-haNK, bevacizumab, and TTFields combination therapy (Arm B).

Phase 2 Treatment for all enrolled participants will consist of repeated cycles of 28 days for a maximum treatment period of 76 weeks (19 cycles) as follows: Every 2 weeks (Days 1 and 15 of a 28-day cycle)

Fourteen (14) participants were enrolled in the phase 2 portion of this study as of the date of this v02 protocol. No additional participants will be administered therapy in phase 2.

Phase 2B Participants will be randomized 1:1 to 1 of 2 experimental arms (Arm A or Arm B). Treatment for all enrolled participants will consist of repeated 8-week cycles for a maximum treatment period of up to 80 weeks (10 cycles). Experimental Arm (A): Every 2 weeks (Days 1, 15, 29, and 43 of an 8-week cycle)

Up to twenty (20) participants will be randomized in phase 2B (up to 10 participants/arm.

Duration of Treatment:

Participants will receive study treatment for up to 76 weeks during phase 2 (up to 19 repeated 28-day cycles) and for up to 80 weeks (up to 10 repeated 8-week cycles) during phase 2B or until they report unacceptable toxicity (not corrected with dose reduction), withdraw consent, or if the Investigator feels it is no longer in the participant's best interest to continue treatment. Treatment may also be discontinued if the participant has confirmed PD per iRANO, unless the participant is clinically stable and is considered potentially deriving benefit per Investigator's assessment.

Duration of Follow-up:

Participants who discontinue study treatment should remain in the study for follow-up. Participants should be followed for collection of survival status, posttreatment therapies (phase 2 and phase 2B), and medical history (phase 2B only) every 12 weeks ( 2 weeks) for the first 2 years then yearly thereafter for an additional 3 years. The maximum duration of follow-up is 5 years (260 weeks).
