Houma, Louisiana Clinical Trials

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess whether adjuvant therapy with erlotinib (erlotinib hydrochloride) will result in improved overall survival (OS) over observation for patients with completely resected stage IB (>= 4 cm)-IIIA epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (confirmed centrally) following complete resection and standard post-operative ...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate whether adjuvant therapy with crizotinib will result in improved overall survival (OS) for patients with stage IB >= 4 cm, II and IIIA, ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following surgical resection. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate and compare disease-free survival (DFS) associated with crizotinib. ...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: Screening component: I. To establish a National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN) mechanism for genomically screening large but homogeneous cancer populations and subsequently assigning and accruing simultaneously to a multi-sub-study ?Master Protocol.? II. To evaluate the screen success rate defined as the percentage of screened patients that register for ...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To centrally test resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) for genetic mutations to facilitate accrual to randomized adjuvant studies. II. To obtain clinically annotated tumor tissue and patient-matched non-malignant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from peripheral blood, as well as detailed epidemiologic and clinical follow-up data, to allow clinically ...

The COXEN program will not select a patient's therapy, but the type of chemotherapy that he/she will receive will be randomly decided. The patient's response to chemotherapy will be used to test the usefulness of the COXEN program, which is the main goal of this trial. Other potential tests to ...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To estimate the incidence of treatment-related major financial hardship over 12 months, among patients with newly diagnosed metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) treated at components and subcomponents of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To describe the association of major financial ...

This randomized controlled trial of weight loss interventions in overweight and obese women with early stage breast cancer consists of two arms, please see the arms section for more information. Patients will be randomized 1:1 within stratification factors: menopausal status (premenopausal vs. postmenopausal), hormone receptor status of the tumor (ER ...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare overall survival (OS) in patients with advanced stage refractory squamous cell carcinoma (SCCA) of the lung randomized to nivolumab plus ipilimumab versus nivolumab. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare investigator-assessed progression-free survival (IA-PFS) in patients with advanced stage refractory SCCA of the lung randomized to nivolumab ...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To demonstrate an absolute improvement in neoadjuvant rectal cancer (NAR) score for the experimental regimen as compared to concurrently randomized control patients. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare overall survival (OS). II. To compare disease-free survival (DFS). III. To compare the rate of pathologic complete response (pCR) (nodes ...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare invasive disease-free survival (IDFS) of patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who have either >= 1 cm residual invasive breast cancer and/or positive lymph nodes (> ypN+) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy randomized to receive 1 year of MK-3475 (pembrolizumab) adjuvant therapy compared to no MK-3475 (pembrolizumab), ...
