Azacitidine, Venetoclax and NK Cells in Newly Daignosed Older/Unfit AML

Azacitidine, Venetoclax and NK Cells in Newly Daignosed Older/Unfit AML Summary:  Older patients with adverse-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have dismal outcomes with a 3-year survival of roughly 20%. Twenty to 50% of newly diagnosed older patients with AML do not respond to current standard frontline therapy, with high rates of refractory disease in adverse-risk patients. Stem cell transplantation (SCT) […]

AML23: A Phase 2 study of venetoclax in children with newly diagnosed AML

AML23: A Phase 2 study of venetoclax in children with newly diagnosed AML Summary:  Although the survival rates for children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have reached 70%, little improvement has been made in the past 20 years. Approximately 25% of patients relapse and only about 40% of these patients are subsequently cured. It is highly unlikely that improvements can be made […]

Psilocybin-Assisted Psychotherapy in Patients with Advanced Cancer on Maintenance Therapy Experiencing Depression and/or Anxiety

Clinical TrialPsilocybin-Assisted Psychotherapy in Patients with Advanced Cancer on Maintenance Therapy Experiencing Depression and/or Anxiety Summary:  Advances in systemic treatments like immunotherapy and targeted therapies have changed the way we think about cancer. A cancer diagnosis is no longer just a question of cure or death; there is a third possibility of living with cancer […]

Personalized Neoantigen Vaccine and Durvalumab in ES-SCLC

Personalized Neoantigen Vaccine and Durvalumab in ES-SCLC Summary:  Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive type of lung cancer that accounts for up to 15% of all new diagnoses of lung cancers. Each year, over 30,000 new patients will be diagnosed with SCLC in the United States. Treatment for patients with extensive stage SCLC, […]

Pan-cancer telemedicine registry of immunotherapy responses in patients with structural variations in PD-1 ligands

Pan-cancer telemedicine registry of immunotherapy responses in patients with structural variations in PD-1 ligands Summary:  Cancer cells evolve and develop protective mechanisms to hide themselves from cancer killing T-cells. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), block these protective mechanisms by targeting PD-1/PD-L1, unhiding cancer cells so that they can be killed by T-cells. Immune checkpoint inhibitors have […]

Acupuncture for Preventing Progression of Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (ACP)

Acupuncture for Preventing Progression of Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (ACP) Summary:  Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is one of the most common and severe toxicities caused by certain chemotherapies affecting 30-40% of breast cancer patients. CIPN symptoms include pain, tingling, and numbness which can increase the risk of falls and decrease quality of life. As a result of CIPN, […]

The STOP-HER2 Study

The STOP-HER2 Study Summary:  HER2 positive (HER2+) breast cancers account for 20-25% of breast cancers and are associated with higher rates of recurrence and brain metastases. However, in the past two decades, HER2 targeting therapies have drastically improved patient outcomes and most patients treated with stage I-III HER2+ breast cancer are cured. For patients with […]
