Principal Investigator

Abigail Chan, MD

Phase

II

Description

25.0073:  A Phase 1/2 Open-label, Multi-center Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Antitumor Activity of NDI-219216 as a Single Agent in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors with and without Microsatellite Instability and/or Deficient Mismatch Repair

Principal Investigator

Rebecca Redman, MD

Phase

I/II

Description

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if NDI-219216 is safe for patients, and if NDI-219216 might be a possible treatment for advanced solid tumors in the later phases of the study.

24.0860:  A022102 - Randomized Phase III Trial of Mfolfirinox +/- Nivolumab vs. Folfox +/- Nivolumab for First-Line Treatment of Metastatic HER2-Negative Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma

Principal Investigator

Anika Bhargava, MD

Phase

III

Description

This phase III trial compares the effect of modified fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan (mFOLFIRINOX) to modified fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX) for the treatment of advanced, unresectable, or metastatic HER2 negative esophageal, gastroesophageal junction, and gastric adenocarcinoma. The usual approach for patients is treatment with FOLFOX chemotherapy. Chemotherapy drugs 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. Fluorouracil stops cells from making DNA and it may kill tumor cells. Leucovorin is used with fluorouracil to enhance the effects of the drug. Oxaliplatin works by killing, stopping, or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Some patients also receive an immunotherapy drug, nivolumab, in addition to FOLFOX chemotherapy. Immunotherapy may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Irinotecan blocks certain enzymes needed for cell division and DNA repair, and it may kill tumor cells. Adding irinotecan to the FOLFOX regimen could shrink the cancer and extend the life of patients with advanced gastroesophageal cancers.

24.0766:  A Phase 1/1b Open-label, Multicenter Clinical Study of MK-0472 as Monotherapy and Combination Therapy in Participants with Advanced/Metastatic Solid Tumors.

Principal Investigator

Rebecca Redman, MD

Phase

1/1b

Description

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of MK-0472 administered as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab (MK-3475) or MK-1084 in participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced/metastatic solid tumors.

24.0202:  A Phase 3, Multicenter, Open-label, Randomized Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of MK-2870 Versus Treatment of Physician Choice in 3L+ Advanced or Metastatic Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma (Gastric Adenocarcinoma, Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma, and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma)

Principal Investigator

Abigail Chan, MD

Phase

III

Description

This study will compare how safe and effective sacituzumab tirumotecan is versus the treatment of physician's choice (TPC) in participants with advanced/metastatic gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. The primary hypothesis of this study is sacituzumab tirumotecan is superior to TPC with respect to Overall Survival (OS).

23.0823:  Colon Adjuvant Chemotherapy Based on Evaluation of Residual Disease (CIRCULATE-US) 

Principal Investigator

Abigail Chan, MD 

Phase

III 

Description

This Phase II/III trial will evaluate the what kind of chemotherapy to recommend to patients based on the presence or absences of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) after surgery for colon cancer.

22.0393: A Phase 1b/2 Placebo Controlled, Double Blinded Study on the Efficacy and Safety of BXQ-350 in Combination with mFOLFOX7 and Bevacizumab in Newly Diagnosed Metastatic Colorectal Carcinoma

Principal Investigator

Vivek Sharma, MD, FACP

Phase

I

Description

The study will assess the safety and efficacy of BXQ-350 plus modified FOLFOX7 (mFOLFOX7) and bevacizumab in participants who have newly diagnosed metastatic adenocarcinoma of the colon/rectum. The study will also evaluate if the administration of BXQ-350 with mFOLFOX7 and bevacizumab may diminish oxaliplatin induced sensory neurotoxicity, enabling participants to receive the total and planned doses of mFOLFOX7.All participants will receive BXQ-350 by intravenous (IV) infusion along with standard of care doses of mFOLFOX and bevacizumab. The study is divided into two stages: Stage 1 will be open label and will enroll participants at increasing dose levels of BXQ-350 in order to determine the Stage 2 dose. Stage 2 will be blinded; participants will receive BXQ-350 at the established Stage 1 dose or placebo.

20.0927:  Phase III Trial of Perioperative Versus Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Resectable Pancreatic Cancer

Principal Investigator

Adam Rojan, MD

Phase

III

Description

This phase III trial compares perioperative chemotherapy (given before and after surgery) versus adjuvant chemotherapy (given after surgery) for the treatment of pancreatic cancer that can be removed by surgery (removable/resectable). Chemotherapy drugs, such as fluorouracil, irinotecan, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin, 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 chemotherapy before and after surgery (perioperatively) may work better in treating patients with pancreatic cancer compared to giving chemotherapy after surgery (adjuvantly).
