This phase II trial studies the effect of P140K MGMT hematopoietic stem cells, O6-benzylguanine, temozolomide, and carmustine in treating participants with supratentorial glioblastoma or gliosarcoma who have recently had surgery to remove most or all of the brain tumor (resected). Chemotherapy drugs, such as 6-benzylguanine, temozolomide, and carmustine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing. Placing P140K MGMT, a gene that has been created in the laboratory into bone marrow making the bone more resistant to chemotherapy, allowing intra-patient dose escalation which kills more tumor cells while allowing bone marrow to survive.

This trial is testing how different amounts of a specific type of stem cell affect the outcomes of patients who receive their own stem cells back after treatment. It targets patients undergoing stem cell transplants. The treatment involves collecting, freezing, and re-infusing different amounts of these stem cells to see which dose works best. This method has been used in various clinical trials for treating multiple diseases, including multiple sclerosis and multiple myeloma.

A serious consequence of systemic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is secondary central nervous system (CNS) relapse, which occurs in approximately 5% of all patients. Many CNS relapses occur within the first year after completion of frontline treatment and are associated with significantly increased mortality; thus, it is important to tailor frontline treatment to provide prophylaxis against CNS relapse in those patients who are determined to be high-risk. Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is standard of care for patients with DLBCL who relapse one year or more after first remission, and it has been shown to improve progression-free survival for patients with primary CNS lymphoma. The four-drug BEAM regimen (carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan) is the preferred conditioning regimen for DLBCL patients undergoing ASCT; however, patients with primary CNS lymphoma receive thiotepa plus carmustine as their conditioning regimen due to its better CNS penetration. This study tests the hypothesis that consolidation thiotepa/carmustine ASCT in first complete remission will reduce the risk of CNS relapse in transplant-eligible patients with DLBCL with no prior CNS disease at high risk of secondary CNS recurrence.

Chemoembolization for Liver Cancer

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
This trial studies a treatment that injects chemotherapy and blocking agents into the liver's blood vessels to target tumors in patients with eye cancer that has spread to the liver. The goal is to cut off the tumor's blood supply and apply chemotherapy directly, helping to shrink or eliminate the tumors. This method delivers highly concentrated drugs to the tumor and stops blood flow to it.

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of gene therapy in treating patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related lymphoma that did not respond to therapy or came back after an original response receiving stem cell transplant. In gene therapy, small stretches of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) called "anti-HIV genes" are introduced into the stem cells in the laboratory to make the gene therapy product used in this study. The type of anti-HIV genes and therapy in this study may make the patient's immune cells more resistant to HIV-1 and prevent new immune cells from getting infected with HIV-1.

This trial tests a combination of strong chemotherapy and an immune-suppressing medicine followed by a stem cell transplant. It targets patients with autoimmune neurological diseases that haven't improved with other treatments. The treatment aims to weaken the immune system to stop it from attacking the nervous system and then helps the body recover by making new blood cells. High-dose chemotherapy followed by a stem cell transplant has been shown to improve various autoimmune diseases.

This phase II trials studies the effects of yttrium-90 labeled anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody combined with BEAM chemotherapy conditioning in treating patients with Hodgkin lymphoma that does not response to treatment (refractory) or has come back (relapsed). Yttrium-90-labeled anti-CD25 is an antibody (proteins made by the immune system to fight infections) that is attached to a radioactive substance and may kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Chemotherapy drugs, such as carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan, 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 a peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow.

RATIONALE: Giving high-dose chemotherapy drugs, such as carmustine, etoposide, and cyclophosphamide, before a peripheral blood stem cell transplant stops the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. After treatment, stem cells that were collected from the patient's blood are returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects of giving high-dose carmustine, etoposide, and cyclophosphamide together with a stem cell transplant and to see how well it works in treating patients with HIV-associated lymphoma.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a medical study ?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest clinical trials ?
Most recently, we added Thiotepa + Stem Cell Transplant for Lymphoma, Stem Cell Rescue Therapy for Glioblastoma and Radioimmunotherapy + BEAM Chemotherapy for Hodgkin's Lymphoma to the Power online platform.
