Study Summary

This trial will test a new cancer treatment involving two drugs and immunotherapy. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective for treating certain types of advanced and recurrent solid tumors.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with certain advanced cancers (ovarian, liver, lung, bladder or those with high microsatellite instability) who've finished first-line therapy. They must have a life expectancy of at least 6 months and be relatively mobile (ECOG 0-1). People can't join if they're on steroids/immunosuppressants, had recent radiotherapy or certain cancer mutations, serious infections/transplants, other malignancies or conditions that could interfere with the treatment.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests DPX-Survivac combined with low dose Cyclophosphamide and Pembrolizumab to see how safe and effective it is against selected advanced solid tumors. Participants will receive this combination therapy to evaluate its impact on their cancer's progression.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune-related reactions such as inflammation in organs; infusion reactions; fatigue; blood disorders; increased risk of infection; allergic responses to pembrolizumab; digestive issues possibly affecting absorption of oral medications.

How widespread is the reach of this clinical investigation?

"This trial has 18 sites recruiting patients, including the Boca Raton Regional Hospital, Lynn Cancer Institute in Boca Raton, CHUM hospital in Montreal and Comprehensive Hematology and Oncology from Saint Petersburg. Additionally, there are 14 other locations across North America."

Answered by AI

What is the intake capacity for patients in this experiment?

"Sadly, this clinical trial is no longer accepting new patients. It was initially posted on December 21st 2018 and last updated March 28th 2022. However, 1464 studies that involve carcinoma hepatocellular are still recruiting participants as well as 1746 DPX-Survivac trials currently seeking individuals for their research."

Answered by AI

Are there opportunities for volunteers to join the current research experiment?

"Unfortunately, this medical study is not currently enrolling participants. The trial first appeared on December 21st 2018 and was last updated on March 28th 2022. If you are searching for other trials, 1464 clinical studies using carcinoma hepatocellular treatments are actively recruiting patients while 1746 DPX-Survivac trials have open spots available."

Answered by AI

What maladies does DPX-Survivac typically target?

"DPX-Survivac is generally employed for malignant melanoma of skin treatment, yet it also has been shown to be efficacious in the management of recurrent cervical cancer, leukemia, refractory and relapsed mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma."

Answered by AI

Has DPX-Survivac been officially endorsed by the FDA?

"Our team's assessment of DPX-Survivac safety is a 2, as it has completed Phase 2 clinical trials and there are some data points suggesting its security but none supporting effectiveness."

Answered by AI

What other experiments have been conducted regarding the effectiveness of DPX-Survivac?

"In 1997, the City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center launched its first trial on DPX-Survivac. Since then, 1329 studies have been wrapped up with 1746 trials active at present - many of which are conducted in Boca Raton, FL."
