Study of COTI-2 as Monotherapy or Combination Therapy for the Treatment of Malignancies

Activity of COTI-2 has been demonstrated in various cancer tumor models. With its p53- and AKT-based mechanisms of action, COTI-2 is anticipated to be highly relevant in treatment of patients with gynecologic malignancies or head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) as well as a variety of other tumor types.

This study is designed primarily to assess the safety and tolerability of COTI-2 monotherapy or combination therapy in patients with advanced and recurrent malignancies to establish a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for future studies.

Patients are currently being recruited for Part 3 of the study.

Critical Outcome Technologies Inc. has been renamed to Cotinga Pharmaceuticals.

AG-013736 In Combination With Gemcitabine Versus Gemcitabine Alone For Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

This is a Phase 2 study being conducted at multiple centers in the United States, Europe and Canada. Patients having pancreatic cancer that is locally advanced or that has spread to other parts of the body (i.e., metastatic) are eligible to participate. Patients must have not had any prior systemic treatment for advanced disease. The purpose of the study is to test whether the angiogenesis inhibitor Axitinib [AG-013736] in combination with gemcitabine is an effective treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer vs. gemcitabine alone by overall survival.

Adjuvant Chemoradiotherapy and Interferon Alfa in Treating Patients With Resected Pancreatic Cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Interferon alfa may interfere with the growth of tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy radiation from x-rays and other sources to kill tumor cells. Combining chemotherapy with interferon alfa and giving them with radiation therapy after surgery may kill any remaining tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of adjuvant chemoradiotherapy and interferon alfa in treating patients who have resected stage I, stage II, or stage III pancreatic cancer.

Genetic Predisposition Testing Program for Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms

This is a prospective observational multi-center pilot study of germline testing for participants receiving care at University of California participating locations with a new or existing diagnosis of Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms (PanNEN). This protocol is an extension of existing Genetic Testing Station efforts at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF)

Clinical Study of mRNA Vaccine Combined With PD-1 Inhibitor as Adjuvant Therapy for Postoperative Pancreatic Cancer

This study primarily aims to assess the safety and tolerability of XP-004 personalized mRNA vaccines encoding tumor neoantigens combined with PD-1 inhibitor as adjuvant therapy for chemotherapy-intolerant patients following radical pancreatic cancer resection.

Secondary objectives focus on evaluating preliminary efficacy through three parameters: 1) XP-004-induced antigen-specific CD4+/CD8+ T cell activation levels, 2) recurrence-free survival (RFS), and 3) overall survival (OS) in post-operative pancreatic cancer patients receiving this combination therapy.

Study of an eHealth Delivery Alternative for Cancer Genetic Testing for Hereditary Predisposition in Metastatic Cancer Patients

This study aims to determine if web-based eHealth delivery of pre-test and/or post-test counseling in cancer patients and/or those at risk for cancer can provide equal or improved cognitive and affective outcomes when compared to the standard of care delivery model.

Vaccine Therapy Plus Biological Therapy in Treating Adults With Metastatic Solid Tumors

RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a peptide may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. Combining vaccine therapy with interleukin-2 and/or sargramostim may be a more effective treatment for solid tumors.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of vaccine therapy plus interleukin-2 and/or sargramostim in treating adults who have metastatic solid tumors.

Safety and Tolerability of TNG462 in Patients With MTAP-deleted Solid Tumors

This is a first in human study in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors known to have an MTAP deletion. The first part of the study is an open-label, dose escalation and the second part is an open label dose expansion in specific MTAP-deleted tumor types. The study drug, TNG462, is a selective PRMT5 inhibitor administered orally. The study is planned to treat up to 225 participants.

Evaluation of Arterial Pressure Based Cardiac Output for Goal-Directed Perioperative Therapy

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the early identification and more precise intervention of operating room (OR) patient fluid administration optimization using arterial pressure-based cardiac output (APCO) yields comparable patient outcome as fluid administration optimization using a global standard care method.

Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Pharmacokinetics of CT041 Autologous CAR T-cell Injection

An open, multicenter, phase Ib/II study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of CT041 autologous CAR T-cell injection in patients with advanced gastric/ gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma and pancreatic cancer
