Penn Medicine is conducting medical studies to develop new diagnostic and clinical treatments to improve current standards of care.
Recently Added/Updated trials
IMAGING OF PRIMARY OR RECURRENT GYNECOLOGICAL CANCER WITH [18F]FLUORTHANATRACE ([18F]FTT) PET/CT
The purpose of this study is to study a new radioactive tracer, a type of imaging drug that is labeled with a radioactive tag and injected into the body to see how it is taken up in the body and the brain using an imaging procedure called Positron Emission Tomography (PET/CT). Imaging PARP-1 activity in various cancers may help researchers to better understand it’s function and determine the best way to use imaging to help study new treatments that target the PARP-1 enzyme.
RevitaT2Di Pivotal Study (REVITALIZE 1)
The Revitalize-1 Study will look at a potential procedure called duodenal mucosal resurfacing (DMR). The DMR procedure acts on the first layer (mucosa) of the duodenum (the part of the small intestine located immediately after the stomach). By removing an excess layer, the treatment may improve blood sugar control. This treatment may eliminate or reduce the need for insulin injections in the future for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes.
HLA-Mismatched Unrelated Donor Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation With Post-Transplantation Cyclophosphamide
This is a prospective, multi-center, Phase II study of hematopoietic cell transplantation
(HCT) using human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-mismatched unrelated donors (MMUD) for
peripheral blood stem cell transplant in adults and bone marrow stem cell transplant in
children. Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy), tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil
(MMF) will be used for for graft versus host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. This trial will
study how well this treatment works in patients with hematologic malignancies.
A Phase 1/2a, Open-Label, Safety, Pharmacokinetic, and Preliminary Efficacy Study of Oral ATRN-119 in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors
The study will evaluate the safety profile of escalating doses of continuous daily oral ATRN-119 and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended dose.
ATRN-119 is a drug that has been developed to treat cancers by taking advantage of genetic mutations found only in the tumor and not in normal tissue.
Study of SynKIR-110 Autologous T cells Transduced with Mesothelin KIR-CAR in Subjects with Mesothelin-Expressing Advanced Ovarian Cancer Cholangiocarcinoma or Mesothelioma
This study involves research of an investigational therapy called SynKIR-110. SynKIR-110 is CAR T cell therapy. CAR T cell therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient’s T cells (white blood cells that are a part of the immune system) are changed in a laboratory so they can attack cancer cells. The purpose of this research study is to identify a safe dose of SynKIR-110 in patients with advanced Ovarian cancer, Cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) or Mesothelioma (a tumor of the tissue that lines the lungs, stomach, heart, and other organs).
CureTalks@Penn interviews Penn Medicine physicians about their cutting edge research and clinical trials. Our goal is to inform patients, care-givers, patient advocates and other physicians about research that occurs at Penn Medicine.
