Clinical Trials Charles A. Leath is currently running
Dostarlimab
for Advanced Cancer
This trial is testing dostarlimab, a medicine that helps the immune system fight cancer, in patients with advanced solid tumors who have limited treatment options. It works by blocking a protein that allows cancer cells to hide from the immune system. Dostarlimab has garnered extensive interest for its ability to activate the immune system to respond to cancer cells.

Surgical Procedures
for Reducing Ovarian Cancer Risk
This study evaluates how well two surgical procedures (bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy) work in reducing the risk of ovarian cancer for individuals with BRCA1 mutations. Bilateral salpingectomy involves the surgical removal of fallopian tubes, and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy involves the surgical removal of both the fallopian tubes and ovaries. This study may help doctors determine if the two surgical procedures are nearly the same for ovarian cancer risk reduction for women with BRCA1 mutations.
