Clinical Trials A P. Chen is currently running
Atezolizumab +/− Selinexor
for Sarcoma
This trial is testing if atezolizumab alone or with selinexor can shrink tumors in patients with a rare type of cancer called alveolar soft part sarcoma. Atezolizumab boosts the immune system to fight cancer, and selinexor stops cancer cells from growing. The goal is to see if these treatments work better than the usual care.
Recruiting1 award Phase 2
Talazoparib
for Advanced Cancer
This phase II trial studies if talazoparib works in patients with cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) and has mutation(s) in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage response genes who have or have not already been treated with another PARP inhibitor. Talazoparib is an inhibitor of PARP, a protein that helps repair damaged DNA. Blocking PARP may help keep cancer cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy. All patients who take part on this study must have a gene aberration that changes how their tumors are able to repair DNA. This trial may help scientists learn whether some patients might benefit from taking different PARP inhibitors "one after the other" and learn how talazoparib works in treating patients with advanced cancer who have aberration in DNA repair genes.
