This study enrolls people who have head and neck cancer or tumor. The purpose of this study is to learn about whether levels of HPV (Human Papillomavirus) and a protein (P16) are related to the way people respond to treatment for head and neck cancer. Read More
Eligibility:
-Patients at least 18 years of age.
-Patients who have been diagnosed with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
-Patients who have a pre-treatment biopsy of a pathologically confirmed p16/HPV positive tumor.
Researchers think the study drug, EPI-7386, may be an effective treatment for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) because the drug works by interfering with the function of the male hormone system that leads to the growth of prostate cancer. Enzalutamide is an androgen receptor inhibitor that works by blocking the action of male hormones (androgens) like testosterone to slow down the growth of prostate cancer. Enzalutamide is approved by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and is commonly used as a standard of care option for men with advanced or metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Since EPI-7386 and enzalutamide have not been combined together in humans, we are doing this study to find out whether EPI-7386, in combination with a fixed dose of enzalutamide, compared to standard of care enzalutamide alone, is a safe and effective treatment for men who have mCRPC. Study will be done at Spindrift Clinic location. Read More
Eligibility:
1) Males aged 18 years or older
2) Histologically, pathologically, or cytologically confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma
3) Presence of metastatic disease at study entry

We are doing this study to learn more about if the combination of medications (durvalumab, tremelimumab and enfortumab vedotin)before and after bladder removal surgery will work and be safe for the treatment of muscle invasive bladder cancer. Also to better understand the disease and associated health problems. Read More
Eligibility:
1) Participant must be 18 or older years at the time of screening
2) Histologically or cytologically documented muscle-invasive TCC of the bladder with clinical stage of T2-4aN0-N1M0

This clinical study investigates a new treatment for prostate cancer. ODM-208 (CYP11A1 inhibitor) is the oral study medication that will be taken together with oral glucocorticoid (dexamethasone) and mineralocorticoid (fludrocortisone) replacement therapy. The purpose of this study is to find a safe and effective dose of ODM-208 for the treatment of prostate cancer. The purpose of this study is also to use the results of this study to support development programs of CYP11A1 inhibitors in prostate cancer and other relevant indications. Read More
Eligibility:
1) Males greater than or equal to 18 years.
2) Metastatic disease documented either by a positive bone scan, CT, PET/CT or MRI scan
3) Treatment with at least 1 line of taxane-based chemotherapy in castration-sensitive prostate cancer (CSPC) or in CRPC
