Every treatment that has ever made a difference in cancer care was once a part of a clinical trial. MUSC Hollings Cancer Center is committed to offering the best treatments available today while searching for even better ones for the future. Ask your doctor if a clinical trial is right for you.
STUDY17022 First in Human, Phase 1/1b, Open label, Multicenter Study of Bifunctional EGFR/TGF ß Fusion Protein BCA101 Monotherapy and in Combination Therapy in Patients with EGFR Driven Advanced Solid Tumors The investigational drug to be studied in this protocol, BCA101, is a first-in-class compound that targets both EGFR with TGFβ. Based on preclinical data, this bifunctional antibody may exert synergistic activity in patients with EGFR-driven tumors. Study Information
STUDY17262 Combination of Autophagy Selective Therapeutics (COAST) in Relapsed Gynecological Cancers, Relapsed Prostate Cancer, or other Advanced Solid Tumors, a Phase I/II Trial Autophagy is a cancer cell survival mechanism that is involved in cancer growth, treatment resistance, and metastasis. Hydroxychloroquine and nelfinavir mesylate are agents that inhibit the process of autophagy. Metformin, dasatinib, and sirolimus stress autophagy. Study Information
STUDY21108 GOG-3076 a Phase 3 Trial in Platinum-Resistant/Refractory Ovarian Cancer The primary objective is to determine Progression-free Survival (PFS) by RECIST 1.1. To determine Objective Response Rate (ORR) and Duration of Response (DOR) by RECIST 1.1, PFS by RECIST 1.1 (in modified population), PFS by iRECIST, Overall Survival (OS), and safety.

STUDY21660 Testing Nivolumab With or Without Ipilimumab in Deficient Mismatch Repair System (dMMR) Recurrent Endometrial Carcinoma This phase II trial tests whether the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab is better than nivolumab alone to shrink tumors in patients with deficient mismatch repair system (dMMR) endometrial carcinoma that has come back after a period of time during which the cancer could not be detected (recurrent). Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mismatch repair (MMR) is a system for recognizing and repairing damaged DNA. In 2-3% of endometrial cancers this may be due to a hereditary condition resulted from gene mutation called Lynch Syndrome (previously called hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer or HNPCC). MMR deficient cells usually have many DNA mutations. Tumors that have evidence of mismatch repair deficiency tend to be more sensitive to immunotherapy. There is some evidence that nivolumab with ipilimumab can shrink or stabilize cancers with deficient mismatch repair system. However, it is not known whether this will happen in endometrial cancer; therefore, this study is designed to answer that question. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving nivolumab in combination with ipilimumab may be better than nivolumab alone in treating dMMR recurrent endometrial carcinoma. Study Information
STUDY21844 A Phase II/III Study of Paclitaxel/Carboplatin Alone or Combined with Either Trastuzumab and Hyaluronidase-oysk (HERCEPTIN HYLECTA) or Pertuzumab Trastuzumab and Hyaluronidase-zzfx (PHESGO) in HER2 Positive, Stage I-IV Endometrial Serous Carcinoma or Carcinosarcoma This phase II/III trial tests whether adding trastuzumab and hyaluronidase-oysk (Herceptin HylectaTM) or pertuzumab, trastuzumab and hyaluronidase-zzxf (PhesgoTM) to the usual chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin) works to shrink tumors in patients with HER2 positive endometrial serous carcinoma or carcinosarcoma.
