  • DEBRA: De-Escalation of Breast Radiation Trial for Hormone Sensitive, HER-2 Negative, Oncotype Recurrence Score Less Than or Equal to 18 Breast Cancer
    • Study ID: DEBRA
    • Principal Investigator: Grant Seeger, MD
• Kidney
  • Immunotherapy With Nivolumab and Ipilimumab Followed by Nivolumab or Nivolumab With Cabozantinib for Patients With Advanced Kidney Cancer, The PDIGREE Study.
    • Study ID: Alliance A031704
    • Principal Investigator: Grant Seeger, MD
• Lung
  • This is a Phase III, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multi-center study assessing the efficacy and safety of durvalumab with SoC SBRT versus placebo with SoC SBRT in patients with unresected clinical Stage I/II lymph node-negative (T1 to T3N0M0) NSCLC.
    • Study ID: PACIFIC-4/RTOG-3515
    • Principal Investigator: Grant Seeger, MD
  • MRI Brain Surveillance Alone Versus MRI Surveillance and Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation (PCI): A Randomized Phase III Trial in Small-Cell Lung Cancer (MAVERICK).
    • Study ID: SWOG S1827
    • Principal Investigator: Grant Seeger, MD
  • Phase III Prospective Randomized Trial of Primary Lung Tumor Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy Followed by Concurrent Mediastinal Chemoradiation for Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
    • Study ID: NRG LU008
    • Principal Investigator: Grant Seeger, MD
  • A Study of V940 Plus Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) Versus Placebo Plus Pembrolizumab in Participants with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
    • STUDY ID: V940-002
    • Principal Investigator: Grant Seeger, MD
• Prostate
  • This phase II trial compares the effect of oxybutynin versus placebo for reducing hot flashes in men receiving androgen deprivation (hormone) therapy for the treatment of prostate cancer. Androgen deprivation therapy decreases testosterone and other androgens through medications or surgical removal of the testicles. Relative to placebo, low- or high-dose oxybutynin may reduce hot flashes in men receiving androgen deprivation therapy.
