Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms"

To compare the efficacy, as measured by time to treatment failure, of metronomic cyclophosphamide with respect to doxorubicin in elderly patients affected by mSTS.

Daratumumab for first line treatment of transplant-ineligible myeloma patients followed by daratumumab re-treatment at first relapse (GMMG-DADA)

This phase II trial studies the effect of polatuzumab vedotin, venetoclax, and rituximab and hyaluronidase human in treating patients with mantle cell lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Polatuzumab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, polatuzumab, linked to a toxic agent called vedotin. Polatuzumab attaches to CD79B positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. Venetoclax may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cell growth. Rituximab hyaluronidase is a combination of rituximab and hyaluronidase. Rituximab binds to a molecule called CD20, which is found on B cells (a type of white blood cell) and some types of cancer cells. This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. Hyaluronidase allows rituximab to be given by injection under the skin. Giving rituximab and hyaluronidase by injection under the skin is faster than giving rituximab alone by infusion into the blood. Giving polatuzumab vedotin, venetoclax, and rituximab and hyaluronidase human may work better than standard therapy in treating patients with mantle cell lymphoma.

Phase 1, first-in-human, open label study of CAR macrophages in HER2 overexpressing solid tumors.

This is a prospective, 2-arm (with an additional exploratory arm), open-label, multicenter study looking at the response rate of patients receiving selinexor (KPT-330), in combination with carfilzomib, daratumumab or pomalidomide. Multiple Myeloma patients with documented disease progression or refractory disease while on current treatment with any carfilzomib-containing regimen (arm 1), any pomalidomide-containing regimen (arm 2) or any daratumumab-containing regimen (exploratory arm) will be included in the study. Patients will be assigned to the respective groups according to their current treatment. If a subject has received more than one of the above therapies, then assignment will be made at their physician's discretion (e.g treatment decision can be made based upon patient and physician preferred tolerance.). Patients will receive treatment until progressive disease (PD), death, toxicity that cannot be managed by standard of care, or withdrawal, whichever occurs first.

A Prospective Phase II Study of Individualized Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy for Rectal Cancer Based on Recurrence Risk

Open label first-in-human study of TH1902 in solid cancer, with 4 sequential parts: Part 1 (dose escalation): patients with recurrent advanced solid tumors (all comers) that have relapsed or are refractory to standard chemotherapy, surgery, radiation therapy, and for which no known effective therapies exist. Part 2 (expansion): selected patient populations with recurrent advanced TNBC, HR+ breast cancer, epithelial ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, cutaneous melanoma, thyroid cancer, SCLC, prostate cancer and other cancers known to express SORT1 that are refractory to standard therapy. Part 3 (optimization): patients diagnosed with histologically or cytologically confirmed high grade serous ovarian cancer, including high grade peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer, or high grade endometrioid cancer, that is refractory or resistant to standard therapies, should not be considered platinum sensitive, and where current therapy is not considered to be providing benefit. Part 4 (basket expansion): selected cancer type diagnosed with histologically or cytologically confirmed cancers, where TH1902 has been studied and/or showed activity (in Parts 1 to 3), that is refractory or resistant to standard therapies, and where current therapy is not considered to be providing benefit.

This phase II trial studies the effect of pembrolizumab alone compared to the usual approach (chemotherapy [cisplatin and carboplatin] plus radiation therapy) after surgery in treating patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma that has come back (recurrent) or patients with a second head and neck cancer that is not from metastasis (primary). Radiation therapy uses high energy radiation or protons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Cisplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Carboplatin is also in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving pembrolizumab alone after surgery may work better than the usual approach in shrinking recurrent or primary head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

This is an open-label study, where participants will be given ceftolozane-tazobactam as the primary treatment for Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections. Open-label means both the investigator and the participant will known what drug will be given. Participants will be followed for approximately 60 days. Ceftolozane-tazobactam is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of serious bacterial infection and the investigator hypothesizes that ceftolozane/tazobactam may be effective as the primary antibiotic treatment for Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections.

This is an open-labelled and non-controlled Phase I/II clinical trial, evaluating the safety and the efficacy of Human T Lymphoid Progenitor (HTLP) injection to accelerate immune reconstitution after umbilical cord blood (UCB) transplantation in adult patients with hematologic malignancies. The dose limiting toxicity of HTLP injection will be evaluated using a model-based design.
