Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms"

This is an open label, multicenter, randomized study in Chinese patients with RAS and BRAF wild-type mCRC. Participants were randomly assigned to cetuximab + FOLFOX (group A) and cetuximab + modified XELOX[mXELOX] (group B). All patients in groups A and B will be treated until progression of disease(PD), death, intolerable toxicity or withdrawal of informed consent, whichever occurs first.

This phase Ib trial tests the side effects and best dose of minnelide when given together with osimertinib for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced) and has a change (mutation) in a gene called EGFR. Minnelide is a biologically inactive compound that can be broken down in the body to produce a drug that rapidly releases the active compound triptolide when exposed to phosphatases in the bloodstream. Sometimes, mutations in the EGFR gene cause EGFR proteins to be made in higher than normal amounts on some types of cancer cells. This causes cancer cells to divide more rapidly. Osimertinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking EGFR that is needed for cell growth in this type of cancer. Minnelide and osimertinib may work better in treating patients with EGFR mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

This phase 1/2 trial tests the safety and effectiveness of a cancer vaccine called Labvax 3(22)-23 and GM-CSF alone or in combination with pembrolizumab in treating adenocarcinoma that has spread to other places in the body (advanced stage). Labvax 3(22)-23 is designed to target a specific antigen (labyrinthin), which is a protein found on the surface of adenocarcinoma tumor cells. Labyrinthin is a protein that is not expressed on normal cells in the skin, lungs, salivary glands, pancreas, nor other tissues. In adenocarcinoma, the tumor cells produce too much labyrinthin causing them to express this protein on the surface of the tumor cells. One way to control the growth of these tumor cells is to teach the immune system to generate an immune response against the labyrinthin protein by vaccination against labyrinthin. GM-CSF, or sargramostim, is a protein that acts as a white blood cell growth factor. It has also been shown to stimulate immune system. Thus, administration of GM-CSF may help to boost the immune system response when given together with the vaccine. This study may improve the general knowledge about Labvax 3(22)-23 and how the body may generate an immune response to kill adenocarcinoma tumor cells. In the second phase of the study, participants will also receive pembrolizumab, which may improve anti-cancer activity when given with Labvax 3(22)-23 and GM-CSF.

Background: There are no approved drugs to treat recurrent thymoma and thymic carcinoma. New therapies are needed for people with these cancers. Researchers want to see if the drug PT-112 can help. PT-112 kills cancer cells. It also helps the body s immune system fight cancer. Objective: To see if the study drug PT-112 can cause tumors to shrink. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older who have thymoma or thymic cancer and whose disease returned or progressed after treatment with at least one platinum-containing chemotherapy, or who have refused standard treatment. Design: Participants will be screened with: Review of medical history and medications Physical exam Blood and urine tests CT or MRI scans of parts of the body, including the brain Participants will get PT-112 on days 1, 8, and 15 of 28-day cycles. They will get the drug by infusion through a catheter. The catheter is a small plastic tube put into a vein. On days they receive the drug, participants will have physical exams and blood and urine tests. They will have an ECG to test heart function on day 1 of each cycle. Participants will have scans every 8 weeks. Participants may choose to have tumor biopsies on day 1 of cycles 1 and 3. Biopsies may be guided by an ultrasound or CT scan. Participants will continue treatment as long as they can handle the side effects and their disease does not get worse. Participants will have follow-up visits 2 weeks and 4 weeks after they stop therapy. Then the study team will check on participants every 3 months for the rest of their life.

A phase 1, open-label, non-randomized study enrolling pediatric and young adult patients with relapsed or refractory CD33+ leukemia with and without prior history of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation, to examine the safety and feasibility of administering an autologous T cell product that has been genetically modified to express a Dimerizing Agent Regulated Immunoreceptor Complex (DARIC).

The purpose is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Surufatinib in patients with osteosarcoma and soft tissue sarcoma after Standard chemotherapy therapy.

Doctors leading this study hope to learn about the safety and effectiveness of combining medications HB-201 and HB-202 (also known as TheraT® vectors) with chemotherapy using carboplatin and paclitaxel in the beginning of the study (induction) and if combining these medications can increase tumor shrinkage after therapy and reduce the amount of radiotherapy and chemotherapy that will later be needed. In addition, the study is looking at ways to reduce side effects overall using robotic surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, or radiotherapy alone. Your participation in this research will last about 2 years. HB-201 and HB-202 are experimental (meaning the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved these drugs), and therefore they can only be given in a research study.

The study is researching an experimental drug called linvoseltamab in combination with other drugs for the treatment of a blood cancer called multiple myeloma. Linvoseltamab has previously been studied as a single agent (without other cancer treatments) in participants with multiple myeloma that returned after multiple prior therapies and needed to be treated again. In the initial study, some participants treated with linvoseltamab had improvement of their myeloma, including complete responses (no evidence of myeloma in their bodies). This study is the first time linvoseltamab will be combined with other cancer therapies. The main goal is to understand if linvoseltamab can be given safely with other cancer treatments, and if so, what dose of linvoseltamab should be used for each combination. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: How many participants treated with linvoseltamab in combination with each of the other cancer treatments have improvement of their multiple myeloma What side effects may happen from taking linvoseltamab together with another cancer treatment How much study drug is in your blood at different times Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects)

Multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled phase III clinical trial to evaluate and compare the activity and safety of two experimental arms consisting of lurbinectedin as single agent (Group A) or the combination of lurbinectedin with irinotecan (Group B) versus Investigator's Choice (topotecan or irinotecan) as control arm (Group C), in Small-cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) patients who failed one prior platinum-containing line.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn about the safety and effectiveness of giving KDS-1001 in combination with a standard stem cell transplant to patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), or chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). KDS-1001 is a study product created using certain immune cells called natural killer (NK) cells collected from a third-party donor.
