Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms"

Single center, open-label, phase 2 study to determine the efficacy of cirmtuzumab consolidation in patients with measurable disease on venetoclax.

AL (or light chain) amyloidosis begins in the bone marrow where abnormal proteins misfold and create free light chains that cannot be broken down. These free light chains bind together to form amyloid fibrils that build up in the extracellular space of organs, affecting the kidneys, heart, liver, spleen, nervous system and digestive tract. The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether CAEL-101, a monoclonal antibody that removes AL amyloid deposits from tissues and organs, improves overall survival and it is safe and well tolerated in patients with stage IIIb AL amyloidosis.

This is a multicenter, single-arm, phase II study of nivolumab in combination with regorafenib in subjects with locally-advanced rectal cancer who are eligible for a curative treatment including pre-operative SCRT and TME(or watch & wait approach). The study is based on the Simon's two-stage design and a maximum of 60 subjects will be enrolled. In addition to the standard efficacy interim analysis according to the statistical design, a safety interim analysis will be performed on the first 6 subjects who have completed the study treatment to ensure safe continuation of the study investigation. Eligible subjects will be treated according to the following sequential treatment plan: Induction treatment: This consists of treatment with nivolumab (240 mg intravenously, on day 1 and 15) and regorafenib (80 mg/day orally, from day 1 to 14) Standard SCRT: This consists of 25 Gy delivered in 5 fractions (from day 22 to 26) Consolidation treatment: This consists of treatment with nivolumab (240 mg intravenously, on day 29, 43 and 57) and regorafenib (80 mg/day orally, from day 29 to 49) Surgery: Surgical resection will be performed according to the principles of TME (between day 74 and 87, i.e., between 7 to 8 weeks after completion of SCRT). As an alternative to surgery, subjects who achieve cCR can be offered a watch & wait approach. Adjuvant chemotherapy: Administration of adjuvant chemotherapy will be left to the discretion of the treating physician The study also includes translational procedures (i.e. collection of tumour biopsies, blood samples and stool samples at pre-specified time points) for exploratory molecular and immune contexture analyses. These are mandatory for all study subjects.

This is a single center phase 1 trail to observe safety and efficacy of metronomic Capecitabine plus Camrelizumab as second-line regimen to treat head and neck cancer or esophageal squamous cancer patients. This study is one of the cohorts of a multi-cohort trial called Combination of Metronomic Capecitabine with Camrelizumab for treatment of refractory solid tumor (McCrest) trial.

To determine the efficacy of combined afatinib and prednisone in previously treated advanced squamous NSCLC

Liver transplant is the most effective treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in cirrhosis. Due to organs shortage, the proper selection of patients is imperative. Prevailing clinical morphological models used in most centres (Milan Criteria), can exclude potential candidates and include patients with aggressive biological behaviour. To more accurately select candidates for liver transplant, the inclusion of criteria that could predict the behaviour and aggressiveness of tumours, such as molecular markers, might be useful. The investigators propose the use of a new algorithm (HepatoPredict Prognostic Tool), that combine clinical and molecular criteria that address the biology of tumours, in a single centre prospective, intervention study. Data from the "HepatoPredict genomic signature" are added to the clinical and imagiology algorithm. Based on this tool, patients outside the usual eligibility criteria for liver transplant will be proposed for this treatment. These patients will be transplanted with marginal livers or with livers from patients with Familial Amyloid Polyneuropathy, not competing with patients on the waiting list. Patients will be followed up to 60 months after transplant, to assess survival and HCC recurrence with biannual imagiology screening. Survival and disease-free-survival rates will be compared with those obtained by the usual management of patients included and excluded by Milan Criteria.

This study is being done to answer the following question: What are the effects of a new drug or drugs on ovarian cancer? The pre-study screening may be done to test a sample of tissue for biomarkers to determine participation in the study.

The FOLFIRINOX regimen has become the standard treatment regimen for advanced colorectal cancer, advanced pancreatic cancer and postoperative adjuvant treatment for pancreatic cancer. With the continuous exploration of Chinese scholars, it has also revised the modified dose suitable for the physical fitness of the Chinese people, which is well tolerated and has a clear efficiency. The drugs in this program are all standard treatment drugs for gastric cancer. In 2020, JAMA Network Open and JAMA Oncology successively reported the application of FOLFIRINOX in the perioperative period of gastric cancer and the late-stage results of gastric cancer, and they obtained very amazing data respectively. According to the results of CheckMate-649, the FDA approved Nivolumab combined chemotherapy for first-line treatment of advanced or metastatic gastric cancer, gastroesophageal junction cancer and esophageal adenocarcinoma, regardless of PD-L1 expression. At the same time, this is also the first first-line immunotherapy approved by the FDA for gastric cancer.However, there is no definite conclusion about the preoperative neoadjuvant or perioperative clinical research, so it is necessary to explore the efficacy of PD-1 antibody in the perioperative period. This study is a single-center, randomized, controlled phase II clinical study. The primary endpoint of the study is the perioperative administration of mFOLFIRINOX regimen combined with PD-1 antibody and D2 radical resection for the treatment of resectable advanced gastric cancer. The deep tumor remission rate (TRG0 and TRG1) , secondary endpoints include pCR rate, 3-year DFS rate, safety, R0 resection rate, D2 radical resection rate, 5-year DFS rate, 5-year OS rate.

This is a phase 1 dose-escalation study of nilotinib in combination with fixed-dose dabrafenib and trametinib regimen for patients with metastatic or unresectable melanoma carrying a BRAF V600 mutation and have relapsed on a BRAF/MEK inhibitor therapy. The goal is to assess the toxicity and tolerability and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of the combination of nilotinib with dabrafenib and trametinib. Additionally, this study will assess pharmacokinetic parameters of dabrafenib and nilotinib when used in combination.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 2/3 study comparing the efficacy and safety of BLU-263 + best supportive care (BSC) with placebo + BSC in patients with indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM) whose symptoms are not adequately controlled by BSC. Parts 1 and 2 will enroll patients with ISM. Patients enrolled in Part 1 or Part 2 will roll over onto Part 3 to receive treatment with BLU-263 in an open-label fashion following completion of the earlier Part. Part M will enroll patients with monoclonal mast cell activation syndrome (mMCAS). The study also includes PK groups that will enroll patients with ISM.
