Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms"

The dose escalation phase of this trial identifies the best dose and safety of ceralasertib (AZD6738) when given in combination with trastuzumab deruxtecan (DS-8201a) in treating patients with solid tumors that have a change (mutation) in the HER2 gene or protein and have spread to other places in the body (advanced). The dose expansion phase (phase Ib) of this trial compares how colorectal and gastroesophageal cancers with HER2 mutation respond to treatment with a combination of ceralasertib and trastuzumab deruxtecan versus trastuzumab deruxtecan alone. Trastuzumab deruxtecan is a monoclonal antibody, called trastuzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, called deruxtecan. Trastuzumab attaches to HER2 positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers deruxtecan to kill them. Ceralasertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This clinical trial will evaluate raludotatug deruxtecan (R-DXd; DS-6000a) in participants with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and ovarian cancer (OVC). The main goals of this study will be to investigate the recommended dose of R-DXd that can be given safely to participants, assess the side effects of R-DXd, and evaluate the effectiveness of R-DXd.

The aim of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of AloCELYVIR, which consist in bone marrow-derived allogenic mesenchymal stem cells infected with an oncolytic Adenovirus, ICOVIR-5. It has recently been proven that this type of cells are able of transporting oncolytic substances to tumor targets that are difficult to reach, such as medulloblastomas and gliomas, youth cancers located in the cranial cavity that have a poor prognosis and a fatal outcome. In addition, to exerting an anti-tumor action, this virus has the ability to stimulate the immune response, making the therapy even more effective. Thus, the diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma and the medulloblastoma in relapse/progression have been chosen to study the potential of this new advanced therapy through a weekly infusion for 8 weeks.

This is a single-arm, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HX008 injection in patients with BCG-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.

A prospective multicenter randomized non-inferiority clinical trial, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 1.0 cm-safety margin surgery, compared with 1.5 cm safety margin surgery for cT1-2N0 oral tongue cancer Summary: A current standard primary treatment for oral tongue cancer is a curative surgical resection with/without adjuvant radiation treatments (or chemoradiation). In pathological analysis of surgical specimens, more than 5 mm of non-tumorous tissues from the tumor border is regarded as a safe negative resection margin, according to the NCCN guideline (the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, Dec 10. 2020). To achieve this clear margin, surgeons are apt to use a 1.0 to 1.5 cm safety margin around the gross tumor during surgery, considering 30-50% tumor shrinkage in tissue fixation process. Many previous retrospective data have been reported to suggest the optimal or proper surgical extent for oral tongue cancer. Wider resection can lead to better local control, however, it sacrifices more normal tissue, resulting in the functional deficit of tongue (speech and swallowing), even with reconstruction. Unfortunately up to now, no prospective comparison of a different surgical safety margin for oral tongue cancer have been conducted to draw a more solid conclusion. Particularly in early stage oral tongue cancer (cT1-2N0), some study results have suggested that less than 5 mm resection margin in pathology specimens can be also safe and effective in terms of tumor control. To achieve a well-grounded result about the proper surgical safety margin in early stage (cT1-2N0) oral tongue cancer, we will compare the outcomes of the two (1.5 cm versus 1.0 cm) surgical safety margin in curative resection for cT1-2N0 oral tongue cancer.

Phase I study to evaluate safety and systemic immunogenicity of the DCP-001 vaccine in patients with high grade serous ovarian cancer after primary treatment.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of combination therapy with dabrafenib and trametinib (anti-BRAF and anti-MEK inhibitors) in the neoadjuvant treatment of BRAF-positive anaplastic thyroid cancer. The prognosis in patients with ATC is poor due to the rapid and invasive tumor growth and the rapid development of metastases. Dabrafenib is an antineoplastic agent, a selective RAF kinase inhibitor that competes with ATP. Oncogenic substitutions of the amino acid valine at position 600 (V600) BRAF lead to constitutive activation of the RAS / RAF / MEK / ERK pathway and stimulation of tumor cell growth. Trametinib is a reversible, highly selective, allosteric inhibitor of the activation of mitogen-activated, extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 (MEK1) and 2 (MEK2). Dabrafenib and trametinib inhibit two kinases in the signaling pathway, BRAF, and MEK. The combination of the two drugs provides effective inhibition of proliferative signal conduction. The investigators hypothesize that the combination treatment with these two drugs - dabrafenib and trametinib - can improve the response rate in the neoadjuvant mode in ATC without significant regimen-limiting toxicity and with better follow-up locoregional control.

The main objective of this trial is to assess the efficacy of onvansertib in combination with nanoliposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI), leucovorin, and fluorouracil (5-FU) for treatment of participants with histologically confirmed metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

This phase I/II trials investigates the side effects of olaparib and durvalumab and how well it works in combination with carboplatin, etoposide, and/or radiation therapy in treating patients with extensive stage-small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) who have not received treatment for their disease. PARPs are proteins that help repair DNA mutations. PARP inhibitors, such as olaparib, can keep PARP from working, so tumor cells can't repair themselves, and they may stop growing. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as carboplatin and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high energy sources to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving olaparib and durvalumab together with carboplatin, etoposide, and/or radiation therapy may help treat patients with ES-SCLC.

This research study is studying a drug as a possible treatment for High Grade Meningioma.
