Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of nemtabrutinib (formerly ARQ 531) in participants with hematologic malignancies of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/ small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), Richter's transformation, marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), and Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM).

This is a prospective single arm, multi-center, phase II clinical trial to observe the efficacy and safety of Rituximab, Lenalidomide combined with high-dose Methotrexate and Temozolomide (RL-MT) in the first-line treatment for patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma.

Glioblastoma (GBM), a very aggressive brain tumour, is one of the most malignant of all cancers and is associated with a poor prognosis. The majority of GBM cells display damaged mitochondria (the "batteries" of cells), so they rely on an alternate method for producing energy called the Warburg Effect, which relies nearly exclusively on glucose (in contrast, normal cells can use other molecules, such as fatty acids and fat-derived ketones, for energy). Metabolic interventions, such as fasting and ketogenic diets, target cancer cell metabolism by enhancing mitochondria function, decreasing blood glucose levels, and increasing blood ketone levels, creating an advantage for normal cells but a disadvantage for cancer cells. Preliminary experience at Waikato Hospital has shown that a metabolic therapy program (MTP) utilizing fasting and ketogenic diets is feasible and safe in people with advanced cancer, and may provide a therapeutic benefit. We aim to determine whether using an MTP concurrently with standard oncological treatment (chemoradiation followed by adjuvant chemotherapy) is feasible and safe in patients with GBM, and has treatment outcomes consistent with greater overall treatment efficacy than in published trials.

The investigators want to study the effectiveness of prophylactic cholecystectomy in patients with midgut neuroendocrine tumor (jejunum, ileum or proximal colon) who require primary tumor surgery. When patients are diagnosed and are tributary to surgical treatment, the tumor might compromise vascularization, and patients need an extensive bowel resection. The patients might also receive medical treatment with somatostatin analogs. The combination of extensive bowel resection and medical treatment might increase gallbladder stones, but patients might not develop biliary stone disease, as in the general population, where 20% of the population have gallbladder stones but only a 10 to 15 % of the population will develop symptoms. The idea comes from the lack of literature about the incidence of biliary Stone disease in patients with midgut NET tumors. It's a multicentric, open-label and randomized clinical trial to evaluate the incidence of biliary stone disease in patients with midgut NET who require primary tumor surgery combined or not to cholecystectomy. Our hypothesis suggests that patients with midgut neuroendocrine tumor who require primary tumor resection without the combination of prophylactic cholecystectomy do not have an increased incidence of biliary stone disease two years after the surgery, regardless of treatment with SSA.

This is a Phase 1 dose esclation study following a 3+3 study design. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ADI-001 in patients with B cell malignancies.

This will be an open-label, dose escalation, multi-center, Phase I/II clinical trial to assess the safety of ECT204 T-cell therapy and determine the RP2D in adult subjects (≥ 18 years of age) who have GPC3-positive HCC and have failed or not tolerated at least two (2) different anti-HCC systemic agents.

Several ex vivo, in vitro, and observational studies on various type of cancer shown positive effect of vitamin D. Vitamin D has widely known as immunomodulator property in various diseases. However, it remains limited studies on immunity and cachexia in cancer, particularly in ovarian cancer. This study will investigate the effect of vitamin D in immune response during chemotherapy among epithelial ovarian cancer patients who have a low level of vitamin D and cachexia

The results of the present study will provide information on short-term safety and efficacy of a iPET and MTV-adapted therapeutic strategy, aimed to assess the feasibility and safety on immediate disease control of a standard ABVD chemotherapy without any further treatment in patients with a very low risk or treatment failure. A second very important endpoint will be the efficacy of INRT "on demand" followed by Nivolumab maintenance for one year to rescue patients failing first-line treatment and relapsing with the pattern of "limited relapse" in terms of 3-Y failure from 2 relapse (FF2R). Patients entering into the study will be also asked to participate to a long-term follow up study (beyond ten years) to assess the prevalence of late-onset cardiovascular effects and secondary tumors in the cohort of patients enrolled in the experimental and control arm of the study. An exploratory endpoint has been also added such as the role of Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) detection by cell-free DNA assay on peripheral blood samples obtained during treatment in predicting long-term disease control.

Limited agents are optional after standard first and second line treatment for mCRC. Nowadays, cancer therapy has entered the era of immunotherapy. The approved cancer therapies include pembrolizumab and nivolumab, but only for MSI-H patients. 95% of non MSI-H / dMMR patients with advanced colorectal cancer can not benefit from them. Therefore, the use of PD-1 / PD-L1 monoclonal antibody in mCRC is greatly limited. Our previous research showed that anti-PD-1 combined with Fruquintinib can significantly inhibit the growth of CRC in MSS mice. At the same time, a retrospective clinical study showed that patients with MSS CRC can benefit from Sintilimab combined with Fruquintinib. Camrelizumab is PD-1 monoclonal antibody, which has been approved for a variety of tumors. The prospective clinical trial of Camrelizumab combined with Fruquintinib may bring new hope for the treatment of non MSI-H / dMMR patients with mCRC.This study is aimed to explore the efficacy, safety in advanced colorectal cancer failed to standard therapy in Chinese population.

This is a randomized, Phase III, multicenter, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ZKAB001 in combination with carboplatin + etoposide compared with treatment with placebo + carboplatin + etoposide in patients who have ES-SCLC and are untreated for their extensive-stage disease.
