Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms"

This trial is a single-arm, prospective, multi-center clinical trial designed to demonstrate that stereotactic adaptive radiotherapy using an ablatively dosed (50Gy,5fx) for treatment of borderline-resectable, locally-advanced , or medically inoperable pancreatic adenocarcinoma will translate into a decreased toxicity. The study will evaluate GI toxicity, overall survival, local control, quality of life, and workflow metrics.

This study is a single-arm, prospective, phase II trial for patients with metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who received immunotherapy plus chemotherapy as the first-line treatment. The aim of the study is to determine if intervening with combined local therapy and immunotherapy and chemotherapy in patients with ESCC led to significant improvements in survival and disease control compared with historical data.

This is a first-in-human, open label, Phase 1/2 study to investigate the safety and efficacy of TAS3351 in patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring an acquired C797S epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation.

This open-label, phase Ib/II, multicenter study evaluated the safety, tolerability, efficacy, and PK of chidamide in combination with regorafenib in patients with HCC. Chidamide, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, functions as a tumor inhibitor. Regorafenib, a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, was approved as second-line systemic treatment for HCC patients.

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of allogenic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back (recurrent) who are undergoing brain surgery (craniotomy). Glioblastoma is the most common and most aggressive form of primary and malignant tumor of the brain. Currently, the standard of care for this disease includes surgical resection, followed by radiation with chemotherapy and tumor treating fields. Despite this aggressive therapy, the survival after finishing treatment remains low and the disease often reoccurs. Unfortunately, the available therapy options for recurrent GBM are minimal and do not have a great effect on survival. AMSCs are found in body fat and when separated from the fat, are delivered into the surgical cavity at the time of surgery. When in direct contact with tumor cells, AMSCs affect tumor growth, residual tumor cell death, and chemotherapy resistance. The use of AMSCs delivered locally into the surgical cavity of recurrent GBM during a craniotomy could improve the long-term outcomes of these patients by decreasing the progression rate and invasiveness of malignant cells.

To determine the safety and efficacy of using the drug azeliragon combined with stereotactic radiosurgery. Specifically, to determine if this combination will lead to improved response in the brain (tumor shrinking in size) and overall tumor control (how long tumor remains controlled).

Owing to that the previous study of the investigators showed that SBRT plus pembrolizumab and trametinib provided favorable outcomes compared with SBRT plus gemcitabine for pancreatic cancer, therefore, the investigators aim to further investigate the efficacy and safety of SBRT plus another kind of immunotherapy, namely adoptive cell therapy (vNKT cell), for advanced pancreatic cancer.

The objective of this research is to find out what effects (good and bad), the combination of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel therapy (GEM-ABR for the rest of the document), standard chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer, and the TheraBionic device has on participants' condition.

This study is investigating the feasibility of preoperative 5-day hypofractionated radiotherapy (HFRT) for extremity soft tissue sarcoma (STS). The primary objective is to assess the uptake of 5-day HFRT in patients with STS who are candidates for preoperative radiotherapy and limb preserving surgery. Secondary objectives include evaluation of the rates of favorable pathologic response, major wound complications, local control, acute toxicity, and 1-year late toxicity will be assessed. Exploratory objectives include evaluation of the impact of preoperative 5-day HFRT on access to care, the socio-demographic profile of the trial participants will be compared to that of extremity STS patients seen within Hollings Cancer Center (HCC) and recommended preoperative conventional fractionation radiotherapy (CFRT) in the 3 years prior to the study opening. The retention rate for radiotherapy at HCC in patients meeting trial criteria during the prior 3 years will be compared with the retention rate for radiotherapy during the study period. An exploratory analysis will measure serum SFRP2 pre- and post- radiotherapy to assess changes in response to preoperative 5-day HFRT. Changes in serum SFRP2 will be evaluated for association with a favorable pathologic response to determine the potential of serum SFRP2 as a predictive biomarker. Patient satisfaction with the decision to participate in a trial of preoperative 5-day HFRT will be assessed.

To learn if isatuximab can help to control highrisk MM when given in combination with lenalidomide after an autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT).
