Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms"

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the ability of Tadalafil alone and in combination with neoadjuvant FLOT (5-Fluorouracil, Oxaliplatin, and Docetaxel) chemotherapy to suppress myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in patients with resectable gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. Resectable means the tumor may be removed through surgical intervention. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is chemotherapy received before the primary course of treatment i.e.surgical intervention. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is Tadalafil treatment with FLOT feasible and safe? How does tadalafil treatment with FLOT affect the tumor microenvironment (TME)? Will 8 weeks of neoadjuvant exposure to tadalafil with chemotherapy reduce MDSCs in the TME? Participants will receive Tadalafil for 14 days followed by combination of Tadalafil + FLOT for approximately 8 weeks as a part of standard of care neoadjuvant treatment in the window between cancer diagnosis and surgical intervention to remove their tumor. Tumor tissue, blood, and urine will be collected at the start of the study, after 2 weeks of treatment with Tadalafil alone, and around the time of surgical intervention. Saliva will also be collected at the start of the study.

This phase II/III trial compares treatment with encorafenib and cetuximab to usual care (patient observation) for reducing the chance of cancer recurrence after standard surgery and chemotherapy in patients with BRAF-mutated stage IIB-III colon cancer. Encorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Cetuximab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It binds to a protein called EGFR, which is found on some types of tumor cells. This may help keep tumor cells from growing. Giving encorafenib and cetuximab after standard surgery and chemotherapy may be more effective at reducing the chance of cancer recurrence compared to the usual patient observation.

This phase II trial studies how well gemcitabine, cisplatin, nab-paclitaxel and durvalumab work before surgery in treating participants with Biliary Tract Cancer. The international multicenter phase III clinical study TOPAZ-1 has confirmed that durvalumab combined with gemcitabine and cisplatin can bring survival benefits to advanced BTC. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as nab-paclitaxel, cisplatin, and gemcitabine, 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. Giving combination chemotherapy and Durvalumab before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.

This is a randomized, controlled, multi-center trial in subjects diagnosed with Actinic Keratosis (AK) where each subject serves as their own control. The trial will be conducted at 2 sites, one in Germany and one in the United States. Approximately 60 subjects will be randomized to ensure 51 subjects complete the study.

This is a Phase 1 dose-escalation study of PRT3789, a SMARCA2 degrader, in participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors with loss of SMARCA4 due to truncating mutation and/or deletion. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), and pharmacodynamic (PD) of PRT3789, describe any dose limiting toxicities (DLTs), define the dosing schedule, and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) to be used in subsequent development of PRT3789.

Allogeneic stem cell (allo SCT) transplantation for multiple myeloma is a potential curative treatment, but is associated with morbidity and treatment related mortality. Approved drug combinations or another autologous stem cell transplantation (auto-SCT) can be used for relapsed patients resulting in a median progression free survival up to 2-3 years. In the current trial after first-line treatment relapsed or progressed myeloma patients with an HLA compatible donor will be randomized after 3 cycles of salvage therapy to allogeneic stem cell transplantation or to continuous conventional salvage therapy.

This phase III trial compares the effect of adding immunotherapy (brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab) to standard treatment (chemotherapy with or without radiation) to the standard treatment alone in improving survival in patients with stage I and II classical Hodgkin lymphoma. Brentuximab vedotin is in a class of medications called antibody-drug conjugates. It is made of a monoclonal antibody called brentuximab that is linked to a cytotoxic agent called vedotin. Brentuximab attaches to CD30 positive lymphoma cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, 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 doxorubicin hydrochloride, bleomycin sulfate, vinblastine sulfate, dacarbazine, and procarbazine hydrochloride work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill cancer cells. It may also lower the body's immune response. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair and may kill cancer cells. Vincristine is in a class of medications called vinca alkaloids. It works by stopping cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Prednisone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Adding immunotherapy to the standard treatment of chemotherapy with or without radiation may increase survival and/or fewer short-term or long-term side effects in patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma compared to the standard treatment alone.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety/tolerability efficacy of oncolytic virotherapy combined with Tislelizumab plus lenvatinib as second-line or later therapy in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.

In this study, it will be investigated whether the methods of self-regulation of mental state have an effect on postoperative pain perception in colon cancer patients.

A phase 1 dose escalation and expanded cohort study of TR115 in the treatment of adult patients with relapsed/refractory non-hodgkin's lymphoma or advanced solid tumors.
