Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms"

This study is being done to find out if tucatinib with other cancer drugs works better than standard of care to treat participants with HER2 positive colorectal cancer. This study will also test what side effects happen when participants take this combination of drugs. A side effect is anything a drug does to the body besides treating your disease. Participants in this study have colorectal cancer that has spread through the body (metastatic) and/or cannot be removed with surgery (unresectable). Participants will be assigned randomly to the tucatinib group or standard of care group. The tucatinib group will get tucatinib, trastuzumab, and mFOLFOX6. The standard of care group will get either: mFOLFOX6 alone, mFOLFOX6 with bevacizumab, or mFOLFOX6 with cetuximab mFOLFOX6 is a combination of multiple drugs. All of the drugs given in this study are used to treat this type of cancer.

The aim of the ShorTrip trail is to evaluate the activity and the safety of total neoadjuvant strategy with FOLFOXIRI as consolidation therapy preceded by short-course radiotherapy and followed by surgery in LARC patients.

This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, Phase 3 study in participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma to evaluate the benefits of teclistamab in combination with lenalidomide and teclistamab alone versus lenalidomide alone as maintenance therapy after autologous stem cell transplant.

Background: exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (IPE), frequent in patients with pancreatic cancer, plays a major role in malnutrition and cachexia with a significant impact on survival, quality of life and tumor progression. IPE due to obstruction of the main pancreatic duct and atrophy of pancreatic parenchyma proximal to the tumor could be corrected by insertion of a pancreatic stent for improving nutritional status and consequently survival. Aim: The aim of this study is to assess the impact of transpapilar drainage of the main pancreatic duct on exocrine pancreatic function, nutritional status, and life survival in patients with unresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Methods: Impact of pancreatic endoscopic drainage on exocrine pancreatic function in patients with unresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma (DEPARA) is a double-blind, prospective, multicentre, international clinical trial. Unresectable locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer (PDAC) will be diagnosed according to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) criteria and the indication of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) due to obstructive jaundice (>3mg/dl). PEI will be defined by reduced fecal elastase levels. The nutritional status will be determined by means of Mini-Nutritional Assessment score, sarcopenia score (SARC-F) and laboratory blood tests. Primary aim: Evaluation of the improvement and difference of pancreatic secretion as measured by fecal elastase at 2 weeks post-stenting (biliopancreatic versus biliary). Secondary aims: evaluation of the prevalence of PEI post-stenting (biliopancreatic versus biliary) and proportion of patients normalizing pancreatic function. The difference in terms of weight loss, maldigestion symptoms, GI-Qol, nutricional status and performance status. Survival at 2 weeks, 3 and 6 months, overall survival. Analyzes: fecal elastase value at 2 weeks post-stenting (absolute value of fecal elastase) compared between biliopancreatic stent group and biliary stent group. Discussion: DEPARA will provide insight into the role of pancreatic stents for PEI, malnutrition and progression-free survival in the outcomes of PDAC unresectable.

This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of olanzapine combined with fosaprepitant, ondansetron and dexamethasone compared with placebo combined with fosaprepitant, ondansetron and dexamethasone in the prevention of nausea and vomiting in germ-cell tumors receiving 5-day cisplatin chemotherapy

This study is conducted in patients with advanced metastatic gastric cancer including gastroesophageal junction cancer. This study includes two arms: A and B. Arm A (patients with HER2 negative and PD-L1 CPS≥5 ) will receive HLX07 combination therapy with HLX10 and chemotherapy (oxaliplatin+capecitabine) as first-line treatment. Arm B will receive HLX07 monotherapy as third-line or above treatment. All of eligible patients will receive study drug treatment until loss of clinical benefit, unacceptable toxicity, death, withdrawal of informed consent (whichever occurs first, HLX10 treatment up to 2 years).

This study consists of Dose escalation part and Expansion part. In Dose Escalation Part, the maximum tolerated dose of combination of pimitespib and imatinib in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) who are judged to be refractory to imatinib, estimate the recommended dose, evaluate safety and pharmacokinetics, and observe the antitumor effect. Expansion part consists of 3 arms. In Arm A, the efficacy and safety will be evaluated, which of the combination of pimitespib and imatinib in patients with GIST who have failed imatinib at doses below the MTD determined in Dose Escalation Part. In Arm B, the efficacy and safety of pimitespib monotherapy will be evaluated and the therapeutic effect of imatinib administration after pimitespib will be evaluated in an exploratory manner. In Arm C, the efficacy and safety of sunitinib monotherapy will be evaluated as reference data.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and preliminary efficacy of KIN-3248, an oral small molecule FGFR inhibitor, in adults with advanced tumors harboring FGFR2 and/or FGFR3 gene alterations.

A national multicenter prospective study to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound guided radiofrequency ablation of neuroendocrine pancreatic tumors, WHO Grade 1-2 of 3 cm or less in diameter.

Pembrolizumab monotherapy and platinum-based chemotherapy in the combination with pembrolizumab for recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) have been widely used in daily clinical practice based on the KEYNOTE-048 study. On the other hand, docetaxel is a commonly used antimitotic agent in cancer therapy and might have potent antitumor effect by the immune response. A combination therapy of docetaxel and pembrolizumab might be a promising treatment for R/M HNSCC. The KEYNOTE-048 study showed that pembrolizumab plus platinum and 5-fluorouracil is a tolerable treatment for R/M HNSCC. The main grade 3/4 adverse event of platinum and 5-fluorouracil was myelosuppression such as neutropenia similar to docetaxel in some studies for R/M HNSCC. The safety profile of platinum and 5-fluorouracil is not much different from docetaxel. Therefore, docetaxel/pembrolizumab combination treatment might also be tolerable. The hypothesis of this study is that a combination therapy of docetaxel and pembrolizumab will provide benefit for patients with R/M HNSCC.
