Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms"

Gastric cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis has a poor prognosis, with little treatment options available. The current treatment strategy consists of palliative systemic chemotherapy. However, previous research suggests that systemic chemotherapy is less effective against peritoneal carcinomatosis than against metastases that spread hematogenously. Several studies suggested that in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis, intraperitoneal chemotherapy (IP) may be superior compared to intravenous chemotherapy. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy could lead to higher concentrations of chemotherapy in the peritoneal cavity for a longer period of time, resulting in an increased cumulative exposure to the peritoneal metastases. A few Asian studies have shown promising results with intraperitoneal chemotherapy in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis of gastric origin. However, intraperitoneal chemotherapy combined with systemic chemotherapy has not been investigated in Western patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis of gastric origin yet. The objective of this trial is to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of intraperitoneal administration of irinotecan, added to systemic capecitabine/oxaliplatin (CAPOX) in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis of gastric origin.

This study is an open-label, phase II study with a safety lead-in to assess the response rate of induction olaparib and stereotactic beam radiotherapy (SBRT) followed by combination olaparib/pembrolizumab in patients with metastatic gastric and GEJ cancers after at least one of therapy.

This study evaluates the effect of leucocyte and platelet rich fibrin Block (L-PRF Block) during endodontic microsurgery (EMS) on patient's post-operative comfort and periapical bone healing in large peri-apical lesions.

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety of efgartigimod administered to participants of the previous trial ARGX-113-2006.

Background: Cancers that spread into the thin tissue lining your lungs (pleura) cause serious illness. They often recur when removed. These tumors include malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), caused by exposure to asbestos and related fibers. Malignant pleural effusions (MPEs) are caused when cancers in other parts of the body spread to the lungs and pleura. Many people diagnosed with pleural tumors survive less than a year. Objective: To test the safety of a study drug (LMB-100) in people. LMB-100 may help stop pleural tumors from recurring after surgery. Eligibility: People aged 18 years or older diagnosed with MPM or related cancer that has spread into the pleura. Design: Participants will undergo screening. They will have a physical exam with blood and urine tests. They will have CT scans. They will have tests that measure the how their heart and lungs function. They will provide a sample of tumor tissue to determine if their tumor expresses a protein called mesothelin. Participants will undergo standard surgery to maximally remove the plural tumors. Then they will have LMB-100 pumped into their chest. The liquid will rinse the chest wall, diaphragm, heart sac, and surface of the lungs for 90 minutes. Then the liquid will be drained and the surgical incisions closed. The participants will be under anesthesia during this procedure. Participants will remain in the intensive care unit for a least 48 hours. They will remain in the hospital for up to a week or more until recovered enough to be safely discharged. Participants will return for regular follow-up visits for 2 years.

This study will assess the safety and efficacy of avutometinib (VS-6766) in combination with adagrasib in patients with G12C Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) who have been exposed to prior G12C inhibitor and experienced progressive disease.

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of a ZEN003694 when given together with abemaciclib in treating patients with NUT carcinoma or other solid tumors that have spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). ZEN003694 is an inhibitor of a family of proteins called the bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET). It may prevent the growth of tumor cells that overproduce BET protein. Abemaciclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving ZEN003694 and abemaciclib may help shrink or stabilize cancer in patients with NUT carcinoma or other solid tumors.

This is a single-center, open-label, cohort clinical study to investigate the efficacy and safety of surufatinib with or without immunotherapy in patients with advanced colorectal cancer who failed front-line anti-angiogenic TKI therapy. Patients have to received at least a second-line standard therapy or cannot tolerate other treatments, and have previously failed anti-angiogenic TKIs therapy(including but not limited to: fruquintinib/regorafenib/anlotinib) / apatinib, and are resistant to treatment, disease progression, intolerable toxicity or no continued benefit as assessed by investigator after therapy). Patients who met the eligibility criteria are randomized 1:2 into two cohorts (cohort 1: surufatinib, cohort 2: surufatinib plus immunotherapy) to receive treatment until disease progression, death, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent by the patient, or decision by the treating physician that discontinuation would be in the patient's best interest. The primary study endpoint was PFS(progression free survival).

Studies have shown that the anti-GD2 human-mouse chimeric monoclonal antibody dinutuximab has contributed significantly to the improvement of treatment for children with high-risk neuroblastoma and has become a mainstay in treating high risk neuroblastoma in children as part of up-front therapy and relapsed/refractory therapy. The administration of dinutuximab requires a significant amount of time and resources to complete the 10-20 hour standard infusion time for 4 days in the inpatient setting. During its early development, a phase I study profiling the clinical efficacy and tolerability of dinutuximab infusions in children successfully infused dinutuximab at various rates including over 1 hour at different dose levels. In the adult setting, dinutuximab has been tolerated over substantially shorter infusion times (less than 2 hours). Additionally, another anti-GD2 murine monoclonal antibody naxitamab, which has a similar toxicity profile to dinutuximab, is FDA approved for administration over 90 minutes and is successfully administered in outpatient setting. Given this reassuring data the investigators aim to evaluate the feasibility of the rapid administration of dinutuximab over four hours or less in our patient population of children with high-risk neuroblastoma. The pharmacokinetics, toxicity profile and supportive care requirements will be analyzed and described in order to determine if rapid infusion of dinutuximab can be successfully tolerated over four hours or less which would allow for administration of this agent in the outpatient setting. Should this trial prove to be successful, it would serve to decrease the hospital burden in a positive way by allowing for administration of this immunotherapy agent in the outpatient setting and patients may prefer shorter infusion duration. Furthermore, it could lessen overall costs and inpatient admissions for patients.

The research objectives is to compare vitro 3D drug sensitivity test results of micro tumor (PTC) with the clinical outcomes of patients, evaluate the consistency between the test results of the technology platform and the clinical prognosis, and explore the decision-making value and guiding significance of this technology in assisting the precise treatment of colorectal cancer. The completion of this study will provide real-world data support for the clinical application of micro tumor (PTC) in vitro 3D drug sensitivity detection technology, and provide more valuable reference basis for realizing the individualization and accuracy of colorectal cancer treatment and improving the clinical benefit rate.
