Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms"

A Phase II Study of Cabozantinib for Patients with Recurrent or Progressive Meningioma

Propranolol (beta-blocker), is successfully used for the treatment of infantile hemangiomas, the most common vascular tumor of newborns. The mechanism is related to its anti-angiogenetic and pro-apoptotic effects. Recently, in vitro studies demonstrated that propranolol decreased the expression of target genes of the HIF (hypoxia-inducible factor, of which the VHL gene is the main regulator) pathway in hemangioblastoma cells and affected their viability. The efficacy of propranolol (stabilization of all HB and decrease in serum VEGF levels) was demonstrated in a phase III study, but only in retinal BHs . The only study that evaluated the effect of propranolol on CNS HB was retrospective and involved a limited number of patients. Nevertheless, it showed a decrease in the growth rate of HBs. The investigator therefore propose to carry out a randomized controlled trial to study the effect of propranolol on the growth of CNS HB in patients with VHL disease (von Hippel-Lindau). The hypothesis of the present work is the following: the use of propranolol in VHL patients with CNS HB allows to decrease and/or slow down the tumor growth.

Previous studies have confirmed that limb pain caused by oxaliplatin chemotherapy is related to spinal cord central sensitization - induced hyperalgesia through oxaliplatin activating spinal cord NMDA receptor(N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor). The investigators speculate that this may be the same as the mechanism of severe abdominal pain caused by HAIC(Hepatic Artery Infusion Chemotherapy) during oxaliplatin infusion. The analgesic effect of Esketamine is mainly related to its inhibition of NMDA receptor in spinal cord. Therefore, this study hypothesized that Esketamine can inhibit the sensitization of spinal cord center by inhibiting NMDA receptor, so as to alleviate severe abdominal pain during HAIC perfusion, and reduce abdominal pain caused by ischemia and inflammation by TACE(transcatheter arterial chemoembolization) by improving organ perfusion and anti-inflammatory effect, Therefore, it is expected that Esketamine can better alleviate acute severe abdominal pain caused by TACE-HAIC (transcatheter arterial chemoembolization combined with Hepatic Artery Infusion Chemotherapy )treatment than sufentanil, decrease the dosage of opioids, and reduce the incidence and degree of chronic abdominal pain after treatment.

This project is an open, dose escalation and expansion phase I clinical study. The first phase is a dose escalation study, and the second phase is a dose expansion study based on the Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) / Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) obtained in the first phase. The purpose is to evaluate the tolerability and initially evaluate the antitumor efficacy of TQB2618 injection combined with demethylation drugs in patients with recurrent/refractory acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes.

This study is designed to assess the antitumor activity of combination therapy of SMT-NK (allogeneic natural killer cells) and pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab monotherapy in patients with advanced biliary tract cancer

Disease progression is typical for patients with epidermal growth factor receptor mutated (EGFRm) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Standard platinum-based chemotherapy offers limited efficacy and an unfavorable safety profile.There is an urgent need for more effective and tolerable therapies for patients with EGFRm NSCLC who have exhausted available targeted therapies. Clinical evidence suggest that patritumab deruxtecan constitutes a promising investigational therapy for patients with EGFRm NSCLC.

A Randomized, Multicenter Study Investigating Efficacy and Safety of anti-PD-1/PD-L1-treatment +/- UV1 vaccination as first line treatment in patients with inoperable advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. The objective of the phase 2 study is to induce a meaningful Progression-Free Survival (PFS) benefit in patients with stage IIIB/IIIC or stage IV NSCLC by treating with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 treatment and UV1 vaccination versus anti-PD-1/PD-L1 treatment alone.

This is a phase II study where patients will undergo isatuximab and lenalidomide maintenance if they are MRD-positive after Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT)

The purpose of this multicenter, dual-cohort, prospective real-world study is to explore the efficacy and safety of penpulimab and anlotinib combined with or without TACE, as well as the optimum interval of the combination of penpulimab and anlotinib with TACE in advanced HCC patients.

To learn if the combination of nivolumab and relatlimab can help to control renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) that is locally advanced or metastatic (has spread).
