Active clinical trials for "Adenocarcinoma"

This is a randomized phase II study trial that has served as a screening trial to test the increased efficacy of chemotherapy + cetuximab versus chemotherapy alone among patients with untreated, advanced or metastatic colon cancer regardless of tumor status with respect to EGFR.

Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Interferon-gamma may interfere with the growth of tumor cells and slow the growth of the tumor. Combining more than one drug with interferon-gamma may kill more tumor cells. This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of giving fluorouracil together with phenylbutyrate, indomethacin, and interferon-gamma and to see how well it works in treating patients with stage IV colorectal cancer

Current therapies for Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagus provide limited benefit to the patient. The anti-cancer properties of Antineoplaston therapy suggest that it may prove beneficial in the treatment of Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagus. PURPOSE: This study is being performed to determine the effects (good and bad) that Antineoplaston therapy has on patients with Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagus.

Cancer immunotherapy has the great potential to achieve long-term survival in patients with a solid malignancy. However, the beneficial effect of cancer immunotherapy is seen in only a minority of patients. Mounting evidence suggests that immunosuppressive features in the tumor microenvironment prevent an effective antitumor defense. The aim of the investigators is to comprehensively analyze the cytokine profile and the tumor immune infiltrate in the tumor microenvironment and to investigate its prognostic significance in patients with radically resected lung adenocarcinoma.

This study will test the combination of abemaciclib with pembrolizumab in patients with gastric, gastroesophageal junction, or esophageal adenocarcinoma that is metastatic or cannot be surgically removed, and who have progressed on, or were unable to tolerate, at least 2 earlier courses of treatment for their advanced disease.

This phase II trial studies the side effects of durvalumab and chemotherapy before surgery in treating patients with variant histology bladder cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may induce changes in the body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, cisplatin, gemcitabine, and carboplatin, 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 durvalumab in addition to standard chemotherapy may lead to better outcomes in patients with variant histology bladder cancer.

This study will be conducted in adult participants diagnosed with NSCLC who have been previously treated for a minimum of 12 weeks with any PD-1 or PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor. This is a phase 1b/2, multi-center, open label study designed to assess safety and tolerability of grapiprant in combination with pembrolizumab, to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) with pembrolizumab, and to evaluate disease response with grapiprant based on investigator assessments. Pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and response biomarkers will also be assessed.

This is an open-label, single-center, single-arm, dose escalation and dose expansion Phase I/IIa study designed to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and the safety and tolerability profile along with preliminary signs of efficacy of rivoceranib in combination with paclitaxel as a second-line therapy in advanced, recurrent and/or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer. This study will also characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of rivoceranib and paclitaxel when given in combination.

This is a single-institution, single-arm phase II trial of Durvalumab combined with Radiation Therapy (RT) for metastatic pancreatic cancer patients who have progressed through first-line chemotherapy.

Electrochemotherapy (ECT) is a non-thermal tumour ablation modality. It consists of the local potentiation, by means of local reversible electroporation of tumour tissues, of the antitumor activity of non-permeant or poorly permeant anticancer drugs already possessing intrinsic cytotoxicity. ECT has proved to be effective in the treatment of various cutaneous tumour nodules of any origin. Mostly ECT is offered to patients in case of multiple cutaneous metastases, when they cannot be excised, due to their number or localization. This study investigate the application of ECT in the treatment of liver metastases from colorectal adenocarcinoma, for which other thermal cytoreductive methods would be risky compared to the supposed expected clinical benefits.
