Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Adenoid Cystic"

Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of erlotinib in treating patients who have metastatic or unresectable solid tumors and liver or kidney dysfunction. Biological therapies such as erlotinib may interfere with the growth of tumor cells and slow the growth of the tumor

This phase I trial is studying the side effects of gefitinib in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable head and neck cancer or non-small cell lung cancer. Gefitinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth

9-ING-41 is a small molecule potent selective GSK-3β inhibitor with antitumor activity. This study investigates 9-ING-41 in combination with carboplatin chemotherapy in patients with incurable, recurrent or metastatic salivary gland carcinomas (SGC). Patients with advanced SGC (including all histologic subtypes and adenoid cystic carcinoma [ACC]) will receive 9-ING-41 intravenously (IV) along with carboplatin IV at standard dosing together on Day 1, and 9-ING-41 alone on Day 4 of a 21-day cycle. Participants will be enrolled to two histologic cohorts: Cohort 1 will be comprised of those with ACC, and Cohort 2 will include patients with non-ACC SGC (or all other salivary gland cancer histologies). Treatment will continue until progression of disease, death, or discontinuation of therapy for any reason.

The purpose of the study is to conduct research of a new PET radiopharmaceutical in cancer patients. The uptake of the novel radiopharmaceutical 18F-FPPRGD2 will be assessed in study participants with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), gynecological cancers, and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) who are receiving antiangiogenesis treatment.

This randomized pilot clinical trial studies whether acetylcysteine oral rinse will lessen saliva thickness and painful mouth sores in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing radiation therapy. Side effects from radiation therapy to the head and neck, such as thickened saliva and mouth sores, may interfere with activities of daily living such as eating and drinking, and may also cause treatment to be stopped or delayed. Acetylcysteine rinse may reduce saliva thickness and mouth sores, and improve quality of life in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing radiation therapy.

Bevacizumab may reduce CNS side effects caused by radiation therapy. This randomized phase II trial is studying how well bevacizumab works in reducing CNS side effects in patients who have undergone radiation therapy to the brain for primary brain tumor, meningioma, or head and neck cancer.

This pilot clinical trial studies L-lysine in treating oral mucositis in patients undergoing radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy for head and neck cancer. L-lysine may lessen the severity of oral mucositis, or mouth sores in patients receiving radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy for head and neck cancer

This is a prospective, open-label, randomized controlled clinical intervention study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) in treating patients with recurrent metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma of the head and neck.

The ACCEPT (A(denoid) c(ystic) c(arcinoma), E(rbitux, and) p(article) t(herapy))-trial is a prospective, monocentric phase I/II feasibility trial evaluating toxicity and efficacy in the combined treatment of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and carbon ion (C12) boost with the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibody cetuximab. The primary objective of the study is to explore the toxicity of the combined modality regimen consisting of heavy ion therapy / IMRT and EGFR antibody immunotherapy, by assessing the rate of patients with mucositis or any other toxicity of severity grade 3 or 4 according to NCI CTCAE V. 4. Secondary endpoints include local control, distant control, overall disease-free survival, overall survival

This is a non-randomized, phase II, open label study of Apatinib Mesylate in patients with Head and neck recurrent/metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC). The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Apatinib Mesylate in patients with ACC.
