Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Adenoid Cystic"

This study is to collect and validate regulatory-grade real-world data (RWD) in oncology using the novel, Master Observational Trial construct. This data can be then used in real-world evidence (RWE) generation. It will also create reusable infrastructure to allow creation or affiliation with many additional RWD/RWE efforts both prospective and retrospective in nature.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) is a rare salivary gland malignant tumor that accounts for approximately 1-3% of all head and neck cancers. AdCC is often charaterised by a long natural history with a propensity for indolent but relentless growth and dissemination. Local recurrences and late distant metastases are common findings in about 35% of the patients and associated with a poor prognosis1. AdCC is among the most lethal salivary gland tumors2 with no proven therapy for metastatic disease. Little is known about endogenous immune response directed against AdCC. However, in a relatively large series of 28 AdCC tumor, the immune profiling has shown in most tumors high and frequent programmed death ligand 2 (PD-L2) expression and PD-L1 was generally not expressed on tumor and infiltrating cells3. The Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs) are emerging as a novel therapeutic option in cancer treatment that looks promising for solid tumors. An experimental CD205/Ly75-directed ADC, OBT076 induce potent cytotoxic and antitumor activity. Recently, the combination of immunohistochemistry (IHC) and tissue micro array (TMA) was performed in a series of 46 AdCC, showing a unique profile with both frequent and high expression of CD205/Ly75, much higher than for other solid tumors. In a phase I study, OBT076 demonstrated promising results for 3 patients with 2 partial responses and 1 complete response for a gastric cancer4. In this last patient, analysis showed an increase in PD1+, CD4+ and CD8+ cells suggesting that OBT076 activates the patient's immune response against the tumor, especially PD-1 targeted therapies4. Based on this rational and on the high level of expression of CD205/Ly75 in AdCC, the hypothesis tested in this study is that OBT076 could be a potential effective treatment for R/M AdCC, which is an orphan lethal disease. The efficacy of OBT076 will be tested either alone or followed by an anti PD-1 inhibitor (Balstilimab) with the hypothesis that OBT076 will induce immune infiltrate that could restore sentivity to PD-1 targeting.

This is a phase I/II, non randomized, open-label, dose escalation study to investigate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of CB-103.

RATIONALE: Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is a less invasive type of surgery for head and neck cancer and may have fewer side effects and improve recovery. PURPOSE: This clinical trial studies how transoral robotic surgery works in treating patients with benign or stage I-IV head and neck cancer.

The goal of this study is to start treatment with the NOTCH1 inhibitor brontictuzumab in an attempt to control tumors and prolong survival. The therapy involves participant being given the drug brontictuzumab to treat adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) with NOTCH 1 mutations. This is considered an investigational treatment.

The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, a new treatment called axitinib has on the patient and adenoid cystic carcinoma. This type of cancer study is called a phase II study. Axitinib is an oral medication that can interfere with cancer cell growth and reduce the growth of blood vessels around tumors. This study will help find out if axitinib is a useful drug for treating patients with adenoid cystic carcinomas. Axitinib is an experimental drug that has not yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in adenoid cystic carcinoma.

This phase II trial studies how well Akt inhibitor MK2206 works in treating patients with progressive, recurrent, or metastatic adenoid cyst carcinoma (cancer). Akt inhibitor MK2206 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of photodynamic therapy using HPPH in treating patients who are undergoing surgery for primary or recurrent head and neck cancer. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) uses a drug, such as HPPH, that becomes active when it is exposed to a certain kind of light. When the drug is active, tumor cells are killed. Giving photodynamic therapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.

This is a phase II study to evaluate the effectiveness of study drug sunitinib malate in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic adenoid cystic carcinomas of the salivary gland. There currently is not standard of care for this type of cancer and it has hoped that sunitinib will have antitumor effects on patients with this type of cancer.

This phase II trial is studying how well dasatinib works in treating patients with malignant salivary gland tumors that have come back after treatment or have spread to other parts of the body. Dasatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
