Lung Non-Small Cell CarcinomaLung Non-Small Cell Squamous Carcinoma4 more

This phase III ALCHEMIST trial tests the addition of pembrolizumab to usual chemotherapy for the treatment of stage IIA, IIB, IIIA or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer that has been removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin, pemetrexed, carboplatin, gemcitabine hydrochloride, and paclitaxel, 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 pembrolizumab with usual chemotherapy may help increase survival times in patients with stage IIA, IIB, IIIA or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer.

MelanomaNon-small Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC)14 more

This is an open-label, historically controlled pilot study investigating the immune effect of Laser Interstitial ThermotHerapy (LITT)+ pembrolizumab in adult patients with a primary cancer approved by the FDA for treatment with an immune-checkpoint inhibitor who have recurrent brain metastasis after prior stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).

Combination of Toripalimab and Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy for Locally Advanced Esophageal Squamous...

Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Radical resection is thought to be the mainstay of esophageal cancer treatment. Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by surgery has become the standard treatment option for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC). However, only 20% to 40% of patients can achieve pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant CRT with favorable prognosis and about 10% of patients have disease progression after chemoradiotherapy. How to improve the the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy is an important clinical problem to be solved. Immunotherapy targeting the programmed cell death receptor-1(PD-1) /programmed cell death-Ligand 1(PD-L1) checkpoints has demonstrated promising activity in ESCC. In Keynote181 study, for patients with metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, regardless of PD-L1 expression, pembrolizumab significantly improved overall survival compared with chemotherapy. However, the efficacy and safety of immunotherapy therapy in surgery-based multidisciplinary treatment of local advanced esophageal cancer still need a lot of clinical studies to further confirm. This study aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of Toripalimab combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy in neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Induction and Maintenance Treatment With PARP Inhibitor and Immunotherapy in HPV-negative HNSCC...

Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

We propose a window of opportunity trial to evaluate safety and efficacy of a short course of the study combination, composed by an Anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody (Dostarlimab (TSR-042)) and a PARPi (Niraparib). The study population will be surgically resectable, HPV-negative (defined by p16 negative status) locally advanced HNSCC. Maintenance treatment will be then delivered, so to better integrate the therapeutic benefits of this drug combination. Response to neoadjuvant treatment will be evaluated by the rate of major pathologic response, morphologic, and functional imaging (MRI with functional evaluation -DWI). We anticipate that neoadjuvant and maintenance PARPi plus immunotherapy treatment could lead to a reduction of loco-regional recurrence (LRR) and distant metastasis (DM) rates in such a high-risk population. Furthermore, the window of opportunity portion of this trial will allow in vivo acquisition of valuable knowledge on mechanisms of action and primary resistance to Anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody and PARPi in HNSCC. In this phase of the study, biological specimens will be collected (pre-treatment tumor biopsy, tissues from the surgical specimen, liquid biopsy, blood and saliva samples) as well as functional imaging (MRI).

Combination of Nimotuzumab and Radiotherapy for Recurrent Uterine Cervical Squamous Carcinoma

Recurrent Cervical CarcinomaRadiotherapy5 more

Patients with recurrent or metastatic uterine cervical squamous carcinoma have very poor prognosis. For eligible patients, radiotherapy remains the choice, which has the most effective impact on the survival periods. On the hand, anti-angiogenic therapy has been proved to be promising treatment for recurrent or advanced cervical carcinomas. This study aims to discover the objective response of combination therapy with nimotuzumab (an anti-epidermal growth factor receptor [EGFR] IgG1 humanized monoclonal antibody) and radiotherapy in recurrent or metastatic uterine cervical squamous carcinoma in a single-arm, open, phase 2 clinical trial. The primary endpoint is the objective response rate evaluated by imaging methods. The second endpoints are the progression-free survival and overall survival. The treatment toxicity is regarded as one the second endpoint.

Neoadjuvant Sintilimab in Combination With Carboplatin and Nab-paclitaxel in Resectable Oral Cavity...

Oral Squamous Cell CarcinomaOropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

The purpose of this study is to look at the efficacy and safety of sintilimab in combination with carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel in patients with oral cavity or oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma who are about to undergo surgery. Monoclonal antibodies, such as sintilimab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel, 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 sintilimab, carboplatin, and nab-paclitaxel may work better in treating patients with oral cavity and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

Lower-Dose Chemoradiation in Treating Patients With Early-Stage Anal Cancer, the DECREASE Study...

Anal Basaloid CarcinomaAnal Canal Cloacogenic Carcinoma4 more

This phase II trial studies how well lower-dose chemotherapy plus radiation (chemoradiation) therapy works in comparison to standard-dose chemoradiation in treating patients with early-stage anal cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as mitomycin, fluorouracil, and capecitabine, 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. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. This study may help doctors find out if lower-dose chemoradiation is as effective and has fewer side effects than standard-dose chemoradiation, which is the usual approach for treatment of this cancer type.
