Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Squamous Cell"

The primary objectives of the trial is to examine the toxicities and efficacies of afatinib and pembrolizumab for recurrent and/or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

The infections of high grade induced by the human papilloma viruses cause precancerous lesions of the cervical epithelium. The progression of these lesions can lead to the onset of cervical cancer. To reduce the risk of cancer lesions classified as 'cervical squamous intraepithelial neoplasia 2' (CIN2) and 'cervical squamous intraepithelial neoplasia 3' (CIN3), the standard treatment is the conisation of the cervix. This surgery can lead to complications such as infertility or a risk of preterm birth, hence the need to move towards a non-surgical alternative therapy. The colvir clinical trial was a phase-II, multi center, randomized, double blind, efficacy study of an aqueous gel containing 2% (w/w) cidofovir, administrated directly on cervix exhibiting high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (CIN 2 and 3). This clinical trial is a prolongation of the colvir trial, in order to assess the long term histological and virological evolution (24 months) of 3 g of 2% (w/w) cidofovir gel, administrated directly on cervix exhibiting high grade intraepithelial neoplasia after complete response, partial response or response failure at the end of the Colvir study. assess the long term (24 months) rate of recurrence of histological lesions of the Colvir patients after conisation, in both placebo and treatment groups.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by minimally invasive esophagectomy on patients with locally advanced resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(cT3-4aN0-1M0).

A small group of skin cancers of the head and neck, called resected cutaneous squamous carcinomas, are more aggressive than most cancers of this type, even after being treated with standard therapy. This trial will use stronger treatment to look at the safety and effectiveness (efficacy) of combining a drug called Pembrolizumab with radiation after a cancer has already been treated to suppress secondary tumor formation in high risk cutaneous squamous cell cancer of the head and neck. Primary Objective To assess safety by looking at the people with dose limiting responses

The purpose of this study is to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of A sintilimab plus chemotherapy followed by definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

This phase I trial studies the best dose and side effects of trigriluzole in combination with nivolumab and pembrolizumab in treating patients with solid malignancies or lymphoma that has spread to other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Trigriluzole may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving trigriluzole in combination with nivolumab and pembrolizumab may work better at treating patients with solid malignancies or lymphoma.

HPV-301 is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled Phase 3 study to determine the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of VGX-3100 administered by intramuscular (IM) injection followed by electroporation (EP) delivered with CELLECTRA™ 5PSP in adult women with histologically confirmed cervical high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 [CIN2] or grade 3 [CIN3]) associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 and/or HPV-18.

This is a non-randomized, phase II, open label study of apatinib mesylate tablets plus tegafur gimeracil oteracil potassium capsules induction chemotherapy in locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck patients who were judged surgically unresectable or appropriate for non-surgical definitive therapy.The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of apatinib mesylate tablets plus tegafur gimeracil oteracil potassium capsules in locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) to identify small oropharyngeal carcinomas. Findings from this study will be used to better determine which patients may be suitable for more targeted radiotherapy that would lead to a reduction in the total amount of radiotherapy needed as part of their treatment. Reducing the amount of radiotherapy received has been found to reduce the risk of late complications and toxicity to the patient.The pathologic findings will then be used to determine patients who may be candidates for de-intensification of radiotherapy.

The purpose of this research is to see whether metformin can improve the response rate in patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation for squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity, oropharynx, larynx or hypopharynx. The purpose of this research is also to see the effects, good and bad, of metformin therapy for this disease. Researchers will also analyze tumor and blood samples from study patients to test and understand the characteristics of tumors which respond to metformin.
