Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Squamous Cell"

Anal cancer can be prevented through detection and treatment of a recognised precancerous lesion, known as anal intra-epithelial neoplasia (AIN), specifically the anal high-grade squamous intra-epithelial lesion (aHSIL) subtype. Assessment of changes in disease burden is an important feature in the clinical evaluation of a treatment. Existing trials in aHSIL have predominantly used disease response outcomes based on histological and cytological changes to measure the effects of treatment. Several limitations to this approach have been identified. Lesion characteristics such as lesion size and number represent potential indicators of disease response to treatment and might overcome some of the limitations. We aim to develop a disease measurement instrument capable of describing disease burden such that it can be used to evaluate disease response to treatment in addition to histological and cytological based measurements further strengthening the quality of disease response outcomes. The disease measurement instrument will be developed over 4 stages: A meeting of AIN experts to determine a longlist of lesion measurement items capable of capturing disease burden; A series of disease assessments will be undertaken in participants known to have aHSIL to assess disease burden using the measurement items identified in stage 1; Data analysis to determine the best performing measurement items and comprise a disease measurement instrument; Pilot-testing of the proposed disease measurement instrument. Two trained disease assessors (experienced clinicians familiar with the assessment of anal intraepithelial lesions) will assess disease burden per participant. Disease burden will also be captured photographically. We will undertake disease assessments on 20-30 participants. By analysing the results of the clinician assessments and digital analysis of the photographic representation of disease burden, we will be able to determine the most acceptable, feasible, reliable and reproducible ways of measuring disease burden and use these to inform a disease measurement instrument.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Nimotuzumab combined with IMRT in elder patients with locally advanced cervical squamous cell carcinoma

Evaluation of the efficacy of the accelerated radiotherapy in squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck

This phase I trial studies the side effects of image-guided hyper-fractioned proton therapy in treating patients with head and neck cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) and cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Radiation therapy uses high energy protons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. The change in dose radiation frequency and dose investigated in this study may help to better control the tumor and prevent it from coming back or growing. The goal of this study is to test a new radiation schedule that administers more radiation to the tumor tissue using image guided proton therapy for patients that have a high risk of having a tumor recurrence (the tumor comes back after treatment).

This study is to determine the safety of IRX-2 Regimen combined with Nivolumab in patients with recurrent metastatic solid tumors. Researchers believe that this combination will have a tolerable safety profile and will increase the response rate in comparison to Nivolumab alone.

This is a randomized, double-blind multi-center, phase III study comparing the efficacy and safety of sintilimab or placebo in combination with chemotherapy as first-line treatment in subjects with unresectable, locally advanced recurrent or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. After the interim analysis conducted by the iDMC, an open-label assignment of experimental arm therapy will continue in regions outside of China, in order to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of sintilimab in combination with chemotherapy in subjects representing the western population with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

FT500 is an off-the-shelf, iPSC-derived NK cell product that can bridge innate and adaptive immunity, and has the potential to overcome multiple mechanisms of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) resistance. The preclinical data provide compelling evidence supporting the clinical investigation of FT500 as monotherapy and in combination with ICI in participants with advanced solid tumors.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of INCMGA00012 in participants with locally advanced or metastatic squamous carcinoma of the anal canal (SCAC) who have progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy.

This open-label, multicenter study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of MEHD7945A in combination with chemotherapy (either cisplatin plus 5-FU or carboplatin plus paclitaxel) in participants with previously untreated R/M SCCHN. There are two stages for each arm in this study: a Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT)-evaluation stage (Stage I) and a cohort-expansion stage (Stage II). In Stage I, DLTs will be assessed during a DLT Assessment Window of 21 days (i.e., Cycle 1 Day 1 through Cycle 1 Day 21) for both arms. In Stage II, participants will be enrolled to further characterize the safety, pharmacokinetics, and anti-tumor activity of MEHD7945A in combination with cisplatin + 5-FU or carboplatin + paclitaxel at the identified recommended Phase II dose.

This is a phase II study of preoperative chemotherapy with docetaxel, cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil (TPF) in locally advanced resectable oral cavity squamous cell cancer. The aim is to improve the rate of pathological complete response to induction chemotherapy in a molecular enriched population, consisting of patients with tumour harbouring a functional p53 protein and/or showing low expression of beta-tubulin II.
