Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

The purpose of this trial is to examine the role of camrezlizumab in addition to carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT) for patients with locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma. According to the plan, a total of 146 patients will be recruited and randomized into: 1) CIRT alone group (control group); 2) CIRT plus camrelizumab group (experimental group).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and safety of target therapy according to genomic and proteomic profiling combined with GEMOX in recectable gallbladder carcinoma patients monitored by ctDNA.

This project will evaluate the expression of a receptor called podoplanin (PDPN) in cells from oral cancers and precancerous lesions. We will also determine how sensitive oral cancer cells are to a potential drug called Maackia amurensis seed lectin (MASL).

This phase II trial studies how well radiation therapy works for the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer that are spreading to other places in the body (metastatic). Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. This trial is being done to determine if giving radiation therapy to patients who are being treated with immunotherapy and whose cancers are progressing (getting worse) can slow or stop the growth of their cancers. It may also help researchers determine if giving radiation therapy to one tumor can stimulate the immune system to attack other tumors in the body that are not targeted by the radiation therapy.

This is a non-randomized Phase 2 study of sacituzumab govitecan (IMMU-132) in subjects with persistent or recurrent endometrial carcinoma.

Randomized phase II study of immune stimulation with Pembrolizumab and radiotherapy in second line therapy of metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

This phase I trial studies the sides effects and best dose of pembrolizumab in treating participants with thymoma or thymic cancer that cannot be 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.

Background: Pancreatic Acinar Cell Carcinoma (PACC) is a rare pancreatic tumor. People with PACC usually present with advanced disease, and their prognosis is poor. Researchers want to learn if a cancer drug called olaparib can help. Objective: To see if olaparib is an effective treatment for PACC. Eligibility: People aged 18 and older with PACC whose cancer did not respond to previous treatments or is not eligible for surgery. Design: Participants will be screened with the following: Medical history Physical exam Blood and urine tests Electrocardiogram (to test heart function) Computed tomography (CT) scans Pregnancy test (if needed) Tumor biopsy (if a sample is not available) Treatment will be given in 21-day cycles. Participants will take olaparib by mouth twice daily for each cycle. They will keep a medicine diary. They will receive treatment for up to 2 years. They may stop treatment early if their cancer gets worse or they have serious side effects. Participants will have study visits at the beginning of each cycle. At visits, they will repeat some screening tests. They will be asked about any changes in medicines they are taking and how they are feeling. They will have CT scans every 8 weeks starting in cycle 2. Participants will give blood samples for research. They may have optional tumor biopsies. Participants will have 2 follow-up visits in the 30 days after treatment ends or before they begin a new anti-cancer treatment. Then they will be contacted every 3 months by phone for 1 year. Participation will last for up to 3 years.

This is a Phase III, open-label, multicenter, randomized, two-arm study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab plus either lenvatinib or sorafenib versus lenvatinib or sorafenib alone in participants with locally advanced or metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) who have progressed on prior systemic treatment with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab combination.

This phase II trial studies the effect of selpercatinib given before surgery in treating patients with thyroid cancer whose tumors have RET alterations (changes in the genetic material [deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)]). Selpercatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving selpercatinib before surgery may help shrink the tumors and help control the disease.
