Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

This phase II trial studies the effects of combination therapy with bevacizumab, erlotinib, and atezolizumab in treating patients with hereditary leiomyomatosis and kidney cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Bevacizumab is in a class of medications called antiangiogenic agents. They work by stopping the formation of blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to tumors. This may slow the growth and spread of tumors. Erlotinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of a protein called EGFR that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of cancer cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Combination therapy with bevacizumab, erlotinib, and atezolizumab may stabilize or shrink advanced hereditary leiomyomatosis and kidney cancer.

Percutaneous ablation (PA) is the only non-surgical curative treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Due to its excellent tolerance, particularly in patients with portal hypertension or bearing comorbidities, it now represents in France nearly 70% of the first-line curative treatment of "in Milan" tumours. For HCC less than 3 cm, ideal indication for percutaneous ablations, results of monopolar radiofrequency ablation (mRFA), are excellent with only 5% of reported non-tumoral control after a first procedure. In addition to mRFA the arsenal of ablations has grown considerably with the emergence of new techniques which allow the expansion of indications for PA, especially in patients with poor prognostic tumors or relatively advanced beyond the Milan criteria. In this setting, multibipolar mode using no touch technique (mbpRFAnt) increases the tumour volume than can be ablated, allowing the removal of large tumors> 5 cm. Inadequate tumour control is then de facto greater in these situations, around 20%. Difficult-to-access tumors can furthermore be treated by percutaneous irreversible electrotroporation (IRE). Despite a tumor burden accessible for curative ablation, a phenotype of "aggressive" HCC characterized by high rates of local recurrences is yet to be defined. Up to now, several characteristics might define this subtype with a poor-prognosis and include 1) high serum alpha-foetoprotein (AFP) levels, 2) radiological infiltrative form, and 3) histological macrotrabecular subtype. Based on these characteristics, median recurrence-free survival of these patients is usually below 10 months. High serum AFP level is a well-known predictor of HCC recurrence following curative procedure. In patients treated by percutaneous ablation, regardless of the technique used and irrespective of tumor burden, high baseline serum AFP level has tenaciously been reported as an independent predictor or recurrence.. More recently, the radiological description of infiltrative HCC (as opposed to mass-forming) has been identified as an aggressive from of HCC with a poor prognosis even when eligible for ablation. This aspect is often associated with infra-clinical invasion of the portal veins (PV), leading to poor prognosis. Finally, a "massive macrotrabecular" (MTM) histological subtype of HCC associated with specific molecular features has recently been described. This MTM-HCC subtype, reliably observed in 12% of patients eligible for curative treatment, represents an aggressive form of HCC is an independent predictor of early and overall recurrence following PA, which is retained even after patient stratification according to common clinical, biological, and pathological features of aggressiveness. The idea of optimizing HCC curative treatments using adjuvant biotherapy, particularly in patients with poor-prognosis tumors in curative intent, is particularly attractive. One trial in adjuvant setting was conducted, the STORM trial, that tested the benefit of sorafenib in curative intent of in Milan HCC. This negative trial included patients within Milan HCC, with an expected low rate of recurrence with only few patients treated by PA. Lenvatinib is a multikinase inhibitor which has been recently approved as firs-line therapy for advanced HCC. The investigators assume that lenvatinib could have also a synergistic local action with PA in two ways. First, given as neoadjuvant regimen, lenvatinib by reducing tumor and liver perfusion could decrease the global heat sink effect associated with loco-regional blood microcirculation during PA. Second, by carrying on in adjuvant treatment, lenvatinib could decrease the magnitude of non-specific inflammatory angiogenesis around the treatment zone, therefore reducing the risk of locoregional (intrasegmental) cells tumor spreading or promotion. Given the dismall prognosis of the aforementioned poor-prognosis HCC eligible for PA with an overall median recurrence-free survival below 10 months, the investigators hypothesis is that addition of Lenvatinib as neo- and adjuvant therapy might increase tumour control in these difficult-to-treat patients. Patients combining either high serum AFP levels, infiltrative form or MTM-HCC histological subtype represent 30% of BCLC A stage HCC patients in expert centers, and are the ideal candidates for such trials. Therefore, the first aim of this proposal is to assess the benefit of lenvatinib in neo- and adjuvant setting combined with curative percutaneous ablation for BCLC A HCC patients considered at high risk of local recurrence (high AFP or infiltrative form or macrotrabecular massive subtype).

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of HFB200301 as a single agent and in combination with tislelizumab in patients with advanced cancers. There are two parts in this study. During the escalation part, groups of participants will receive increasing doses of HFB200301 as a monotherapy or in combination with tislelizumab until a safe and tolerable dose of HFB200301 as a single agent or combination therapy is determined. During the expansion part, participants will take the dose of HFB200301 as a monotherapy or in combination with tislelizumab that was determined from the escalation part of the study and will be assigned to a group based on the type of cancer the participants have.

A Phase 1, open label, dose escalation and expanded cohort study of P-MUC1C-ALLO1 in adult subjects with advanced or metastatic epithelial derived solid tumors, including but not limited to the tumor types listed below.

Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma with PVTT can benefit from surgical resection and radiotherapy. As the rapid development of systematic treatment in hepatocellular carcinoma, ICIs neoadjuvant therapy is being actively explored .But there is no evidence to prove the safety and efficacy of lenvatinib and anti-PD1 antibody combined with radiotherapy neoadjuvant treatment for resectable hepatocellular carcinoma with PVTT. This study intends to supplement the evidence of benefit in such patients.

To test the effect of intravenous paclitaxel plus intraperitoneal cisplatin for neo-adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with advanced ovarian cancer, the investigators conducted a phase III single arm clinical trial. Included patients will receive interval debulking surgery after 2-6 cycles neoadjuvant chemotherapy based on the clinical judgment of the gynecologic oncologist. Six cycles of chemotherapy will conducted after surgery. And the neoadjuvant chemotherapy is as follows: paclitaxel 135 mg/m2 i.v. and cisplatin 75 mg/m2 i.p. on day 1. The primary end point is optimal debulking rates. the investigators also will evaluate effect on parameters of volume of ascites, tumor size, duration of surgery, hemorrhage, hospitalizations and postoperative complication etc. After comparing with data published online, the investigators will try to find out if paclitaxel i.v. plus cisplatin i.p. is a superior neoadjuvant chemotherapy for advanced ovarian carcinoma.

This phase II trial investigates how well pembrolizumab and carboplatin work in treating patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has come back (recurrent). 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 carboplatin, 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 together with carboplatin may work better in treating patients with recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.

This is a single-arm phase II clinical trial to evaluate the initial efficacy and safety of Sintilimab injection combined with Inlyta in fumarate hydratase-deficient renal cell carcinoma.

This is a first-in-human, open-label, multi-center, Phase 1/2, dose-escalation study with expansion cohorts to evaluate NM21-1480 for safety and immunogenicity, to determine the maximal tolerated dose and recommended Phase 2 dose, define the pharmacokinetics, to explore the pharmacodynamics, and to obtain preliminary evidence of the clinical activity in adult patients with selected advanced solid tumors.

This trial will look at a drug called SGN-B6A alone and with pembrolizumab, with or without chemotherapy, to find out whether it is safe for people who have solid tumors. It will study SGN-B6A to find out what its side effects are. A side effect is anything the drug does besides treating cancer. It will also study whether SGN-B6A works to treat solid tumors. The study will have four parts. Part A of the study will find out how much SGN-B6A should be given to participants. Part B will use the dose found in Part A to find out how safe SGN-B6A is and if it works to treat solid tumors. Part C of the study will find out how safe SGN-B6A is in combination with these other drugs. Part D will include people who have not received treatment. This part of the study will find out how safe SGN-B6A is in combination with these other drugs and if these combinations work to treat solid tumors. In Parts C and D, participants will receive SGN-B6A with either: Pembrolizumab or, Pembrolizumab and carboplatin, or Pembrolizumab and cisplatin.
