Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

Pembrolizumab is a type of immunotherapy, and the purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, pembrolizumab has on you, and your cancer.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of Galunisertib when given together with paclitaxel in treating patients with androgen receptor negative or triple negative breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Some tumors need growth factors, which are made by the body's white blood cells, to keep growing. Galunisertib may interfere with growth factors and help cause tumor cells to die. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as 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 Galunisertib together with paclitaxel may kill more tumor cells.

Cisplatin and Etoposide is the standard of care in NEC originating from the gastro-intestinal tract and lung, based on retrospective studies. Nevertheless the prognosis of this group of patients is still poor with median survival of less than 20 months. Everolimus is an mammilian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor that has been demonstrated to be active in patients with well and moderately differentiated primitive neuroectodermal tumor (pNET). Recently, the Investigators demonstrated that the mammilian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway is overexpressed in NEC. Based on the activity of Everolimus in the treatment of patients with well and moderately differentiated p-NET and on the evidence that even poorly differentiated forms express the pathway of m-TOR is conceivable that Everolimus could be active even in NEC.

The investigators hypothesize that the dual inhibition of mTORC1/mTORC2 by AZD2014 combined with inhibition of aromatase enzyme by anastrozole will act synergistically and may be an interesting therapeutic option for endometrial cancer with a manageable toxicity profile. The investigators proposal is to conduct a multicenter, 2-step, randomized, Phase I/II trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a combination treatment associating anastrozole to AZD2014 in advanced endometrial cancer patients. The study is divided in 2 steps : A safety run-in phase aiming to evaluate the safety of the proposed combination AZD2014 + anastrozole (Arm A) versus anastrozole alone (Arm B). No dose escalation is scheduled (doses are based on maximum tolerated dose (MTD) defined for AZD2014 and the summary of product characteristics (SPC) of anastrozole). However, dose de-escalation for AZD2014 will be applied in case of toxicity. A two-stage randomized Phase II part aiming to evaluate the clinical benefit of the AZD2014 + anastrozole (Arm A) combination therapy versus anastrozole (Arm B).

This phase II trial studies how well atezolizumab, cobimetinib, and eribulin work in treating patients with inflammatory breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). 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. Cobimetinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as eribulin, 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 atezolizumab, cobimetinib, and eribulin may work better in treating patients with inflammatory breast cancer.

This randomized phase II trial studies how well cisplatin works with or without veliparib in treating patients with triple-negative breast cancer and/or BRCA mutation-associated breast cancer that has come back (recurrent) or has or has not spread to the brain (brain metastases). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, 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. PARPs are proteins that help repair DNA mutations. PARP inhibitors, such as veliparib, can keep PARP from working, so tumor cells can't repair themselves, and they may stop growing. It is not yet known if cisplatin is more effective with or without veliparib in treating patients with triple-negative and/or BRCA mutation-associated breast cancer.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of M6620 and irinotecan hydrochloride in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). M6620 and irinotecan hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of osimertinib and navitoclax when given together and to see how well they work in treating patients with previously treated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-positive non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or has not responded to previous treatment with initial EGFR kinase inhibitor. Osimertinib and navitoclax may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This phase II trial studies how well nab-paclitaxel and atezolizumab before surgery work in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer (breast cancer cells that do not have estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, or large amounts of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 protein). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as 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. 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. Giving nab-paclitaxel and atezolizumab before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. This drug combination before surgery may be an effective treatment for triple negative breast cancer.

This phase II trial studies how well danvatirsen and durvalumab work in treating patients with pancreatic cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and mismatch repair deficient colorectal cancer that has spread to other places in the body and does not respond to treatment. Danvatirsen may be used to block the production of proteins needed for tumor cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving danvatirsen and durvalumab may work better at treating pancreatic cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and mismatch repair deficient colorectal cancer.
