Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

Clinical research of Yang Yin Fu Zheng Jie Du therapy in HBV associated Hepatocellular Carcinoma based on the platelet count/splenic length-diameter ratio.The purpose of this study is to establish the efficacy evaluation system combined with platelet/splenic length-diameter ratio, and to clarify the effect of this method on relieving hepatitis B cirrhosis and delaying the progression of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Prospective clinical trial investigating combined, dual 18F-FDG PET/CT and 64Cu-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging of patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NEN)

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of gemcitabine hydrochloride and berzosertib when given together with carboplatin in treating patients with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has come back (recurrent) and has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Chemotherapy drugs, such as carboplatin and gemcitabine hydrochloride, 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. Berzosertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving berzosertib with chemotherapy (carboplatin and gemcitabine hydrochloride) may work better in treating patients with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer compared to chemotherapy alone.

This is a Phase I/II trial for safety and preliminary efficacy of the combination of axitinib and selenomethionine (SLM) for adult patients with advanced metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC). This will be a two part study consisting of a dose escalation and expansion study. In addition, a pilot group of 10 subjects will have SLM dose calculated based on patients' body surface area (BSA) to characterize the dose-concentration relationship and estimate the effective administered dose of selenium necessary to achieve the target blood concentration range informed by preclinical data.

Platinum-based chemotherapy is now regarded a standard first-line treatment for patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC). However, patients who failed to response or experienced progression after platinum-based chemotherapy have a grim prognosis and a standard salvage treatment is not available. UC is known to harbor multiple mutations. In the investigators' own high-throughput molecular profiling study, the most commonly observed mutations included TP53, FGFR3(fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 ) and HRAS. Since RAS signaling can be attenuated using selective farnesyl transferase (FTase) inhibitors, tipifarnib, a highly potent and selective inhibitor of FTase, was proposed to be an effective therapeutic approach in the treatment of UC.

French national multicentric phase III trial evaluating chemotherapy with Folfirinox or gemcitabine in locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma.

Single-arm, phase 2 study evaluating hypofractionated irradiation of breast and regional nodes in women with breast cancer. Patients will be grouped in 3 surgery-related treatment groups: 1) An intact breast following lumpectomy; 2) plans for loco regional external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) following mastectomy (with or without plans for reconstruction); and 3) plans for locoregional EBRT following mastectomy with reconstruction. Patients will be assessed for lymphedema, arm function, breast or chestwall pain, other EBRT-related adverse events, and, for patients who had a lumpectomy or mastectomy with reconstruction, cosmetic outcome.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of pembrolizumab when given together with chemoradiotherapy or radiation therapy in treating patients with small cell lung cancer. 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. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Giving chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more cancer cells. Giving pembrolizumab with chemoradiotherapy or radiation therapy may be a better treatment for small cell lung cancer.

This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab works in treating patients with stage IV inflammatory breast cancer or triple-negative breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or has come back (recurrent), and who have achieved clinical response or stable disease to prior chemotherapy. 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.

This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab works in treating patients with prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body and keeps growing even when the amount of testosterone in the body is reduced to very low levels despite previous treatment with enzalutamide. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may block tumor growth in different ways by targeting certain cells.
