Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

This phase II trial studies how well olaparib with or without tremelimumab works in treating patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer that has come back (recurrent). PARPs are proteins that help repair DNA mutations. PARP inhibitors, such as olaparib, can keep PARP from working, so tumor cells can't repair themselves, and they may stop growing. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as tremelimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving olaparib and tremelimumab together may work better than olaparib alone in treating patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer.

To estimate the clinical benefit of cemiplimab monotherapy versus cemiplimab in combination with RP1 for patients with locally advanced or metastatic CSCC, as assessed by overall response rate (ORR) and complete response rate (CRR) according to blinded independent review.

A single-arm, open-label clinical trial to assess the effects and safety of anlotinib hydrochloride combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) patients at high risk of post surgery recurrence.

This randomized phase II trial studies how well abiraterone acetate and antiandrogen therapy, with or without cabazitaxel and prednisone, work in treating patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer previously treated with docetaxel that has spread to other parts of the body. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Hormone therapy using abiraterone acetate and antiandrogen therapy may fight prostate cancer by lowering and/or blocking the use of androgens by the tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cabazitaxel and prednisone, 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 abiraterone acetate and antiandrogen therapy with or without cabazitaxel and prednisone may help kill more tumor cells.

This phase II trial studies how well docetaxel with carboplatin followed by rucaparib camsylate works in treating patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (spread outside of prostate and resistant to testosterone suppression) with homologous recombination DNA repair deficiency. Chemotherapy drugs, such as docetaxel and carboplatin, work to stop the growth of cancer cells, by stopping them from dividing or spreading. Rucaparib camsylate may stop the growth of tumor cells with defects in the ability to repair mistakes in DNA by forcing additional errors so that the cancer cells cannot overcome the number of errors and will then die. Giving induction docetaxel and carboplatin followed by maintenance rucaparib camsylate may work better in treating patients with castration resistant prostate cancer.

Objectives: Primary: Safety and tolerability of therapy with daratumumab in a cohort of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma and a cohort of patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer. Secondary: 1A. To assess the proportion of patients who achieve pathological CR with daratumumab in patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer. 1B. To assess the objective response rate (ORR) to daratumumab in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. 2. To assess the progression free survival for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma receiving Daratumumab.

This is a non-randomized, open-label, multi-site phase II therapeutic trial of pembrolizumab and bavituximab in patients with locally advanced HCC. Locally advanced or metastatic HCC is defined as disease that is not amenable to surgical and/or locoregional therapies. Subjects must not have received prior systemic therapy for advanced HCC in keeping with the first-line setting of this study.

This phase II/III trial studies how well radiation therapy works with durvalumab or cetuximab in treating patients with head and neck cancer that has spread to a local and/or regional area of the body who cannot take cisplatin. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. 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. Cetuximab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not known if radiation therapy with durvalumab will work better than the usual therapy of radiation therapy with cetuximab in treating patients with head and neck cancer.

Meclizine hydrochloride is an antihistamine widely used for treatment of vertigo and motion sickness. In HCC it has been used for anti-emetic effects, but it is used here as a CAR (constitutive androstane receptor) inverse agonist. The hypothesis of this study is that Meclizine, CAR inverse agonist, will have beneficial therapeutic effect in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who are candidates for surgical resection, ablation, TACE, Y90 or systemic therapy by blocking tumorigenesis and inducing apoptosis. The effects of Meclizine will be analyzed by measuring messenger RNA level of CAR target genes CYP2B6, c-Myc and FoxM1, the downstream effectors of CAR, by real time quantitative PCR.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of alpelisib when given together with enzalutamide in treating patients with androgen receptor and PTEN positive breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Alpelisib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Androgen receptor can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using enzalutamide may fight breast cancer by lowering the amount of androgen the body makes. Giving alpelisib and enzalutamide may work better in treating patients with breast cancer.
