Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

The study will determine if calcipotriene and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) creams when combined can treat SCCIS and superficially invasive SCC (but not deeply invasive or high-risk cutaneous SCC). 30 Patients will be divided into a 7 day treatment group (n=10), a 14 day treatment group (n=10), and a placebo group (n=10, divided into 7 and 14 days evenly). Following treatment with the topical chemotherapeutic medication, tumors would be completely excised according to standard of care, and specimens would be sent to pathology to determine if there was residual tumor/margin clearance. The potential benefit of this intervention would be the establishment of a non-invasive treatment that leads to minimal to no scarring or complications (akin to topical 5-FU alone) but would require a much shorter and more tolerable treatment duration (1-2 weeks) compared to available alternatives.

In this study, single cell transcriptome sequencing will be performed on the tissue samples punctured and the surgically resected specimens to explore the gene mutation sites related to efficacy

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled,parallel-group preliminary verifying study about safety and efficacy of maintenance DCVAC/OvCa after first-line chemotherapy added to standard of care in patients with newly diagnosed FIGO III-IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma.

The purpose of this study is to see how well the study drugs called Ipilimumab plus Nivolumab (IPI-NIVO) work when added to another study drug called Sacituzumab Govitecan for people who have metastatic bladder cancer.

This research is being conducted to understand if treatment can be tailored for participants with HPV-related oropharynx cancers using both clinical features (stage of the tumor, smoking status) combined with an investigational HPV blood test. The names of the test and treatments involved in this study are: NavDx® HPV ctDNA testing (HPV blood test) Radiation therapy Chemotherapy: Cisplatin, or Carboplatin and Paclitaxel (not all participants receive any or all of these agents)

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and recommended dose(s) of BMS-986340 as monotherapy and in combination with nivolumab or docetaxel in participants with advanced solid tumors. This study is a first-in-human (FIH) study of BMS-986340 in participants with advanced solid tumors.

This phase Ib/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of plinabulin in combination with radiation therapy and immunotherapy in patients with select cancers that have spread to other places in the body (advanced) after progression on PD-1 or PD-L1 targeted antibodies. Plinabulin blocks tumor growth by targeting both new and existing blood vessels going to the tumor as well as killing tumor cells. Immunotherapy may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving plinabulin in combination with radiation therapy and immunotherapy may work better in treating advanced cancers.

In this open-label, multicenter, Phase II study, the investigators propose to evaluate the efficacy of ruxolitinib, an orally administered inhibitor of JAK1/2, in solid organ transplant recipients with advanced cSCC. In a safety lead-in of 6 patients, subjects will receive ruxolitinib 15mg twice daily (BID). After 4 weeks, if dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) are observed in 1 or fewer patients, the study will enter stage 1 of the Simon two-stage design where all subsequent patients will receive a starting dose of ruxolitinib 15mg BID. If more than 1 DLTs are observed, another cohort of 6 patients will be treated at a dose of 10mg BID. If less than 2 DLTs are observed at the new dose of 10mg, then the study will proceed to stage I using this dose; otherwise the study will stop.

Patients suffering from advanced stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who have shown disease progression during lenvatinib-based first line treatment, will be enrolled in this trial. Patients who progressed either during lenvatinib monotherapy or lenvatinib-IO (immuno-oncology) combination therapy will be eligible for study participation, whereas at least 50% of the enrolled patients should be in favor of lenvatinib monotherapy.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections is known to be a high-risk factor to induce cervical cancers. To date, EBV-related nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is still a major concern in east Asia, especially in China. Concurrent therapies for NPC have limited response rate and high chance of relapse. However, EBV-induced cancers provided an ideal target for T cell-based immunotherapy due to the non-self origins. Engineered T cells bearing a TCR (TCR-T) that can specifically recognize the presented EBV-epitope become a viable approach to treat this type of cancer. Though engineered T therapies have been well-recognized in hematological cancers, solid cancer treatment has been a major hurdle due to the immune-suppressive tumor microenvironment. Cytokine seemed to represent the ideal candidate for tumor immunotherapy, due to its ability to activate both innate (NK cells) and adaptive immunities. therefore, TCR-T cells armed with a cytokine -secretion element could further enhance the efficacy of TCR-T in solid cancers.
