Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

This phase II trial tests how well nivolumab in combination with chemotherapy drugs along with radiation therapy works in treating patients with nasopharyngeal cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, 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 gemcitabine and 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. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Researchers want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, adding nivolumab to chemotherapy has on patients with newly diagnosed NPC. In addition, they want to find out if children with NPC may be treated with less radiation therapy and whether this decreases the side effects of therapy.

This is a single-center, prospective, single-arm, phase II clinical study, with the purpose to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of envafolimab combined with chemoradiotherapy and recombinant human endostatin in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

The investigators aim to evaluate the survival benefit from triple combination of induction, concurrent and aduvant chemotherapy versus concurrent chemotherapy alone for high risk locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy.

Prospective multicentre assay to assess ctDNA value for ovarian cancer monitoring and disease recurrence after front-line treatment.

The study aims to compare efficacy and adverse reactions of hepatocellular carcinoma participants (≤5cm) who receive stereotactic body radiation therapy with or without transcatheter arterial chemoembolization.The investigators will optimize the combined treatment schedule of SBRT for hepatocellular carcinoma participants by comparing overall survival rates, progression-free survival rates and local control and adverse reaction occurrence rates in the two groups.

This trial studies how well dyadic yoga intervention works in improving physical performance and quality of life in patients with stage I-IV non-small cell lung or esophageal cancer undergoing radiotherapy and their caregivers. Dyadic yoga intervention may help to improve physical function, fatigue, sleep difficulties, depressive symptoms, and overall quality of life for patients with non-small cell lung cancer and/or their caregivers.

The goals of this prospective, observational cohort study are to determine the feasibility of implementing paclitaxel therapeutic drug monitoring for cancer patients and explore the relationship between paclitaxel drug exposure and the development of neuropathic symptoms. This trial studies if paclitaxel can be consistently measured in the blood of patients with solid tumors undergoing paclitaxel treatment. 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. Nerve damage is one of the most common and severe side effects of paclitaxel. The ability to consistently measure paclitaxel in the blood may allow doctors to control the dose of paclitaxel, so that enough chemotherapy is given to kill the cancer, but the side effect of nerve damage is reduced.

The purpose of this registry study is to gather effectiveness, QoL, safety and procedural information on TheraSphere® for the treatment of participants with Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC), Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma (iCC) and liver metastases for colon cancer (mCRC) in real world clinical practice settings in France.

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a blood-based test that measures dying or dead cancer cells that are already circulating in the blood. In this study, the investigators will enroll patients who are planning to receive surgery to remove their head and neck cancer. The investigators are interested to learn how ctDNA levels change with surgery and over the course of time. The investigators also want to determine if there are certain features of the tumor or the patient themselves that might cause ctDNA to be higher than other patients. Also, the investigators want to explore if the detection of ctDNA following surgery is related to cancer recurrence.

This is Phase 2, open label, non randomized single arm study to determine whether the administration of vactosertib with durvalumab will provide meaningful increases in the Overall Response Rate (ORR) in patients with urothelial cancers that fail to achieve a response with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 based regimens
