Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

To Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Preliminary Efficacy of EU307, Autologous Glypican 3 (GPC3) Targeted Chimeric Antigen Receptor T cell therapy in Patients with GPC3 Positive Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma who Have Failed Standard Therapy

This is a two-center open-label non-randomized proof of principle study consisting of a dose-finding part (phase I) and phase II study with Simon two-stage design investigating the anti-tumor activity of the combination of capecitabine and galunisertib in patients with colorectal cancer with peritoneal metastases.

This study is being done to analyze the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of treatment using combination of SAM and anti-PD-1/PDL1 antibodies for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.

This study aims to evaluate the impact of non-invasive CT-based Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient (HVPG) assessment on prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients treated with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE).

This is a multicenter, randomized, controlled, phase II study.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and hepatic resection are main treatments for early stage hepatocellular carcinoma. Many randomized controlled trials found these two treatments have similar short term overall survival. However, hepatic resection is associated with higher long-term overall survival. These results reveal that tumor recurrence rate after RFA is higher than that after hepatic resection. And minimal residual tumor may exist after RFA. Radiotherapy after RFA may be effective to prevent early tumor recurrence.

The study evaluates the protective effect of low-dose aspirin use as adjuvant therapy on locally advanced renal cell carcinoma in users and non-users of aspirin in Renji Hospital, Shanghai, China.

Clinical guidelines (AASLD) recommend the use of abdominal ultrasound (US) for surveillance testing for the early detection of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). The serum protein biomarker alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is commonly used to augment US but its use alone is not recommended by clinical guidelines. Despite evidence that HCC surveillance improves early detection and reduces mortality from HCC, current HCC surveillance tests lack sensitivity, leaving a significant proportion of patients to present with late-stage disease. The Glycotest HCC Panel has shown better sensitivity than AFP, which is ineffective for the detection of early-stage HCC. This clinical study seeks to validate the Glycotest HCC Panel using a large multicenter cohort of cases and controls that includes patients diagnosed with early-stage HCC against a background of cirrhosis and cirrhotic patients without HCC (at risk) undergoing an established surveillance protocol.

This pilot clinical trial studies different types of energy balance interventions to see how well they work in increasing the physical activity levels of breast cancer gene-positive patients, Lynch syndrome-positive patients, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) survivors or family members of cancer survivors who are at high risk for cancer. Increasing exercise and eating healthy foods may help reduce the risk of cancer. Studying how well different types of interventions work in motivating cancer survivors or high-risk family members to increase exercise and healthy food choices may help doctors plan the most effective motivational program for cancer prevention.

The aim of this study is to identify biomarkers of disease recurrence and prognosis to optimize patient selection for treatment with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), and through animal models to explore different treatment strategies for peritoneal surface malignancies (PSM).
