Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

This study evaluates the addition of Tenofovir and Entecavir in the treatment of Hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma after curative resection in adults. Half of participants will receive Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, while the other half will receive Entecavir.

This clinical trial will evaluate a new combination of pembrolizumab, HPV-16 E6/E7 specific therapeutic vaccination (ISA101b) and cisplatin-based chemoradiotherapy for patients with newly diagnosed, local-regionally advanced, intermediate risk HPV-associated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

This phase II trial studies how well standard of care hypofractionated radiation therapy followed by durvalumab with or without tremelimumab works in treating patients with hepatocellular cancer (liver cancer) that has spread to other places in the body (advanced) and that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressing) after treatment with PD-1 inhibitor immunotherapy. In some patients, cancer cells and immune cells start to express signals that stop the body's immune system from killing the cancer. New drugs being developed, such as durvalumab and tremelimumab, are designed to target and block these signals and may help increase the immune response to prevent or slow down cancer growth. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may help the immune system work even better. Giving durvalumab with or without tremelimumab after radiation therapy may work better than radiation therapy alone in treating patients with liver cancer.

This research is being done to see how well the combination of a standard of care drug, investigational drug, and radiation therapy work against unresectable vulvar squamous cell carcinoma. This research study involves the following: Cisplatin (standard of care drug) Pembrolizumab (investigational drug) Radiation Therapy (standard of care intervention)

This trial studies tucatinib to find out if it is safe when given with trastuzumab and other anti-cancer drugs (pembrolizumab, FOLFOX, and CAPOX). It will look at what side effects happen when participants take this combination of drugs. A side effect is anything the drug does other than treating cancer. It will also look at whether tucatinib works with these drugs to treat certain types of cancer. The participants in this trial have HER2-positive (HER2+) cancer in their gut, stomach, intestines, or gallbladder (gastrointestinal cancer).

This study is open to adults with small cell lung cancer and other neuroendocrine cancers that are positive for the tumour marker delta-like 3 (DLL3). The study is in people with advanced cancer for whom previous treatment was not successful or no standard treatment exists. The purpose of this study is to find out the highest dose of BI 764532 and the best treatment schedule that people can tolerate. BI 764532 is an antibody-like molecule (DLL3/CD3 bispecific) that may help the immune system fight cancer. In this study, BI 764532 is given to people for the first time. That means no clinical data are available for BI 764532. Participants get BI 764532 in regular intervals. If there is benefit for the participants and if they can tolerate it, the treatment is given for a maximum of 3 years. During this time, participants visit the study site about 20 times depending on the response to the treatment. Doctors record any unwanted effects and regularly check the general health of the participants.

This single center phase 1 trial will study the combination of nivolumab+ipilimumab with embolization in participants with renal cell carcinoma. The study will evaluate the safety of embolotherapy in patients with metastatic RCC receiving nivolumab+ipilimumab. The hypothesis is that the number of serious adverse events will be no greater than the number of serious adverse events for both therapies combined.

Following radical nephrectomy (RNU) for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) most patients face a poor prognosis. Indeed, patients who have undergone RNU for UTUC have 5-year recurrence-free and cancer specific survival probabilities of 69% and 73% respectively. The primary objective of this study is to assess the pathological complete response rate to combination therapy with neoadjuvant durvalumab and chemotherapy (Gemcitabine/Cisplatin) before surgery in patients with high-risk, localized, non-metastatic urothelial carcinomas of the upper tract.

This phase II trial studies the effect of cabazitaxel, carboplatin, and cetrelimab followed by niraparib with or without cetrelimab in treating patients with aggressive variant prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Chemotherapy drugs, such as cabazitaxel and carboplatin, 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. PARPs are proteins that help repair DNA mutations. PARP inhibitors, such as niraparib, can keep PARP from working, so tumor cells can't repair themselves, and they may stop growing. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as cetrelimab, may help the body's immune system attack the tumor, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving niraparib with or without cetrelimab, after treatment with cabazitaxel, carboplatin, and cetrelimab, may help control aggressive variant prostate cancer.

Stomach cancer is recognized as the third leading cause of death of cancer patients worldwide. Despite the radical treatment carried out, the progression of gastric cancer occurs in 30-40% of patients. The most common type of tumor progression of this localization is peritoneal carcinomatosis. When peritoneal carcinomatosis occurs, the median survival of patients does not exceed 3 months, the overall survival is no more than 6 months. Unfortunately, when peritoneal carcinomatosis occurs, palliative chemotherapy remains the only treatment option. The modern strategy for the prevention and treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis is based on the concept of regional chemotherapy. The main methods of regional chemotherapy are hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and Pressured Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC). PIPAC is a new technology for delivering chemotherapy drugs to tumor nodes on the surface of the peritoneum and allows the cytostatic to be evenly distributed over the abdominal cavity, increasing the depth of its penetration into tumor nodes due to the properties of aerosol and gradients of intra-abdominal and interstitial pressure. The method has a number of advantages over the HIPEC method: a large penetration depth of drugs, low trauma, the possibility of repeated use. We offer PIPAC for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer and a high risk of developing peritoneal carcinomatosis in an adjuvant mode in addition to standard treatment to prevent the development of carcinomatosis.
