Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

This phase II trial studies the good and bad effects of the combination of drugs called cabozantinib and nivolumab in treating patients with melanoma or squamous cell head and neck cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. 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. This trial may help doctors determine how quickly patients can be divided into groups based on biomarkers in their tumors. A biomarker is a biological molecule found in the blood, other body fluids, or in tissues that is a sign of a normal or abnormal process or a sign of a condition or disease. A biomarker may be used to see how well the body responds to a treatment for a disease or condition. The two biomarkers that this trial is studying are "tumor mutational burden" and "tumor inflammation signature." Another purpose of this trial is to help doctors learn if cabozantinib and nivolumab shrink or stabilize the cancer, and whether patients respond differently to the combination depending on the status of the biomarkers.

This stage IV trial examines how a mutation in HSD3B1 (1245C) gene affects treatment of stage I-III breast cancer. This trial may help researchers determine if mutations in HSD3B1 decreases the efficacy of aromatase inhibitor therapy such as letrozole. Letrozole may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This phase III trial compares the usual chemotherapy treatment to eribulin alone and to eribulin plus gemcitabine in treating patients with urothelial cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Chemotherapy drugs, such as eribulin, gemcitabine, docetaxel, and 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. This trial aims to see whether adding eribulin to standard of care chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with metastatic urothelial cancer.

Study design This study is a Phase III, randomized, open-label, multi-center, global study to determine the efficacy of a single immediate intravesical chemotherapy instillation (SI) in the prophylaxis of intravesical recurrence after diagnostic uretero-renoscopy (URS) of patients 18 years of age or older with the fist diagnosis of UTUC. This study will randomize 394 patients globally Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the interventional arm or to observation. Study period This study will include a screening period, a treatment and disease assessment period, safety follow-up visits and a 5-year survival follow-up period to begin immediately after the treatment. Screening period: The period up to 28 days prior to intervention during which the screening procedures occur. Treatment and disease assessment period: The period starting the day of diagnostic URS (Day 0) during which patients receive their assigned treatment (Day 0 to day 1) and disease assessments are performed. All patients must follow the disease assessment schedule, which includes disease assessments at screening and every 3 months (±1 week) from the date of intervention until 24 months from the date of randomization, and then every 6 months for up to 5 years. The treatment and disease assessment period will end at the time of intravesical recurrence, death, or MINERVA-CTU decision to terminate the trial early. Safety follow-up visits: Every patient in this study will be assessed for the occurrence of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events from the time of signed informed consent until 90 days after the administration of SI. All patients who receive SI will have safety visits 4, 8, and 12 weeks following administration of SI. Safety assessments include targeted physical examination, complications according to Dindo-Clavien classification and patient-reported outcomes (PRO) assessments. Survival follow-up period: Patients will be followed up at in-clinic site visits, by telephone contact, or by contact with the patient's current physician for up to 5 years from the date of randomized into this study. Objectives Primary objective Efficacy of a SI in the prophylaxis of intravesical recurrence after diagnostic URS for UTUC Secondary objectives Time to intravesical recurrence 5-years intravesical recurrence rates Incidence of high-grade BCa recurrence Incidence and gravity of adverse events (AEs) due to the SI To collect and store blood, urine and tissue samples according to each country's local and ethical procedures for identifying candidate markers that may correlate with likelihood of clinical benefit (optional) To collect and store DNA according to each country's local and ethical procedures for future exploratory research into somatic mutations and genes/genetic variations that may influence oncologic outcomes, to study treatments and susceptibility to disease (optional) To assess disease-related symptoms and HRQoL in patients with UTUC treated with SI compared those undergoing observation To assess patient-reported treatment tolerability directly using specific PRO-CTCAE symptoms Target study population The study population includes patients 18 years of age or older with a primary diagnosis of UTUC, scheduled for diagnostic URS Duration of treatment Patients randomized to the interventional arm will receive a SI within 24h after diagnostic URS. In case of multiple diagnostic URS during the follow-up (including 2nd look for incomplete ablation, non-diagnostic first URS or UTUC recurrence) patients randomized to the interventional arm will receive a SI after each diagnostic URS for 2 years after the day of first diagnostic URS. Follow-up of subjects post discontinuation of study treatment Patients who have discontinued study treatment due to toxicity, symptomatic deterioration, intravesical recurrence or investigator's decision will be followed up for survival until 5 years from the date of diagnostic URS. Survival All randomized patients, regardless of disease status, will be followed up for survival until 5 years from the date of diagnostic URS. Investigational product, dosage, and mode of administration Patients randomized to the interventional arm will receive a SI. The chemotherapy will be at investigator's discretion and institutional availability. The selected chemotherapy must be approved by the MINERVA-CTU in discussion with the local investigator. Statistical methods This study will randomize 394 patients globally. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to SI or observation. Randomization will be stratified by the following factors: Center EAU UTUC risk stratification

This phase II trial compares the effect of erdafitinib alone to using the combination of erdafitinib and atezolizumab in treating patients with bladder cancer whose tumor invades the muscular bladder wall (muscle invasive)and who are ineligible for treatment with a chemotherapy drug called cisplatin. This trial also determines whether these treatment approaches are better than the usual approach for treating this type of cancer. The usual approach for treatment of someone with muscle invasive bladder cancer is chemotherapy with a drug called cisplatin followed by surgery (most common), or chemoradiation (radiation combined with chemotherapy) to the bladder (in some patients). However, half of the patients cannot get cisplatin due to safety concerns. This study has a screening step. The purpose of this step is to test patient's tumor to find out if it has a specific change (alteration) in the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) gene to determine patient's eligibility for this trial. Alteration of the FGFR gene causes bladder cancer cells to grow and divide abnormally. Erdafitinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal FGFR protein. This may help keep cancer cells from growing and may kill them. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving erdafitinib alone or in combination with atezolizumab may help to shrink tumor cells at the time of surgery better than the usual treatment in muscle invasive bladder cancer.

A Multi-center, Open-label Phase II Clinical Trial of TJ271 Injection in Combination with Pembrolizumab in Chinese Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors to evaluate the anti-tumor efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of TJ271 in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Sarcopenia is associated with the prognosis of HCC and cholangiocarcinoma. But there has been rare study focusing on the effect of sarcopenia on the prognosis of HCC treated with systemic therapy, such as interventional therapy, targeted therapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy and so on.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether vitamin D is effective in the prevention of hepatocellular carcinoma in those patients with chronic hepatitis B.

The study will include patients with oral cancer and healthy controls of both sexes. Subjects having any systemic diseases or other types of cancer will be excluded. All subjects will be selected from Oral Medicine Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Al Ahram Canadian University and Fayoum University. Informed consent will be obtained from all subjects enrolled in this study after explanation of the whole procedure.

The goal of this observational study is to learn about survival and prognostic factors in patients who underwent surgical treatment for primary squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal vestibule. The main questions it aims to answer are: what is the prognosis of patients affected by squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal vestibule? are there any specific factors that could influence prognosis? is it possible to elaborate a new staging system, able to overcome the limitations of the currently used ones? Data about patients, tumour and type of surgery performed will be collected. Participants will be followed-up for a minimum 6 months period after surgery.
