Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

This is a study to determine the clinical benefit (how well the drug works), safety and tolerability of combining varlilumab and atezolizumab. Phase l of the study will enroll patients with a number of tumor types; Phase ll will enroll only patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC).* *Note: This Study was terminated prior to initiation of Phase II

The purpose of this study is determine whether the combination therapy with LEE011 and chemoembolization in patients with locally advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma not amenable to curative therapies will provide greater efficacy than chemoembolization alone with a tolerable safety profile.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the use of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for the treatment of the primary tumor in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in medically inoperable patients and/or patients who refuse surgery. Standard treatment of RCC is surgery. A number of non-surgical treatments of RCC are also available, but are highly invasive and are associated with significant side effects. SBRT is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment that requires tumor immobilization and image guidance in order to deliver a very precise, high-dose treatment. This trial will assess the use of SBRT to treat primary renal tumors by determining the maximum tolerated dose and toxicity. Subjects enrolled in this study will then be followed and evaluated for toxicity, serum chemistry, complete blood count, and urinalysis. In addition, they will undergo renal scans to assess the functionality of their renal tissue.

Background: - Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) come from cells of the hormonal and nervous systems. Some people have surgery to shrink the tumor. Sometimes the tumors come back. Researchers think that treatment with drugs based on knowing the defective gene might give better results. Objective: - To see if drugs selected based on the defective gene result in better tumor response. The drugs are Sunitinib and Everolimus. Eligibility: - People age 18 and older with an advanced low- or intermediate-grade gastrointestinal or pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Scans Blood, urine, and lab tests The study team will see if participants should have surgery. If yes, participants will: Sign a separate consent Have computed tomography (CT) scan before and after surgery Have as much of the tumor removed as possible. A small piece will be tested for mutation type. If no, participants will have a small piece of tumor removed for the testing. If the surgery might cure them, the participant will leave the study. The other participants will be assigned to take either Sunitinib or Everolimus. Participants will take their drug by mouth once a day. They will keep a medicine diary. Some will keep track of their blood pressure at least weekly. Screening tests may be repeated at study visits. Participants also may have their heart evaluated. About 30 days after the last day of their study drug, participants will have a follow-up visit that repeats the screening tests. Participants will be contacted every 3 months after this visit.

This pilot clinical trial studies how well ganetespib works before surgery in treating patients with stage I-IVA squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck that can be removed by surgery. Ganetespib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Studying samples of blood and tissue in the laboratory from patients receiving ganetespib may help doctors learn more about the effects of ganetespib on cells. It may also help doctors understand how well patients respond to treatment.

This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of epacadostat (INCB024360) administered in combination with atezolizumab (MPDL3280A) in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that have been previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy and Stage IV urothelial carcinoma who have failed a platinum-based chemotherapy regimen. The study will be conducted in two phases. The dose escalation phase will utilize a 3 + 3 design to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or a Pharmacologically Active Dose (PAD) of the combination. This will be followed by a dose expansion phase, which will be comprised of three cohorts. Expansion Cohorts 1 & 2 will further evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics at the dose identified in phase one. Expansion Cohort 3 will evaluate the change in biomarker expression following treatment with epacadostat as monotherapy followed by epacadostat and atezolizumab administered in combination.

This is an open-label, Phase I, dose escalation study to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose, maximum tolerated dose, and evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetic profile of ABBV-221 in participants with advanced solid tumors likely to exhibit elevated levels of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR).

This study will prospectively evaluate the technical feasibility, acute toxicity, late effects and oncologic outcomes of CyberKnife Stereotactic Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (CK-SAPBI) in early stage breast cancer. It will evaluate quality of life (QOL) issues as they relate to treatment-related side effects and cosmetic results.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in treating participants with head and neck cancer that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes and is at high risk for continuing to spread because the participant cannot undergo standard chemotherapy. Stereotactic body radiation therapy is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers radiation directly to the tumor in smaller doses over several days, which may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue.

The primary objective is to determine the early diagnosis rate and mortality rate of the Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) in the study population. The secondary objective is to determine the incidence of NPC in the study population.
