Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

The primary objectives of this study are to assess 1) the safety and 2) efficacy of combining Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 blockade with palliative radiation therapy in patients with Stage IV Merkel Cell Carcinoma.

The purpose of the observational study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of combination therapy with nivolumab and ipilimumab in Japanese participants with advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (aRCC) in the real-world setting in Japan.

Collect real world safety data on the use of sonidegib in adult patients with laBCC. Document major safety parameters such as on treatment deaths, adverse events (AEs)/ serious adverse events (SAEs) and discontinuation secondary to AEs.

In this Phase II study we investigate the benefit of cabozantinib treatment for patients with locally advanced or metastasized urothelial cell carcinoma who have been pre-treated with checkpoint inhibitors only (cohort 1) or who have been pre-treated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibitors (cohort 2). We are lacking adequate response and outcome data in patients after immunotherapy and consider that this study will improve future treatment modalities for this important patient cohort.

This trial studies how well digital PET scan works in predicting outcomes in patients with oropharyngeal cancer that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced). The development of digital detectors for PET is a technological improvement in medical imaging that could potentially impact many areas of clinical oncology, including staging, radiation planning accuracy, and the assessment of treatment response. Digital technology may improve PET imaging performance by providing better timing, energy and spatial resolution, higher count rate capabilities and linearity, increased contrast, and reduced noise. Utilizing digital PET scan, may work better in predicting outcomes and treatment response in patients with oropharyngeal cancer compared to conventional PET.

The reason for this study is to see if the study drug LY3435151 is safe in participants with advanced solid tumors.

This phase II trial studies how well radiation therapy and cisplatin with or without cetuximab works in treating patients with human papillomavirus (HPV) positive, KRAS-variant stage III-IV oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as 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. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, may help the body?s immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving radiation therapy, cisplatin, and cetuximab may work better in treating patients with HPV positive, KRAS-variant oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma compared to radiation therapy and cisplatin alone.

The purpose of study is to evaluate if the addition of GSK3359609 to pembrolizumab as first-line treatment improves the efficacy of pembrolizumab in participants with recurrent or metastatic (R/M) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma/cancer (HNSCC).This is a randomized, double-blind, adaptive Phase II/III study comparing a combination of GSK3359609 inducible T cell co-stimulatory receptor (ICOS) agonist and pembrolizumab to pembrolizumab plus placebo in participants with programmed death receptor 1-ligand 1 (PD-L1) combined positive score (CPS) >=1 R/M HNSCC.

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, stratified, vehicle-controlled study of the efficacy and safety of Patidegib Topical Gel, 2%, applied topically twice daily to the face of adult participants with non-Gorlin HF-BCC (high-frequency basal cell carcinoma). Participants will be randomized (1:1) to receive either Patidegib Topical Gel, 2%, or Vehicle for 9 months. Randomization will be stratified by gender. The primary endpoint is the number of nSEB (surgically eligible basal cell carcinoma) that develop on the face over the 9 month period. The primary end point will be assessed by imaging and tracking of BCCs consistently throughout the study in order to identify nSEBs.

This trial collects information about factors that affect communication of genetic test results, decision-making, and access to genetic testing in women with hereditary gynecological cancers. Studying individuals who are positive for a genetic mutation and immediate biological family members (including a parent, full-sibling, or child) may help identify cancer genes and other persons at risk.
