Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

This trial performs user testing of a mobile-friendly patient history collection and genetic education tool to improve healthcare providers' understanding of prostate cancer genetic testing. This trial also compares traditional genetic counseling versus a web-based genetic education (WBGE) tool to provide information about genetic testing to men with prostate cancer. The WBGE tool has educational modules on genetic counseling and testing, as well as a patient history collection tool to help providers learn which patients may carry genetic mutations and may be considered for genetic counseling and genetic testing. The purpose of this research is to use technology to deliver information on genetic testing for prostate cancer to patients to help them decide whether or not to receive genetic testing.

This exploratory study investigates how a new imaging technique called FAPI PET/CT can determine where and to which degree the FAPI tracer (68Ga-FAPi-46) accumulates in normal and cancer tissues in patients with prostate cancer. Because some cancers take up 68Ga-FAPi-46 it can be seen with PET. FAP stands for Fibroblast Activation Protein. FAP is produced by cells that surround tumors. The function of FAP is not well understood but imaging studies have shown that FAP can be detected with FAPI PET/CT. Imaging FAP with FAPI PET/CT may in the future provide additional information about various cancers including prostate cancer.

This phase II trial studies how well cabozantinib and pembrolizumab work for the first-line treatment of patients with liver cancer who are not eligible for local therapy (i.e. advanced stage). Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some cell surface receptors and signaling pathways inside the tumor cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer. Giving cabozantinib and pembrolizumab together may work better in treating patients with advanced liver cancer compared to cabozantinib or pembrolizumab alone.

This is an open label, Phase 1b pre-operative window of opportunity biomarker trial to analyze the combination of intravenous (IV) anti-PD-1 inhibitor, nivolumab, given along with toll-like receptor 8 (TLR 8) agonist motolimod delivered either subcutaneously (SC) or by intratumoral injection (IT) in subjects with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). Subjects with previously untreated, resectable SCCHN, will be recruited onto this trial and will initially undergo pre-treatment diagnostic imaging and biological sample collection. These subjects will undergo pre-operative study treatment for a 3 to 4-week period prior to a scheduled surgical resection.

This phase II trial studies the side effects of durvalumab and chemotherapy before surgery in treating patients with variant histology bladder cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may induce changes in the body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, cisplatin, gemcitabine, 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. Giving durvalumab in addition to standard chemotherapy may lead to better outcomes in patients with variant histology bladder cancer.

This is a single arm phase II study assessing the activity of atezolizumab in combination with carboplatin + gemcitabine or docetaxel compared to historical controls of chemotherapy only in metastatic or recurrent urothelial carcinoma subjects. Subjects that received a PD 1 or PD-L1 inhibitor with no prior platinum chemotherapy for metastatic disease will be treated with atezolizumab + carboplatin + gemcitabine on trial. Subjects that received sequential or concurrent PD1/PDL1 inhibitor and carboplatin-based regimen will be treated with atezolizumab + docetaxel on trial.

This is a Phase I study in participants with superficial or nodular Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), designed to assess dose limiting toxicities and maximum tolerated dose, efficacy, safety, and tolerability of dissolvable, tip-loaded, microneedle arrays containing doxorubicin (D-MNA).

The study will evaluate the clinical activity of PD-(L)1 Checkpoint Inhibitor regimens in combination with the investigational agent sitravatinib in patients with advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma.

The purpose of this study is to learn about the treatments used in for advanced renal cell carcinoma as well as effectiveness of these treatments in the real world. Study participants must be: At least 18 years of age or older. Confirmed renal cell carcinoma Received first line treatment

This is an open-label, multidose, first-in-human (FIH), Phase 1/2 study of RTX-224 for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R), or locally advanced solid tumors.
