Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

This study prospectively evaluates a multidisciplinary approach to patients with intraperitoneal carcinomatosis at Washington University. Patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis or pseudomyxoma peritonei will undergo debulking surgery with peritonectomy and placement of adhesive barrier film followed by repeated delayed intraperitoneal chemotherapy with 5FU with systemic oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy on a biweekly schedule. A retrospective review of patients treated in a similar manner at our institution showed good tolerance and efficacy. This formal Phase II study is planned to determine the safety, toxicities and survival of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis and pseudomyxoma peritonei treated with this regimen.

Sorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving sorafenib before and after surgery may be an effective treatment for kidney cancer. This phase II trial is studying how well sorafenib works in treating patients who are undergoing surgery for metastatic kidney cancer.

The purpose of the study is to determine whether pemetrexed and gemcitabine cause good tumour shrinkage when given to patients with previously untreated extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. The second purpose is to see if the side effects appear better than what is expected with standard chemotherapy.

TACE against HCC is the standard of care for BCLC stage B patients. In this exploratory study, the investigators assess the efficacy of TACE with or without adagloxad simolenin/OBI-821 treatment in GALNT14 "non-TT" HCC population.

This phase II trial studies how well alpelisib works in treating participants with human papillomavirus(HPV)-associated stage I-IVA head and neck cancer that can be removed by surgery. Alpelisib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This study evaluates ADCT-301 in patients with Selected Advanced Solid Tumors. Patients will participate in a Treatment Period with 3-week cycles and a Follow-up Period every 12 weeks for up to 1 year after treatment discontinuation.

The objective of the trial is to determine the clinical efficacy of ESK981 in combination with nivolumab therapy in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of olaparib and entinostat and to see how well they work in treating patients with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancers that have come back or do not respond to platinum-based chemotherapy. Olaparib and entinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

The purpose of this research study is to determine how people with weakened immune systems and unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery) locally recurrent and/or metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) respond to study treatment with Cemiplimab. Cemiplimab is approved for sale in United States by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The proposed study is a single site, prospective, randomized pilot study to assess the feasibility of recruitment of patients into a trial evaluating the efficacy and tolerability of selective transarterial Y90 radioembolization (radiation segmentectomy) versus stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for solitary early stage (≤ 3cm) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
