Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

Up to 31 subjects diagnosed with oral squamous cell carcinoma received one application of a permeation enhancer 3 treatment applications of a Cisplatin drug-loaded patch to the tumor site at each of the 4 treatment visits. These 4 treatment visits were scheduled to occur during the 3 weeks prior to the standard of care tumor resection. Funding Source: FDA OOPD

This is a Phase 2, Open-label, Randomized, Multicenter Study to Investigate the Efficacy, Safety, and Pharmacokinetics of Brivanib in Patients with Previously Treated Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of a combination of the study drug called WST11 and PDT. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a type of ablation therapy (treatment which destroys tumor cells) which has been previously approved for the treatment of patients with other cancers. It works by using a drug that is given through the vein and then is activated in the tumor by light administered during endoscopy, which results in destruction of the cancer cells.

This randomized phase IIb trial studies how well ACTOplus met extended release (XR) works in treating in patients with stage I-IV oral cavity or oropharynx cancer that are undergoing definitive treatment. Chemoprevention is the use of drugs to keep oral cavity or oropharynx cancer from forming or coming back. The use of ACTOplus met XR may slow disease progression in patients with oral cavity or oropharynx cancer.

TITAN RCC (0216-ASG) is a Phase 2, open-label study of nivolumab monotherapy with additional nivolumab/ipilimumab "boost" cycles in previously untreated and pretreated (2nd line), advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) subjects with intermediate and high risk disease according to IMDC.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the overall response rate (ORR) of pemigatinib as a monotherapy in the treatment of metastatic or surgically unresectable urothelial carcinoma harboring FGF/FGFR alterations.

Chemoembolization is a recognized treatment strategy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) classical chemoembolization consists in injecting an emulsion of an anticancer agent in Lipiodol® via the hepatic artery doxorubicin, an anthracycline, is the most frequently used drug in lipiodol chemoembolization (LCE) however, less than half of HCC respond favourably to classical lipiodol chemoembolization (LCE) with doxorubicin/Lipiodol® In this trial, we propose to introduce in clinical practice a strategy based on idarubicin to achieve a more effective antitumor effect for the following reasons, recently pointed out by our team: idarubicin is an anthracycline that penetrates tumour cells more quickly and is more cytotoxic than doxorubicin on hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines idarubicin is injected in a solution of embolization microspheres of a diameter of (300-500µm), which all the progressive and controlled release of the anticancer drug, whereas the doxorubicin/Lipiodol® emulsion is unstable

Currently, patients with cancer of oral cavity or oropharynx T1-T2N0 classified, are treated surgically with systematic lymph node dissection while in 70%, there is no lymph node metastasis. The technique of identifying the sentinel node (GS) is validated for these tumors because the status of the sentinel node is predictive of the other nodes status in the neck. This helps to diagnose the presence of metastases without lymph node dissection and thus select patients requiring a treatment node. However, the oncological and functional results of a therapeutic strategy based on identifying the GS is unknown. This open-label randomized multicenter clinical trial aims to compare the oncologic and functional outcome of two strategies : the current management versus the management based on the sentinel lymph node. The hypothesis is based on a nodal control difference at 2 years in both arms not exceeding 10%. The medico-economic analysis will be conducted in two stages : a classic stage on 2 years with estimated incremental cost-effectiveness and incremental cost-utility, then a step with log term modeling. A reduction in morbidity and treatment costs in the sentinel node arm are expected in this study.

The study is to observe safety, survival effect and peripheral T-lymphocyte subsets of combination therapy with percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) and adoptive immunotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).

This phase II trial studies how well atezolizumab and bevacizumab work in treating patients with cervical cancer that has come back, remains despite treatment, or has spread to other places in the body. Monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab and bevacizumab, may shrink tumor cell and interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
