Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

Immunotherapy (IO), such as treatment with anti-PD-1, PD-L1, or CTLA-4 inhibitors, is a rapidly expanding treatment for multiple metastatic cancers with improved survival for certain cancers. However, the optimal duration of immunotherapies is currently unknown. Our hypothesis is that a reduced dose intensity of IO could be as effective as the current standard treatment in term of prevention of the disease progression. If proved right, this study will have a positive medico-economic impact by reduction of the costs associated with the treatment and the toxicity, and an increase of the patients' quality of life.

This clinical trial tests whether intensity modulated proton therapy after surgery works to shrink tumors in patients with head and neck cancer. Radiation therapy uses high energy protons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors.

This trial is a single-arm, multicenter phase Ib/II clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Docetaxel for Injection (Albumin-bound) combined with Nivolumab and the pharmacokinetic characteristics of Docetaxel in patients with recurrent or metastatic SCCHN who are positive for PD-L1 expression and have progressed on or after platinum-based therapy.

Immunotherapy can safely downstage patients and achieve durable systemic disease control to improve clinical outcomes in HCC patients undergoing liver transplant.

This study seeks to determine the safety and efficacy of shortening the primary and nodal adjuvant radiation therapy course from 2 Gy x 25 fractions to 3.6 Gy x 10 fractions in merkel cell carcinoma patients who may or may not be receiving immunotherapy.

This phase II/III trial compares the addition of radiation therapy to the usual treatment (immunotherapy with or without chemotherapy [carboplatin, pemetrexed, paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel]) versus (vs.) usual treatment alone in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) whose tumor is also negative for a molecular marker called PD-L1. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a type of radiation therapy that uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. This method uses special equipment to position a patient and precisely deliver radiation to tumors with fewer doses over a shorter period and may cause less damage to normal tissue than conventional radiation therapy. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, ipilimumab and pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Pemetrexed is in a class of medications called antifolate antineoplastic agents. It works by stopping cells from using folic acid to make DNA and may kill cancer cells. Paclitaxel is in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It stops cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Paclitaxel is in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It stops cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Nab-paclitaxel is an albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation of paclitaxel which may have fewer side effects and work better than other forms of paclitaxel. The addition of radiation therapy to usual treatment may stop the cancer from growing and increase the life of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who are PD-L1 negative.

Women with history of tumor response insufficient to allow complete cytoreductive surgery after three cycles of previous neoadjuvant systemic carboplatin-paclitaxel chemotherapy will be prospectively recruited in this trial. After signed consent and if unresectability is confirmed, patients will undergo three cycles of doxorubicin-cisplatin PIPAC chemotherapy associated with systemic carboplatin-paclitaxel chemotherapy (alternating PIPAC and intravenous chemotherapy sessions over 3 cycles of 4 weeks). The primary objective of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MDT). During cycle 1, limiting dose toxicity must be collected as soon as it is known. Each patients will be treated at the dose recommended by the CRM (Continual Reassessment Method ) algorithm conditional on dose-limiting toxicity during Cycle 1. The dose escalation will be guided by CRM to determine the recommended dose of PIPAC chemotherapy for phase II trial. Secondary objectives are : to evaluate the anatomopathological response, the radiologic tumoral response and the evolution of the peritoneal cancer extent, to the combined chemotherapy to describe the pharmacokinetic of the PIPAC chemotherapy to investigate the KELIM parameter as a predictive marker in the response sensitivity of the combined chemotherapy treatment and to evaluate the safety of the combined chemotherapy. During the first day of the first cycle, blood samples will be collected to measure doxorubicin and cisplatin (pharmacokinetic study). Along these 3 cycles, the dose of antigen CA-125 will be performed before each chemotherapies (intraperitoneal or intravenous). At the end of combined chemotherapy treatment, patients will undergo radiologic tumoral response by imaging assessment (scanner or MRI) and a last dosage of CA-125 will be realized.. In case of a complete / partial response / stabilization (RECIST criteria v.1.) on the imaging, re-evaluation for resectability will be done. If resectable disease, cytoreductive surgery will be programmed and a post-operative visit 1 month later will be realized. Otherwise for patients with progress disease or unresectable the participation in the study will be finished.

This phase II single-arm two-stage neoadjuvant study of pembrolizumab in patients with PD-1 naïve high-risk resectable cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) will be conducted over a 52-week period. The study will include patients who have not undergone surgery to remove disease, to formally evaluate whether both biologically and clinically high-risk disease may benefit from neoadjuvant anti-PD-1 therapy. Response to neoadjuvant anti-PD-1 therapy will be evaluated for association with improved landmark Relapse-free Survival (RFS).

This is a Phase 2 study to evaluate the clinical activity, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and related biomarkers of ZN-c3 in adult women with recurrent or persistent uterine serous carcinoma (USC).

This is a Phase 1b/2a multicenter study, which consists of two parts: Part 1: the Phase 1b part of the study will investigate the safety of the combination of ATX-101 with carboplatin/pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (ACD). ATX-101 will be administered intravenously in three escalation cohorts: 20, 30, and 45 mg/m² according to a 3+3 design. In the case where 20 mg/m² is not tolerated, the dose can be de-escalated to 15 mg/m². Part 2: the Phase 2a part of the study will investigate the efficacy and safety of ACD. ATX-101 will be administered at the dose defined in Part 1 of the study. Treatment will continue up to six cycles or until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, participant withdrawal of consent, non-compliance, lost to follow-up, or withdrawal at the Investigators discretion, whichever occurs first.
