Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

Esophageal cancer is a kind of disease with high incidence and mortality. Definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy is an important treatment for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. To Investigate the value of immunotherapy consolidation in locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after completing radical concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

The primary objective of the trial is the safety and tolerability of administering a vaccine targeting the DNAJB1-PRKACA fusion kinase, in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab in patients with unresectable or metastatic FLC and to assess the T-cell response.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients is a common disease in the East Asia. During the disease course, 20%-50% patients suffered portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT), which is characterized with poor outcome and low response for treatments. Although BCLC (Barcelona clinical liver cancer) system recommend to palliative targeted treatment, the East Asian countries recommend to resection or transartery chemoembolization (TACE). Recently, FOLFOX (Oxaliplatin and 5-fluorouracil) based hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) exhibited high response rate for advanced HCC. Pilot study showed TACE combined HAIC (TACE-HAIC) had better tumor response, with low progression disease rate. Whether TACE-HAIC would improve survival for patients with PVTT is need to further to study. A randomized clinical trial compared neo-TACE-HAIC with surgery versus surgery alone is aimed to answer this question.

The purpose of this study is to: Test how well the study medicine Abemaciclib, a CDK4/6 inhibitor, works to shrink lung cancer tumors in the body. Test the safety of Abemaciclib when given to participants with small cell lung cancer (SCLC), large cell neuroendocrine lung cancer, extrapulmonary small cell cancers and other high grade neuroendocrine cancers of the lung. Specifically, this study is looking at SCLC, large cell neuroendocrine lung cancer, extrapulmonary small cell cancers and other high grade neuroendocrine cancers of the lung that have not responded to treatment (refractory) or come back after treatment with chemotherapy (relapsed) as the study medication has been shown to be effective any time the disease relapses not just in the first few months.

A Phase II, multi-center, single-arm, non-blinded study combining androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and pembrolizumab for patients with metastatic or locally recurrent androgen receptor-positive salivary gland carcinoma, not amenable to surgery or radiation.

This early phase I trial studies the side effects of autologous dendritic cells and a vaccine called Prevnar in treating patients with liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery after undergoing standard high-dose external beam radiotherapy. Autologous dendritic cells are immune cells generated from patients' own white blood cells that are grown in a special lab and trained to stimulate the immune system to destroy tumor cells. A pneumonia vaccine called Prevnar may also help stimulate the immune system. Giving autologous dendritic cells and Prevnar to patients with liver cancer after radiotherapy may help doctors determine if it is possible to stimulate the body's own immune system to fight against the tumor, and to see if this immune stimulation can be done safely.

This phase II trial studies how well avelumab with or without cetuximab work in treating patients with skin squamous cell cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as avelumab and cetuximab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

This is a Phase 1, first-in-human, open-label dose-escalation study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and assess the DLT of JAB-3312. It is anticipated that approximately 24 subjects will be enrolled in the dose-escalation phase of the study. JAB-3312 will be administered orally once daily (QD) in 21-day treatment cycles.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of talazoparib in combination with radiation therapy and to see how well they work in treating patients with gynecologic cancers that have come back after previous treatment (recurrent). Talazoparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving talazoparib in combination with radiation therapy may work better in treating patients with gynecologic cancers.

Background: Surgery is the primary treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is diagnosed in its earlier stages. But the tumors often return. Radiation and chemotherapy can improve survival in some people who have had surgery for NSCLC, but these treatments also cause serious side effects. A new approach, called immunotherapy, may be a better way to stop NSCLC tumors from coming back. Objective: To test a new treatment (H1299 lung cancer cell vaccine combined with the drug N-803) in people who received surgery for NSCLC. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 years or older with no sign of disease after surgery for NSCLC. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. They will have tests of their heart and lung function. They will have imaging scans. Study treatment will be given in 28-day cycles. Participants will visit the clinic on the first day of each cycle. They will receive 2 treatments at each visit: The study vaccine is given as 2-4 small shots under the skin of the thigh or arm. N-803 is given as a shot under the skin of the abdomen. Treatment will continue for 6 cycles. Blood tests and imaging scans will be repeated throughout the study. Participants will have a blood test 1 month after receiving the 6th vaccine. Some participants may then resume taking N-803; they may also receive 2 more vaccinations at 3 and 6 months after their previous treatment. Follow-up visits will continue for up to 5 years.
