Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

This phase IV clinical trial investigates the impact of prostate cancer treatment, specifically androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), on the heart and coronary vessels among men with localized, non-metastatic prostate cancer undergoing definitive radiation therapy and concomitant ADT. Recently, cardiovascular toxicity from hormone therapy that is routinely used for prostate cancer (e.g. leuprolide) has emerged as a concern, yet studies identifying who is at risk and the mechanism of cardiac damage are lacking. Additionally, a new hormone therapy drug, relugolix, has recently been Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved and may reduce toxicity to the heart. This trial intends to investigate the mechanism of cardiovascular toxicity from ADT, investigate the mechanism by which relugolix reduces cardiovascular toxicity, and identify predictive biomarkers to improve individualized risk-assessment for cardiovascular toxicity from ADT.

This study will be evaluating safety and efficacy of the combination of lenvatinib and pembolizumab neoaadjuvant therapy prior to surgical resection of locally advanced renal cell carcinoma with IVC tumor thrombus.

This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy combined with Apatinib and Camrelizumab (treatment group) versus Apatinib and Camrelizumab (control group) for C-staged Hepatocellular Carcinoma in BCLC classification. The primary outcome measure is to evaluate the progression-free-survival (PFS) of treatment group and control group for C-staged Hepatocellular Carcinoma in BCLC classification. The secondary Outcome measures include the overall survival (OS), time to progress (TTP), time-to-response (TTR), duration of response (DOR), objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) of treatment group and control group for C-staged Hepatocellular Carcinoma in BCLC classification. Moreover, this study aims to assess the safety and tolerability of treatment group and control group for C-staged Hepatocellular Carcinoma in BCLC classification.

This phase II trial tests whether the addition of radiation to the primary tumor, typically given with stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR), in combination with standard of care immunotherapy improves outcomes in patients with renal cell cancer that is not recommended for surgery and has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Radiation therapy uses high energy photons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses of radiation over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, ipilimumab, avelumab, 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. Axitinib, cabozantinib, and lenvatinib are in a class of medications called antiangiogenic agents. They work by stopping the formation of blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to tumor. This may slow the growth and spread of tumor. Giving SABR in combination with standard of care immunotherapy may help shrink or stabilize the cancer in patients with renal cell cancer.

This is a single-arm, multicenter, prospective, open-label phase II clinical trial of multi-target radiotherapy combined with PD-1 monoclonal antibody and capecitabine maintenance therapy treating oligometastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma, the main purpose of which is to evaluate the efficacy of multi-target radiotherapy combined with PD-1 monoclonal antibody and capecitabine maintenance therapy regimen in treating oligometastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

This is a updated trial of NCT04188860 as a multi-center study. For recurrent or persistent advanced cervical cancer patients, the first-line chemotherapy was based on platinum. However, if they were refractory to platinum-based chemotherapy, there were no other more effective medications or treatment. The marketing of anti-PD-1 antibody has provided an opportunity of curative management. This single arm, open, phase II trial would recruit 122 eligible patients. A combination of anti-PD-1 antibody camrelizumab and albumin-bound paclitaxel would be given for all patients. The primary end is overall response rate (ORR). The second ends include progression-free survival, overall survival, disease control rate, remission duration, and adverse events. A molecular testing, mainly consisting of genomic analysis, will be carried in the oncologic tissues.

This research study is being done to test the efficacy and safety of combining the study drugs pembrolizumab and lenvatinib in patients with clear cell ovarian cancer. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: Lenvatinib Pembrolizumab

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effectiveness of using a combination of pembrolizumab and olaparib when given before and after standard chemoradiation therapy in treating locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Pembrolizumab and olaparib are drugs that are approved for head and neck cancer treatment. However, FDA has not approved the use of these two drugs together in treating head and neck cancer.

This research is being done to see if it is safe to give investigational combination of study drugs (Pembrolizumab and IO102-103) before surgery to people with surgically resectable (removable) newly diagnosed or recurrent metastatic SCCHN. This will be done by watching participants closely for possible side effects from Pembrolizumab and IO102-103. In addition, participants will be monitored for any delays to their surgery due to the study drugs.
