Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

The purpose of Phase 1b of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PDn) and assess the safety, tolerability and activity of oprozomib in combination with sorafenib in subjects with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The purpose of Phase 2 of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of oprozomib in combination with sorafenib versus sorafenib alone and to compare the key outcome measures for subjects with advanced HCC.

This is an open label, multi-center, Phase II study of BBI503 administered to adult patients with selected advanced urologic malignancies. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the disease control rate of patients with renal cell cancer and urothelial carcinoma treated with BBI503.

This study is establish whether INC280 is safe and has beneficial effects in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma known to have dysregulation of c-MET pathway and whose disease progressed while on, or after, treatment with sorafenib or who are intolerant to sorafenib. Patients will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive INC280 at 600mg BID plus best supportive care (BSC) or placebo plus BSC, until disease progression or intolerable to study treatment. Patients treated with placebo plus BSC will have the opportunity to receive INC280 treatment upon documented further disease progression (RECIST 1.1) per investigator's discretion after unblinding. Patient will be stratified to geographical region (Asia vs Rest of World ) and tumor burden (present macroscopic vascular invasion and/or extra-hepatic spread vs not present).

This study is an individualized anti-cancer vaccine protocol where the vaccination occurs inside of the body. To create the vaccine, a tumor lesion is selected and caused to die by a process called "Radiofrequency Ablation" or RFA. RFA causes the tumor to release its internal contents to the surrounding environment, such contents include tumor-specific antigens. Immune cells respond to the tissue damage and take-up these tumor antigens. The injection of the experimental cell drug, AlloStim(TM) into the lesion is designed to cause the responding cells to signal the immune system of the danger of the tumor, creating tumor-specific immunity.

There have been reports suggesting that anti-epidermal growth factor antibody nimotuzumab is advantageous for advanced esophageal cancer patients in combination with chemotherapy or radiotherapy.And,albumin-bound paclitaxel was characterized with high tolerated doses with greater efficacy,and with greater concentration in tumor tissue compared with normal tissues.So,The objective of this single-arm phase II trial was to evaluate the benefit of nimotuzumab plus nab-paclitaxel and cisplatin in patients with advanced esophageal carcinoma.

This research study is a Phase I clinical trial. Phase I clinical trials test the safety of an investigational intervention (in this case, the stereotactic radiation boost). Phase I studies also try to define the appropriate dose of the investigational intervention to use for further studies. "Investigational" means that the stereotactic radiation treatment is still being studied and that research doctors are trying to find out more about it. It also means that the FDA has not approved a stereotactic radiation boost for your type of cancer. In this research study, the investigators are looking for the highest dose of the stereotactic radiation boost that can be given safely. Because the stereotactic radiation boost is so precise, the investigators are testing whether it can be used to increase the dose to the primary tumor without significantly increasing the side effects you experience; the goal is to improve the likelihood of successfully treating the tumor.

This is a research study of a radiation treatment called stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) plus a medicine called sorafenib. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of SBRT plus Sorafenib to see what effects (good and bad) it has on the treatment of liver cancer.

The purpose of this study is to test a novel diagnostic PET imaging agent for safety and biodistribution. The agent binds PSMA and is designed to detect Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen expressing tumors, such as has been described for some renal cell carcinoma tumors.

This randomized phase II trial studies how well radiation therapy and pembrolizumab work in treating patients with urothelial bladder cancer that is restricted to the site of origin, without evidence of spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving radiation therapy and pembrolizumab may work better in treating urothelial bladder cancer.

This is a Phase 3, randomized, open-label, 2-arm trial designed to evaluate overall survival (OS) following treatment with Sym004, an investigational medicinal product (IMP), versus TAS-102 (trifluridine/tipiracil), a comparator (control) agent.
