Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

This study will evaluate the safety of PD-1 knockout engineered T cells in treating metastatic advanced renal cancer. Blood samples will also be collected for research purposes.

There are two primary aims in the study: 1) to determine the tolerability and feasibility of combination hypofractionated radiation therapy and PD-1 inhibition with nivolumab, and 2) to determine the ability of hypofractionated radiation therapy to enhance response rate from PD-1 inhibition versus PD-1 inhibition alone by comparing the observed response rate under the combination therapy with a previously reported response rate under inhibition alone.

Reported in the 2018 NEJM (378; 1277) article, the combination of checkpoint inhibitors ipilimumab (anti-CTLA-4 antibody) and nivolumab (anti-PD-1 antibody) phase III trial Checkmate 214 demonstrated statistically significant (P<0.0001) improvement of overall response rate (ORR) at 42% (95% confidence interval (CI), 37-47%) compared to standard of care (SOC) sunitinib at 27% (95% CI, 22-31%) in treatment naïve advanced or metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). This study also showed increased survival benefit of Ipi+Nivo over sunitinib in the IMDC intermediate-poor risk ccRCC patients. Accordingly, the Ipi+Nivo was just approved by U.S. FDA in April 2018 for treating metastatic ccRCC. Hence, the investigators hypothesized that the combination of durvalumab and tremelimumab is similarly efficacious in advanced or metastatic RCC. Furthermore, the investigators also hypothesize that the administration of personalized neoantigen DNA vaccine will further enhance anti-tumor immune response in RCC.

This is an open-label, dose-escalation, phase I trial of the safety and efficacy of anti-CEA intraperitoneal CAR-T infusions for treatment in patients with CEA-expressing adenocarcinoma peritoneal metastases or malignant ascites.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib combined with PD-1 antibody compared with lenvtinib Alone in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib combined with PD-1 antibody compared with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for patients with intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) beyond up-to-seven criteria

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of intratumoral REOLYSIN® therapy alone and in combination with standard neoadjuvant gemcitabine and cisplatin in muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

The purpose of this study is to establish the intracranial efficacy of single agent capmatinib in the population of treatment-naïve or pretreated with one or two prior lines of systemic therapies for advanced stage Non Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with MET exon 14 mutation that has metastasized to the brain. Cohort 1 (asymptomatic brain metastases (BM) without prior brain therapy) has been selected to identify patients who are most likely to benefit from capmatinib therapy in this setting and to establish a clinically relevant response outcome. Cohort 2 is a heterogeneous group of patients (symptomatic with and without prior brain therapy, asymptomatic with prior brain therapy, or with leptomeningeal disease.), and the outcomes will be descriptive only

This study will treat resectable cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma patients with pramlintide for two weeks prior to surgical resection of their tumor. Pre-treatment and surgical resection specimens will then be analyzed for biological alterations.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety & efficacy of combination drugs versus placebo to treat metastatic melanoma and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
