Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

Sorafenib-induced hand-foot skin reaction (HFSR) is a dose-dependent side effect in patients with advance hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The appropriate prophylactic dose of urea-based cream and comparison of its effectiveness with other creams remain unclear. The aim of this study was re-validating the prophylactic HFSR incidence density and cutaneous wetness of 10% urea-based cream on sorafenib-induced HFSR in patients with advanced HCC.

This study is designed to evaluate response and survival of treatment with the combination of pembrolizumab and ramucirumab in patients with progressive metastatic TCC after immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib plus nivolumab compared with lenvatinib monotherapy for patients with advanced hepatitis B virus infection-related hepatocellular carcinoma.

This phase II trial studies the impact of 68GA-PSMA-11 positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scan on treatment strategies for patients with prostate cancer. Diagnostic imaging procedures, such as 68GA-PSMA-11 PET/CT scan, may help doctors plan the best treatment for prostate cancer.

CX1106 is a novel inhibitor of thymidylate synthase (TS) developed as a potential antitumor agent by virtue of the rate limiting role of TS in the biosynthesis of thymidine. CX1106 differs from other TS inhibitors such as pemetrexed, raltitrexed, CB3717, and fluorouracil in that it does not require active transport for uptake into cells. CX1106 also lacks a glutamate moiety and thus does not require polyglutamation for antitumor activity. More than 1000 patients with various malignancies have been treated with CX1106 to date in previous various clinical trials. The investigators suggest a study of CX1106 in patients with recurrent or metastatic HNSCC who are resistant or ineligible/intolerant to platinum-based chemotherapy. The aim of current trial is to evaluate the antitumor efficacy and safety profile of CX1106.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the probiotic use in patients with periampullary cancers undergone curative or palliative treatment considering nutritional status, postoperative complications, infection rate, length of hospitalization and mortality.

The primary study objective will be to assess the efficacy of the combination of radiation therapy with nimotuzumab and cisplatin, as compared to the combination of radiation therapy plus cisplatin in the treatment of Uterine Cervical Carcinoma (UCC). The secondary study objectives will be safety and tolerability evaluations, to determine treatment feasibility and the interim efficacy evaluation according to other parameters routinely used in oncology.

Despite the success of anti-angiogenic therapy in multiple treatment settings, a fraction of patients are refractory to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor treatment while the majority of patients will eventually develop evasive resistance and exhibit disease progression while on therapy. It is proposed that mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (c-MET) and its ligand hepatocyte growth factor (HGF or scatter factor) contribute significantly to VEGF inhibitor resistance such that combining a c-MET inhibitor with a VEGF inhibitor will provide additional clinical activity compared to VEGF inhibitor alone. This hypothesis will be tested using the cMET/ALK inhibitor, crizotinib, in combination with individual VEGF inhibitors. Three combinations will be prioritized, namely crizotinib plus axitinib, crizotinib plus sunitinib and crizotinib plus bevacizumab, with a fourth combination, crizotinib plus sorafenib to be tested only if crizotinib does not combine with either axitinib and/or sunitinib.

Primary: to compare the overall survival defined as the time elapsed between the randomization date and death due to any cause, in both treatment groups. Secondary: to compare the progression-free survival, incidence of locoregional failure, site of the first recurrence/progression, objective response rate assessment, quality of life assessment and incidence of adverse events.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of giving everolimus (RAD001) and erlotinib hydrochloride together with radiation therapy in treating patients with recurrent head and neck cancer previously treated with radiation therapy. RAD001 and erlotinib hydrochloride 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. Giving RAD001 and erlotinib hydrochloride together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.
