Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

The purpose of this study is to study the effect of 13-cis retinoic acid in preventing second primary malignancy in the oral cavity cancer patients after curative local treatment and to study the toxicity and compliance of 13-cis retinoic acid.

To learn whether Flourine-18 Fluoro-deoxi-glucose positron emission tomography / computed tomography (F-18 FDG PET/CT) and dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE MRI) are better predictors of response to therapy than the current standard of care (CT or MRI).

RATIONALE: Celecoxib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth and by stopping blood flow to the tumor. Rosiglitazone may help tumor cells develop into normal bladder cells. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well giving celecoxib together with rosiglitazone works in treating patients who are undergoing cystoscopic surveillance (screening) for early-stage noninvasive (carcinoma in situ) carcinoma (cancer) of the bladder or radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive carcinoma (cancer has spread into the muscle layer of bladder tissue) of the bladder.

This phase I/II trial is studying how well fludeoxyglucose F 18 PET scan, CT scan, and ferumoxtran-10 MRI scan finds lymph node metastasis before undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer or high-risk endometrial cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as a fludeoxyglucose F 18 positron emission tomography (PET) scan, computed tomography (CT) scan, and ferumoxtran-10 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, may help find lymph node metastasis in patients with cervical cancer or endometrial cancer.

Recent studies indicate that liver cancer cells possess a receptor called the GABA-B receptor that when activated, inhibits the spread of cancer cells in test tubes. One of the drugs that activate these receptors is Baclofen, an agent that was originally developed to treat patients with various neurologic disorders. In this study, patients with recently identified liver cancer will be treated with Baclofen in an attempt to prevent or delay spread of the cancer beyond the liver. The time it takes for liver cancer to spread in the patients will be compared to the results obtained from patients enrolled in previous studies where Baclofen was not used.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether low-dose peg-interferon plus ribavirin therapy is effective in the prevention of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients who had the curative resection of primary HCC.

Purpose of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy of Xaliproden in reducing the neurotoxicity of the Oxaliplatin and 5-FU/LV chemotherapy, in patients with metastatic colorectal carcinomaPrimary objectives : Compare the risk of occurence of grade 3-4 peripheral sensory neuropathy relative to the cumulative dose of Oxaliplatin between treatment group and placebo group ; Compare the response rate between treatment group and placebo group.Secondary objectives : neurotoxicity parameters (overall incidence, time and dose to onset, time to recovery, change in the sensory action potentials) ; antitumoral efficacy (progression-free survival, overall survival) ; safety profile.

This phase Ib/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of guadecitabine when given together with nivolumab and to see how well they work in treating participants with colorectal cancer that does not respond to treatment and has spread to other places in the body. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as guadecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving guadecitabine and nivolumab may work better in treating participants with colorectal cancer.

This is a phase 1b/2 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of metronomic combination therapy in subjects with advanced, unresectable, and untransplantable HCC.

This is a Phase 1b open-label dose escalation trial of Ad/MG1-MAGEA3 and Pembrolizumab in patients with Metastatic Melanoma or Cutaneous Squamous Cell Skin Cancer that has failed prior standard of care treatments. Upon determination of a Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) or Maximum Feasible Dose (MFD) the study will be expanded into up to 24 additional Metastatic Melanoma patients.
