Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

Peritoneal carcinosis (PC) corresponds to a locoregional extension into the peritoneum of rare primary peritoneal cancers, or more frequently distant extension of digestive cancers (colorectal or gastric) or gynecological (ovarian, fallopian tube, or endometrial). PC can be considered as a distinct oncological entity as its genesis, natural history, and response to systematic treatments differ to those of other metastases. The development of PC, observed in 25-35% of colorectal cancers, is generally considered as a unfavorable event in the course of the disease. The prognosis is defined by the possibility of complete resection, possibly after neoadjuvant treatment. The benefit provided by the combination of cytoreductive surgery and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with respect to systemic chemotherapy in patients with PC of colorectal origin has been demonstrated based on overall survival in several randomized trials, among which one evaluated oxaliplatin. The evaluation of the clinical benefit-risk related to the repeated administration of non-hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, as has been validated in ovarian cancer, in patients with PC of colorectal origin is already being investigated by several international teams. The FOLFOXIRI + bevacizumab every 2 weeks is a modern therapeutic option in patients with this disease. The intraperitoneal rather than intravenous (IV) administration of oxaliplatin, in this combination, could increase the response of peritoneal lesions known to be relatively insensitive to IV chemotherapy.

There is no standard treatment in patients with renal cell carcinoma that was previously treated with VEGF targeted therapies and mTOR inhibitors.So investigators conducted a randomized, open-label, multi-center phase II study to compare bevacizumab plus sorafenib versus sorafenib for the third-line treatment of patients with Metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

Will meet the inclusion criteria of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, divided into 2 groups randomly: Experimental group: radiotherapy combined with S-1 chemotherapy. Control group: radiotherapy combined with S-1 chemotherapy and cisplatin.

When multi-kinase inhibitors based therapies (sorafenib and regorafenib) are limited in late-stage liver cancer patients, there is no alternative options. PD-1 blockade has became a promising immunotherapeutic strategy in many cancers. While it showed limited efficacy in liver cancer. Polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (PolyIC) has been widely studied as a new anti-tumor drug and recent study showed that polyIC and PD-L1 mAb has a quite synergetic effect on the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study is aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of PolyIC and PD-1 mAb in unresectable late-stage HCC patients.

This is a single-arm phase II clinical trial to evaluate the initial efficacy and safety of Sintilimab, a PD-1 Inhibitor, as Second-line Treatment in FH-deficient Renal Cell Carcinoma.

The aim of this study is to observe the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib in preventing high-risk recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma patients after liver transplantation.The cases are from patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent liver transplantation in the liver surgery department of Shanghai Renji Hospital. Patients enrolled in the study were randomly allocated in the lenvatinib group (54 patients) and the control group (54 patients) after stable condition.

The aim of this Phase 2 study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nivolumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody, and ipilimumab, an anti-CTLA-4 antibody, in T1aN0M0 clear-cell RCC patients ineligible for surgical treatment.

This phase II trial studies the side effects of ESK981 and nivolumab and to see how well they work for the treatment of castration resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). ESK981 is an investigational drug that targets several important pathways that are believed to play a role in the spread of cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. This study is being done to see if giving ESK981 and nivolumab together works better in treating metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer compared to usual treatments.

The subjects of primary hepatocellular carcinoma diagnosed pathologically or clinically will be grouped according to the size, location, number and function of the liver, and respectively received Intensity-modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT), Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) or surgery.

Oral cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide. Over 90% of all identified oral cavity cancers are invasive oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs). Primary treatments of OSCC are surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. However, anticancer therapies (drugs, irradiation) have undesirable side effects as they may induce mutations or irreversible DNA damage killing healthy cells. One of the most frequently used alternative therapies is herbal medicine that act as anti-ROS agents preventing DNA damage has been used alongside conventional treatment regimens. One of the agents that receives particular strong interest is coffee. Coffee is considered as a major source of dietary antioxidants; some are present in the green bean, whereas others are generated during roasting. Coffee roasting, the process of the heating of green coffee beans transforming them into black coffee beans, transforms the chemical and biological properties of coffee beans. Regarding oral cancer, some studies reported an association of high coffee consumption to an augmented risk of oral cancer while others showed a clear inverse association with the risk of oral cancer. Recently, there have been reports of a protective effect of coffee consumption on oral cancer from two recent meta-analysis. To our knowledge, only two studies were done to assess the effect of coffee ingredients (cafestol and kahweol) on oral squamous cell carcinoma cell lines. Due to these controversial findings concerning the effect of roasted coffee and absence of data on unprocessed (green coffee), our study aims to investigate the effect of different coffee beverage as regard apoptosis and proliferation carried out in OSCC cell lines.
