Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of postoperative hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy, interferon/fluorouracil versus low-dose cisplatin/fluorouracil, in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein tumor thrombus.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether compared with arsenic trioxide TACE alone, arsenic trioxide TACE and intravenous administration could further prolong the overall survival.

Albumin-bound paclitaxel plus carboplatin regimen in advanced NSCLC especially in lung squamous cell carcinoma has a better tumor response rate and safety, therefore.The main purpose of this study is to observe the safety and efficacy of albumin-bound paclitaxel / carboplatin in the treatment of lung squamous cell carcinoma of stage IIB and IIIA.

The aim of this Phase I/II study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of dendritic cells (DC) vaccine combined with cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells in patients with renal cell carcinoma. Experimental recombinant adenovirus-transfected DC, which engineered to express MUC1 and Survivin are used for DC-based immunotherapy. Based on the results of our previously performed preclinical study with DC vaccine combined with CIK cells, the investigators plan to perform the clinical trial.

The primary objective of this phase I dose escalation study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of TH-302 when administered with doxorubicin via trans-arterial chemo-embolization (TACE) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who are not transplant candidates and have unresectable disease. HCC is the second leading cause of worldwide cancer death and is generally incurable without liver transplant. TACE can convert about 40% of these patients to transplant candidates. Additionally, in non-transplant HCC patients, TACE confers statistical improvements in overall survival. Selective HCC arterial catheterization during TACE allows for the delivery of concentrated drugs to the liver tumor but the optimal TACE chemotherapy regimen has not yet been determined. TH-302 is a hypoxia inducible agent that can be activated in the hypoxic environment induced by TACE.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of secondary cytoreduction (SCR) and validate the risk model of patient selection criteria in platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer.

RFA has become a standard method in the treatment of small HCC(≤2 cm) due to its ease of use, safety, cost-effectiveness, and minimal invasiveness. It can ablated and blocked the small vessels while destroyed the tumor cell in situ. Surgical resection is the most widely accepted treatment for the patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma in the Asian countries. But the effectiveness of hepatectomy was depressed because of the high recurrence rate. The spreading of the cancer cell along the portal vein or the hepatic vein system during the operation account for the tumor recurrence. Using RFA to ablate and block the small vessels around the tumor before resection will reduce the spreading of the cancer cell. Investigators hypothesized that the RFA assisted hepatectomy might result in lower recurrence rate than hepatectomy alone in the treatment of advanced HCC. Thus, the purpose of this study was to prospectively compare the effects of RFA assisted hepatectomy with hepatectomy alone for the treatment of advanced HCC.

This is a single center, non-randomized phase IIa study to determine the tolerance and safety of Abraxane (ABX) in combination with cisplatin (DDP) in patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Patients in whom the standard therapy had failed or had been infeasible will be eligible.The safety and efficacy will be evaluated according to NCI-CTCAE V4.0 and RECIST 1.1 respectively.

Locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients(UICC7th stageIII to IVb) will receive either cisplatin plus 5-fluorouracil (PF) or docetaxel plus cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil(TPF) neoadjuvant chemotherapy with concurrent chemoradiation.

S-1 is a new chemotherapy drug. Some phase II trials showed S-1 is effective in Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). S-1 combined with calcium folinate (SL) showed very good efficiency and safety in colorectal cancer (CRC). The short duration (two weekly regimen) is better than common course 4 week regimen in tolerance. So the investigators want to examine the efficiency and safety of SL one week on and one week off regimen in HCC.
