Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

This Phase I/Il studies the side effects of endobronchial ultrasound guided interstitial photodynamic therapy work in treating patients with lung cancer that has spread to nearby tissues or lymph nodes. Photodynamic therapy consists of injecting a light sensitive drug called a photosensitizer, such as porfimer sodium, into the vein, waiting for it to accumulate in the tumor, and then activating it with a red laser light. Giving photodynamic therapy with Porfimer sodium may reduce the tumor size in patients with lung cancer.

The investigators propose in this trial to test a hepatic chemotherapy, consisting of the hepatic intra-arterial injection Idarubicin, emulsified with Lipiodol, lipid vector, without embolization in the treatment of non-metastatic, unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma on cirrhosis with Child-Pugh A/B7.

This is a prospective, multi-centre, open label, stratified, exploratory phase II study evaluating the efficacy and safety of durvalumab plus tremelimumab in different cohorts of patients with thyroid cancers.

This phase II trial studies how well durvalumab and tremelimumab work in treating participants with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab and tremelimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether give durvalumab and tremelimumab in combination or sequential administration works better in treating participants with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.

This phase III trial studies how well active surveillance help doctors to monitor subjects with low risk germ cell tumors for recurrence after their tumor is removed. When the germ cell tumors has spread outside of the organ in which it developed, it is considered metastatic. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bleomycin, carboplatin, etoposide, and cisplatin, 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. The trial studies whether carboplatin or cisplatin is the preferred chemotherapy to use in treating metastatic standard risk germ cell tumors.

Patients will receive standard of care radiation therapy to the primary tumor of the head and neck and involved nodal metastasis and draining nodal basin and either weekly cisplatin or every 3-week cisplatin in locally advanced SCCHN. The relationship between cisplatin toxicity and the level of reactive oxygen species generated by the drug in subjects with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck treated on this trial.

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 study designed to compare the efficacy and safety of tislelizumab + either cisplatin or carboplatin + gemcitabine versus placebo+ either cisplatin or carboplatin + gemcitabine in approximately 420 participants with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who have not received prior systemic therapy.

PIPAC is a procedure that involves the administration of intraperitoneal chemotherapy using an innovative concept that enhances the efficacy by taking advantage of the physical properties of gas and pressure. The chemotherapy drugs will be delivered in aerosolised form. This results in a superior distribution and depth of penetration of the drug. This research study serves to determine the safety profile and tolerability of PIPAC with oxaliplatin. It may offer a novel and effective option of treatment for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis, who, at present have limited options involving the use of systemic chemotherapy and who suffer from poor life expectancy and poor quality of life. To date, most trials have used PIPAC cisplatin with doxorubicin, or oxaliplatin alone, and more studies are on-going globally. Intravenous (IV) nivolumab has been approved for the treatment of progressive gastric cancer after conventional chemotherapy. PIPAC in combination with nivolumab may have the potential to improve immune activation and response to immune checkpoint inhibition for patients with peritoneal disease. Hence we propose an amendment to our trial protocol for the addition of a second cohort (Cohort 2) to investigate the safety and tolerability of the combination of PIPAC oxaliplatin and IV nivolumab.

This is a Phase I/II, open-label, multi-center study of axitinib in combination with nivolumab in patients with previously treated and untreated advanced RCC. This clinical study will be composed of a dose finding phase (Phase I) and two parallel dose expansion phases (Phase II). The dose finding phase will assess the safety of the combination and establish a recommended phase II dose (RP2D, the highest tested dose that is declared safe and tolerable by the Investigators and the Sponsor Investigator) in patients with advanced RCC who have received prior systemic therapy for metastatic disease. Phase II will evaluate the efficacy of the combination at the RP2D in two parallel expansion cohorts in both previously treated and treatment naïve patients.

In this study, participants with histologically diagnosed locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who have received preoperative cisplatin-based chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery harbouring high risk of tumor recurrence will receive adjuvant cisplatin-based chemoradiotherapy followed by pembrolizumab. The primary study hypothesis is that adjuvant pembrolizumab will improve the 1-year recurrence-free survival rate compared to historical control.
