Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

A randomized phase II tials to study whether it's benefit of adding Nimotuzumab to chemoradiation for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after radical esophagectomy who suffer with locoregional lymph nodes recurrence.

Cisplatin-based chemotherapy is the standard regimen for advanced urothelial carcinoma. But cisplatin-unfit patients account for up to 30-40% of patients in clinical practice. Recently reported phase II/III trial of EORTC 30986 comparing gemcitabine/carboplatin (GCb) with MCAVI (Methotrexate, Carboplatin, Vinblastine) suggested that GCb be the preferred regimen over MCAVI based on the response rates, adverse events, and severe acute toxicities. But the grade 3 or worse toxicities associated with GCb are not infrequent and need more effective and more tolerable regimens. GemOx has been reported to be effective and have very favorable toxicity profiles.

In this trial HLA-A2+ patients with WT1 expressing carcinomas are vaccinated with a peptide from the leukemia associated antigen WT1 together with immunological adjuvants KLH as T-helper protein and GM-CSF

This randomized phase III trial studies paclitaxel to see how well it works compared to polyglutamate paclitaxel or observation only in treating patients with stage III or stage IV ovarian epithelial, peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and polyglutamate paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Paclitaxel and polyglutamate paclitaxel may also stop the growth of ovarian epithelial or peritoneal cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Sometimes, after treatment, the tumor may not need additional treatment until it progresses. In this case, observation may be sufficient. It is not yet known whether paclitaxel is more effective than polyglutamate paclitaxel or observation only in treating ovarian epithelial, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping the cells from dividing. Chemoembolization kills tumor cells by blocking the blood flow to the tumor and keeping chemotherapy drugs near the tumor. It is not yet known whether doxorubicin is more effective with or without chemoembolization in treating unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer). PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying doxorubicin given by infusion to see how well it works compared to doxorubicin given by chemoembolization in treating patients with advanced liver cancer than cannot be removed by surgery.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of patients who receive apatinib plus radiotherapy and S-1 for treatment of refractory or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

This project aims to investigate the safety and effectiveness of gasless single-port laparoscopic-assisted radical resection (GSLR) in the treatment of rectal carcinoma.

The objective is to show non-inferiority of overall survival between four cycles and six cycles of first-line cisplatin based chemotherapy to determine the optimal duration of chemotherapy in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma.

In vitro study to examine whether luteolin and nano-luteolin exert an inhibitory effect on tongue squamous cell carcinoma cell line by inducing apoptosis, and to assess if nano-luteolin has more efficient apoptotic activity than luteolin on tongue squamous cell carcinoma cell line.

The study assessed the clinical efficacy, and safety of the combination of Nimotuzumab administered concomitantly with intensity modulated radiation therapy(IMRT) in patients with recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer.
