Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

The goal of this clinical trail is to investigate the efficacy and safety of PD-1 antibody Tislelizumab plus TP regimen (taxane combined with platinum) as neoadjuvant therapy for patients diagnosed as local advanced cervical carcinoma (FIGO staging IB2-IIB).

Lenvatinib Plus Hepatic Arterial Infusion of Modified FOLFOX Regime vs Lenvatinib Plus Hepatic Arterial Infusion of Oxaliplatin Plus Raltitrexed in Patients with Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma

The purpose of this study is to observe and preliminary explore the efficacy and safety of the combination of Camrelizumab and Apatinib regimen in treating advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) participants who have progressed following prior Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICIs) treatment.

The objective of this study is to assess the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of MRG003 in patients with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck.

Currently the available first line palliative therapy for advanced HCC is Sorafenib and Lenvatinib of which Lenvatinib is tolerated better. Unfortunately, patients tend to progress after few months of therapy. Therefore it is imperative, to do trials by combinative therapy to the available therapy for added survival benefits and quality of life with advanced HCC. In this regard, Mebendazole appears to be a good choice for drug repurposing as it has shown very promising results either alone or in combination with other therapies in tumors of GI origin and CNS tumors. With regard to HCC Mebendazole has been found to be effective in vitro system of HCC and preclinical models. However no clinical trials have been initiated till now. The key hallmark features of HCC include activation of MAPK and angiogenesis which in turn are targeted by RTK inhibitors such as Sorafenib and Lenvatinib. In this regard Mebendazole has broad range of action by not only inhibiting angiogenesis and pro-survival pathways of MAPK, but by also inhibiting the secretion of MMPs and Tubulin polymerization which can all be beneficial in tumor regression and prevention of chemo-resistance in HCC. Mounting of a strong immune response plays an important role in identification of tumor antigen and thereby clearing of tumors. While Mebendazole can modulate the tumor, the data is scant with respect to the role of the drug. Hence repurposing Mebendazole as a combinatorial therapy appears a promising approach and forms the basis of the present work. We hypothesize that combinatorial therapy of addition of mebendazole to lenvatinib will prove more beneficial than lenvatinib alone in increasing the overall survival of patients with advanced HCC. To prove the mechanistic effects of mebendazole on HCC, we will also conduct a animal study in preclinical mice model of HCC with the help of our animal house facility. The animal study will help us to understand the additional benefits from mebendazole and lenvatinib with objective evidence of liver biopsy which is not feasible in humans.

Progressive and metastatic thyroid cancer patients, who no longer respond to radioactive iodine (RAI), are currently treated with long term tyrosine kinase inhibitors to control tumor growth. The investigators will study the effect of short term oral anti-cancer drug combination, called dabrafenib (BRAF inhibitor) and trametinib (MEK inhibitor), in improving thyroid cancer RAI absorption that can potentially lead to tumor shrinkage response. To assess for suitability, participant's thyroid cancer tissue taken at the time of surgery will be tested for DNA changes, such as BRAFV600E, RAS, or MEK mutations. Based on experimental studies, the response to these medications could occur within 1 week of treatment. So in the study, the investigators will find out whether participant's cancer would respond to 1 week of treatment with these medications rather than the 1 month duration of treatment in previous re-differentiation clinical trials. After 1 week of treatment with dabrafenib and trametinib, iodine absorption I-124 PET-CT scan will predict if the cancer will respond to RAI. If iodine absorption is insufficient on the scan, treatment with dabrafenib and trametinib will be continued for a total of 4 weeks. Then iodine absorption response of participant's cancer will be assessed on I-124 PET-CT scan again. If the iodine absorption is good at 1 week or 4 weeks, the investigators will treat the participant with thyroid cancer using RAI. The 1-week treatment regime can potentially save cost, avoid drug toxicity with prolonged treatment, and prevent drug resistance that can occur with longer treatment period.

The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of a combination of Camrelizumab and Apatinib regimen in treating recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients who have failed first-line platinum-based chemotherapy.

This is a multi-center, randomized, open-label, phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1 antibody Penpulimab (AK105) combined with chemotherapy ± anlotinib hydrochloride in the first-line treatment of patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of JAB-3068 administered in investigational regimens in adult participants with advanced solid tumors.

This is a phase II, single arm, open-label, single-center study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Surufatinib combined with Toripalimab in patients with peritoneal metastatic carcinoma of gastrointestinal or primary peritoneal cancer.
