Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

This phase I trial studies the side effects of pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) in treating patients with ovarian, uterine, appendiceal, stomach (gastric), or colorectal cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdominal cavity (peritoneal carcinomatosis). Chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin, doxorubicin, oxaliplatin, leucovorin, fluorouracil, mitomycin, and irinotecan, 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. PIPAC is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the administration of intraperitoneal chemotherapy. The study device consists of a nebulizer (a device that turns liquids into a fine mist), which is connected to a high-pressure injector, and inserted into the abdomen (part of the body that contains the digestive organs) during a laparoscopic procedure (a surgery using small incisions to introduce air and to insert a camera and other instruments in the abdominal cavity for diagnosis and/or to perform routine surgical procedures). Pressurization of the liquid chemotherapy through the study device results in aerosolization (a fine mist or spray) of the chemotherapy intra-abdominally (into the abdomen). Giving chemotherapy through PIPAC may reduce the amount of chemotherapy needed to achieve acceptable drug concentration, and therefore potentially reduces side effects and toxicities.

This clinical trial will evaluate a new combination of pembrolizumab, HPV-16 E6/E7 specific therapeutic vaccination (ISA101b) and cisplatin-based chemoradiotherapy for patients with newly diagnosed, local-regionally advanced, intermediate risk HPV-associated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

In this Phase II trial of personalized immunotherapy in R/M HNSCC, gene expression of LAG3 and CTLA4 by RNA seq will be determined to select the appropriate agent (Ipilimumab or Relatlimab) to add to Nivolumab in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (R/M HNSCC) who have failed prior immunotherapy with anti-PD-1 or PD-L1 mAb therapy. The agent, either Ipilimumab or Relatlimab will be chosen based on the highest relevant immune gene expression (CTLA4 or LAG-3) as long as the minimum difference required is met.

This study evaluates the addition of Tenofovir and Entecavir in the treatment of Hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma after curative resection in adults. Half of participants will receive Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, while the other half will receive Entecavir.

The purpose of this research study is to see if it is feasible to receive heated chemotherapy or heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) inserted directly into the abdomen at the time of a Second Look Reassessment Surgery and to monitor any effects good or bad that this has on participants' health.

This is an prospective, interventional, non-randomized multicenter phase II study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of Cabozantinib as a second-line therapy (after one prior systemic therapy) in patients with intermediate to advanced HCC (BCLC B/C) and concomitant impaired liver function CP score B7-8. Subjects who meet all study eligibility criteria will receive Cabozantinib 40 mg daily orally. Subjects will receive Cabozantinib as long as they continue to experience clinical benefit in the opinion of the Investigator or until there is unacceptable toxicity or the need for subsequent systemic anti-cancer treatment or liver directed local anti-cancer therapy. Treatment may continue in this fashion after radiographic progression as long as the Investigator believes that the subject is still receiving clinical benefit from Cabozantinib and that the potential benefit of continuing Cabozantinib outweighs potential risk. In addition, all subjects will be treated with best supportive care. This excludes systemic anti-cancer therapy and liver-directed local anti-cancer therapy.

To verify the role of nab-paclitaxel in neoadjuvant therapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, the investigators designed a prospective, randomized, controlled , multicente phase II trial, to investigate the efficacy and safety of nab-paclitaxel combined with cisplatin as neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgery versus surgery alone for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

This phase II trial studies how well the combination of avelumab with liposomal doxorubicin with or without binimetinib, or the combination of avelumab with sacituzumab govitecan works in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer that is stage IV or is not able to be removed by surgery (unresectable) and has come back (recurrent). Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors like avelumab require activation of the patient's immune system. This trial includes a two week induction or lead-in of medications that can stimulate the immune system. It is our hope that this induction will improve the response to immunotherapy with avelumab. One treatment, sacituzumab Govitecan, is a monoclonal antibody called sacituzumab linked to a chemotherapy drug called SN-38. Sacituzumab govitecan is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of tumor cells, known as Tumor-associated calcium signal transducer 2 (TROP2) receptors, and delivers SN-38 to kill them. Another treatment, liposomal doxorubicin, is a form of the anticancer drug doxorubicin that is contained in very tiny, fat-like particles. It may have fewer side effects and work better than doxorubicin, and may enhance factors associated with immune response. The third medication is called binimetinib, which may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth, and may help activate the immune system. It is not yet known whether giving avelumab in combination with liposomal doxorubicin with or without binimetinib, or the combination of avelumab with sacituzumab govitecan will work better in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer.

This ia a single-arm, single-center, not-randomized, open-label phase II study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sintilimab (PD-1 antibody) combined with Lenvatinib(TKI) for the treatment of local advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.

The objective is to investigate the efficacy and safety of four cycles of ddMVAC with G-CSF support in patients with MIBC and locally advanced UC
