Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver cancer. Hepatectomy is a curable and effective method. However, the recurrence rate is as high as 50%~70% in 5 years after surgery. Perioperative treatment with immunotherapy combined with target therapy is expected to improve the patient's prognosis. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of camrelizumab combined with apatinib mesylate in the perioperative period of resectable hepatocellular carcinoma. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the rate of subjects with major pathological response and 3-year event-free survival (EFS) of camrelizumab combined with apatinib mesylate in the perioperative period of hepatocellular carcinoma (CNLC Ib-IIIa). The secondary research purpose is to evaluate the R0 resection rate, the rate of subjects with pathological complete response, EFS, overall survival and disease-free survival of camrelizumab combined with apatinib mesylate in the perioperative period of resectable hepatocellular carcinoma. The safety and tolerability is also evaluated.

This phase II trial studies if talazoparib works in patients with cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced) and has mutation(s) in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage response genes who have or have not already been treated with another PARP inhibitor. Talazoparib is an inhibitor of PARP, a protein that helps repair damaged DNA. Blocking PARP may help keep cancer cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy. All patients who take part on this study must have a gene aberration that changes how their tumors are able to repair DNA. This trial may help scientists learn whether some patients might benefit from taking different PARP inhibitors "one after the other" and learn how talazoparib works in treating patients with advanced cancer who have aberration in DNA repair genes.

The aim of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of cabozantinib in the management of unresectable or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with underlying Child-Pugh class B cirrhosis.

This is a single-center, open-label, non-randomized, uncontrolled Phase 1 study of intraperitoneal docetaxel in combination with systemic mFOLFOX6 for patients who have gastric cancer with gross peritoneal carcinomatosis (GC-PC).

The investigators plan to prospectively study breast tissue changes after a short course of Tamoxifen (Tam).

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second commonest cause of cancer death worldwide. Liver transplantation (LT) is the best curative treatment of HCC meeting Milan/UCSF criteria. Milan (solitary tumour <5cm, or up to 3 tumours, each <3cm) and University of California San Francisco (UCSF) criteria (solitary tumour ≤6.5cm, up to 3 tumours with none >4.5cm, and total tumour diameter ≤8cm) provide the benchmark requirements for LT, at which a 5-year survival of >70% and recurrence rate ranging from 5-15% can be achieved. Recently, FOLFOX (Oxaliplatin and 5-fluorouracil) based hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) exhibited high response rate for advanced HCC. Neo-adjuvant TAI for the HCC patients with beyond criteria serving as a down-staging method for the advanced HCC to meet Milan/UCSF criteria，and qualify for LT. This study is to compare the impact on survival of neo-adjuvant TAI for patients with beyond Milan/UCSF Criteria HCC who underwent LT.

This study is being done to look at how effective the drug, atezolizumab, with or without the drug bevacizumab, is for people with inoperable liver cancer or non-small lung cancer that has spread to the liver. This will be done by looking at the duration of time from starting the study drug(s) until the cancer worsens in study participants. This study will collect blood and tumor tissue samples from participants to look at changes to their tumor(s) before and after receiving atezolizumab and/or bevacizumab.

Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) in gastric cancer (GC) is considered a fatal disease, without expectation of definitive cure. Since conventional surgery is not indicated in the palliative setting, and systemic chemotherapy treatments are not sufficient to contain the disease, a multimodal approach associating intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy (CMT) with surgery may represent an alternative for these patients. IP CMT has shown superior results to conventional treatment in patients at this stage of the disease, and can achieve complete regression of lesions in a significant portion of cases. Once response to treatment is achieved, patients become fit for curative surgery, which offers a new perspective on the survival in these previously unresectable cases, and raising survival rates to similar levels to patients undergoing surgery with curative intention. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the complete response rate and curative resection in patients with PC by GC at Instituto do Cancer do Estado de São Paulo (ICESP) treated with IP CMT. Patients prospectively included in the study will undergo implantation of a peritoneum catheter to perform outpatient IP CMT in order to promote the regression of lesions. Those with complete regression may be referred for surgical treatment, curing a portion of these patients. The diagnosis of PC will be performed by conventional cytological, immunohistochemical and liquid cytology methods to determine the presence of tumor cells in the peritoneal lavage and to evaluate the sensitivity of the methods. In addition, it is proposed in the study the storage of material for further study of circulating markers in peripheral blood and peritoneal lavage that may be related to response or resistance to treatment. It is believed that IP CMT may not only increase the survival of patients with PC, but also offer the possibility of cure for a significant portion of patients who are currently without treatment prospects and with a median survival of only six months.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and preliminary antitumor activity of TYRA-300 in cancers with FGFR3 activating gene alterations, including locally advanced/metastatic urothelial carcinoma of the bladder and urinary tract and other advanced solid tumors.

The purpose of this research study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of two standard of care treatments in people who have been diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).This research study is being done to compare atezolizumab/bevacizumab to locoregional therapy with either transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) or transarterial radioembolization (TARE).
