Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms by Histologic Type"

The objectives of this study are to explore different dosing levels and schedules of entinostat in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors, in terms of safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), impact on immune correlatives, and efficacy

Endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is the technique of choice to evaluate solid gastrointestinal (GI) lesions. The tissue acquired using this technique is essential for diagnosis of diseases like sub-mucosal masses (GIST), lymphoma, autoimmune pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. Also the availability of adequate tissue will enable performance of molecular profiling and personalized oncologic therapy. The current needle used for tissue acquisition rarely provides tissue blocks needed for histology assessment. Hence, a better needle device with a good safety profile is needed to solve this technical difficulty. The new AcquireTM fine needle biopsy device could over come this difficulty because of its unique designs. The additional cutting edge surface allows better tissue access and provides core tissue (>90%) for histology. The safety profile of this new device is comparable to the conventional FNA needle thereby making it an ideal device for tissue acquisition.

This study will provide data on the performance of the BD SurePath Plus™ Pap test for identifying high grade cervical disease. This study will be conducted with approximately 12,500 women undergoing routine cervical cancer screening, of whom women with abnormal cytology and/or positive HPV test will be selected to undergo colposcopy and biopsy/ECC. Subjects with abnormal cytology results with biopsy results of less than or equal to CIN1 or CIN2 untreated will be asked to return in 6-8 months for follow-up testing. Subjects may be asked to proceed to a longer-term follow-up study and undergo cytological evaluation annually for 3 years (separate study).

Niraparib is an oral, potent and highly selective PARP1/2 inhibitor. It can be used as a single drug in HRD positive ovarian cancer patients for multi-line therapy. Bevacizumab is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody that inhibits tumor angiogenesis and is also recommended for the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer. Clinical studies showed that niraparib combined with bevacizumab could significantly prolong progression free survival of platinum sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer. We intend to conduct a single-arm, prospective, open-label, phase II study to observe the efficacy and safety of niraparib combined with bevacizumab in the treatment of FIGO III/IV platinum refractory/resistant ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer and primary peritoneal cancer. The results are expected to provide more effective and precise treatment for platinum resistant recurrent/refractory ovarian cancer patients.

PARP inhibitors have changed the treatment paradigm of ovarian cancer. Most patients using PARP(poly-ADP ribose polymerase) inhibitors will suffer different grades of adverse events(AEs), followed by dose reduction. It has not been reported whether the dose-reduced olaparib as maintenance treatment have an impact on efficacy. Both PAOLA-1 and AVANOVA 2 studies showed that combined PARP inhibitors and antiangiogenic drugs have synergistic anti-tumor effect. Anlotinib is a novel multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor that can inhibit VEGFR(vascular endothelial growth factor receptor), FGFR(fibroblast growth factor receptor), PDGFR(platelet-derived growth factor receptor) α/β, c-Kit, and Ret. And anlotinib has been approved as orphan drug designations for treatment of ovarian cancer by FDA in 2015. Previous studies showed that anlotinib had manageable toxicity and promising antitumor effect. Our study is expected to investigate the efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with dose-reduced olaparib as maintenance treatment in platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer patients.

Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is widely used for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the hypoxia caused by TACE in surviving tumor cell leads to release of angiogenic and growth factors contributing to poor outcome. Sorafenib can block tumor cell proliferation and angiogenesis. The hypothesis is that patients with unresectable HCC may benefit from sorafenib in combination with TACE.

The European VALHUDES study is a Clinical Performance /Diagnostic Test Accuracy Study that aims to evaluate whether HPV testing with new assays performed on self-samples, collected by means of a vaginal and a urine collection device is as accurate to detect cervical pre-cancer as on cliniciantaken cervical samples.

This is an expanded access program to provide vorasidenib for treatment of patients 12 years or older with IDH1- or IDH2-mutated glioma.

This is an external control, observational, retrospective study designed to compare clinical outcomes for pralsetinib compared with best available therapy for patients with RET-fusion positive advanced NSCLC.

The aim of this study is to determine whether greater rectal cancer downstaging and regression occurs when surgery is delayed to 12 weeks after completion of radiotherapy/chemotherapy compared to 6 weeks. Hypothesis: Greater downstaging and tumour regression is observed when surgery is delayed to 12 weeks after completion of CRT compared to 6 weeks.
