Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

This is a phase II, non-randomized, open-label, single-arm, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MK-3475 in patients with ovarian squamous cell carcinoma.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) plus antiangiogenic agents can achieve better efficacy than sorafenib in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) within a certain period of time, but more than half of the patients are still insensitive to the treatment. There is no evidence-based basis for second-line treatment after the progression of the disease.In view of the effectiveness of Hepatic arterial infusion (HAIC) in the first-line treatment of HCC in the Chinese population, this study intends to launch a prospective intervention study to explore the efficacy and safety of HAIC treatment in patients with advanced HCC after the failure of ICIs and antiangiogenic agents combination therapy, and to provide high-level evidence for optimizing the second-line treatment of advanced HCC in the future.

The effectiveness and safety of fully covered metal stent in malignant biliary obstruction caused by HCC are still unknown. These would be clarified in this prospective cohort study.

This phase II trial studies the side effects of chemotherapy and intensity modulated radiation therapy in treating patients with low-risk HIV-associated anal cancer, and nivolumab after standard of care chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with high-risk HIV-associated anal cancer. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Chemotherapy drugs, such as mitomycin, fluorouracil, and capecitabine, 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. Giving chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving nivolumab after standard of care chemotherapy and radiation therapy may help reduce the risk of the tumor coming back.

Previous work suggests that topical treatment with 33% hydrogen peroxide can reduce lesion size and, in about half of patients, can cause complete pathologic response. For patients with reduction in lesions size, the required size of the surgical excision or radiation field will be similarly decreased, thus potentially limiting associated morbidity and better cosmetic outcomes. Additionally, patients that experience a complete pathological response will be able to avoid additional treatment with either surgery or radiation. This will benefit both patients as well as helping to decreased use of health care resources. For the current study we will be using 30% hydrogen peroxide as it is commercially available. If this study shows positive results, it could lead to significant benefit on both a patient and systems level. Locally, our cancer Centre treats approximately 700 new patients per year who fit into the study criteria and could potentially benefit from this novel neoadjuvant treatment that is fairly inexpensive.

This multi-center, open label phase II clinical study is performed in patients with recurrent metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck progressed on prior anti-PD-1 mab ± platinum-based chemotherapy. This study is investigating the safety and efficacy of SI-B001 as a single agent in patients.

Open-label, non-randomized, phase II multi-centre controlled clinical trial. 51 non-resectable stage IIIA-IIIB non-small cell lung cancer patients will be enrolled in this trial to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment (Atezolizumab + Induction chemotherapy (CT) + CT-Radiotherapy) in terms of the Progression Free Survival at 12 months

TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist is an investigational drug being developed for treatment of locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. This Phase 1/2 study will evaluate TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist as monotherapy or in combination with pembrolizumab in dose escalation and dose expansion. Participants will receive intratumoral (IT) injection of TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist every cycle. The primary objectives are to evaluate safety and tolerability, and define the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist alone or in combination with pembrolizumab.

This is a phase II study to determine the safety and efficacy of tislelizumab when given in combination with nab-paclitaxel as treatment for patients with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (HR NMIBC) which is not completely resectable. Patients will receive treatment with tislelizumab in combination with nab-paclitaxel every 3 weeks for 4 treatment cycles over 12 weeks followed by transurethral resection biopsy.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the sixth most common cancer in men and the eighth in women in the USA. In Italy RCC incidence was 11500 new cases in 2017, while mortality was 3371 cases in 2015. Increasing evidence suggests that response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), a novel treatment for advanced RCC (aRCC) and other epithelial tumors, can be influenced by the patient gut microbiota. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a novel therapeutic option based on the restoration of healthy gut microbiota, and is the most effective therapy for recurrent C. difficile infection, and preliminary nonrandomized findings show that FMT is able to improve efficacy of ICIs in patients with advanced melanoma. The aim of this study is to evaluate, through a randomized controlled trial, the efficacy of targeted FMT (from donors who are responding to ICI. in improving response rates to ICIs in subjects with aRCC.
