Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms, Squamous Cell"

This study is to evaluate disease control rate (DCR) at 8 weeks of BKM120 administered as therapy for patient with recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Nimotuzumab is an IgG1 humanized monoclonal antibody that recognized an epitope located in the extra cellular domain of the human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Clinical efficacy has been shown in adult with head and neck cancer. The study assessed the safety and efficacy of different dosage of Nimotuzumab in second or late- line treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinomas.

This is an open-label, randomized, controlled trial. At the end of a 28-day screening period, all eligible subjects will be randomly assigned into treatment Arm A or B in a 1:1 ratio. Subjects in Arm A will receive a maximum of 6 cycles of chemotherapy (cisplatin plus paclitaxel) and cetuximab weekly in the absence of progressive disease (PD), as assessed by the Investigator, and unacceptable toxicity. After 6 cycles of treatment, subjects who derive clinical benefit will continue treatment with cetuximab as monotherapy until either PD or unacceptable toxicity. Subjects in Arm B will receive the same chemotherapy regimen as Arm A alone for a maximum of 6 cycles in the absence of PD and unacceptable toxicity.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Camrelizumab or Camrelizumab plus chemotherapy in patients with untreated, advanced ESCC with PD-L1 CPS≥10 ,who have been achieved PR and CR after treated with Camrelizumab.

Cutaneous Squamous Cell Cancer (Cscc, 25%) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC; 75%) are the major subtypes of non-melanoma skin cancer. Most cSCC arise in the head and neck region because it is frequently exposed to sunlight and its ensuing UV radiation-induced DNA damage, which is the major etiologic factor. There is an urgent need to identify new therapeutic targets for patients with locally advanced or metastatic squamous Cell Cancer of the skin. Substantial progress has recently been made in the development of immunotherapy for the treatment of cancer. In particular, the treatment with pembrolizumab alone or in conjunction with an anti epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) agent may reverse this condition, so performing radical surgery. Finally, the adjunct of an anti EGFR agent as cetuximab could reverse the primary and secondary resistance to pembrolizumab, with a synergistic effect able to counteract pathway redundancy (i.e. the presence of several concurrent pathways which need to be addressed together) and boosting T cell priming. Hence, there is rationale to combine cetuximab with pembrolizumab in order to increase its effectiveness.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS) of Chemotherapy combined with SHR-1316 in patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer.

Patients with previously untreated advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma are recruited to this prospective non-randomized study comprising two separate cohorts. Patients will receive SHR-1210, a novel anti-PD-1 antibody, with apatinib and either irinotecan or paclitaxel liposome plus nedaplatin. The primary endpoint is to determine the objective response rate (ORR) of patients in both cohorts. The regimen(s) of promising efficacy will be further verified in subsequent randomized studies to define the optimal combination of immunotherapy, anti-angiogenesis and chemotherapy in advanced esophageal cancer patients.

We conduct the clinical trial to further explore the efficacy and safety of Apatinib combined with chemotherapy in treating recurrent or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after the failure of conventional treatments.

Metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinomas have poor prognosis and majority of patients resistant to chemotherapy in China. In the investigators phase II clinical trial proceeded before, the combination of paclitaxel with cisplatin showed good tolerance and efficacy to esophageal squamous cell carcinomas. Radiotherapy has been indicated as a definitive treatment for unresectable or medically inoperable tumors in ESCC patients. However, not only the combination with chemotherapy, but also the boundaries of the clinical target volume (CTV) are not internationally defined. The investigators then initiated a prospective phase II clinical trial with sequential paclitaxel/cisplatin and radiotherapy as the 1st line treatment in metastatic esophageal carcinoma to observe the efficacy and safety of the combination.

Elderly patients with metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinomas have poor prognosis and majority of them were intolerable to combined chemotherapy in China. In the investigators phase II clinical trial proceeded before, the paclitaxel treatment showed good tolerance and efficacy to esophageal squamous cell carcinomas. Radiotherapy has been indicated as a definitive treatment for unresectable or medically inoperable tumors in ESCC patients. However, not only the combination with chemotherapy, but also the boundaries of the clinical target volume (CTV) are not internationally defined. The investigators then initiated a prospective phase II clinical trial with sequential paclitaxel/cisplatin and radiotherapy as the 1st line treatment in elderly metastatic esophageal carcinoma to observe the efficacy and safety of the combination.
