Active clinical trials for "Paranasal Sinus Neoplasms"

This phase II trial studies how well celecoxib works through surgery and radiation therapy in treating patients with head and neck cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Celecoxib is Food and Drug Administration approved to treat arthritis, acute pain, and painful menstrual periods. Adding celecoxib to standard of care treatment may help to decrease the amount of time between surgery and radiation therapy.

Patients with locoregional cancer of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are candidate for this study. All the eligible patients receive three cycles of induction chemotherapy (docetaxel 60mg/m2+cisplatin 60mg/m2+5-FU2.5g/m2,civ48h, q3w) followed by concurrent two cycles of cisplatin (80mg/m2,q3w) with curative intensity modulated radiotherapy. Besides, camrelizumab (200mg) is administrated every three weeks for a total of 11 cycles since the first day of induction chemotherapy. We aim to evaluate the three years failure free survival of these patients by the combination of camrelizumab with curative radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

This phase II trial studies how well docetaxel, cisplatin and fluorouracil work in treating patients with previously untreated stage II-IV nasal cavity and/or paranasal sinus cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, cisplatin and fluorouracil, 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.

Soft tissue sarcoma (STS) refers to a group of malignant tumors derived from non-epithelial extraosseous tissues, mainly from the mesoderm, partly from the neuroectoderm, including muscle, fat, fibrous tissue, blood vessels and peripheral nerves . STS is divided into 12 major categories based on tissue origin. According to different morphologies and biological behaviors, there are more than 50 subtypes. The most common subtypes include: undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS), liposarcoma (LPS), leiomyosarcoma (LMS), synovial sarcoma ( SS). The most common soft tissue sarcoma in children and adolescents is rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). Soft tissue sarcoma is a group of highly heterogeneous tumors, which are characterized by local invasiveness, invasive or destructive growth, local recurrence and distant metastasis. The pathological features of STS that occur in the nasal cavity and sinuses are similar to other parts of the body. However, because it can affect important structures such as the orbit, optic nerve, skull base bone, dura mater, cranial nerve and even brain tissue, the diseased site is deep, the anatomical structure is complex, the treatment is difficult, the range of surgical resection is limited, and the surgical margin Negative is difficult to guarantee, and related treatments may have obvious complications, which affect the survival and prognosis of patients. Surgical treatment is the most important and most likely effective treatment for STS. With the development of endoscopic skull base anatomy and surgical techniques, the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic sinus surgery for the treatment of nasal cavity and sinus tumors have been fully confirmed, and it has become the main surgical method for nasal cavity and sinus STS. This is also the theoretical and practical basis for the feasibility of this research. The study intends to conduct a single-arm, prospective, observational study of endoscopic sinus surgery for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses to explore the therapeutic effect and complications of endoscopic surgery for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, and explore its relationship with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The model of comprehensive treatment between.

Cancer care for head and neck cancers is multidisciplinary and complex and knowledge on the rare ones is limited. There is a wide consensus that to support clinical research on rare cancers, clinical registries should be developed within networks specializing in rare cancers. Our hypothesis is that our head and neck cancer registry established in the framework of the European reference network on rare adults solid cancers will help to: describe the natural history of rare head and neck cancers; evaluate factors that influence prognosis; assess treatment effectiveness; measure indicators of quality of care. The registry is a prospective observational real-world registry. It collects data from already available registries/database and/or directly from expert health care providers (HCP). Information are prospectively collected on patient characteristics; exposure, outcomes and potential confounders (https://euracan.eu/research/starter/rare-head-and-neck-cancer-registry/#codebook). The registry if federated (i.e. data are stored by the data provider). Analyses will be performed using the federated learning approach which split computations into a local part and a central part. The data providers will share sub-computations only. Data quality checks are envisioned to assess whether data value are present, valid and believable. Validity and plausibility checks are embedded in the electronic case report form (CRF) in the form of alerts and errors during the data input. Additional checks are implemented in R and run using the federated learning to ensure a central data quality monitoring. The data analyses will include descriptive statistics showing frequency and patterns of patients' and cancers' variables; analytical analyses investigating the association of patients/disease and/or treatment characteristics and health outcomes. Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori (INT) is the coordinator of the EURACAN registry as well as a data provider. At the INT, and at each HCP involved, responsible investigators ensure that the EURACAN registry will be implemented in compliance with the protocol, following the instructions and procedures described herein. Each HCP is a controller and will identify a data processor. The processing of patients' personal data taking part in the registry is compliant with local privacy legislation and the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 of the EU.

The iCaRe2 is a multi-institutional resource created and maintained by the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center to collect and manage standardized, multi-dimensional, longitudinal data and biospecimens on consented adult cancer patients, high-risk individuals, and normal controls. The distinct characteristic of the iCaRe2 is its geographical coverage, with a significant percentage of small and rural hospitals and cancer centers. The iCaRe2 advances comprehensive studies of risk factors of cancer development and progression and enables the design of novel strategies for prevention, screening, early detection and personalized treatment of cancer. Centers with expertise in cancer epidemiology, genetics, biology, early detection, and patient care can collaborate by using the iCaRe2 as a platform for cohort and population studies.

The endoscope is a device placed into the nasal cavity to remove chronic sinus disease or tumor or create access into the skullbase for extensive tumor removal. Indocyanine Green (ICG) is a dye that is injected through an intravenous site and is used to light up vasculature and margins of a tumor during surgery. This helps avoid damage to important vasculature and obtain clear margins during surgery. This study aims to further assess the utility of ICG when operating within the nasal cavity or skullbase.

This phase I trial studies how well talactoferrin works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or squamous cell head and neck cancer. Biological therapies, such as talactoferrin, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing

This pilot research trial studies circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in predicting outcomes in patients with stage IV head and neck cancer or stage III-IV non-small cell lung cancer. Studying circulating tumor DNA from patients with head and neck or lung cancer in the laboratory may help doctors predict how well patients will respond to treatment.

Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of intratumoral (in the tumor) PV701 in treating patients who have advanced or recurrent unresectable squamous cell carcinoma (cancer) of the head and neck. Vaccines made from a specially-modified virus such as PV701 may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells while leaving normal cells undamaged. Injecting PV701 directly into the tumor may cause a stronger immune response and kill more tumor cells
