Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Squamous Cell"

This early-phase trial tests the safety and side effects of a tolinapant given together with radiation therapy in treating patients with head and neck cancer for which the patient has not received treatment in the past (previously untreated), has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) and cannot receive cisplatin (cisplatin-ineligible). Tolinapant may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving tolinapant and radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.

Following basal cell carcinoma, Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (CSCC) is the most common skin cancer and its incidence remains on a steady rise. The vast majority of CSCC lesions are treated with surgical resection and have a cure rate exceeding 90 percent in early-stage disease. In stark contrast, the 5-year overall survival rate is below 50% for locally advanced patients and less than 10 percent for those with distant metastases. Although the commonly used cisplatin-based combination chemotherapies may achieve an overall response rate of up to 80%, the efficacy is usually not durable. Moreover, the use of chemotherapy is limited due to the many adverse events, especially in elderly patients, who are the largest population of concern for CSCC. The purpose of this study was to assess safety, efficacy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic CSCC given HLX07 (Recombinant Humanized Anti-EGFR Monoclonal Antibody Injection).

This phase I trial tests the safety and tolerability of an experimental personalized vaccine when given by itself and with pembrolizumab in treating patients with solid tumor cancers that have spread to other places in the body (advanced). The experimental vaccine is designed target certain proteins (neoantigens) on individuals' tumor cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving the personalized neoantigen peptide-based vaccine with pembrolizumab may be safe and effective in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.

This is a multi-center, open-label Phase 2 study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BA3021 in PD-1/L1 failure patients with ROR-2 expression in recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

This is a first-in-human, open-label, multi-center, Phase 1/2, dose-escalation study with expansion cohorts to evaluate NM21-1480 for safety and immunogenicity, to determine the maximal tolerated dose and recommended Phase 2 dose, define the pharmacokinetics, to explore the pharmacodynamics, and to obtain preliminary evidence of the clinical activity in adult patients with selected advanced solid tumors.

This phase 3 trial compares the addition of nivolumab to chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) versus usual treatment (chemotherapy alone) for the treatment of anal cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). 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. Chemotherapy drugs, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, 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 nivolumab together with carboplatin and paclitaxel may help doctors find out if the treatment is better or the same as the usual approach.

This is a Phase II treatment, non-randomized, open label clinical trial to study the efficacy of the Cetuximab when administered as single agent in recurrent/ metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma after the failure or intolerance of immuno-oncology or immuno-oncology combined with chemotherapy.

This trial will look at a drug called SGN-B6A alone and with pembrolizumab, with or without chemotherapy, to find out whether it is safe for people who have solid tumors. It will study SGN-B6A to find out what its side effects are. A side effect is anything the drug does besides treating cancer. It will also study whether SGN-B6A works to treat solid tumors. The study will have four parts. Part A of the study will find out how much SGN-B6A should be given to participants. Part B will use the dose found in Part A to find out how safe SGN-B6A is and if it works to treat solid tumors. Part C of the study will find out how safe SGN-B6A is in combination with these other drugs. Part D will include people who have not received treatment. This part of the study will find out how safe SGN-B6A is in combination with these other drugs and if these combinations work to treat solid tumors. In Parts C and D, participants will receive SGN-B6A with either: Pembrolizumab or, Pembrolizumab and carboplatin, or Pembrolizumab and cisplatin.

Surgical resection is currently the major treatment for esophageal carcinoma while disease progression still occurred in most cases within 3 years. The rate of local recurrence and distant metastases could reach nearly 40% to 60%. The neoadjuvant chemotherapy could significantly improve resection rate and overall survival after surgery. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common histology in Asia. JCOG9907 trial performed in Japan confirmed that compared to surgery plus adjuvant chemotherapy, the combination of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery could further prolong overall survival. The regimen of cisplatin and fluorouracil is a classic effective option in combination therapy for esophageal carcinoma. Nanoparticle albumin-bound (nab)-paclitaxel is a novel taxane and has better efficacy in esophageal carcinoma treatment. We try to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with nab-paclitaxel plus cisplatin and capecitabine for locally advanced thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients.

To investigate the safety and activity of preoperative pembrolizumab combined with chemoradiotherapy for resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) ,20 patients enrolled in Phase Ib PALACE-1(NCT03792347).The results showed that preoperative pembrolizumab with concurrent chemoradiotherapy was safe, did not delay surgery and induced a pCR in 55.6% of resected tumors. In this multicentre prospective study(PALACE-2),the investigators will evaluate the efficacy of preoperative pembrolizumab with concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
