Filter by:3CAR is being done to investigate an immunotherapy for patients with solid tumors. It is a Phase I clinical trial evaluating the use of autologous T cells genetically engineered to express B7-H3-CARs for patients ≤ 21 years old, with relapsed/refractory B7-H3+ solid tumors. This study will evaluate the safety and maximum tolerated dose of B7-H3-CAR T cells.The purpose of this study is to find the maximum (highest) dose of B7-H3-CAR T cells that are safe to give to patients with B7-H3-positive solid tumors. Primary objective To determine the safety of one intravenous infusion of autologous, B7-H3-CAR T cells in patients (≤ 21 years) with recurrent/refractory B7-H3+ solid tumors after lymphodepleting chemotherapy Secondary objective To evaluate the antitumor activity of B7-H3-CAR T cells Exploratory objectives - To evaluate the tumor environment after treatment with B7-H3-CAR T cells - To assess the immunophenotype, clonal structure and endogenous repertoire of B7-H3-CAR T cells and unmodified T cells - To characterize the cytokine profile in the peripheral blood after treatment with B7-H3-CAR T cells
Metastasis is the main cause of death in cancer patients and often epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is advocated as the basic mechanism. Recently Fang and colleagues described an EMT-independent process of metastasis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC): endothelium covers small cluster of tumor cells allowing tumor dissemination. This process of angiogenesis, named VETC (vessels that encapsulate tumor clusters) in HCC literature, has been described under different names in other cancer types. Furthermore, the investigators confirmed the negative impact of VETC on patients' prognosis on a large multicenter cohort of HCCs. Moreover, Fang et al demonstrated that patients affected by VETC-positive HCC benefit more from sorafenib therapy. Interestingly, this type of angiogenesis was also found in renal cell carcinoma, adrenal gland pheochromocytoma, thyroid follicular carcinoma and alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) and associated to prognosis. Moreover, the distinction between benign and malignant neoplasms of the adrenal gland is a complex matter, being the established criteria still lacking a strong reproducibility. Several tyrosine kinase inhibitors are available for different cancer types; among them, HCC, RCC, ASPS, and TC may benefit from the so-called antiangiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitors (aTKI) (such as sunitinib, sorafenib, pazopanib). A general (histotype-independent) validation of the prognostic role of VETC is missing. Moreover, inhibitors of tyrosine-kinase vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR-TKI), represent an effective treatment for different cancer types, but predictive markers are still needed. In addition, novel systemic immunotherapy agents are being approved in many cancer types, as alternative to angiogenesis inhibitors. A broader frame including metastatic mechanisms, tumor microenvironment (TME, i.e. angiogenesis and immune infiltrate) and treatment response could answer to several needs currently unmet. Bayesian networks and causal models can be employed to effectively draw conclusions from retrospective data. The aim of the present study is to investigate in patients with RCC and adrenal carcinoma (AC) the VETC-expression on tumor tissue, correlating the results with clinical data, patients characteristics, and outcome.
Background: Adrenocortical cancer (ACC) is a rare tumor. The prognosis is very poor for people with advanced stages of ACC. Some people may live with ACC for years; others live for just months. Treatment options for ACC often do not work well. Researchers want to study the clinical course of the disease. They want to understand how adrenocortical cancer appear on imaging scans, how they respond to therapies, and the best treatment for them. Objective: To gain a better understanding of adrenal cancer. Eligibility: People ages 2 and older with ACC who are enrolled in NCI protocol 19-C-0016 Design: Participants will be screened with a review of their medical records, tumor scans, and cancer test results and reports. Participants may have CT and other scans. For the scans, they will lie in a machine that takes pictures of the body. They may have blood tests. They may have a 24-hour urine collection. They may be asked to sign a new consent form for some of these tests. Participants will complete paper or electronic surveys. The surveys will ask about the effects of cancer on their emotional, physical, and behavioral well-being. Participants will receive recommendations about how to manage their issues and potential treatment options for their cancer. Participants home physician will be contacted every 6 to 12 months to collect medical information such as test results and scans. Participants may be asked to return to the NIH every 6 to 12 months for follow-up tests. Participants will contact study staff if there are any changes in their tumor. Participants will be followed on this study for life.
This study will investigate the safety and efficacy of Relacorilant in combination with Pembrolizumab for Patients with Adrenocortical Carcinoma which Produces Too Much Stress Hormone (Cortisol).
Background: Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare cancer. It has a poor prognosis. Some people live with ACC for years; others live for just months. The average survival from the time of diagnosis is 14.5 months. Researchers do not know if local directed treatments may work better than systemic ones. They want to learn more about ACC by looking at data from previous studies. Objective: To characterize the overall prognosis and treatment responses in people with ACC with various systemic therapies and correlate them with age, sex, race, and disease burden. Eligibility: People with ACC enrolled on any of the following studies: 92-C-0268, 93-C-0200, 00-C-0044, 01-C-0129, 04-C-0011, 09-C-0242, 08-C-0176, 10-C-0203, 13-C-0114, and 14-C-0029 Design: Study researchers will review participants medical records. They will collect the following data: Medical record numbers Demographics (such as age, sex, and race) Treatments (such as surgeries, radiology procedures, and systemic treatments) Time of disease progression between treatments and genetic/molecular data (if available) Time of diagnosis/time of death. All data will be kept in secure network drives or sites. Participants who opted out of future use of data on their prior studies will be not be included in this study....
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare aggressive malignant tumor. According to the literature, the 5-year survival rate of ACC is 12%-47%. For patients with advanced ACC, mitotane alone or combined with traditional chemotherapy was the first-line standard treatment, but its progression-free survival was only about 1 year. However, for patients who fail the first-line treatment, there is a lack of effective treatment. For ACC patients who had failed first-line chemotherapy, a phase II clinical trial found that the objective response rate and the disease control rate of PD-1 inhibitor Keytruda were 14% and 64% respectively, and no grade 3 or 4 adverse events were observed. Anti-tumor angiogenic drugs combined with PD-1 inhibitors have shown impressive clinical data in many solid tumors. This study is aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PD-1 inhibitor camrelizumab combined with apatinib in patients with recurrent or metastatic ACC after standard treatment failure, and to seek new treatment for this population.
This is a multicenter, Phase 1/2, First-In-Human study to assess the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and preliminary efficacy of EO2401 in Metastatic Adrenocortical Carcinoma, or Malignant Pheochromocytoma/Paraganglioma.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of modified immune cells (IL13Ralpha2 CAR T cells) after a chemotherapy conditioning regimen for the treatment of patients with stage IIIC or IV melanoma. The study agent is called IL13Ralpha2 CAR T cells. T cells are a special type of white blood cell (immune cells) that have the ability to kill tumor cells. The T cells are obtained from the patients own blood, grown in a laboratory, and modified by adding the IL13Ralpha2 CAR gene. The IL13Ralpha2 CAR gene is inserted into T cells with a virus called a lentivirus. The lentivirus allows cells to make the IL13Ralpha2 CAR protein. This CAR has been designed to bind to a protein on the surface of tumor cells called IL13Ralpha2. This study is being done to determine the dose at which the gene-modified immune cells are safe, how long the cells stay in the body, and if the cells are able to attack the cancer.
This is a first-in-human Phase 1/2, non-randomized, multi-centre, open-label clinical study designed to investigate safety, tolerability, PK, and preliminary anti-tumour activity of [225Ac]-FPI-1434 (radioimmuno-therapeutic agent) in patients with solid tumours that demonstrate uptake of [111In]-FPI-1547 (radioimmuno-imaging agent), and to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of repeat doses of [225Ac]-FPI-1434 Injection in patients with solid tumours that demonstrate uptake of [111In]-FPI-1547 (radioimmuno-imaging agent).
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare endocrine malignancy. Despite complete resection of early-stage disease recurrence rates in ACC are very high (60%.70%). Patients with Ki67 ≥ 10% are considered at high risk for ACC recurrence, whereas patients with Ki67<10% are considered to have low/intermediate risk for recurrence. No study are ongoing on adjuvant systemic therapy in ACC patients that are at high risk of relapse. These patients represent 70-80% of all ACC radically operated. In this setting mitotane is widely prescribed. The efficacy of mitotane is known to be dependent on the attainment of serum drug levels in the so called therapeutic range that is above 14 mg/l. However, ACC patients with high relapse risk may develop disease recurrence before mitotane serum levels attain the target concentration. Chemotherapy with cisplatin containing regimen was shown to be efficacious in the management of ACC in few phase II trials. Based on the background, there is a strong rationale of administering chemotherapy in radically operated ACC patients with high risk of relapse defined as follows: stage I-III ACC (according to the ENSAT classification) with either microscopically complete resection (R0), microscopically positive margins (R1), or undetermined margins (RX) and Ki67≥10% (for a further definition of this condition, see the study population paragraph). In clinical practice, adjuvant mitotane alone or cisplatin-based chemotherapy or the combination of both are used worldwide in patients at high risk of relapse, but there is no prospective validation of these treatments. The investigators will test the efficacy of the combination of cisplatin plus etoposide (plus/minus mitotane according to the investigator preference) in comparison with the actual best routine practice consisting of mitotane or no therapy (according to the personal belief of clinical investigator). This study is parto of the international trial registry ADIUVO-2 coordinated by MD Anderson Center of Huston (Texas).
