Filter by:This study is a FIH dose escalation clinical study, with single arm, open label and design, in order to observe the preliminary safety and Pharmacokinetic of SNC115 Injection in participants with Recurrent/refractory small cell lung cancer and Lung large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma.
Histology transformation from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to neuroendocrine carcinomas (NEC), especially from epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutant lung adenocarcinoma (LADC) to small cell lung cancer (SCLC), is widely recognized as a rare mechanism for NSCLC to confer tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) resistance. The probability of its occurrence is about 3-14% in NSCLC patients who are resistant to TKI treatment. In addition to EGFR mutations, NSCLC patients carrying ALK/ROS1 mutations and receiving corresponding TKI treatment may also experience NEC transformation(NET). In a previous study [Pubmed ID: 35609408], the investigators demonstrated that NET also develops in NSCLCs without TKI targets or treatments. This phenomenon could be under-recognized, because re-biopsy was less frequently performed in these patients. The investigators had also shown that p53/Rb inactivation might correlated with NET and should be considered for NET risk prediction. In another retrospective studies, it was found that NSCLC patients with RB1/TP53 dual inactivation mutations had a significantly higher probability of NEC pathological transformation than those without RB1/TP53 inactivation mutations (43 times higher than those without mutations). Therefore, the subgroup of NSCLC patients with tumor suppressor gene RB1/TP53 dual inactivation might have elevated risk for NET. In this study, the investigators proposed to prospectively follow up NSCLC patients with dual RB1/TP53 inactivation (approximately 5% of the total NSCLC). Through prospective and systematic collection of baseline pathological information, clinical treatment process, and imaging data, and as much as possible, repeat pathological biopsies will be performed during disease progression.
The objective of the study is to create a common and unique platform for the acquisition of biological samples and, subsequently, the possible identification of predictive and prognostic biomarkers for young adults with gastrointestinal and neuroendocrine cancers.The definition "adolescent and young adults (AYA)" covers a broad group of patients ranging from the upper limit of the paediatric competence to the youngest patients usually considered and treated as adults. However, a well-defined and universally accepted age range is still not established. Young adults with cancer have distinct epidemiological, biological, and clinical characteristics, as well as special medical and psychosocial needs that are often unmet. In consideration of their poor representation in clinical studies, as well as the rarer, albeit increasing, frequency at an epidemiological level, knowledge of the risk factors associated with cancers in young adults is very poor. It is therefore of fundamental importance to focus attention on this specific cohort of patients, in order to describe in ever more detail any specific biomolecular aspects, and make full use of the pharmacological resources currently available.
Positron emission tomography (PET), an advanced diagnostic imaging technique, exploits the annihilation of positrons (e+) to delineate pathological alterations within diseased tissues. Integral to PET scanners are detector systems that transform gamma photons into fluorescent photons, thereby gleaning insights into the energy, time, and spatial distribution of gamma photons emanating from positron-emitting radiopharmaceuticals. Conventional PET scanners, bear a significant financial burden primarily due to their reliance on LSO (lutetium oxyorthosilicate) or LYSO (lutetium yttrium oxyorthosilicate) scintillation crystals. The exorbitant cost and limited availability of these crystal scintillators impede the widespread adoption of PET scanners. In a departure from conventional PET technology, the prototype J-PET scanner employed in this trial employs plastic scintillators, characterized by unique physical properties. This prototype is further equipped with bespoke software enabling three-photon imaging based on the annihilation of ortho-positronium (o-Ps) generated within diseased tissue. This study delves into the clinical applicability of PET scanners employing plastic scintillators, particularly investigating the feasibility of PET imaging using plastic scintillators where gamma quanta interact by mechanisms other than the photoelectric effect. Furthermore, this study endeavors to contemporaneously acquire and analyze data related to the lifetime of ortho-positronium (o-P) atoms emanating from routine radiopharmaceuticals. Additionally, it seeks to validate the utilization of a novel diagnostic indicator, termed the "positron biomarker," through a prospective study, comparing its efficacy to conventional diagnostic PET scanning methodologies.
Background: Cancers of the nasal cavity or skull base are rare. They often are not diagnosed until they are at an advanced stage, and they often spread to other parts of the body. These cancers may have mutations in a gene called IDH2. Researchers want to find out if a drug (enasidenib) that targets the IDH2 mutation can help people with these cancers. Objective: To test enasidenib in people with cancers of the nasal cavity or skull base. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with rare cancers of the nasal cavity or the base of the skull. Their cancer must have an IDH2 gene mutation, and it must have recurred locally or spread to other parts of the body. These cancers can include sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma; olfactory neuroblastoma; sinonasal large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma; poorly differentiated sinonasal adenocarcinoma; or chondrosarcoma. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood and urine tests and tests of their heart function. They will have imaging scans of their brain, skull base, neck, chest, abdomen, and pelvis. A sample of tumor tissue will be collected. Enasidenib is a tablet taken by mouth with a glass of water. Participants will take the drug once a day, every day, in 28-day cycles. They will not have resting periods between cycles. Participants will visit the clinic on the first day of each cycle to receive the tablets they will need to take at home until the beginning of the next cycle. They will keep a diary to record the time of each dose they take. Participants may remain in the study as long as the drug is helping them....
An open-label, multicenter phase Ib/II clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LBL-024 combined with etoposide and platinum in the first-line treatment of patients with advanced neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC)
Treatment of advanced endocrine tumors, including adrenal corticocarcnioma (ACC), medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), thymic neuroendocrine tumor and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor is challenging. Previous genomic profiling studies showed they presented a number of somatic mutations. The tumors Individualized mRNA neoantigen vaccine provide a promising solution since a significant portion of these tumors showed high quality of tumor specific neoantigen. The primary objective is to observe and evaluate the safety and tolerability of individualized mRNA neoantigen vaccine (mRNA-0523-L001) for the treatment of advanced endocrine tumors, failure of standard treatment or no standard treatment currently available. The secondary objective is to observe the preliminary efficacy of mRNA-0523-L001 for the treatment of advanced endocrine tumors, failure of standard treatment or no standard treatment currently available, including: 1. Neoantigen-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocyte responses induced by mRNA-0523-L001; 2. Objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) of tumors; 3. Progression-free survival (PFS).
This study aims to explore whether the combination of surufatinib (anti-angiogenic therapy) and sintilimab (PD-1 inhibitor) on the basis of EP regimen can further improve the effective rate and survival time of first-line treatment for patients with advanced gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma, and explore the safety and tolerability of this regimen.
