Filter by:This phase I trial studies the best dose and side effects of abexinostat and how well it works with given together with pembrolizumab in treating participants with microsatellite instability (MSI) solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body. Abexinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving abexinostat and pembrolizumab may work better in treating participants with solid tumors.
Esophageal or esophageal-gastric junction squamous cell cancer has dismal prognosis. And still no promising chemotherapeutic drugs is existed. In this study, The investigators wanted to look at the effects and safety of first line docetaxel-PM and oxaliplatin weekly administration chemotherapy for the participants with inoperable or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Concurrent chemoradiotherapy is one of the curative options for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. We evaluated the efficacy and toxicity of raltitrexed with concurrent radiotherapy in elderly patients with esophageal cancer.
This study is conducted to evaluate efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by preoperative chemoradiotherapy in patients with resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Human papillomavirus infections 16 (HPV16) is known to be a high-risk factor to induce cervical cancers. To date, HPV16-related cervical cancer is still a major concern in developing countries where vaccination is not prevalent. Concurrent therapies for cervical cancers have limited response rate and high chance of relapse. However, HPV16-induced cancers provided an ideal target for T cell-based immunotherapy due to the non-self origins. Engineered T cells bearing a TCR (TCR-T) that can specifically recognize the presented HPV antigen become a viable approach to treat this type of cancer. Though engineered T therapies have been well-recognized in hematological cancers, solid cancer treatment has been a major hurdle due to the immune-suppressive tumor microenvironment. One key mechanism of tumor-elicited suppression is the PDL1-PD1 interaction which induces T cell exhaustion. Therefore, TCR-T cells armed with a PD1 antagonist could further enhance the efficacy of TCR-T in solid cancers.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of nivolumab + cisplatin-RT relative to standard of care (SOC) cisplatin-RT alone, using the disease-free survival (DFS by investigator imaging assessment) as primary endpoint )
This is a window of opportunity study for patients with resectable squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity who are considered suitable for curative-intent surgical resection, with pre-operative drugs, Sitravatinib and Nivolumab.
This phase I trial studies the side effects of nivolumab and IRX-2 and how well they work in treating participants with stage III-IVA oral cavity cancer or human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal cancer that can be removed by surgery. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. IRX-2 may "turn on" the immune system and stimulate an immune response against tumor cells. Giving nivolumab and IRX-2 followed by surgery may work better at treating oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancer.
This trial studies how well gabapentin, methadone, and oxycodone with or without venlafaxine hydrochloride work in managing pain in participants with stage II-IV squamous cell head and neck cancer undergoing chemoradiation therapy. Gabapentin may reduce the need for these pain medications if given at the start of radiation therapy. Methadone and oxycodone may help relieve pain caused by cancer. Venlafaxine hydrochloride may prevent or improve pain caused by cancer. It is now yet known whether giving gabapentin, methadone, and oxycodone with venlafaxine hydrochloride will work better in managing pain in participants with squamous cell head and neck cancer undergoing chemoradiation therapy.
This phase II trial studies how well cemiplimab works before surgery in treating patients with stage II-IV head and neck cutaneous squamous cell cancer that has come back (recurrent) and can be removed by surgery (resectable). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as cemiplimab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
