Cancer - including esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) - is a disease of the elderly but little is known about the biology and progression of cancers in these patients. While most patients receive chemotherapy and/or chemo-radiation as first treatment, no treatment standard for following treatments has been established so far and there is a clear unmet medical need, especially for elderly patients. Hence, this study assesses the efficacy and safety of two experimental immunotherapy regimens (Nivolumab monotherapy or Nivolumab/Ipilimumab combination) in elderly patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer.
Two randomized trials of reirradiation after salvage surgery have been conducted by the GETTEC and GORTEC collaborative groups, both members of the French HN Intergroup: The first trial compared reirradiation and a "wait and see attitude" and was published in 2008 [1]. The second trial compared two modalities of reirradiation. Our hypothesis is that adjuvant treatment with immunotherapy will lead to a DFS similar to that observed in previous trials of post-operative reirradiation with possibly lower toxicity.
This phase 2 trial studies how well panitumumab-IRDye800 works in identifying head and neck cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes in patients with head and neck cancer. Panitumumab-IRDye800 may help surgeons to identify metastatic lymph nodes during surgical removal of the primary tumor and/or lymph nodes of the neck with equal or better accuracy than the current methods.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection for superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
In patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity, the oropharynx and larynx with local advanced tumors (pathologic stage T3 = pT3) and or lymph node involvement (pN+) postoperative radio - or radiochemotherapy is the standard of care. Postoperative radiochemotherapy is indicated in patients with multiple lymph node metastasis, lymph node metastasis with extracapsular spread and / or residual tumor (R1-Status) after resection. Oropharyngeal cancer caused by HPV (human papillomavirus 16 or 18) is a distinct subgroup with a known sensitivity to radiotherapy (RTx) or radiochemotherapy (RCTx). Additionally a superior outcome after R(C)Tx over HPV negative patients was shown for patients treated with primary or adjuvant RCTx. To date it is unknown if the total dose of the radiotherapy can be safely reduced with the aim to decrease the therapy associated late effects. Patients with a HPV associated carcinoma that take part in the study will be treated with a reduced radiotherapy dose, chemotherapy will be prescribed based on clinical factors (number of affected lymph node, presence of extracapsular spread or residual tumor). Radiation dose will be reduced in two steps.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the results of treating patients with HPV-unrelated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma with neoadjuvant single-agent palbociclib, followed by chemoradiation (either cisplatin + IMRT or cetuximab + IMRT depending on patient characteristics), followed by adjuvant single-agent palbociclib.
This is a phase 2 single arm study of a novel schedule of hyperfractionated radiotherapy (RT) in combination with our standard chemotherapy program for patients with stage 3-4 squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx. The primary hypothesis of our study is that the study program will improve Laryngectomy-Free Survival compared to historical controls. The study is limited to patients who would be receiving primary RT-C as standard therapy off-study.
To compare the effects and safety of Anlotinib Plus Irinotecan versus Irinotecan in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC).
This is a phase 1b/2 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of metronomic combination therapy in subjects with SCC who have progressed on or after previous platinum-based chemotherapy and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy. Phase 2 will be based on Simon's two-stage optimal design.
