Filter by:The purpose of this study is to finalize development of a questionnaire that measures health-related symptoms and concerns for persons diagnosed with, and either treated or monitored for, anal pre-cancer lesions.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), safety and efficacy of TAK-659 in combination with nivolumab in participants with advanced solid tumors.
This phase II trial studies nivolumab and ipilimumab in treating patients with rare tumors. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab and palliative radiation therapy works in treating patients with esophagus, stomach, or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Palliative radiation therapy, such as external beam radiation therapy, uses high energy beams to treat symptoms that are caused by tumors. Giving pembrolizumab together with palliative radiation therapy may work better in treating patients with esophagus, stomach, or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.
This pilot clinical trial studies how well durvalumab before surgery works in treating patients with oral cavity or oropharynx cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
A study in patients with metastatic or recurrent squamous cell cancer of the head and neck to evaluate the effectiveness of Nivolumab plus Ipilumumab vs. Nivolumab alone (CheckMate 714)
The study consists of two distinct and sequential parts: - A Phase Ib aimed at determining the MTD (Maximum Tolerated Dose) of the combination (copanlisib/cetuximab) and the RP2D - A Phase II aimed at evaluating the efficacy of the combination at the RP2D (Recommended Phase 2 Dose) All patients will be treated with the Copanlisib, a selective PI3KCA inhibitor, in association with Cetuximab.
This study aims to establish whether the combination of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) and conventional cisplatin-based chemoradiotherapy is tolerable and results in acceptable levels of acute and late toxicity in patients with stage IV LA-SCCHN. In particular, the study will provide data on the levels of mucosal and cutaneous toxicity within the radiation fields, as these are the primary acute toxicities associated with this treatment regimen. In addition, toxicity outside the radiation portals (which may theoretically be exacerbated by radiation) will be studied. However, all toxicity will be monitored. This study will also give an indication of the activity of pembrolizumab in LA-SCCHN because we are deliberately selecting a group of patients with high- and intermediate-risk disease who have a significant chance of experiencing loco-regional or systemic failure.
Squamous cell carcinoma of the penis is a rare tumor in Europe, whose prognosis and survival are influenced by metastatic lymph node involvement. Its frequency in France is estimated at less than 1% of human cancers. This spread follows a sequential process via the superficial and deep inguinal lymph nodes and then to the pelvic lymph nodes before metastatic dissemination. The management of inguinal areas is the cornerstone of penile cancer. It is curative in about 80% of patients with 1 or 2 inguinal metastases. 5-years overall survival was on average 85% for pN0 patients and 40% for pN+ patients. For pN+ patients, 5-year overall survival was 70 to 80% for pN1 (only 1 lymph node invasion), 30 to 40% for pN2, and 0 to 10% for pN3. The risk of local recurrence is 5-10% for pN0 and 20-30% for pN+ after local treatment by lymphadenectomy alone without chemotherapy. The average time to recurrence was 10 months. Disease-free survival at 5 years is 75-85% for pN0 and 30-45% for pN+. Its indication depends on clinical examination (presence or absence of lymph nodes palpated) and the risk of nodal disease (≥pT1bG2). Currently, a fine needle biopsy is the best clinical diagnosis method because it is a simple, low risk, and possible in consultation. When the result is positive, it allows an early dissection. Single or double fine needle biopsy will be used in cN+ patients. For patients at risk of lymp nodes involvement (cN0 and ≥pT1B or G2), the sentinel node diagnosis may be followed by modified or bilateral lymphadenectomy. Although lymphadenectomy alone has a curator action, it sometimes remains insufficient in patients with metastatic lymph node involvement. Therefore it seems important to develop a multimodal approach in the management of these patients in order to increase the response rate to treatment and survival. From a Phase II trial conducted on 30 patients, the combination TIP (paclitaxel, ifosfamide, and cisplatin) appears to have an efficacy / toxicity acceptable. The TIP protocol has therefore been chosen for this trial as adjuvant or neo-adjuvant treatment in patients with high risk of lymph nodes involvement (cN0 and ≥pT1B or G2), and with inguinal mobile palpated lymph nodes (cN+) respectively, after lymph nodes involvement proven (pN+).
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the ten leading cancers in Taiwanese male. The prognosis is poor with a five-year overall survival rate of 10 to 30 %. Randomized clinical trials have demonstrated that trimodality therapy (TMT), consisted of neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT) and radical esophagectomy, improves the overall survival for patients with locally advanced disease. Despite of the advancement, the outcome remained unsatisfactory with the median progression-free survival around 20 to 25 months and median overall survival around 30 months. It is know that the most important prognostic factor is whether a pathological complete response can be achieved after neoadjuvant CCRT. However, the use of new generation chemotherapeutic agent taxanes and epidermal growth factor inhibitors (such as Cetuximab) failed to significantly improve prognosis comparing to the standard platinum-fluorouracil (PF) regimen. As a consequence, it is mandatory to develop new chemotherapeutic regimen for CCRT. In previous prospective studies, investigators used proximal ligation assay technology to identify serum VEGF-A in correlation with the pathological response and prognosis for patients receiving neoadjuvant CCRT plus radical esophagectomy for locally advanced ESCC. Other investigators also showed high VEGF expression correlating to poor outcome. Therefore, investigators generate the hypothesis that adding vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) monoclonal antibody, Bevacizumab, to standard neoadjuvant CCRT may improve outcome for patients with ESCC. Meanwhile, several prospective clinical studies have shown the feasibility, safety, and activity of adding Bevacizumab to chemotherapy, CCRT, or combined modality therapy including surgery, either in head and neck cancer, esophageal cancer, or esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma. However, its efficacy should be further investigated in larger prospective trials and little is known about the activity and toxicity of Bevacizumab in ESCC due to small number of reported cases. In the present clinical trial, investigators plan to investigate whether incorporation of Bevacizumab into standard neoadjuvant PF-CCRT will improve treatment response and increase pathological complete response rate. Investigators will also evaluate associated biomarkers in relation to prognosis. By the present research, investigators expect to develop a new TMT regimen for this poor prognostic disease.
