Filter by:Cancer is a condition where cells in a specific part of body grow and reproduce uncontrollably. The purpose of this study is to assess adverse events and change in disease activity when ABBV-400 is given to adult participants to treat advanced solid tumors. ABBV-400 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of advanced solid tumors. Study doctors put the participants in groups called cohorts. Each cohort receives ABBV-400 alone (monotherapy) followed by a safety follow-up period. Approximately 220 adult participants with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), biliary tract cancers (BTC), esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), hormone receptor+/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer (hormone receptor-positive [HR+]/HER2-breast cancer [BC]), head and neck squamous-cell-carcinoma (HNSCC), or advanced solid tumors, will be enrolled in the study in approximately 60 sites worldwide. In the each cohorts, participants with the following advanced solid tumor indications: HCC, PDAC, BTC, ESCC, TNBC, HR+/HER2-BC, and HNSCC will receive intravenous (IV) ABBV-400 monotherapy for up to 2 years during and up to the treatment period with an additional safety follow-up period of up to 2 years. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at an approved institution (hospital or clinic). The effect of the treatment will be frequently checked by medical assessments, blood tests, questionnaires and side effects.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, controlled Phase 2/3 trial of zanzalintinib in combination with pembrolizumab versus zanzalintinib-matched placebo in combination with pembrolizumab in subjects with PD-L1 positive recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) incurable by local therapies who have not received prior systemic therapy for recurrent or metastatic disease.
This study aims to observe and explore the efficacy and safety of Penpulimab combined with chemotherapy for neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy in patients with resectable head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
This is a prospective, single center phase II clinical study with a planned enrollment of 33 patients. The main objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the PD-1 inhibitor toripalimab combined with cetuximab, cisplatin, and 5-FU regimen in the treatment of locally advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma patients who are initially unresectable.
This is a single-center, prospective, single-arm Phase II clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IBI110 in combination with Sintilimab in subjects with advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who have failed first-line treatment with PD-1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy. Patients who meet the inclusion criteria will be treated with IBI110 combined with Sintilimab until disease progression, death, toxicity intolerance, withdrawal of informed consent, initiation of new anti-tumor therapy, or termination of therapy for other reasons specified in the protocol. RECIST v1.1 was used for clinical tumor imaging evaluation every 6 weeks during treatment.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of ficlatuzumab plus cetuximab compared to placebo plus cetuximab in participants with recurrent/metastatic (R/M) HPV-negative Head and Neck Cancer. The primary hypothesis is that ficlatuzumab combined with cetuximab is superior to cetuximab alone in terms of progression-free survival and/or overall survival.
This is a multi-center, open-label Phase 0 substudy designed to study the localized pharmacodynamics (PD) of TAK-676 alone or in combination with Carboplatin, 5-FU, or Paclitaxel within the tumor microenvironment (TME) when administered intratumorally in microdose quantities via the CIVO device in patients diagnosed with Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma presenting with a surface accessible solid tumor for which there is a scheduled surgical intervention. This substudy is a cohort of the PBI-MST-01 Master Protocol.
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the antitumor activity and safety of novel immunotherapy combinations compared with dostarlimab in participants with Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) positive Recurrent/Metastatic (R/M) Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC).
Epidermoid Carcinoma of the Upper Aerodigestive Tract (CEVADS) is the 6th most common cancer worldwide. Despite current therapies (radiotherapy, surgery and chemotherapy), cancers of the Upper Aerodigestive Tract (UAT) have a poor prognosis, with a 10-year survival rate of no more than 20%. For recurrent or metastatic CEVADS, the therapeutic arsenal, based for many years on chemotherapy and anti-EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor) agents, has been enriched by a new therapeutic class: PD-1 inhibitors. For CEVADS, PD-1 inhibitors have been approved for second-line treatment of nivolumab for over a year, and are now used in first-line treatment of pembrolizumab. The results of this therapeutic class in CEVADS are not as spectacular as for melanoma or bronchial cancer. Indeed, only 20% of patients have a favorable response, compared with half who experience disease progression. This low proportion of responders can be explained by tumor heterogeneity within CEVADS and poor patient selection. The only marker used to select patients is PD-L1 expression detected by ImmunoHistochemistry (IHC). However, it seems that this marker, described as imperfect, is still little explored in ENT. It needs to be compared with the expression of other cell lines in the tumor microenvironment, which could play an important role in resistance to PD-1 inhibitors. IHC identifies all macrophages using the CD68 marker, while the CD163 marker is specific to M2 macrophages. Other targets in the microenvironment are also being investigated, with the discovery of a Tertiary Lymphocyte Structure (TLS) in melanoma treated with immunotherapy. It therefore seems necessary to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms of tumor progression under immunotherapy in order to develop strategies to optimize response to treatment. This would enable better selection of patients likely to benefit from immunotherapy, and open up prospects for therapeutic combinations. The hypothesis is that macrophages, but also other cells and factors in the CEVADS microenvironment, play a decisive role in resistance to PD-1 inhibitors. The aim is therefore to continue these macrophage analyses, extend them to other cells in the microenvironment and link them to other prognostic factors under investigation. A prospective study will analyze tumor tissue during treatment with PD-1 inhibitors, in order to correlate all the factors studied with response or resistance to immunotherapies. In addition, the oral microbiota, in the lineage of the intestinal microbiota, has been shown to be highly stable over time and to play a role in the oncogenesis of certain cancers, notably CEVADS. Like the intestinal microbiota, it could also represent a prognostic factor in the response to immunotherapies. Of all the bacteria in this oral microbiota, one has been shown to play a major role: Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum). However, little is known about the mechanism of action of intratumoral F. nucleatum on the development of CEVADS. In particular, it is thought to play a role in local cancer immunity, via macrophages, regulatory T cells (Tregs) and TLRs. Finally, it appears that specific antimicrobial T-cell responses may cross-react with tumor antigens, hence the importance of also analyzing the metabolome of commensal bacteria.The aim of this study was to evaluate the evolution of the presence of this bacterium in saliva, as well as the specific immune response to F. nucleatum in patients with CEVADS during immunotherapy treatment.
It has been reported that patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who achieved pathological complete response (PCR) to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy have better survival than those with non-PCR. Howeve, there is still recurrent diseases developed in PCR patients after esophagectomy. Herein, we aimed to investgate the risk factors of recurrence in PCR patients.
