Filter by:This Prospective, single-arm Phase Ⅱ study is to determine the efficacy and safety of Once-daily Simultaneous Modulated Accelerated Radiotherapy combined with S-1/DDP for geratic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients.
This open label, single-arm, Phase 1b study is designed to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) using a traditional 3+3 dose escalation design of the WEE-1 inhibitor AZD1775 when added to standard of care chemotherapy (cisplatin) and radiation for the treatment of locally advanced squamous cell cancer of the head and neck (HNSCC).
This study is a dose escalation of GR-MD-02 with the standard therapeutic dose of pembrolizumab in patients with advanced melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, and head and neck squamous cell cancer.
This is an open-label dose escalation study designed to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of ABBV-085 and determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (as monotherapy or in combination with standard therapies) in subjects with advanced solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of complete nerve-sparing type C1 radical hysterectomy in cervical cancer.
The investigators hypothesize that Tadalafil treatment, by lowering Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (MDSCs) and regulatory T cells (Tregs), can prime an antitumor immune response and promote a permissive environment that should increase the efficacy of anti-tumor vaccine in a setting of minimal residual disease.
This is a retrospective international, multi-center, non-interventional cohort study based on use of data derived from established medical records and secondary analysis of archival tumor samples. The study will collect data on patient and tumor characteristics, PD-L1 status, patterns of treatment, and clinical outcomes, in up to 600 adult patients with recurrent/metastatic SCCHN. SCCHN of interest for this study are defined as the diseases falling into specific ICD-10 or International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) codes (Table 1), depending on anatomical sub-site of the primary tumor. For patient selection, the date of diagnosis of recurrent/metastatic disease will be used as the index date. The patient selection period extends from the 1st March 2011 to the 30th June 2015. This allows for the inclusion of patients with tumor samples of approximately ≤ 5 years age, and ensures approximately 10 months follow-up for living patients recruited at last day of the enrollment window. All patients with a diagnosis of recurrent/metastatic SCC of the oral cavity (tongue, gum, floor of mouth, and other/unspecified part of the mouth), oropharynx, hypopharynx, or larynx during that period will be considered for inclusion in the study (Figure 1). Patients will be identified and followed up through their medical records until death or end of data collection in approximately 20 centers in the US, Asia and Europe. Patients' demographic, clinical characteristics, and medical history will be described. Clinical outcomes including PFS, best response, duration of response, and ORR will be described for the first line and second line of therapy (if any), and OS will be collected A mandatory archived tumor samples will be used to determine PD-L1 status. If a patient has more than one suitable tissue sample, the most recent sample will be used as the mandatory tissue sample. Where available, additional tumor samples obtained at any other time points of the disease will be also collected (optional). The enrolment target is up to 600 patients. Statistical analyses will be performed for the whole cohort, per PD-L1 status and for predefined subgroups.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of pembrolizumab and vorinostat in treating patients with squamous cell head and neck cancer or salivary gland cancer that has come back, has spread to other places in the body and/or cannot be removed by surgery. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving pembrolizumab together with vorinostat may be a better treatment for head and neck cancer or salivary gland cancer.
This is a phase 1 study (the first step in testing a new drug or combination, to see how safe the drug and/or combination are) of investigational agent BYL719 in patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer (LA-SCCHN) in combination with standard radiation and chemotherapy (cisplatin). BYL719 is a new drug that is able to bind (attach to) and block a protein called PI3K-alpha. PI3K-alpha is part of an important pathway called EGFR/PI3K/Akt. A pathway is a series of chemical reactions among proteins in the cells that are involved in the support of normal cellular function. If the pathway is too active, due to changes in those proteins, the pathway can lead to tumor cell growth, survival and invasion. BYL719 has been shown to stop cancers in laboratory and animal studies. This study is the first time BYL719 will be combined with radiation and chemotherapy.
Early detection of viable residual tumor or early neoplastic recurrence represents a real challenge in monitoring patients treated with concomitant chemoradiotherapy squamous cell carcinoma of the upper aerodigestive tract. The locoregional recurrence rate is indeed high (up 40%) over the first two years of this therapeutic method. The conventional imaging methods such as CT and MRI appear limited in terms of sensitivity because of the many post-treatment changes are fibrosis, tissue edema and the tissue distortion. PET-CT 18F-FDG proves to be a non-invasive, reliable for the detection of residual tumor and metastasis, even in the absence of clinical signs. To date, the acquired CT examination in the same time and in the same position that PET is performed without iodinated contrast injection, used for anatomical identification and attenuation correction of PET fused images. The patient usually has a second CT imaging, centered on the neck with contrast injection iodized within the radiology department. To date, no team has yet studied the interest of the PET-CT 18F-FDG coupled with a CT scan with contrast injection iodized in the diagnosis of early recurrence in head and neck malignancies while interest of the contrast agent injection has been demonstrated in ovarian neoplastic recurrence research, pancreatic and colon.
