Retrospective observational study that aims to collect real world data on the cetuximab plus paclitaxel regimen as first line treatment for recurrent and/or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). Assignment of a patient to a specific therapeutic strategy has been already decided in the past according to normal routine clinical practice; the decision to prescribe a specific treatment (between January 2012 and December 2018) was clearly dissociated from the decision to include a patient in the present study. The investigators will retrospectively collect the information for 500 patients diagnosed with recurrent and/or metastatic SCCHN treated with a cetuximab plus paclitaxel regimen as first line for unresectable recurrent and/or metastatic disease, starting treatment with the defined cetuximab plus paclitaxel regimen, in 20 hospital members of the "Grupo Español de Tratamiento de Tumores de Cabeza y Cuello (TTCC)", who express consent to participate in the study or have not explicitly withheld consent for use of their data. The information from the patients' medical records will be collected through the online database of the TTCC Group.
This phase II trial studies the effect of pembrolizumab alone compared to the usual approach (chemotherapy [cisplatin and carboplatin] plus radiation therapy) after surgery in treating patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma that has come back (recurrent) or patients with a second head and neck cancer that is not from metastasis (primary). Radiation therapy uses high energy radiation or protons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Cisplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Carboplatin is also in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving pembrolizumab alone after surgery may work better than the usual approach in shrinking recurrent or primary head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to refine and pilot test educational material developed to educate and support patients receiving immunotherapy for advanced cancer. The intervention is an educational video and question prompt list (QPL) to promote communication between patients, caregivers, and the oncology team about the risks and benefits of immunotherapy.
China with high incidence of esophageal cancer, the number of new cases and deaths account for about 50% of the world every year. In the past few decades, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other treatments were continuously improved, however, the mortality of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients was not significantly decreased. For patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer, direct surgery is not effective. It is difficult to achieve radical resection by surgery merely, and even if many patients receive surgery, they may eventually have tumor recurrence and poor survival rate. Therefore, it is necessary to explore effective perioperative neoadjuvant treatment to reduce the risk of postoperative recurrence and improve the postoperative survival rate of patients. According to the reports, the expression of PD-L1 in esophageal cancer was about 41.4%. Therefore, PD-1/ PD-L1 immunocheckpoint inhibitor may become a new method for the treatment of esophageal cancer. Preliminary clinical results showed that immunotherapy combined with chemoradiotherapy provided a synergies antitumor effect. Multiple clinical results showed that Carrillizumab provided higher overall response rate for advanced esophageal cancer. However, in patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer, the efficacy of Carrillizumab combined with chemotherapy and apatinib for sequential radical surgery is still unclear. The purpose of this study is to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of Carrillizumab combined with chemotherapy and antiangiogenic drugs in the neoadjuvant therapy of resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of atezolizumab plus tiragolumab and atezolizumab plus placebo as first-line (1L) treatment in recurrent/metastatic PD-L1-positive squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) on the basis of confirmed objective response rate. In addition, safety, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity of atezolizumab and tiragolumab will be evaluated.
Current guidelines in management of regional lymph node metastases for cSCC patients include surgical resection with or without adjuvant therapy as well as chemotherapy and interdisciplinary management; in advanced disease, supportive and palliative care is recommended. These guidelines also define the role of SLNB in management of high-risk cSCC as unclear and suggest further studies need to determine its utility and indications11. Currently, routine practice of performing SLNB in cSCC varies across Quebec and within Canada. At many institutions, SLNB is not routinely performed on patients with cSCC. The current standard of treatment is to observe closely when a patient is deemed to have a high-risk cancer, and if they have clinical or radiological findings of lymphadenopathy, a formal surgical neck dissection is performed. Given the comorbidities and risks involved in treatment of regional lymph nodes in cSCC, the role of SLNB in cSCC patients needs further clarification. This multicentre prospective study aims to better clarify this role and formulate suggested criteria for its indications.
Patients with recurrent or metastatic uterine cervical squamous carcinoma have very poor prognosis. For eligible patients, radiotherapy remains the choice, which has the most effective impact on the survival periods. On the hand, anti-angiogenic therapy has been proved to be promising treatment for recurrent or advanced cervical carcinomas. This study aims to discover the objective response of combination therapy with nimotuzumab (an anti-epidermal growth factor receptor [EGFR] IgG1 humanized monoclonal antibody) and radiotherapy in recurrent or metastatic uterine cervical squamous carcinoma in a single-arm, open, phase 2 clinical trial. The primary endpoint is the objective response rate evaluated by imaging methods. The second endpoints are the progression-free survival and overall survival. The treatment toxicity is regarded as one the second endpoint.
Phase 1, first-in-human, open label study of CAR macrophages in HER2 overexpressing solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetic, safety, immunogenicity and efficacy of CMAB819 and Nivolumab in subjects with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma., after failure of prior platinum-based chemotherapy.
