Filter by:This study investigates the diagnostic value of PET/MRI for cervical lymph node metastases from head and neck squamous cell carcinomas.
This study evaluates whether it is safe to Focused Ultrasound Ablation (FUSA) treatments with and without PD-1 blockade and with and without intratumoral poly-ICLC. A device called the Echopulse will be used for the FUSA therapy. Patients will be assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts depending on their disease and treatment status. In Cohort 1, patients will receive FUSA therapy while receiving PD-1 blockade therapy as part of standard clinical care treatment. In Cohort 2, patients who discontinue or are ineligible for PD-1 blockade therapy will undergo FUSA without concurrent systemic therapy, with the goal of utilizing the FUSA to boost the innate immune response. The optional secondary regimen will combine FUSA (+/- PD-1 blockade) with intratumoral poly-ICLC.
This study was designed to predict the toxicity and efficacy of Simultaneous Integrated Boost Intensity-modulated Chemoradiotherapy in Upper Thoracic I-IVA Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects the combination of Nivolumab and Pemetrexed has on you and your cancer. The safety of this combination and the effectiveness of this treatment will be studied.
This phase II trial studies how well radiation therapy and cisplatin with or without cetuximab works in treating patients with human papillomavirus (HPV) positive, KRAS-variant stage III-IV oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, may help the body?s immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving radiation therapy, cisplatin, and cetuximab may work better in treating patients with HPV positive, KRAS-variant oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma compared to radiation therapy and cisplatin alone.
Volume and Dose De-Intensified Radiotherapy for p16+ Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Oropharynx: A Multi-Centre, Single Arm Prospective Cohort Study
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a blood-based test that measures dying or dead cancer cells that are already circulating in the blood. In this study, the investigators will enroll patients who are planning to receive surgery to remove their head and neck cancer. The investigators are interested to learn how ctDNA levels change with surgery and over the course of time. The investigators also want to determine if there are certain features of the tumor or the patient themselves that might cause ctDNA to be higher than other patients. Also, the investigators want to explore if the detection of ctDNA following surgery is related to cancer recurrence.
Prospective will be collected in a minimum of 300 patients presenting with an acquired segmental mandibular defect ≥ 4 cm secondary to OSSC removal and who require mandibular reconstruction.
CX1106 is a novel inhibitor of thymidylate synthase (TS) developed as a potential antitumor agent by virtue of the rate limiting role of TS in the biosynthesis of thymidine. CX1106 differs from other TS inhibitors such as pemetrexed, raltitrexed, CB3717, and fluorouracil in that it does not require active transport for uptake into cells. CX1106 also lacks a glutamate moiety and thus does not require polyglutamation for antitumor activity. More than 1000 patients with various malignancies have been treated with CX1106 to date in previous various clinical trials. The investigators suggest a study of CX1106 in patients with recurrent or metastatic HNSCC who are resistant or ineligible/intolerant to platinum-based chemotherapy. The aim of current trial is to evaluate the antitumor efficacy and safety profile of CX1106.
This is a Phase I dose-escalation study of sEphB4-HSA in combination with chemotherapy, cetuximab and radiotherapy (RT). The purpose is to estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) that can be administered concurrently with Cetuximab and radiation in patients with locally advanced, Stage III or IV A-B squamous cell carcinomas of the head or neck with a history of at least ten pack-years of smoking.
