Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well MLN4924 (pevonedistat), carboplatin, and paclitaxel work in treating patients with stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer. Pevonedistat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving pevonedistat together with carboplatin and paclitaxel may work better in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer when compared with other standard chemotherapy drugs.
To verify the role of nab-paclitaxel in neoadjuvant therapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, the investigators designed a prospective, randomized, controlled , multicente phase II trial, to investigate the efficacy and safety of nab-paclitaxel combined with cisplatin as neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgery versus surgery alone for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
This study is a randomized, double-blind, multi-center, phase III clinical study comparing the clinical efficacy and safety of HLX10 or placebo combined with chemotherapy in first-line treatment of locally advanced/metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients.This study consists of three periods, screening period (28 days), treatment period and follow-up period (including safety follow-up, survival follow-up).Subjects can be enrolled into this study only if they meet inclusion criteria and do not meet exclusion criteria.
This is a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to compare the efficacy and safety of BGB-A317 versus P placebo with chemoradiotherapy in participants with Localized Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Elective nodal irradiation has been a longstanding standard-of-care in the management of mucosal squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Recent studies have suggested that reduced elective dose and volume may be a viable approach to improve toxicity. In this study, we are eliminating the elective neck treatment, focusing therapy on involved and suspicious nodes.
A two-part molecular epidemiological study will be conducted to comprehensively assess the association between miR expression and miR promoter methylation and the response to therapy and prognosis in primary, HPV-negative HNSCC patients. Part 1 will be a prospective collection of 25 pairs of fresh tumor-distant normal mucosal tissue in patients with HNSCC. Ultimately, 15 HPV-negative tumor-mucosal pairs will be utilized for discovery work in identifying miRs whose expression is up- or down-regulated in tumors. Part 2 will test the association between miR expression and miR promoter methylation, and therapeutic response and survival in all archived surgical cases of HPV-negative HNSCC at University of New Mexico Hospital (UNMH) collected after 1990.
This phase II/III trial studies how well a reduced dose of radiation therapy works with nivolumab compared to cisplatin in treating patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal cancer that is early in its growth and may not have spread to other parts of the body (early-stage), and is not associated with smoking. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Chemotherapy drugs, 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 nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. This trial is being done to see if a reduced dose of radiation therapy and nivolumab works as well as standard dose radiation therapy and cisplatin in treating patients with oropharyngeal cancer.
Squamous cell carcinoma of the VADS represents the majority of cancers in ENT. Metastatic lymph node involvement is an important prognostic factor. In N0 patients clinically and scanographically, the prevalence of cervical lymph node metastasis remains important. Only the anatomopathological analysis of cervical lymph node dissection confirms the presence of a micro-metastasis. However, new criteria of interpretation in nuclear medicine seem promising in the detection of lymph node lesions not detectable in traditional imaging. The main objective of this study is to study the positive predictive value (PPV) of CT scans in the anatomo-pathological analysis of N0 clinical and radiological or N + unilateral neck ganglia in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity.
This phase II trial studies how well avelumab with or without cetuximab work in treating patients with skin squamous cell cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as avelumab and cetuximab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
This study is looking to see if nivolumab, an immunotherapy drug, given with carboplatin and paclitaxel (2 chemotherapy agents) during induction therapy in advanced stage HPV negative patients can significantly shrink the subject's cancer.
