Filter by:Patients undergoing primary radiochhemotherapy for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinomas are included in this study. In addition to standard of care treatment patients will undergo addiational blood draws and MR imaging studies. Circulating cell free tumor DNA will be analysed in the blood samples. BIological data, imaging data and clinical data (such as patient and tumor characteristics, oncologic outcome, side effects) will be analysed in a biomathematical modelling approach.
This is a single-arm, open, II phase study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Nivolumab + carboplatin + paclitaxel in 25 newly diagnosed patients with primary tracheal squamous cell carcinoma.
Phase 1, first-in-human, open label study of CAR macrophages in HER2 overexpressing solid tumors.
The study will utilize both retrospective and prospective data collection from patients that already had a bronchoscopy and lung resection or will have a bronchoscopy and lung resection for squamous cell carcinoma. The investigators plan to prospectively collect 5 bronchoscopic biopsies, 10ml blood and one tumor and adjacent normal samples from 200 qualified patients who meet the study criteria.
This study evaluates the combination of BYL719, cisplatin and cetuximab as induction chemotherapy prior to minimally-invasive transoral surgery (TORS or TLM) and selective lymph node dissection (SLND), followed by risk-adapted intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in patients with transorally resectable, Stage III-IVa, HPV-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC).
1. Goals The primary goal of this phase II trial is to: evaluate the response rate of combination chemotherapy with docetaxel and oxaliplatin in patients with stage IIIB/IV non-adenocarcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as second-line treatment Secondary goals are to: evaluate the treatment-related toxicities of this combination, investigate progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in this population 2. Design The proposed clinical trial is an open label, non-comparative, multicenter phase II trial according to the two stage testing design by Simon two-stage testing procedure
Background: Bortezomib acts on molecules in head and neck cancer cells that are important for the cells growth and survival. The drug may help make the cancer more sensitive to radiation and other chemotherapy drugs. Cetuximab is a monoclonal antibody that has increased the effectiveness of radiation treatment in patients with head and neck cancer in clinical trials. Cisplatin has shrunk head and neck cancers and improved treatment response and survival when combined with radiation treatment. Objectives: To determine the highest safe dose of bortezomib when combined with cetuximab without or with cisplatin and with radiation in patients with advanced head and neck cancer. To examine the benefits and side effects of these drug combinations with radiation in patients with advanced head and neck cancer. Eligibility: Patients 18 years of age and older with advanced Stage IV head and neck cancer who have not previously had neck radiation. Design: Patients will be assigned sequentially to one of two treatment groups: Group A receives bortezomib and cetuximab beginning the week before, and for the duration of, radiation therapy; Group B receives bortezomib, cetuximab and cisplatin beginning the week before, and for the duration of, radiation therapy. - Cetuximab is given as a 2-hour infusion through a vein (intravenously, IV) for the first dose and then over 1 hour for subsequent weekly doses. - Bortezomib is given as an injection into a vein over about 5 seconds, twice a week for 2 weeks, followed by a 1-week rest for a total of three 3-week treatment cycles during radiation. - Cisplatin is given in once a week as a 1-hour IV infusion - Radiation therapy is given 5 days a week for 7 to 8 weeks. Post-treatment follow-up: - Until 2 weeks after treatment ends, patients are followed once a week including a physical examination, review of treatment side effects, and blood tests. - For 2 months after treatment ends, patients may need to return to the hospital for medical evaluation and supportive care, depending on their condition. - 8-weeks after treatment ends, patients return for evaluation with a history and physical examination; blood tests; ear, nose and throat evaluation and endoscopy; CT or MRI scan, or both, of the neck and chest; and, if indicated, a PET scan....
A study of Oxaliplatin and Docetaxel followed by Cetuximab for head and neck cancer patients to determine their effect on the control and reduction of tumor size
