Filter by: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.
Single-bolus computed tomography urography (CTU)is a recently developed one-stop imaging examination for diagnosis of urinary tract diseases, including urinary malignancies. However, single-bolus CTU uses two post- contrast phases (i.e.: nephrographic and excretory phases) for diagnosis of urinary tract diseases. A further-developed split-bolus CTU uses solitary post-contrast phase containing mixed information of nephrographic and excretory phases for diagnosis of urinary tract disease; however, whether split-bolus CTU has similar high diagnostic values for urinary malignancies remains unaddressed. Thus, the aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic performance between single-bolus and split-bolus CTU for diagnosing urinary malignancies. This study will enroll 352 patients from two hospitals if they fit the including criteria including aged > 40 years old, presenting with gross hematuria or having urinary malignancies histories, normal renal function (i.e.: estimated glomerular filtration rate > 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, no allergic history to iodinated contrast medium and no pregnancy). All enrolled patients will be randomized to undergo split-bolus and single-bolus CTU in 1: 1 manner. Two radiologists will read CTU images independently using a standardized recording sheet with Likert scales 1-5 representing higher probabilities of presence of urinary malignancies for larger number). The diagnostic values of split-bolus and single-bolus CTU will analyzed using reference standards by final diagnoses of urinary malignancies (i.e.: presence of urinary malignancies based on histological examinations of cytology examinations, biopsies or surgical specimens). The diagnostic performance of split-bolus CTU and single- bolus CTU for urinary malignancies will be compared using areas under receiver operating curve (ROC) to determine whether there is presence of significant difference .
This phase II trial studies how well TAS-102, irinotecan, and bevacizumab work in treating patients with pre-treated colorectal cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as TAS-102, 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. Irinotecan may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with bevacizumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving TAS-102, irinotecan, and bevacizumab may work better in treating patients with colorectal cancer compared to traditional chemotherapy and bevacizumab.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of adjuvant therapy with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab compared with active surveillance in participants with completely resected or ablated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who are at high risk for disease recurrence.
This phase II trial studies how well pemigatinib works in treating patients with colorectal cancer with mutations (alterations) in a FGFR gene and that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Pemigatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking FGFR, which is needed for cell growth.
This phase III trial studies how well an antibody (durvalumab) with chemotherapy and radiation therapy (chemoradiation) works in treating patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, 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 being done to see if adding durvalumab to standard chemoradiation followed by additional durvalumab can extend patients life and/or prevent the tumor from coming back compared to the usual approach of chemoradiation alone followed by durvalumab.
This phase II trial studies how well the combination of XL184 (cabozantinib), nivolumab, and ipilimumab work in treating patients with poorly differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (i.e., neuroendocrine tumor that does not look like the normal tissue it arose from). Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving cabozantinib, nivolumab and ipilimumab may shrink the cancer.
In this study, the Phase Ib portion aims to establish safety and tolerability of ARRY-614 with either nivolumab or ipilimumab and to determine a recommended phase II dose of ARRY-614 in combination with either nivolumab or nivolumab+ipilimumab immunotherapy in patients with selected advanced solid tumors. The Phase II portion will estimate the efficacy of ARRY-614 in combination with either nivolumab or ARRY-614 + nivolumab+ipilimumab immunotherapy in patients with with NSCLC, HNSCC, melanoma and RCC and melanoma.
This is an open-label, single center, non-randomized, phase I trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of gemcitabine combined with apatinib and toripalimab in patients with the recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
The investigators aim to investigate whether incorporating on-treatment EBV DNA surveillance for monitoring tumor responses to treatment and for guiding individuliased treatment adaptation can improve prognosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patient . For patients with detectable EBV DNA after one cycle of IC, which then drops to undetectable levels during the following IC cycles (intermediate responders/intermediate relapse risk), the investigators aim to investigate whether additional adjuvant metronomic capecitabine would benefit this subgroup. For patients with detectable EBV DNA after three cycles of IC or with EBV DNA bounce during the induction phase (insensitive to IC/high relapse risk), the investigators aim to investigate whether concurrent administration of anti-PD-1 therapy during the following treatment phases (including concurrent phase and adjuvant phase) can benefit this subgroup.
