Filter by:This phase I trial studies the side effects and how well nivolumab works when given together with radiation therapy or ipilimumab as adjuvant therapy in treating patients with Merkel cell cancer. 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. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, gamma rays, neutrons, protons or other sources to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving nivolumab with radiation therapy or ipilimumab after surgery may kill any remaining tumor cells.
This study will evaluate the safety and feasibility of preoperative immune checkpoint therapy with concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. And this study will provide valuable information for further clinical trials of preoperative pembrolizumab and other immune checkpoint therapy in esophageal cancer treatment.
The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of pre-treatment tumor tissue PD-L1 expression in patients diagnosed with advanced urothelial carcinoma.
A total of 160 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to two groups. The experimental group was given massage of maxillofacial and oral cavity plus routine oral care and functional exercise. The control group was given routine oral care and functional exercise. Analyze the difference of incidence of severe acute radioactive oral mucositis in these two groups.
Background: A most common liver cancer in adults is hepatocellular carcinoma. Other kinds of liver cancer happen when colorectal or pancreatic cancer spreads to the liver. Researchers want to study if a combination of drugs helps people with these cancers. The drugs are nivolumab, tadalafil, and vancomycin. Objective: To investigate if nivolumab given with tadalafil and vancomycin causes liver cancer to shrink. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 years and older with hepatocellular carcinoma or metastases to the liver from colorectal or pancreatic cancer for which standard treatment has not worked Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical and cancer history Review of symptoms and ability to perform normal activities Physical exam Heart test. Some participants may meet with a cardiologist and/or have another heart test. Scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis Blood and urine tests Tumor sample review. This can be from a previous procedure. Participants will receive the study drugs in 4-week cycles. In each cycle participants will: Get nivolumab through a small plastic tube in the arm on Day 1. Take tadalafil by mouth 1 time every day. Take vancomycin by mouth 4 times a day. They will take it every day for weeks 1 3, then not take it for week 4. Complete a medicine diary of dates, times, missed doses and symptoms. Throughout the study, participants will repeat screening tests and will give stool samples or rectal swabs. After their last cycle, participants will have 3 follow-up visits over 3 months. Then they will be contacted every 6 months by phone or email and asked about their general well-being. ...
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of SOR-C13 in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body (advanced) and does not respond to treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as SOR-C13, 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.
This is a single-arm, prospective, multicenter, study. Individuals who are assessed for microwave (MW) ablation of HCC in accordance with their institution's standard of care (SOC), who meet study entry criteria and sign the informed consent, will be enrolled. The patients will be treated with MW ablation and afterwards followed for up to 36 months after the original ablation procedure to assess efficacy and safety. In addition to the final analysis after all enrolled patients complete the 36-month observation period, a summary of selected endpoints will be provided after all enrolled patients have completed each of the 1-month and 12-month visits. To provide sites with an opportunity to get equal experience in the use of the Certus system, there will 3 patients treated as part of a run-in phase. These patients will only be included in the safety set.
This is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter, efficacy, and safety study of pembrolizumab in adult and pediatric participants with previously untreated advanced Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC). The primary objective of the trial is to assess the objective response rate, as assessed by blinded independent central review per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) modified to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ, following administration of pembrolizumab.
The goal of this project is to investigate the extent and role of mesothelial - mesenchymal transition (MMT) and cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in the pathogenesis of colorectal peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC).
The objective of this Post Marketing Surveillance (PMS) is to collect and describe safety and effectiveness profile of Cabometyx™ in real clinical practice setting, according to the approved labelling after the approval of marketing authorization.
