According to the World Health Organization, oral cancer (OC) is the eighth most common cancer in the world with a five year survival rate of 50%. Oral cancer tumor cells produce biochemical substances, tumor markers, differed from healthy individuals in expression or quantitative ratio, detectable in tissues and/or body fluids. Saliva, because of its accessibility, proximity and noninvasive approach, presents an ideal tool for the research of oral cancer tumor markers. The aim of this study will be to isolate, quantify, analyze the role and describe the kinetics of diadenosine tetraphosphate (Ap4A), Squamous Cell Carcinoma associated Antigen (SCCA), Trophoblast cell surface antigen (TROP2) in patients with OC, potentially malignant disorders (PMOD) and age and sex matched control group with a clear medical history. There are number of studies published on OC tumor markers isolated mostly in serum, however the satisfactory specificity and sensitivity still hasn't been reached. Liquid chromatography-ion trap-mass spectrometry, Multiple Reaction Monitoring method (LC-IT-MS, MRM) will be developed to isolate and quantify the above mentioned tumor markers. This method has not yet been used to quantify the above mentioned salivary tumor markers. Ap4A and TROP2 have never been isolated from saliva. The aim is to develop a tumor-specific test with a satisfactory statistical sensitivity and specificity and dynamically measure the levels of tumor markers, before and immediately after therapy - surgery/radiotherapy/chemotherapy or their combination, and during regular follow-up one and two years after surgery. As another novelty, the investigators aim to determine the markers circadian rhythm. A OC tumor specific test, with satisfactory sensitivity and specificity, would enable earlier OC diagnosis, possibly before the clinical appearance, raise the survival rate of OC patients, enable early diagnosis of recurrence and/or new primary tumors and ensure better post-treatment life-quality.
This is a non-randomized, open-label, multi-site phase II therapeutic trial of pembrolizumab and bavituximab in patients with locally advanced HCC. Locally advanced or metastatic HCC is defined as disease that is not amenable to surgical and/or locoregional therapies. Subjects must not have received prior systemic therapy for advanced HCC in keeping with the first-line setting of this study.
Phase III randomized trial to compare the efficacy in terms of overall survival of two follow-up strategies (conventional versus intensive) among smokers and/or alcohol drinkers patients, older than 35 year, in complete remission 2-4 months after treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma Patients will be randomized after the post-treatment check-up (clinical examination and reference imaging including PET-CT for patients ≥ N2) performed 2 to 4 months after the end of treatment. The randomization ratio is 1:1.
This phase II trial studies how well berzosertib (M6620) and carboplatin with or without docetaxel works in treating patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). M6620 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and docetaxel, 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. Giving M6620, carboplatin and docetaxel may work better in treating patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer compared to carboplatin and docetaxel alone.
Adolescents and young adults (AYA) patients experience significant distress in specific areas at diagnosis. The investigators hypothesize that providing developmentally-appropriate AYA-specific psychosocial care, with an individualized multi-disciplinary program will alleviate this distress, as well as improve health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The investigators' primary aim is to evaluate the impact of psychosocial interventions on HRQOL. The secondary aims are to firstly identify the types of psychosocial distress experienced and secondly, to assess the feasibility of implementing a psychosocial screening and intervention program amongst AYA patients newly diagnosed with cancer.
This phase II trial studies how well atezolizumab when given with glycosylated recombinant human interleukin-7 (CYT107) works in treating patients with urothelial carcinoma that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced), cannot be removed by surgery (inoperable), or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. CYT107 is a biological product naturally made by the body that may stimulate the immune system to destroy tumor cells. Giving atezolizumab and CYT107 may work better in treating patients with locally advanced, inoperable, or metastatic urothelial carcinoma compared to atezolizumab alone.
This is an open-label, multicenter, phase I study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of durvalumab ± tremelimumab in combination with chemoradiation in patients with advanced solid tumors
This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of nivolumab with or without ipilimumab in treating patients with female reproductive cancer that has come back (recurrent) or is high grade and has spread extensively throughout the peritoneal cavity (metastatic). 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.
This is a Phase I/IIA, open-label, multi-center trial to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity and preliminary clinical efficacy of INO-5401 + INO-9012 delivered by intramuscular (IM) injection followed by electroporation (EP), in combination with atezolizumab in participants with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic/recurrent Urothelial Carcinoma (UCa). The trial population is divided into two cohorts: Cohort A: Participants with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic/recurrent UCa, who have confirmed disease progression during or following treatment with anti-Programmed Death receptor-1/Programmed Death receptor Ligand-1 (anti-PD-1/PD-L1) therapy; Cohort B: Participants with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic/recurrent UCa, who are treatment naïve and ineligible for cisplatin-based chemotherapy. A safety run-in will be performed with up to six participants (safety analysis participants) from cohort A.
