Filter by:The investigators main objective is to show that OSNA technique is as accurate as pathological analysis (frozen section / HE staining and immunochemistry) to detect occult lymph node metastasis (micro and macrometastasis).
The study is to observe safety, survival effect and peripheral T-lymphocyte subsets of combination therapy with percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) and adoptive immunotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).
The purpose of this study is to validate of a predictive nomogram of response or resistance to targeted therapies in metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma
The primary goal of the study is to see if the PET/CT will be able to determine the precise location of the Y-90 particles within the liver and within the tumors. We hope to use this information in order to see if these particles distribute evenly throughout large tumors or if the particles go into the tumor which is located in the portal vein. The secondary goals are threefold. First correlate the distribution of Y90 particles (as demonstrated by PET/CT) with the degree of dead-tumor tissue. Second, see if there is a difference in the Y90 particle's distribution when a low particle load (1-3 million particles) is used compared to when a high particle load (6-8 million particles) is used. Lastly, compare the sensitivity of standard imaging ( bremsstrahlung imaging) currently being used for the Yttrium-90 angioembolization procedure to the sensitivity of the pair production PET research imaging.
In this study, participants with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma will receive preoperative chemoradiotherapy with paclitaxel,carboplatin and pembrolizumab then undergo surgery. The primary study hypothesis is that adding pembrolizumab will increase complete pathologic response rate at surgery.
The management of cancers and their therapeutic guidance was until shortly mostly based on histopathological considerations of the tumor. the development of targeted therapies is a turning point and keeps increase. These molecules target a specific molecular defect in the tumor making it more effective and more specific treatment. But these treatments are only effective if the tumor has a specific molecular abnormality that is characterized and known. These therapeutic progresses have been made possible through the decoding of the human genome and the molecular defects occurring during the carcinogenesis process. Now, dozens of therapies targeting a specific molecular abnormality are available in the therapeutic arsenal and dozens more are under development in clinical trials Phase 1 to 3. In recent years, the democratization of next generation sequencing has opened a new era in cancer research but also for molecular diagnostics. Indeed, the enormous sequencing capabilities offered by high-throughput sequencing technologies allow analysis in a limited time the entire coding sequence of the genome (exome), or even the entire genome of a tumor (whole genome sequencing). Thus, the evolution and the development of broadband and associated bioinformatics tools for genomics techniques now make it possible to establish the genetic profile of a tumor. Targeted diagnosis of molecular abnormalities and allows to propose and specifically targeted direct therapeutic identified genetic alterations and supposedly responsible for tumor development. An analysis of tumor exome by next-generation sequencing (NGS) and provides information on genetic modifications of these tumors. This study did not aim to evaluate a therapeutic strategy or treatment. The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical benefit of an analysis of exome performed in current practice at the Centre Georges-François Leclerc from Dijon. The analysis will be performed by quantifying the number of patients undergoing therapeutic proposal based on the results of the analysis of the profile of the tumor.
The purpose of this study is to identify maximum tolerated dose (MTD), that is, the highest dose of the study drug nivolumab that does not cause unacceptable side effects, for combination treatment of nivolumab and yttrium Y 90 glass microspheres (Y-90). Also, to evaluate the efficacy (the effect of drug on your tumor) and the tolerability (the effect of the drug on your body) of nivolumab, when given with standard of care Y-90 (Therasphere). Nivolumab is currently Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for other cancers, but has not yet been investigated in advanced or refractory hepatocellular carcinoma. Nivolumab is an antibody (a human protein that sticks to a part of the tumor and/or immune cells) designed to allow the body's immune system to work against tumor cells. Y-90 is currently FDA approved for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinomas, but has not yet been investigated in combination with nivolumab for this disease.
Angiogenesis, the development of new blood vessels, plays an important role in the disease development and tumor growth in many solid organ malignancies. Bevacizumab was the first anti-angiogenic drug to be approved in solid tumors and has shown advantageous activity with multiple tumor types. However, the responses from Bevacizumab are often transient due to the tumor's manipulative abilities to circumvent the usual pathways to find salvage pathways instead. Nintedanib has demonstrated anti-tumor activity in non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, and renal cell cancer. The combination of Bevacizumab and Nintedanib are being proposed to target the tumor's manipulation processes to generate alternate pathways for angiogenesis thus creating a potential benefit to delay tumor growth.
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of H3B-6527, and to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of H3B-6527.
This study is a dose escalation study of Ceramide NanoLiposome in patients with advanced solid tumors.
