Filter by:This phase II ComboMATCH treatment trial compares the effect of neratinib to the combination of neratinib and palbociclib in treating patients with HER2 positive solid tumors. Neratinib and palbociclib are in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. They work by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of tumor cells. Giving neratinib and palbociclib in combination may shrink or stabilize cancers that over-express a specific biomarker called HER2.
The knowledge of the histological diagnosis and its subtype of a renal parenchymal tumor is important for determine whether the choice of a specific regimen of chemotherapy, target therapy and immunotherapy could be suitable and effective for treating this tumor. Computed tomography (CT) has been considered as an excellent imaging modality for detecting intra-tumoral fat, and most of renal angiomyolipomas (AML) could be thus confidently diagnosed on computed tomography by showing intra-tumoral fat. However, if a renal parenchymal tumor has no detectable fat in the tumor on computed tomography, there is a long list of its diagnosis including benign neoplasms as angiomyolipoma with minimal fat, oncocytoma, metanephric adenoma, etc., epitheloid angiomyolipoma (eAML) malignant potential, malignant neoplasms as renal cell carcinoma (RCC), sarcoma, malignant eAML, etc. Furthermore, there are three kinds of anticancer drug (antiangiogenetic drug, mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors, immune modulators, and whether the anticancer drug is effective mainly depending on subtypes of RCCs. Nonetheless, computed tomography could not reliably differentiate histological types of renal parenchymal masses except renal AMLs with abundant fat. Therefore, for patients without established diagnoses by imaging examinations, further biopsy of the renal tumor is usually mandatory to validate the histological diagnosis and subtype. Thus, this study plans to enroll 60 patients with renal parenchymal masses which show no intra-tumoral fat on computed tomography. All enrolled patients will undergo multiparametric and fat-detection magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
About 33% of patients with myeloid or lymphoid malignancies experience relapse with HLA loss after haplo-HSCT. Due to the specificity of HLA-loss relapse, the 2019 European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) pointed out that for diagnosed HLA-loss patients, it is recommended to use different HLA-haploidentical donors, and lymphocyte infusions from the original donor cannot improve the prognosis. Clinical studies have found that second transplantation can achieve prolonged disease-free survival than chemotherapy for patients with HLA loss, and it may be an effective treatment strategy for these patients. However, due to the high standard of second hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), not all patients can find suitable donors. Since the first successful application of umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) by Gluckman et al. in France in 1988 for the treatment of Fanconi anemia, umbilical cord blood (UCB) has been widely used as a reliable source for HSCT in the treatment of hematological diseases. In 1998, Professor Yongping Song led the first successful UCBT in the treatment of leukemia, opening up the path of it in China. Compared with peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBST), UCBT has a higher engraftment rate. UCB contains more primitive and purer stem cells than bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells. UCBT can be performed with only 4 HLA matches, and the degree of rejection, the risk of disease relapse, and the incidence of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) are all relatively low, greatly improving the survival of patients. Although UCBT has been a potential treatment for second transplantation, the effective conditioning regimen is still under discussion. Improving the incidence of engraftment , the tolerance of conditioning, and reducing transplant-related mortality (TRM) are issues of great concern in second transplantation. A standard RIC regimen composed of fludarabine (200mg/m2) combined with cyclophosphamide (50mg/kg) and 2Gy or 3Gy total body irradiation (TBI) is the most common conditioning regimen used in UCBT. Although the tolerance of this RIC is acceptable, the relapse rate after transplantation is relatively high, and the implantation failure rate is also high in high-risk populations. The inclusion of thiotepa (10mg/kg) combined with fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and 4Gy TBI in an intensified version of the RIC regimen has improved the engraftment rate without increasing TRM. In addition, studies have also confirmed that increasing the dose of TBI can improve engraftment in transplant recipients at high risk of UCBT failure. The fludarabine/busulfan/melphalan (Flu/Bu/Mel) conditioning regimen was first used for salvaging UCBT in unresponsive hematological malignancies in 2016 and achieved good clinical outcomes. Subsequently, several transplant centers in Japan adopted the Flu/Bu/Mel conditioning regimen for UCBT and confirmed that, compared with the Flu/Bu4 regimen, it not only improved overall survival (OS) but also reduced disease relapse rate without increasing TRM. A recent multicenter retrospective study of UCBT in patients with acute myeloid leukemia in remission found that compared with the TBI/Cy conditioning regimen, the Flu/Bu/Mel conditioning regimen improved the engraftment rate and exerted the GVL effect, reducing NRM and improving OS. Based on the above, TBI/Flu/Bu/Mel as a conditioning regimen for secondary UCBT in patients with hematological malignancies who relapsed after allo-HSCT is safe and feasible, and is expected to improve the prognosis of these patients. Therefore, based on existing clinical experience with research evidence, our center plans to conduct a clinical study of low-dose TBI and FBM as a conditioning regimen for secondary UCBT in patients with hematological malignancies who relapsed after allo-HSCT, observing the improvement in the cumulative incidence of engraftment, disease relapse, GVHD, and survival rate in patients who received this regimen.
The study aims to assess the dynamics of incidence and mortality for all major groups of cancers for which the national data is available for the longest possible time series. The data obtained from publicly available sources are used.

The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical efficacy, safety, and oncologic outcomes of ileocecal resection (ICR) with D3 lymphadenectomy compared to standard right hemicolectomy(RHC) for cecal cancer.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to explore the impact of En bloc surgery and separation surgery combined with radiation therapy on the prognosis and survival of patients with spinal oligometastatic cancer, describe the clinical results, and optimize future treatment goals
This is a dose escalation and dose expansion study to compare how well BGB-43395, a cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) inhibitor, works as monotherapy or in combination with either fulvestrant or letrozole in participants with hormone receptor positive (HR+) and human epidermal growth factor 2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer (BC) and other advanced solid tumors. The main purpose of this study is to explore the recommended dosing for BGB-43395.
The primary purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of AB801 in participants with advanced malignancies, and to determine a recommended AB801 dose for expansion.
Some rare cancers are hard-to-treat and patients have a poor prognosis. It is known that some of these patients have targetable molecular alterations, and some benefit from targeted drugs. However in many cases these drugs are not approved for the rare cancers. In this study the aim is to do advanced molecular diagnostics to identify possible targets for therapy, and to treat accordingly.
