Filter by:Background: For some cancers associated with human papillomavirus (HPV), standard treatments are not helpful. Researchers want to see if a vaccine for HPV combined with a drug called M7824 (MSB0011359C) has a better effect on these cancers than when they work alone. Objective: To find a safe dose of HPV vaccine alone or combined with M7824. Also, to test if either HPV vaccine alone or combined with M7824 causes a better immune response. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with locally advanced or metastatic HPV associated cancer (Phase I) or stage II or III p16-positive oropharyngeal cancer (Phase II) Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood, urine, and heart tests Possible photos of skin lesions Computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or nuclear bone scan: Participants will lie in a machine that takes pictures of the body. For the CT scan, they may have a contrast agent injected into a vein. Participants may have up to 2 tumor biopsies. For participants in Phase II, this may be performed with a thin tube placed through the nose into the airway. Participants will receive the HPV vaccine alone or with M7824. For participants on the Phase II, they will receive two doses of HPV vaccine under the skin either alone or with M7824 as an infusion spaced two weeks apart. This will be done prior to their planned chemoradiation or surgery. For participants on the Phase I, they will get the HPV vaccine injected under the skin 2 to 3 times in the first month. Then they will have a booster every 4 weeks. They will receive M7824 as an infusion into a vein every 2 weeks. Treatment will last up to 1 year. After they stop treatment, participants will have a visit within 4 weeks. They will then be contacted for long-term follow-up every year, for the rest of their lives. ...
Background: More than 30,000 cases of human papillomavirus (HPV) associated cancers occur annually in the United States. When these cancers spread, they do not respond well to standard treatments and are often incurable. Researchers want to see if a mix of drugs can help. Objective: To learn if a mix of immunotherapy drugs can shrink tumors in people with HPV associated cancers. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with locally advanced or metastatic HPV associated cancer, such as cervical cancers; cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (P16+) oropharyngeal cancers; anal cancers; vulvar, vaginal, penile, and squamous cell rectal cancers; or other locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors (e.g., lung, esophagus) that are known HPV+ cancers Design: Participants will be screened with: - medical history - disease confirmation (or tumor biopsy) - physical exam - body scans (computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and/or nuclear) - blood tests - electrocardiogram (to measure the electrical activity of the heart) - urine tests. Participants will get PDS0101 injected under the skin every 4 weeks for 6 doses. Then they will get it every 3 months for 2 doses. Participants will get M7824 (MSB0011395C) by intravenous infusion every 2 weeks. For this, a needle is inserted into a vein. The drug is given over a 1-hour period. Participants will get NHS-IL12 injected under the skin every 4 weeks. Participants will get the study drugs for up to 1 year. They will visit the NIH every 2 weeks. They will repeat the screening tests during the study. About 28 days after treatment ends, participants will have a follow-up visit or telephone call. Then they will be contacted every 3 months for 1 year, and then every 6 months after that, for the rest of their life. Patients with cervical cancer with prior pelvic radiation and boost brachytherapy will be enrolled in a separate cohort to evaluate safety and preliminary evidence of efficacy...
This is a monocentric, prospective, non-comparative phase II study with minimal risks and constraints. The study will aim to assess the curative treatment of radio-induced mucositis by photobiomodulation using LED lamp.
This protocol investigates the effect of a high dose dexamethasone regimen in the treatment of postoperative pain following Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS). The protocol consists of three substudies. 1. Randomized double-blinded clinical trial assigning half of the participants to a high-dose dexamethasone regimen while the other half will receive a low-dose dexamethasone dosage and placebo in the first postoperative period. 2. A investigation of "Why in hospital?" following TORS. From the first postoperative day until discharge reasons for continued hospitalization will be registered in order to identify clinical and organizational factors contributing to hospitalization 3. An assessment of "Days Alive and Out of Hospital" following TORS. From the day of surgery and the first 12 postoperative months all admissions to a hospital ward will be registered along with admission reasons. Any death during the first 12 months will be noted with a cause of death.
The aim of this study is to identify HPV molecular signature in head and neck cancer to establish a new classification for positive human papillomavirus oropharyngeal tumor
CompARE is a multicentre, phase III open-label randomised controlled trial using an adaptive, Multi-Arm, Multi-Stage (MAMS) design.
Open-label, interventional, multicentric, randomized, phase III study. Cancer studied is the oropharyngeal cancer. Study is composed by 2 arms of subjects: prophylactic or reactive percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube placement. All subjects will be treated with a cisplatin standard chemotherapy regimen and by simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT).
The PEARL study will recruit approximately 50 patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) who are about to undergo primary treatment with concurrent chemo-radiation from South Wales (Velindre Cancer Centre and Singleton Hospital, Swansea) and Bristol. The main aim is to see whether it is feasible to preform a positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) scan after 2 weeks of radiotherapy and re-plan the radiotherapy based on this PET-CT scan, to re-distribute the dose of radiotherapy being delivered, so that a smaller area of normal tissues in the mouth and throat are treated to a high dose of radiotherapy.
The oropharynx is a complex anatomical structure necessary for nasal breathing, swallowing and phonation. The removal of oropharyngeal cancers can lead to sequelae, particularly in the case of resections affecting the soft palate. The main sequelae are represented by rhinolalia and swallowing disorders with nasal regurgitation. The treatment of oropharyngeal tumors is based on primary surgery or radiotherapy, but tumors of the soft palate are often treated by radiotherapy or radio-chemotherapy first. Surgery is often kept for relapses, because it is considered to lead to important sequelae. However, chemoradiotherapy of the oropharynx is also responsible for acute toxicities, and late sequelae can be frequent and important. Recent publications tend to show that primary surgery would give better survival rates compared to radiotherapy, particularly in advanced stages, including viro-induced cancers. In addition, primary surgery can reduce the dose of radiation delivered to the oropharynx and thus reduce its long-term toxicity. It is currently possible to reconstruct a loss of substance after surgery of oropharyngeal cancers, including the soft palate by using free flaps, limiting the postoperative sequelae usually observed without reconstruction. There is little data on reconstructions of the soft palate, their sequelae and their impact on the quality of life.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether radiotherapy to some of the lymph node areas can be safely omitted to decrease side effects without increasing the risk of the tumour coming back.
