Filter by:This phase I trial studies the best dose and side effects of talimogene laherparepvec in combination with 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, capecitabine, and chemoradiation before surgery in treating patients with rectal cancer that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue and lymph nodes. Drugs used in immunotherapy, such as talimogene laherparepvec, may stimulate the body's immune system to fight tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and capecitabine 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. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving talimogene laherparepvec, 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and capecitabine and chemoradiation before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.
This is a single-center, single-arm, open-label, Simon 2-stage, phase II trial in up to 55 patients with a potentially resectable, histologically-proven, adenocarcinoma or poorly differentiated carcinoma of the stomach, esophagogastric junction (EGJ), or lower third of the esophagus. Patients will receive neoadjuvant therapy consisting of 4 cycles of avelumab added to the modified chemotherapy regimen of docetaxel, cisplatin, 5- fluorouracil. Following surgery, pathologic response will be assessed. Patients will then receive adjuvant therapy consisting of 4 cycles of mDCF + avelumab. Patients will be followed to assess two-year disease-free survival rates. The primary objective of this study is to assess the effect on pathologic complete response rate (pCR) of adding avelumab to an mDCF regimen. The secondary objectives of this study are to determine the safety of adding avelumab to an mDCF regimen and assess its effect on two-year disease-free survival.
A Phase II Randomized Trial of Hypofractionated Proton Therapy in Patients With A Localized Prostate Adenocarcinoma
Focused stereotactic radiation treatment of localized prostatic adenocarcinoma. in order to quantify the delay between the focused treatment and the salvage procedure.
This is an open label, single-arm phase II, multi-institutional trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of nab-paclitaxel and FOLFOX (FOLFOX-A) as first line therapy for patients diagnosed with histologically-confirmed advanced gastric/GEJ adenocarcinoma.
A Phase Ib/II, open label, multi-center, randomized study designed to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary anti-tumor activity of immunotherapy-based treatment combinations in patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic G/GEJ cancer (hereafter referred to as gastric cancer) and esophageal cancer. Two cohorts of patients with gastric cancer have been enrolled in parallel in this study: the second-line (2L) Gastric Cancer Cohort consists of patients with gastric cancer who have progressed after receiving a platinum-containing or fluoropyrimide-containing chemotherapy regimen in the first-line setting, and the first-line (1L) Gastric Cancer Cohort consists of patients with gastric cancer who have not received prior chemotherapy in this setting. In each cohort, eligible patients will be assigned to one of several treatment arms. Additionally, a cohort of patients with esophageal cancer who have not received prior systemic treatment for their disease will be enrolled in this study. Eligible patients will be randomized to chemotherapy or the combination of chemotherapy with checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy.
Barrett's oesophagus is a transformation of the esophageal mucous membrane there intestinal metaplasia under the effect of gastro- esophageal reflux disease (GERD). This metaplasia can evolve in low grade dysplasia LGD) , high grade dysplasia (HGD) then invasive adenocarcinoma. The treatment of the HGD of the Barrett is the endoscopic treatment. It is about a superficial treatment of tumor without ganglionar invasion by definition. The endoscopic treatment of the Barrett began in the 2000s, and showed its long-term efficiency. The studied factors of recurrences are the length of the Barrett, the influence of the eradication completes of the Barrett besides the eradication of the dysplasia, as well as the duration of spacing of the procedures. An anatomical zone is particularly delicate to treat. It is about the anatomical junction between the oesophagus and the stomach appointed junction oeso-gastric or cardia or line Z. This almost virtual zone is the site of most of the recurrence. The first cause of the oesophagus of Barrett and of its transformation in HGD is the reflux. This reflux can be handled by medicinal action inhibitor of the pump with proton (PPI) or by surgery (hemi-fundo plicator). This reflux is probably the cause of the long-term recurrence found in the literature. The surgery is a good treatment of the reflux with however unsatisfactory long-term results. On the other hand, the surgery is little used after endoscopic treatment of a HGD not to compromise the surveillance and the detection of a second offense potentially masked in the surgical fundo-plicator. The endoscopic treatment of the expensive ebb because of the based necessary material too on a fundo-plicator is complicated with use in reason also of his cost. The medical treatment by PPI for life, besides his duration and thus the potential hardness for the patient, presents long-term complications recently described. Effects on the appearance of gastric precancerous lesion is not certain, but this association with an osteoporosis is more proved true. The PPI could also be a etiologic factor of chronic renal insufficiency and insanity. An endoscopic treatment describes by Inoue " Anti-Reflux Mucosectomy " ( ARMS) allows to decrease the gastro- esophageal reflux disease. This treatment is an equivalent of on treatment of the line Z which would at the same time allow to make sure of the decrease of recurrence on the line Z by complete treatment of this one and to handle the reflux of these patients. In this experimental series, 10 patients having made this endoscopic treatment were able to stop their treatment by PPI. The purpose of this study will be to make sure of the efficiency of the endoscopic treatment of the reflux by it on treatment of this line Z while decreasing the frequent recurrences on this line Z.
A dose escalation trial to assess the safety of plerixafor in patients with advanced pancreatic, high grade serous ovarian and colorectal cancer. To identify the proof of mechanism, by demonstrating alterations in T-cell tumour distribution, ideally associated with loss of tumour cells, measured by immunostaining, and changes in FDG uptake.
This randomized phase III trial studies how well hypofractionated radiation therapy works compared to conventional radiation therapy after surgery in treating patients with prostate cancer. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects. Conventional radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, gamma rays, neutrons, protons, or other sources to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. It is not yet known whether giving hypofractionated radiation therapy or conventional radiation therapy after surgery may work better in treating patients with prostate cancer.
This study is being done to test a new treatment plan for large tumors in the sinus or nasal cavity that will include endoscopic surgery plus chemotherapy and proton-beam radiation therapy.
