Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of first-line with recombinant anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody#SCT200#and standard chemotherapy in patients with Recurrent and/or Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
This phase II trial studies how well nivolumab works, with or without BMS986205, in treating patients with stage II-IV squamous cell cancer of the head and neck. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. BMS986205 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving nivolumab with BMS986205 may work better than nivolumab alone in treating patients with squamous cell cancer of the head and neck.
This phase II Lung-MAP trial studies how well rucaparib works in treating patients with genomic loss of heterozygosity (LOH) high and/or deleterious BRCA1/2 mutation stage IV non-small cell lung cancer or that has come back. Rucaparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Safety and tolerability of neoadjuvant nivolumab for locally advanced resectable oral cancer, combined with [18F]BMS-986192 / [18F]-FDG PET imaging and immunomonitoring for response prediction
This is a single-centre feasibility study designed to assess the safety, tolerability and engraftment of MET-4 bacterial strains when given in combination with chemoradiotherapy (CRT). The study will involve a prospective cohort of 30 patients diagnosed with Locoregionally-Advanced Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (LA-OPSCC) to be treated with CRT as per standard of care at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. All patients enrolled will receive MET-4 in addition to standard CRT. MET-4 is administered orally as an initial daily loading dose over 2 days followed by a daily maintenance dose of MET-4 and will be administered until week 4 of CRT or unacceptable toxicity whichever occurs earlier and in the absence of criteria to discontinue MET-4. This protocol does not determine eligibility to receive treatment with concurrent CRT. It is anticipated that patient accrual will be completed within 12 months.
Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is one of the most frequent malignancies worldwide, and an increasing incidence has been documented over the past decades. Despite optimal initial approach, which can be curative in the majority of cases, a proportion of patients present with locally advanced or unresectable disease, leading to significant morbidity. In addition, metastases of cSCC may affect 2 to 5% of individuals diagnosed with this disease. In the setting of advanced cSCC, no standard systemic treatment has been established, and treatment options are frequently adapted from those applied to squamous cell carcinoma arising from other sites, based on a low level of evidence and often with short-lived benefits. cSCC are potentially immunogenic neoplasms with an unmet need for therapeutic options, having sun exposure and chronic inflammation as the most significant risk factors. Using the anti-PD1 monoclonal antibody nivolumab to treat patients with cSCC and planned scientific correlates, investigators believe that the safety and efficacy of immune activating therapy for this disease can be assessed. This is a multi-center, Simon two-stage, phase II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the anti-PD1 monoclonal antibody nivolumab for systemic-treatment-naïve patients with metastatic and/or locally advanced cSCC. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy, as assessed by the best objective response rate (complete response + partial response) at 24 weeks according to RECIST criteria, of nivolumab in patients with advanced cSCC. Secondary objectives are to assess the safety/tolerability of the treatment, to determine the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates at 24 weeks, and to evaluate the objective response rate as assessed by immune-related response criteria (irRC). Treatment will be given every 14 days until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of consent/patient decision. If the patient continues to benefit from treatment with nivolumab, treatment will be continued for up to 12 months. Patients will be reassessed at week 12 and every 12 weeks thereafter until week 52, and then as per discretion of the treating investigator. A tumor biopsy will be performed before treatment initiation, unless contraindicated and optional biopsies will be performed at week 13 and following disease progression. Serial blood samples will be obtained at baseline, during, and after treatment.
This is a randomized, double-blind, study that compares pembrolizumab (MK-3475) with placebo given as adjuvant therapy in participants with high-risk locally advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (LA cSCC) that have undergone surgery with curative intent in combination with radiotherapy. The primary hypothesis is that pembrolizumab is superior to placebo in increasing recurrence free survival (RFS).
The purpose of this study is to find out if the addition of nivolumab can improve 2 year progression free survival (PFS) as compared to standard of care of fractionated radiation therapy (RT) and carboplatin/paclitaxel in subjects with high risk HPV-related squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx (tonsil, base of tongue, oropharyngeal wall, soft palate). Fractionated means the radiation will be administered in fragments or parts across multiple days.
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.
This proof-of-concept study aims to assess the clinical and biological effects of Atezolizumab combined with Bevacizumab in advanced previously treated squamous-cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC).
