Filter by:In resectable locally advanced oral cavity cancer and oropharyngeal cancer, SBRT with the total dose of 18 Gy by three fractions will be delivered to the primary tumor and metastatic lymph nodes every other day. One week later, neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy of Sindilizumab (200mg) plus docetaxel (75mg/m2) and cisplatin (75mg/m2) will be administered every three weeks for three cycles. Then radical surgical resection will be performed and postoperative radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy will be supplemented according to the initial tumor staging and postoperative pathologic characteristics. The investigators aim to evaluate the pathological complete response rate and safety of the combined treatment of SBRT with chemoimmunotherapy in locally advanced cancers of oral cavity and oropharynx.
This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects and how well losartan, pembrolizumab and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for the treatment of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma that has come back to nearby tissue or lymph node after a period of improvement (locally recurrent), that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory) or that has spread from where it first started to multiple other placed in the body (oligometastatic). Losartan is a drug used to treat high blood pressure that may enhance the effects of other cancer treatments such as immunotherapy and radiation. Immunotherapy with pembrolizumab may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. SBRT is a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position a patient and precisely deliver radiation to tumors in the body (except the brain). The total dose of radiation is divided into smaller doses given over several days. This type of radiation therapy helps spare normal tissue. Giving losartan, pembrolizumab and SBRT may work better in treating patients with locally recurrent, refractory or oligometastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
Head and neck cancer is the malignant tumor with the highest morbidity and mortality, of which 60% present with locally advanced disease at initial diagnosis, and the 5-year survival rate of standard treatment is less than 30%. Standard of care (SOC) including adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapy can provides only about 5-10% clinical benefit. According to the available data on the application of immunotherapy as adjuvant therapy in operable patients, adjuvant immunotherapy is safe and feasible, with a significant trend of benefit. Based on the above positive and meaningful clinical needs and scientific basis, it is very necessary to carry out clinical trials of adjuvant immunotherapy. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of immune maintenance therapy in patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma who achieve MPR after neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy.
This is a phase II double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study of artesunate ointment for the treatment of HIV-negative men and women who have anal high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (anal HSIL)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of KC1036 versus investigator's choice of chemotherapy in patients with advanced recurrent or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Esophageal cancer accounts for more than half of the world, seriously affecting people's health in China. 95% patients are squamous cell carcinoma. Surgery is the preferred treatment for early and middle stage esophageal cancer, but patients with clinical stage T4b or other surgical contraindications have no surgical opportunity. In recent years, radical chemoradiotherapy has played a key role in the treatment of local advanced esophageal cancer with some poor predicting biomarkers. Oral bacteria may play a pathogenic role in cancer and other chronic diseases by producing chemical carcinogens and inflammatory factors through direct metabolism. A large number of studies have also suggested that tooth loss and poor oral hygiene are closely related to upper digestive tract cancer, indicating the possible role of oral microorganisms in the occurrence and development of upper digestive tract cancer, and saliva is the main source of oral flora colonization. Therefore, it is worth further research to explore the interaction between microbial metabolism imbalance and radiotherapy in patients with esophageal cancer. In summary, we intend to conduct a prospective cohort study to explore the role of salivary microbes in radiotherapy in patients with initially inoperable patients with local advanced esophageal cancer.
Patients with oligometastatic squamous cell carcinoma were enrolled and randomly assigned to receive either PD-1 inhibitor +/- chemotherapy combined with local therapy or PD-1 inhibitor +/- chemotherapy alone. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). The secondary end points included overall survival, side effects and local control.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sintilimab as adjuvant therapy in node-positive esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after radical surgery without neoadjuvant therapy. The main question it aims to answer is: • Efficacy of sintilimab as adjuvant therapy Participants will receive sintilimab 200 mg once on day 1, every 21 days(Q3W).
Although definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is the standard treatment option for unresectable locally advanced esophageal cancer, elderly patients tolerate intravenous concurrent CRT less well with age and comorbidities. Previous trials have demonstrated that CRT with oral S-1 was tolerable and provided significant survival benefits over radiotherapy alone in elderly patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, as high as 54% of patients with elderly ESCC experienced locoregional or distant recurrence after CRT. Therefore, a more effective regimen for older patients is needed. Immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting PD-1/PD-L1 have shown substantial clinical benefits in advanced esophageal cancer. Recently, the combination of immunotherapy with CRT has emerged as a promising strategy to improve clinical outcomes in locally advanced esophageal cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of toripalimab (an anti-PD-1 antibody) after concurrent CRT in elderly patients with locally advanced ESCC.
SCR-ESCC-02 is a multicenter, phase I/II clinical study to investigate the safety and efficacy of induction immunochemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy with anti-PD-1 therapy in patients diagnosed with locally advanced, unresectable esophageal cancer.
