Filter by:This trial aims to evaluate whether the addition of anti-PD-1 antibody to adjuvant postoperative chemoradiotherapy could improve disease free survival in patients with high-risk locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
Every year, about 6% of patients with malignant tumors are diagnosed as head and neck cancer. There are about 650000 new cases and 350000 deaths. A considerable number of patients have simple local recurrence in the short term after operation suggesting that the biological behavior of this kind of tumor is relatively more invasive and the overall prognosis is poor. This project intends to study the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy for short-term postoperative progression of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
Regarding oral cavity cancer, the high incidence of neck metastasis along with its impact on survival and prognosis are in favor of elective neck dissection. Moreover, occult metastases could develop at lower levels in the neck (levels IV-V) Regarding the tongue, the rate of skip (occult) metastasis involving unremoved level IV cervical lymph nodes in squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue ranges from 0 % - 11.4 %. However, no data is available or a correlation between the risk of level IV involvement and the affection of specific tongue subsites or a certain cutoff value of tumor thickness.
The goal of this trial is to test the efficacy and safety of cardenilimab combined with chemotherapy in the conversion therapy of locally advanced unresectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. type of study: clinical trial
The study is a prospective, longitudinal, non-interventional, multicenter study of participants with HNSCC who will have tissue and blood based molecular biomarker profiling during their standard of care treatment.
To learn if OCSCC patients can be safely given methylnaltrexone for 2 weeks before surgery.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test how safe and effective it is to treat early form of cancer cells found in the upper skin layer of the face, using a light-sensitive cream used in combination with a light source. The main questions this trial aims to answer are: - to confirm using laboratory testing, how much of the affected facial skin cancer section the treatment was able to remove, and; - seeing how many participants had no remaining affected facial skin cancer sections after treatment. Participants who qualify will be asked to complete 12 visits in total and will receive a total of two treatments, after voluntarily consent has been given.
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, with a 5-year survival rate of less than 50%. Radiotherapy is an important measure to control tumor recurrence. Although radiotherapy has been widely used in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, the 2-year local recurrence rate of patients with locally advanced disease is still as high as 50%-60%, and the distant metastasis rate is as high as 20%-30%. This is associated with a lower radiosensitivity in HNSCC. Our previous study has confirmed that type I collagen secreted by cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) can enhance the radioresistance of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. We also confirmed that pirfenidone could reduce type I collagen expression in CAFs and enhance radiosensitivity in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, we plan to translate the basic research into clinical practice and conduct a prospective interventional phase II clinical trial to investigate the safety and efficacy of pirfenidone as a radiosensitizer in HNSCC.
Inclusion of new biomarkers to improve the personalized treatment approach for HPV-positive and -negative oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) patients is urgently needed. Emerging evidences suggest that mutations in epigenetic regulators, as well as epigenetic changes, deeply influence the biology of OPSCC, thus representing attractive targets for the definition of novel molecular markers for this malignancy. Based on these considerations, our project aims to retrospectively identify a new mutational and epigenetic signature to identify OPSCC patients at high risk of early relapse, and to set up a new multicenter prospective study in order to validate it
This is an investigator-initiated, single-arm, exploratory clinical study.The study population consisted of treatment naive advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy and residual lesions irradiation of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
