Filter by:Study of Chidamide Combined With Immunotherapy in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma Who Had Previously Received Platinum-based Chemotherapy
This phase I trial investigates the side effects of cabozantinib and nivolumab in treating patients with cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) and who are undergoing treatment for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. 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. Giving cabozantinib and nivolumab may shrink or stabilize cancer in patients undergoing treatment for HIV.
Background: Metastatic urothelial carcinoma is lethal and has no cure. Response rates to current treatments are modest. Researchers want to find new strategies to treat the disease. In this study, they will test a drug called Bintrafusp alfa (M7824). The drug is a new immunotherapy that blocks the pathways that cancer cells use to stop the immune system from fighting cancer. Objective: To learn if M7824 can help the immune system's ability to fight urothelial cancer. Eligibility: People age 18 and older who have urothelial cancer that has spread to other parts of their body and they have been previously treated with chemotherapy or immunotherapy Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will have blood and urine tests. They will have imaging scans. They will have an electrocardiogram to measure heart function. Their ability to perform their normal activities will be evaluated. They may have a tumor biopsy. They will take a pregnancy test if needed. Participants will repeat some of the screening tests during the study. Treatment will be given in a series of 28-day cycles. Participants will get M7824 once every 2 weeks. It is given through an intravenous infusion. For this, a small plastic tube is put into an arm vein. They will get M7824 until their disease gets worse, they have unacceptable side effects, or they decide to stop treatment. Participants will have a follow-up visit 30 days after treatment ends. Then they will be followed every 12 weeks in the clinic or by telephone/email. Follow-up will last indefinitely.
This phase II trial studies the safety and feasibility of utilizing acupuncture in patients with high-risk bladder cancer that has not spread to the surrounding muscle (non-muscle invasive) undergoing treatment with Intravesical BCG. BCG is a weakened form of the bacterium Mycobacterium bovis that does not cause disease. It is used in a solution to stimulate the immune system in the treatment of bladder cancer. Unfortunately, many patients experience side effects such as pelvic pain, painful urination, severe urgency, frequency, urge incontinence, need to urinate at night, and/or infectious complications. These side effects may cause patients to delay or stop BCG treatment. Acupuncture is a medical intervention in which fine metallic needles are inserted into anatomical locations of the body to stimulate the peripheral and the central nervous system. Giving acupuncture before each intravesical BCG treatment may help to reduce the side effects of intravesical BCG, and help patients complete treatment. Specific outcomes of interest include acceptability to patients, effect of acupuncture on intravesical BCG-related side effects, and adverse events associated with acupuncture.
This phase I trial identifies the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of BAY 1895344 in combination with chemotherapy in treating patients with solid tumors or urothelial cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). BAY 1895344 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Cisplatin and gemcitabine are chemotherapy drugs that stop the growth of tumor cells by killing the cells. Combining BAY 1895344 with chemotherapy treatment (cisplatin, or cisplatin and gemcitabine) may be effective for the treatment of advanced solid tumors, including urothelial cancer.
sEphB-HSA may prevent tumor cells from multiplying and blocks several compounds that promote the growth of blood vessels that bring nutrients to the tumor. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the combination of Pembrolizumab + sEphB4-HSA in the population of patients with previously untreated advanced (metastatic or recurrent) urothelial carcinoma who are chemotherapy ineligible or who refuse chemotherapy.
Urothelial carcinoma (UC) is common malignancy and is considered to be one of the costliest cancers. The traditional diagnostic methods of UC present with some shortcomings. For example, the specificity of CTU remains low while cystoscopy is invasive and expensive. Therefore, a noninvasive diagnostic method with high accuracy is urgently needed. Our previous study has proved that UroCAD, which is able to detect chromosomal aberrations of the urine exfoliated cells, is a reliable method in diagnosing UC with sensitivity and specificity of 82.5% and 96.9%, respectively. But its potential in UC patient follow-up hasn't been assessed yet and the the accuracy of UroCAD in detecting UC still need to be further validated. The investigators here intended to investigate whether UroCAD can be used in UC patient follow-up and further validate the accuracy of UroCAD in diagnosing UC.
A single-arm, two-stage, open-label, phase 2 study investigating the safety and efficacy of intravesical gemcitabine/docetaxel for bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG)-naïve patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).
A phase 1/2, open-label, study to determine the safety and preliminary efficacy of APR-246 in combination with pembrolizumab in subjects with solid tumor malignancies. The study will include a safety lead-in portion followed by a phase 2 expansion portion in specific disease groups.
