Filter by:This phase II trial compares the impact of subcutaneous (SC) nivolumab given in an in-home setting to an in-clinic setting on cancer care and quality of life. Currently, most drug-related cancer care is conducted in clinic type centers or hospitals which may isolate patients from family, friends and familiar surroundings for many hours per day. This separation adds to the physical, emotional, social, and financial burden for patients and their families. Traveling to and from medical facilities costs time, money, and effort and can be a disadvantage to patients living in rural areas, those with low incomes or poor access to transport. Studies have shown that cancer patients often feel more comfortable and secure being cared for in their own home environments. SC nivolumab in-home treatment may be safe, tolerable and/or effective when compared to in-clinic treatment and may reduce the burden of cancer and improve the quality of life in cancer patients.
The goal of the Dose Escalation phase of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or preliminary recommended dose for expansion (RDE) of NKT3447 in adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The goal of the Expansion phase of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and the preliminary antitumor activity of NKT3447 in adult subjects with cyclin E1 (CCNE1) amplified ovarian cancer at the RDEs selected in Dose Escalation and to determine the preliminary recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).
The goal of this study is to conduct the first randomized-controlled trial to determine the oncologic efficacy of lymph node dissection in participants with upper tract urothelial cell carcinoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To determine oncologic outcomes, specifically 2-year recurrence-free survival - To determine other oncologic outcomes including treatment-free, cancer-specific and overall survival - To determine time to recurrence and recurrence patterns - To determine use of adjuvant therapies - To determine perioperative complications Participants will undergo nephroureterectomy with or without lymph node dissection. Researchers will compare these two groups to determine the oncologic efficacy of performing lymph node dissection.
Abdominal lymph node metastasis (LNM) is one of the major modes of extrahepatic metastasis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Immunotherapy targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoints combined with targeted therapy is the standard treatment for HCC with abdominal LNM, but the outcome remains very poor, with an objective response rate of 5% to 30%. Previous studies have demonstrated that stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is an effective local treatment for HCC with abdominal LNM, with a high response rate of 60% to 80%. However, intrahepatic dissemination and distant metastasis remains the major recurrence pattern after SBRT in these patients, suggesting radiotherapy should be combined with systematic treatment. Recently, the combination of immunotherapy with SBRT has shown promising activity in HCC. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of SBRT followed by adebrelimab (an anti-PD-L1 antibody) and lenvatinib in HCC patients with portal abdominal LNM.
The investigators are trying to learn more about the personal perceptions and experiences regarding the needs of patients with liver cancer to help improve the care of all patients. The investigators would like to know whether there are needs that patients have or are aware of, especially those needs that the investigators have not been able to address. The investigators aim to develop a program that helps participants and participant's families to navigate the process of being diagnosed with liver cancer and receiving treatment.
The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of a combination regimen of Anti-PD1 monoclonal antibody, nimotuzumab, and capecitabin in treating recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients who have failed first-line platinum-based chemotherapy.
To evaluate the prognostic efficacy of neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy with tislelizumab, albumin paclitaxel and cisplatin followed by radical surgery and adjuvant therapy compared with standard therapy for patients with locally advanced and resectable oral squamous cell carcinoma.
Urothelial carcinomas are one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers worldwide. Postoperative patients carry a poor prognosis with an estimated five-year disease-specific survival rate of 50%. To improve overall survival and reduce the recurrent risk, chemotherapy is recommended as a standard of care. However, currently in Hong Kong, neoadjuvant (preoperational) chemotherapy and adjuvant (postoperative) chemotherapy are not commonly or regularly provided due to the concern of the potential harm from both physicians and patients. Recently, genetic signature from circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is emerging as a pivotal biomarker for detecting caner in early stage and molecular residual disease (MRD). With strengths of non-invasive and superior sensitivity, ctDNA is hopefully to serve as a cancer-agnostic surrogate analyte for risk stratification of tumor recurrence, thereby guiding individually tailored treatment. Therefore, this study is proposed to exploratively assess the benefit of ctDNA-guided approach for postoperative adjuvant therapy.
The objective of this single-center clinical study was to evaluate the disease control rate(DCR) and safety of multimodal radiotherapy in the treatment of patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) progressed after prior immunotherapy.
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most prevalent form of cancer among the Caucasian population. There are several subtypes of BCC with different clinical characteristics and treatment strategies. Superficial and nodular BCCs are low-risk BCC subtypes. The diagnosis and subtype of BCC can be confirmed by means of punch biopsy, but non-invasive diagnosis by means of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is proven to be a non-inferior alternative diagnostic instrument. Besides, non-invasive topical treatment is recommended as valuable treatment alternative to surgical excision for low-risk BCC. Since non-invasive diagnosis and treatment for low-risk BCC is being implemented into daily practice, we want to evaluate the real-world effectiveness of different invasive and non-invasive diagnostic and treatment strategies in the management of low-risk BCC. This real-world evidence will enhance our understanding of these management strategies for low-risk BCC in daily practice.
