Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well tavokinogene telseplasmid with electroporation (tavo-EP), pembrolizumab, and epacadostat work in treating patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck that cannot be removed by surgery. Tavokinogene telseplasmid with electroporation is a gene therapy that may delay of tumor growth and which may have less toxicity than other methods of gene delivery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Epacadostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving tavokinogene telseplasmid with electroporation, pembrolizumab, and epacadostat may work better in treating squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
A study evaluating the safety, pharmacokinetics, and biomarker profiles of multiple study drugs as monotherapy in subjects with newly diagnosed, treatment-naïve locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck who are candidates for surgical resection.
This study is an open-label, single arm phase 1b safety study of CAR2 Anti-CEA CAR-T cell hepatic arterial infusions for pancreatic carcinoma patients with carcinoembryonic antigen positive (CEA+) liver metastases resistant to standard therapy who meet all other eligibility criteria.
This early phase I trial studies how well nivolumab and yttrium-90 work in treating patients with liver cancer who are undergoing surgical resection. 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. Radioactive drugs, such as yttrium-90, may carry radiation directly to tumor cells and not harm normal cells. Giving nivolumab and yttrium-90 may work better in treating patients with liver cancer.
This trial studies how well stereotactic body radiation therapy works in treating patients with liver cancer. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method can kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the commonest solid malignancies in Hong Kong as well as globally. Transarterial therapy has been playing an important role in the treatment algorithm for patients with HCC. The primary purpose of transarterial therapy is eradication of the viability of the targeted tumors. The treatment outcomes have been variable among the various treatments, in general, there is still much room for improvement, especially for large size tumors. From the studies on Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), it is known that the treatment outcome is affected by the nature and the formulation of therapeutic agents that are delivered, which is related to the angioarchitecture of the tumor. Knowledge on the angioarchitecture of HCC is essential for the understanding of the requirements for effective transarterial treatment of HCC. This prospective study is aimed to study the angioarchitecture of HCC.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of birinapant when given together with intensity modulated re-irradiation therapy (IMRRT) in treating patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma that has come back at or near the same place as the original (primary) tumor (locally recurrent). Birinapant may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking IAP, a protein needed for tumor cell survival. IMRRT uses thin beams of radiation of different intensities that are aimed at the tumor from many angles. This type of re-irradiation therapy reduces the damage to healthy tissue near the tumor. Giving birinapant with IMRRT may lower the chance of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma growing or spreading.
Nab-paclitaxel and carboplatin showed better treatment response compared with cremophor-based paclitaxel and carboplatin as first-line therapy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer, especially for squamous cell cancer. This study is conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nab-paclitaxel, carboplatin and concurrent radiotherapy in patients with local advanced inoperable squamous cell lung cancer.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the combination of nivolumab and abemaciclib for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. Other goals of this study are to learn about the side effects that this combination of drugs may cause and to learn more about how these drugs work by studying blood and tissue.
The main objective of this study is to determine the biodistribution and intra-tumor accumulation of [89Zr]Zr-BI 754111 at baseline and its change upon treatment
