Filter by:This randomized phase II trial studies how well pazopanib hydrochloride with or without ascorbic acid work in treating patients with kidney cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery. Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Ascorbic acid may help pazopanib hydrochloride stop tumor growth and improve treatment survival. Giving pazopanib hydrochloride and ascorbic acid may work better in treating patients with kidney cancer.
The purpose of this first in human and proof of concept study is to characterize the safety, tolerability and initial efficacy of CLL442 in patients with Squamous Cell Carcinoma in situ (SCCis) to enable further clinical development of CLL442.
This study will assess efficacy (based on response rate) and safety (based on grade ≥ 3 severe adverse effects) of the combination Gemcitabine Cisplatin (GC) + anti-PD-L1 (avelumab) in first-line treatment for locally advanced or metastatic urothelial bladder cancer patients, after 6 cycles of treatment (or at 18 weeks if less than 6 cycles have been given, or earlier if a second line treatment is needed, before this new anticancer treatment has been started).
It has been well established that malignant tumors tend to have low levels of oxygen and that tumors with very low levels of oxygen are more resistant to radiotherapy and other treatments, such as chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Previous attempts to improve response to therapy by increasing the oxygen level of tissues have had disappointing results and collectively have not led to changing clinical practice. Without a method to measure oxygen levels in tumors or the ability to monitor over time whether tumors are responding to methods to increase oxygen during therapy, clinician's reluctance to use oxygen therapy in usual practice is not surprising. The hypothesis underlying this research is that repeated measurements of tissue oxygen levels can be used to optimize cancer therapy, including combined therapy, and to minimize normal tissue side effects or complications. Because studies have found that tumors vary both in their initial levels of oxygen and exhibit changing patterns during growth and treatment, we propose to monitor oxygen levels in tumors and their responsiveness to hyperoxygenation procedures. Such knowledge about oxygen levels in tumor tissues and their responsiveness to hyper-oxygenation could potentially be used to select subjects for particular types of treatment, or otherwise to adjust routine care for patients known to have hypoxic but unresponsive tumors in order to improve their outcomes. The overall objectives of this study are to establish the clinical feasibility and efficacy of using in vivo electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) oximetry—a technique related to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)—to obtain direct and repeated measurements of clinically useful information about tumor tissue oxygenation in specific groups of subjects with the same types of tumors, and to establish the clinical feasibility and efficacy of using inhalation of enriched oxygen to gain additional clinically useful information about responsiveness of tumors to hyper-oxygenation. Two devices are used: a paramagnetic charcoal suspension (Carlo Erba India ink) and in vivo EPR oximetry to assess oxygen levels. The ink is injected and becomes permanent in the tissue at the site of injection unless removed; thereafter, the in vivo oximetry measurements are noninvasive and can be repeated indefinitely.
This study will evaluate the pharmacodynamic (PD), safety, antitumor activity, and PK of eFT508 in female subjects who have pathologically documented, radiographically measurable, metastatic or locally advanced and unresectable TNBC and have received prior cancer therapy regimen for metastatic disease, and in male and female subjects who have histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced HCC not amenable to surgical resection and have failed systemic therapy.
This is a Phase 1b/2, open-label, multicenter study of DSP-7888 Dosing Emulsion in combination with checkpoint inhibitors (nivolumab or pembrolizumab) in adult patients with solid tumors, that consists of 2 parts: dose search part of the study (Phase 1b and Phase 1b Enrichment Cohort) and the dose expansion part of the study (Phase 2). In Phase 1b of this study there will be 2 arms: Arm 1 and Arm 2. In Arm 1, there will be 6 to 12 patients who will be dosed with DSP-7888 Dosing Emulsion and nivolumab and in Arm 2 there will be 6 to 12 patients who will be dosed with DSP-7888 Dosing Emulsion and pembrolizumab. In addition, an enrichment cohort of a further 10 patients who have locally advanced or metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma or Urothelial Cancer with primary or acquired resistance to previous checkpoint inhibitors will be enrolled into Phase 1b of the study to help evaluate the preliminary antitumor activity of DSP-7888 Dosing Emulsion at the safe dose level identified in the dose-search part of the study, and will be dosed with DSP-7888 Dosing Emulsion and nivolumab, or DSP-7888 Dosing Emulsion and pembrolizumab, as per the investigator's preference. At the safe, recommended dose determined in Phase 1b, platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) patients will be enrolled in Phase 2 of the study with DSP-7888 Dosing Emulsion, exploring the combination with pembrolizumab (Arm 2). In Phase 2, approximately 40 patients with PROC will be initially enrolled; additional patients may be enrolled to further assess anti-tumor activities, but the total sample size will not exceed 60 patients. This brings the total maximum study population to approximately 84 patients.
[18F] FMISO Positron Emission Tomography (PET) to determine hypoxia in patients with HCC treated with TACE.
This is a feasibility trial of anti-PDL1/PD1 (pembrolizumab) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in patients with advanced, platinum-refractory urothelial carcinoma.
In this multi-institution phase I/II trial, the investigators have chosen paclitaxel and carboplatin using a schedule and doses identical to those used in the CROSS trial. Following a run-in with nivolumab alone at 240 mg IVPB every 2 weeks for 2 doses, nivolumab at 240 mg every 2 weeks will be added to paclitaxel and carboplatin, which will be dosed according to the standard of care established by the CROSS trial: paclitaxel 50 mg/m2 weekly for 6 weeks and carboplatin AUC 2 weekly for 6 weeks. Concurrent radiation will be administered with chemotherapy at 1.8 Gy/fraction × 28 fractions to a total dose of 50.4 Gy, the standard radiation dose administered in the United States for trimodality therapy that includes concurrent therapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel. A decrease in dose to 41.4 Gy per the protocol established by van Hagen, et al. will be permitted before discontinuing therapy due to unacceptable toxicity. While the CROSS study administered only 5 weekly doses of chemotherapy during the 5 weeks of radiation, the higher dose of 50.4 Gy (1.8 Gy/fraction ×28 fractions over 5½ weeks) utilized in this study permits for a sixth dose during the additional week of radiation.
This research study is evaluating the safety and effectiveness of 2 immunotherapy drugs in combination with radiation therapy as a possible treatment for recurrent or metastatic gynecologic cancer. The names of the immunotherapy drugs involved in this study are: - Durvalumab - Tremelimumab
