Filter by:This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of low-dose radiation combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and immunotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. By reducing the radiation dose from 40 Gy in 20 fractions to 4 Gy in 2 fractions, the goal is to lessen the adverse reactions caused by radiotherapy. Additionally, the study explores whether low-dose radiation therapy can promote the cross-presentation of tumor-specific antigens and increase lymphocyte infiltration into the tumor site. Study also examines whether this approach can enhance tumor-specific immune responses, thereby potentially improving the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors.
Nowadays, there are few second-line treatment options for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In order to further improve the efficacy of second-line treatment for advanced HCC, we plan to conduct a single-arm, single-center and phase II clinical study to explore the efficacy and safety of the new second-line treatment for advanced HCC. Previous studies had shown that FOLFOX systemic chemotherapy tended to increase the median survival time of patients with advanced HCC, and significantly improved the progression-free survival and tumor response rate. Therefore, FOLFOX systemic chemotherapy has become one of the recommended treatments for advanced HCC in Chinese guidelines. A phase II clinical study had showed that sintilimab combined with fruquintinib was with a promising anti-tumor activity in patients with advanced HCC who had received standard treatment, with a median progression-free survival of 7.4 months and a tumor response rate of 31.6%. Furthermore, there was a synergistic effect among chemotherapy, immunotherapy and anti-angiogenic therapy. Our previous phase II study showed that the median progression-free survival was 9.73 months, the median overall survival time was 14.63 months, and the tumor response rate was 43.3% in HCC patients extrahepatic metastasis who received FOLFOX systemic chemotherapy combined with targeted and immunotherapy. The results from our study suggested that the combination therapy had excellent anti-tumor efficacy and safety profile. Therefore. We intend to conduct this clinical study to explore the efficacy and safety of FOLFOX systemic chemotherapy combined with fruquintinib and sintilimab in second-line treatment for patients with unresectable HCC after first-line treatment.
This is a single institution phase II study that will enroll patients with T0-3N0-2 p16-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) undergoing resection of all gross visible disease at the primary site and in the lymph nodes.
This clinical study aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of a new Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) C promoter methylation detection kit. All participants will undergo a series of diagnostic tests including VCA-IgA, EBNA1-IgA, and EBV-DNA assays. Additionally, nasopharyngeal swabs will be analyzed for EBV C promoter methylation. Confirmatory biopsy will be performed on all patients to establish a definitive diagnosis. This comprehensive approach seeks to assess the effectiveness of the methylation detection kit in a clinical setting.
VET3-TGI is an oncolytic immunotherapy designed to treat advanced cancers. VET3-TGI has not been given to human patients yet, and the current study is designed to find a safe and effective dose of VET3-TGI when administered by direct injection into tumor(s) (called an intratumoral injection) or when given intravenously (into the vein) both alone and in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with solid tumors (STEALTH-001).
A Randomized, Phase II Study of ivonescimab or cadonilimab or penpulimab in Combination With Cisplatin and Nab-paclitaxel in Patients With III-IVB (according to the 8th edition of UICC/AJCC staging) locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) eligible for resection. This proposed study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of preoperative administration of ivonescimab or cadonilimab or penpulimab combined with chemotherapy in HNSCC who are eligible for resection.
The investigators have demonstrated the crucial role of the liver-lung axis in the distant metastasis of NPC. Furthermore, the investigators have identified a potential therapeutic approach to improve outcomes in NPC patients by identifying those most suitable for anticoagulant therapy. Further, the combination of anticoagulant therapy and anti-IL6R therapy has shown promising results in enhancing the prognosis of NPC patients. These findings highlight the significance of targeting the liver-lung axis and utilizing personalized treatment strategies for NPC.
In recent years, with the emergence of various new targeted and immunotherapy drugs, drug therapy for advanced Hepatocellular carcinoma has also seen continuous breakthroughs. The effective rate, progression free survival, and overall survival of advanced Hepatocellular carcinoma have all significantly improved. At present, internationally recognized first-line treatments available include atezolizumab+bevacizumab (T+A), lenvatinib, sorafenib, Durvalumab+tremelimumab, etc. However, the effective rate of first-line treatment has not exceeded 50%, and most patients face difficulties such as drug resistance or treatment failure. Second line treatment for Hepatocellular carcinoma still faces many difficulties and challenges. The aim of this study is to explore the effectiveness and safety of HAIC combined with TQB2868 and Ramucirumab in second-line treatment of advanced HCC patients.
This phase II trial tests how well vemurafenib and cobimetinib work in treating patients with high risk differentiated thyroid carcinoma with BRAFV600E mutation, in preparation for radioactive iodine therapy. Vemurafenib and cobimetinib are used in patients whose cancer has a mutated (changed) form of a gene called BRAF. They are in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. They work by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of cancer cells. Giving vemurafenib and cobimetinib may work better to treat patients with high risk differentiated thyroid carcinoma with BRAFV600E mutation, in preparation for radioactive iodine therapy.
This is a multicenter, open-label phase I/II study, divided into 2 parts: Part 1 involves a dose-escalation study of ZG006 in which the safety and tolerability of ZG006 in patients with advanced small cell lung cancer or neuroendocrine carcinoma are explored. Upon completion of Part 1, investigators and the sponsor will discuss and determine two recommended phase II doses (RP2D) based on safety, preliminary efficacy, and pharmacokinetic results for use in Part 2. Part 2 is a phase II dose-expansion study of ZG006, aiming to investigate the efficacy and safety of ZG006 in patients with Neuroendocrine Carcinoma.
