The goal of this retrospective multicenter observational study is to understand and evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic management of pure forms of Florid Lobular Carcinoma In Situ (FLCIS) and Pleomorphic Lobular Carcinoma In Situ (PLCIS) of the breast. It addresses the significant challenges and controversies surrounding their clinical management, due to a lack of consensus or approved international guidelines. The main questions this study aims to answer are: - How is the diagnostic process for pure FLCIS and PLCIS currently managed? - What are the primary therapeutic approaches for these specific breast conditions? - How are positive and "close" surgical excision margins handled? - Is adjuvant treatment, such as hormone therapy and radiotherapy, necessary? - What factors are associated with recurrences? - What are the rates of recurrences and/or upgrade to invasive carcinoma? Participants will retrospectively collect all cases of pure FLCIS and PLCIS, reporting detailed data about their diagnostic and therapeutic management, as well as clinical and survival outcomes. Methodology: This international multicenter retrospective study will collect cases involving the pure forms of FLCIS and PLCIS of the breast. The study aims to provide insights into the current diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, along with the identification of opportunities to enhance clinical management, ultimately providing evidence-based recommendations and addressing the current lack of scientific literature regarding their treatment.
Atezolizumab (anti-programmed death-ligand 1; anti-PD-L1) in conjunction with bevacizumab (anti-vascular endothelial growth factor; anti-VEGF) has become the established standard first-line systemic treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Despite an improved objective response rate (ORR) of 27%, the majority of patients face HCC progression and liver failure [Finn et al., N Engl J Med 2020]. Developing a new combined treatment strategy to overcome resistance to anti-PD-L1 and anti-VEGF is essential to improve patient outcomes. Radiation treatment (RT) is notably effective in managing localized solid tumors and is a fundamental component of unresectable HCC treatment. Recent retrospective cohorts have demonstrated that proton RT targeting all hepatic tumors, along with PD-L1/programmed death-1 (PD-1) blockade, enhances ORR and progression-free survival for unresectable HCC patients, displaying a favorable safety profile (Su et al., Am J Cancer Res. 2022). Our preclinical study (Hsieh et al., Sci Immunol 2022) showcased that RT combined with PD-L1/PD-1 blockade stimulates immunogenic cell death and antigen cross-presentation in murine tumor models, promoting systemic antitumor T cell responses. Nonetheless, it is crucial to verify whether the combined therapy of proton RT, atezolizumab, and bevacizumab triggers synergistic antitumor effects and systemic immune activation in clinical trials for unresectable HCC. This phase II non-randomized trial aims to prospectively evaluate therapeutic efficacy, safety, and immunological responses in patients with unresectable HCC treated with atezolizumab/bevacizumab combined with proton radiotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether the combination of cabozantinib, nivolumab, and radiation therapy is a safe and effective treatment that causes few or mild side effects in people with renal cell cancer that has spread to the brain. The researches will also look at how the study treatment affects the quality of life of participants. They will measure the quality of life by having participants complete questionnaires.
This clinical trial is studying advanced solid tumors. Solid tumors are cancers that start in a part of your body like your lungs or liver instead of your blood. Once tumors have grown bigger in one place but haven't spread, they're called locally advanced. If your cancer has spread to other parts of your body, it's called metastatic. When a cancer has gotten so big it can't easily be removed or has spread to other parts of the body, it is called unresectable. These types of cancer are harder to treat. Patients in this study must have cancer that has come back or did not get better with treatment. Patients must have a solid tumor cancer that can't be treated with standard of care drugs. This clinical trial uses an experimental drug called SGN-CEACAM5C. SGN-CEACAM5C is a type of antibody-drug conjugate or ADC. ADCs are designed to stick to cancer cells and kill them. They may also stick to some normal cells. This study will test the safety of SGN-CEACAM5C in participants with solid tumors that are hard to treat or have spread throughout the body. This study will have 3 parts. Part A and Part B of the study will find out how much SGN-CEACAM5C should be given to participants. Part C will use the information from Parts A and B to see if SGN-CEACAM5C is safe and if it works to treat solid tumor cancers.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of M5A-IL2 immunocytokine (M5A-ICK) combined with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and to see how well they work in treating patients with colorectal cancer or xarcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) positive breast cancer that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) or has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) is a protein that is present in most colorectal cancers and in many other cancers, such as breast cancer, as well. SBRT uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Cytokines are signaling proteins that help control inflammation in the body. They allow the immune system to mount a defense if germs or cancer or other substances that can make people sick enter the body. Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a powerful cytokine able to regulate the immune responses that are important for anticancer immunity. Immunocytokines (also called antibody-cytokine fusion proteins) are small proteins that regulate the activity of immune cells. The M5A-IL2 immunocytokine (M5A-ICK) combines the cancer targeting features of the M5A antibody with the immune system regulation properties of the cytokine IL-2. Giving M5A-ICK in combination with standard of care (SOC) SBRT may work better in treating patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer or CEA positive metastatic breast cancer.
Given the feasibility of induction chemotherapy in oral cancer and the encouraging remission rates achieved, we explore the clinical application prospects of using tislelizumab in combination with traditional standard chemotherapy as induction treatment in oral cancer patients who have no radiological evidence of mandibular erosion but require mandibulectomy due to the tumor's proximity to the mandible, aiming to shrink tumor size and increase the rate of mandible preservation. Therefore, we propose to conduct a prospective, single-arm, single-center phase II exploratory clinical trial: we plan to select patients with locally advanced resectable primary oral squamous cell carcinoma T3-4N0-3M0 (stages III-IVb, excluding T1-2) after multidisciplinary consultation and assessment by imaging and clinical evaluation. We aim to explore the feasibility of a three-week treatment regimen combining tislelizumab with polyaletin paclitaxel and a platinum-based triplet, preliminarily assess its clinical efficacy, adverse reactions, and postoperative mandible preservation rate, to provide the best comprehensive treatment plan for the preservation rate of the mandible in oral squamous cell carcinoma.
Through the neoadjuvant treatment with a combination of Pucotenlimab and Lenvatinib, it eventually enables the successful and safe implementation of partial nephrectomy in patients with localized renal cancer, who have indications for nephron-sparing surgery but face significant difficulty in kidney preservation (T1b with an endophytic component ≥75% or T2).
The main purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of volrustomig compared to observation in participants with unresected locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC) who have not progressed after receiving definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT).
The proposed clinical trial with TPST-1495 can help people with two types of cancer, Endometrial Cancer (EC) and Colorectal Carcinoma (CRC), who need surgery. The investigator plans to evaluate how well TPST-1495 works against these cancers by checking blood samples and tumor tissues taken before and after the treatment to see if it is an effective treatment option to help the immune system fight against cancer.
