Filter by:This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of sapanisertib and nivolumab and to see how well they work in treating patients with stage I-IV non-small cell lung cancer whose disease got worse on previous PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy. Sapanisertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. 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. Giving sapanisertib and nivolumab may help to control the disease.
This phase II trial tests the effect of atezolizumab given with usual chemotherapy during radiation therapy in treating patients with superior sulcus non-small cell lung cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin, carboplatin, etoposide, paclitaxel and pemetrexed, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high energy beams to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving atezolizumab with usual chemotherapy and radiation therapy may lower the chance of the tumor from growing or spreading.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety & efficacy of combination drugs versus placebo to treat metastatic melanoma and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
This study will evaluate the anti-tumor activity, safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of imgatuzumab, a monoclonal antibody against epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) with enhanced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) in patients with advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC). Quality of life of patients treated with imgatuzumab will also be assessed.
This phase II trial studies the effect of nivolumab and ADI-PEG 20 before surgery in treating patients with liver cancer that can be removed by surgery (resectable). 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. ADI-PEG 20 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the proteins needed for cell growth. Giving nivolumab and ADI-PEG 20 before surgery may help control liver cancer.
This clinical trial studies the effects of occupational therapy fatigue management in patients with renal cell cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Many patients diagnosed with cancer experience cancer-related fatigue. These patients that are also on immunotherapy can experience added distressing fatigue that impacts their daily lives. Occupational therapy uses a client-centered and holistic approach to work collaboratively with patients to assess fatigue and develop strategies to manage each individual's specific needs. Fatigue-based management is a fundamental component of occupational therapy rehabilitation regimens. This trial may help patients address and reduce their fatigue.
Patients with high risk of disease recurrence after curative resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) deserve active intervention. However, there's limited treatment choice for these patients. Anlotinib hydrochloride, a multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor for both tumor angiogenesis and proliferative signaling in cancer cells, is approved in China for the 3rd line treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer. In the current study, we are to evaluate the safety and effects of adjuvant anlotinib therapy for the patients who underwent curative resection for HCC with high risk of tumor recurrence, which is defined by Shanghai Score (Sun, et al. Chin Med J (Engl) 2017).
It is nowadays well established that the immune system can profoundly influence disease outcome in cancer patients. Increasing evidence is indeed showing that patients displaying spontaneous T cell-mediated immune response against their tumor (defined as immune surveillance) have higher chance to respond to therapies and display globally better prognosis. Conversely, patients whose tumor is characterized by immunosuppression, usually involving myeloid cells and chronic inflammation pathways, often undergo rapid progression and rarely benefit from therapy. Hence, capturing the immune features of individual tumors can help to predict disease course and tailor the therapeutic workup in clinical setting.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of chemotherapy and radiation in combination with the investigational study drugs zimberelimab (AB122) and etrumadenant (AB928) in subjects with a locally advances head or neck cancer. The study will also ask how the study drugs change the following: - The microbiome that lives in the mouth and on the skin - Immune cells as they respond to a skin wound - Scarring (fibrosis) caused by radiation After completing a screening phase, subjects will be assigned to one of three cohorts: - Cohort 1: Subjects who will receive cisplatin, radiation and zimberelimab followed by zimberelimab only. - Cohort 2: Subjects who will receive cisplatin, radiation, zimberelimab and etrumadenant followed by zimberelimab and etrumadent. - Cohort 3: Subjects who will receive cisplatin and radiation followed by an observation period. All three cohorts will be followed for a 24 months following the conclusion of the chemoradiation.
This phase II trial studies how well domatinostat (4SC-202) works in combination with avelumab in adult patients with treatment-naïve metastatic Merkel Cell Carcinoma
