Filter by:The purpose of this study is to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of niraparib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors and a pathogenic or likely pathogenic tumor PALB2 (tPALB2) mutation.
This phase II trial studies the effect of chemoradiation and pembrolizumab followed by pembrolizumab and lenvatinib before surgery in treating patients with esophageal or esophageal/gastroesophageal junction cancer that has not spread to other places in the body (non-metastatic). Pembrolizumab is an immunotherapy drug that works by harnessing the immune system to attack cancer. Lenvatinib is an anti-cancer drug that works by stopping or slowing down the growth of cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, 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 x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving chemoradiation and pembrolizumab followed by pembrolizumab and lenvatinib before surgery may kill more tumor cells.
This is a first-in-human, Phase 1/2 open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and biomarker study of CBX-12 in subjects with advanced or metastatic refractory solid tumors.
This is a Phase II, randomized, blinded, active-controlled, global, multicenter study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of lomvastomig and tobemstomig, compared with nivolumab, in patients with advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma (ESCC) refractory or intolerant to fluoropyrimidine- or taxane- and platinum-based regimen. Following approval of the protocol amendment version 3, recruitment into the lomvastomig arm has been stopped. The decision to stop recruitment for lomvastomig was based on strategic considerations and not based on emerging safety and/or efficacy data. The benefit/risk assessment for lomvastomig remains unchanged. The study was planned to enroll participants randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive lomvastomig, tobemstomig, or nivolumab. With version 3 of the protocol, recruitment into the lomvastomig arm has stopped, and moving forward, participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either tobemstomig or nivolumab.
Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is recommended as standard therapy for resectable esophageal cancer. The recurrence rate after surgery following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is about 35%. Whether achieving pathological complete response after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is significantly associated with recurrence after surgery. It is reported that immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy improved survival compared with chemotherapy alone in first line therapy of advanced esophageal cancer. We hypothesize that the addition of immunotherapy to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is helpful to improving pathologic complete response and survival.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and 2-year local control rate for postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to refine and pilot test educational material developed to educate and support patients receiving immunotherapy for advanced cancer. The intervention is an educational video and question prompt list (QPL) to promote communication between patients, caregivers, and the oncology team about the risks and benefits of immunotherapy.
This clinical trial seeks to learn if a yoga program can improve physical performance, quality of life and symptom burden in cancer patients who are undergoing radiation therapy, and their partners. Taking part in yoga or stretching sessions may lower distress, improve quality of life, and/or may improve sleep and fatigue for cancer patients and their caregivers.
This study wants to focus on Carcinoma detection rates with blue laser imaging (BLI) for participants with head-neck cancer who need a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). BLI is a new imaging technique that can easily be used within a standard gastroscopy.
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that stroma-targeting by tocilizumab in patients with adenocarcinoma of the esophagus or gastroesophageal junction with highly activated stroma increases efficacy of chemoradiotherapy measured by pathological response according to the Mandard criteria. Patients will be grouped for ADAM12, a non-invasive blood-borne marker of stromal activation.
