View clinical trials related to Hypopharyngeal Neoplasms.
Filter by:In the global landscape of cancer, head and neck malignancies are highly prevalent, with 878,000 new cases and 444,000 deaths recorded in 2020. Notably, laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers contribute to around 30% of these instances. More than 50% of patients are diagnosed with locally advanced disease, necessitating intensive treatments that significantly impact their quality of life. Despite these efforts, the prognosis for laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers remains grim, with a 5-year survival rate of 30% to 50%. Past approaches focused on preserving laryngeal function and patient well-being, including minimally invasive surgery, advanced radiotherapy, and induction chemotherapy. Our prior research highlighted the effectiveness of combining toripalimab-based induction therapy and chemotherapy, followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy or surgery. Positive short-term outcomes and manageable side effects were observed, with encouraging larynx preservation rates after one year. Against this backdrop, the current study aims to explore neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy for patients with locally advanced laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer. It seeks to compare the therapeutic efficacy and quality of life impacts of concurrent radiochemotherapy and organ-preserving surgery. The ultimate goal is to identify optimal strategies for future interventions.
The investigators will obtain three-monthly voice recordings and fiberendoscopic examinations of the larynx/hypopharynx for a minimal period of 6 months from all laryngeal/hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC/HPSCC) patients, who have successfully completed curative primary treatment, except those who underwent total laryngectomy. Furthermore, the investigators will ask the patients to fill out the voice handicap index-30 questionnaire (VHI-30) during each study visit. The VHI-30 allows to make a subjective assessment of the patients' own vocal problem. The primary objective is to assess the feasibility and compliance of longterm regular voice monitoring in LSCC and HPSCC follow-up.
The goal of this type of study: single center exploratory clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Toripalimab combined with AP-induced chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy and Toripalimab-maintenance therapy sequentially in patients with non-metastatic IVB hypopharyngeal cancer. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • [main objectives: to evaluate the objective remission rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS) and safety of PD-1 inhibitor Toripalimab combined with induction chemotherapy (cisplatin / nedaplatin + albumin paclitaxel) in patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma according to RECISTv1.1.] • [Secondary objectives: 1-year, 2-year, 3-year progression-free survival rate (PFS); 1-year, 2-year, 3-year overall survival rate (OS); overall survival time (OS); tumor regression time; quality of life was evaluated by ECOG physical status and EQ-5D-5L assessment. ] [Exploratory Objective: to explore the relationship between the biomarkers in tumor tissue and / or blood, including PD-L1 (CPS/TPS), HPV (P16), PD-1, TMB, EGFR, CD3, CD4, CD8, TP53, MSI-H and the efficacy of immunotherapy, and the relationship between MDM2/MDM4, EGFR, chromosome 11q13 interval (CCND1/FGF19/FGF3/FGF4) and immune hyperprogression] Participants will [be treated with Toripalimab injection (240mg/, once every 3 weeks) combined with cisplatin / nedaplatin (40mg) and albumin paclitaxel (230mg/m2, once every 3 weeks). The efficacy was evaluated within 1 week after induction therapy. In the phase of simultaneous radiotherapy, albumin paclitaxel (230mg/m2, once every 3 weeks, D1/D21/D43) was used. One month after the end of synchronous radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the efficacy was evaluated. After evaluation, all patients entered the next stage of immune maintenance therapy. During the maintenance phase, Toripalimabv injection (240mg/, once every 3 weeks) was given for 6 months or until the disease progressed, the toxicity was intolerable, the subjects asked to withdraw voluntarily, and the researchers judged that the subjects needed to withdraw from the study. The patients were treated with spiral tomographic radiotherapy (TOMO) or intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT).. These patients were given Nimotuzumab injection at the same time during simultaneous radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
The aim of this study is to define whether combination of induction chemotherapy and PD-1 inhibitor (Toripalimab) followed by radiotherapy improve progression-free survival, for patients with unresectable laryngeal/hypopharyngeal carcinoma.
The aim of this prospective non-interventional multi-center trial is to study the prognostic value of intratumoral and systemic immune biomarkers in newly diagnosed non-metastatic head and neck cancer. Furthermore, the local immunological processes in the tumor will be correlated with the systemic immune status determined in the peripheral blood to identify prognostic immune signatures. In addition, tumor organoids will be generated ex vivo for functional biological analyses. The main objective is to create a prognostic score determined by clusters based on tumor immunologic criteria.
The focus of the study is to verify the role of enhanced contact endoscopy in early identification of high-risk vascular patterns of precancerous and malignant mucosal changes in ear-nose-throat (ENT) patients, in comparison with other standard imaging techniques.
The study is a single center phase II trial. The purpose is to investigate both the efficacy and safety of chemotherapy combined with anti-PD-1 antibody Followed by chemoradiotherapy in locoregionally advanced hypopharyngeal cancer.
Hypopharyngeal cancer is an important part of head and neck cancer, with more than 80,000 new cases in 2018. And it is a highly aggressive cancer often diagnosed at an advanced stage. which expresses poor survival, the 5-year overall survival (OS) is about only 30%-35%. Given the complexity of these tumors, their surrounding structures, the frequent comorbidities, and the improvement of patients' requirements for quality of life, a multidisciplinary treatment approach should be applied to achieve the best oncological outcomes and to improve functional results. This benefi t of induction chemotherapy has been recorded in patients with both resectable and unresectable disease. It has also been observed in patients with laryngeal cancer treated for organ preservation. However, whether the addition of induction chemotherapy to chemoradiotherapy improves efficacy compared with chemoradiotherapy alone is unclear in hypopharyngeal cancer.We tried to observe the clinical treatment efficiency, toxic and side effects, progression-free survival time, overall survival time and quality of life of anlotinib in the treatment of patients with refractory head and neck carcinoma. Provide patients with a more optimal treatment plan and improve survival.
To develope stratification treatment for the patients who have locally advanced hypopharyngeal carcinoma. Experimental group patients were treated individually according to the response status after induction chemotherapy, receiving chemoradiotherapy or surgery. Thus to achieve a better survival rate and a higher larynx-preservation rate as well as a lower treatment related toxicity rate compared with standard treatment.
The iCaRe2 is a multi-institutional resource created and maintained by the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center to collect and manage standardized, multi-dimensional, longitudinal data and biospecimens on consented adult cancer patients, high-risk individuals, and normal controls. The distinct characteristic of the iCaRe2 is its geographical coverage, with a significant percentage of small and rural hospitals and cancer centers. The iCaRe2 advances comprehensive studies of risk factors of cancer development and progression and enables the design of novel strategies for prevention, screening, early detection and personalized treatment of cancer. Centers with expertise in cancer epidemiology, genetics, biology, early detection, and patient care can collaborate by using the iCaRe2 as a platform for cohort and population studies.
