Filter by:This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of nanatinostat in combination with valganciclovir in patients with relapsed/refractory EBV-positive solid tumors and in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with recurrent/metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma
This research study involves the study drug lurbinectedin in combination with doxorubicin. This research has two parts. The first part is being done to determine the tolerability of lurbinectedin with doxorubicin in people with soft tissue sarcoma. The second part is a randomized study to determine which is more effective at treating leiomyosarcoma, lurbinectedin with doxorubicin or lurbinectedin alone.
This is an open-label, multicenter, first-in-human dose-escalation and expansion Phase 1-2 study designed to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of OR2805 administered as a monotherapy and in combination with anti-cancer agents in subjects with advanced solid tumors.
Dinutuximab beta was designed to bind to neuroblastoma cells and other cancer cells that express the GD2 antigen, such as STS/LMS cells, and it is believed that this binding "labels" the cells an makes them a better target. In addition, γδ T cells can safely be expanded in-vivo using intravenous zoledronic acid and subcutaneous interleukin-2 (IL-2) in patients with different types of solid tumors [Dieli et al., 2007; Pressey et al., 2016]. It is supposed that combination treatment using dinutuximab beta, zoledronic acid and IL-2 is more effective than their use in isolation. The already-established safety profiles of these agents make testing of the combination in GD2 positive cancers such as GD2 expressing LMS both rational and feasible [Fisher et al., 2015].
The development of precise and non-invasive diagnostic methods is a priority in areas such as gynaecology and oncology, and above all in improving the health of those patients with a surgical indication for hysterectomy, laparoscopic or laparotomic myomectomy for diagnosis of uterine tumours. Indeed, in the absence of an accurate and objective preoperative diagnostic option, all patients with suspected benign tumours should be considered at risk for occult leiomyosarcoma. Recently, the concept of "liquid biopsy" has emerged as a minimally invasive alternative to surgical biopsies for solid tumours with highly recurrent mutations, avoiding the sampling of tumour tissue before and after treatment. Generally, the liquid biopsy is obtained by taking a sample of blood or other body fluids, to provide tumour-specific information. Based on these premises, a prospective, observational and multicentre case-control study is proposed, the objective of which is to evaluate the diagnostic precision (sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value and positive predictive value) in the detection of molecular differences by liquid biopsy in patients with suspected myometrial tumour (leiomyoma / leiomyosarcoma). Depending on the results of these analysis, the application of this technology could allow the differential diagnosis of the tumour in a non-invasive and objective way, as well as the development of biomarkers and effective targeted therapies in the treatment of leiomyosarcomas. Consequently, we would also be increasing our knowledge of tumour biology and associated pathologies in a clinical and therapeutic context.
- Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is one of the more common soft tissue sarcomas (STS). - Patients presenting with large, high-grade, localized LMS are at significant risk of developing metastasis following curative surgery. - Clinical trials of neoadjuvant or adjuvant anthracycline and ifosfamide have suggested that patients with localized STS who are at high-risk of metastasis may benefit from chemotherapy, but the magnitude of benefit in unselected patient population is relatively small. - Currently, patient age, and tumor size and grade are used to assess risk of metastases and survival - Studies evaluating tumor response by imaging and histopathology have not established correlation between tumor characteristics as biomarkers for risk of metastasis or sarcoma recurrence. - Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is present in blood of patients with advanced/metastatic LMS and may serve as biomarker of tumor response to chemotherapy. Blood samples will be collected prior to, during and after chemotherapy and analyzed for ctDNA and for mutations in genes that are associated with increased risk of developing sarcoma. Tumor tissue will be collected and analyzed for changes in genes. Digital images of the sarcoma from CT or MRI scans obtained during treatment will be obtained for advanced radiomic analysis. Patients will be followed for 2 years after study entry for signs of sarcoma recurrence. - A biomarker of tumor response and patient survival benefit from chemotherapy early in the course of chemotherapy would be of significant impact in treatment planning.
Multicenter, prospective, open-labeled, 2-arm, non-comparative randomized phase II trial to assess the antitumor activity of berzosertib in association with gemcitabine
The purpose of this study is to find out if giving a dose of heated chemotherapy in the abdomen immediately after surgery that is done to remove uterine leiomyosarcoma type of cancer will help lower the risk of the cancer coming back in the future.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of tabelecleucel in participants with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) associated diseases.
This is an open label phase 2 study using metronomic doses of trabectedin, gemcitabine and dacarbazine given intravenously.
