Filter by:It was difficult to obtain clinical benefits through traditional chemotherapy and radiotherapy for the patients who have recurrence or metastasis tumor even though they have received first-line chemotherapy or combined radiotherapy before, but failed.The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of apatinib, an anti-angiogenesis drug, in the treatment of patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who had recurrence or metastasis after radical resection
The purpose of this study is to compare progression free survival rates of metastasized colorectal cancer patients refractory or intolerant to systemic therapy with fluoropyrimidine, irinotecan, oxaliplatin, anti-VEGF therapy and anti-EGFR therapy (for tumours with wild-type KRAS)); randomized for treatment with TAS-102 (standard-arm) or High Dose Intermittent Sunitinib (700 mg once every 2 weeks). The investigators hypothesis is that treatment with the experimental arm (sunitinib) will provide an improvement in progression free in this patient group.
This proposed study is unique in that patients will not undergo computed tomography (CT) simulation at any point during their treatment course and will instead have same-session magnetic resonance (MR)-only simulation and treatment planning, on-table, using the adaptive radiotherapy (ART) workflow. In this manner, patients requiring urgent treatment could initiate treatment as early as the day of initial radiation oncology consultation.
This is a Phase I Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of VCN-01 in Combination With Durvalumab (MEDI4736) in Subjects With Recurrent/Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck. VCN-01 is a genetically modified oncolytic adenovirus characterized by the presence of four independent genetic modifications on the backbone of the wild-type HAd5 adenovirus genome, encoding human PH20, that confer tumor selectivity and anti-tumor activity. Durvalumab is a human monoclonal antibody (mAb) of the immunoglobulin G (IgG) 1 kappa subclass that inhibits binding of PD-L1. The proposed mechanism of action (MOA) for durvalumab is interference in the interaction of PD-L1 with PD-1 and CD80 (B7.1). Blockade of PD-L1/PD-1 and PD-L1/CD80 interactions releases the inhibition of immune responses, including those that may result in tumor elimination.
The initial intent of the study was to be a multi-center single-arm open-label Simon's two-stage Phase II clinical trial of first-line mFOLFOX6 + trastuzumab + avelumab in metastatic HER2-amplified gastric and esophageal adenocarcinomas. Accrual will halt after completion of Stage I (enrollment of 18 patients). This decision is not due to safety issues. Subjects currently on treatment will continue until criteria as defined in the protocol is met.
The investigators propose a phase II study to evaluate the efficacy of carboplatin monotherapy in the tumor subgroup of metastatic castration-resistant prostatic carcinomas with somatic abnormality in the Homologous Recombination (HR) pathway. This study may also better characterize the molecular abnormalities of tumors required for the carboplatin response
This multi-center, phase II trial will be conducted in men with castration resistant prostate cancer. The aim of the TRAP trial is to test whether a new precise radiotherapy technique called stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) can slow down the growth of metastatic prostate cancer. If SBRT is effective it will represent a new treatment option in these patients, providing more prolonged control without having to resort to chemotherapy and its potentially unpleasant side effects. In this trial, the investigators will identify men who, despite being on next generation androgen deprivation treatment (Abiraterone or Enzalutamide) have developed one or two new sites of worsening (growing) disease but the rest of their cancer is still responding to hormonal therapy. If it is the case that SBRT can successfully treat the cancer which is resistant to current treatment then the investigators hope they will be able to better control the spread of cancer in these patients for longer. The investigators also hope that they will be able to use the tell-tale products (gene markers) that are released into the bloodstream in these patients, or identify characteristics on novel imaging such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to help identify patients in the future who will benefit the most.
This is a phase 1, Open-label, Multiple-ascending Dose Study to Investigate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Clinical Activity of IMC-001 in Subjects with Metastatic or Locally-advanced Solid Tumors
In initially metastatic rectal carcinoma, a neo-adjuvant multi-drug chemotherapy is usually performed, followed by a pelvic chemoradiation. The surgical indications on both metastases and the pelvic site are then discussed: in the case where a complete (or near-complete) response (CR) of the rectal tumor is observed (10 to 40%), the local surgery may be omitted or poned ("wait-and-see") in a sphincter-sparing strategy, in order to minimize or avoid the surgical morbidity, to focus on metastatic disease by the continuation of chemotherapy, and to preserve a better quality of life. After 8 weeks of induction chemotherapy (mFolfox6 regimen, 4 cycles), the aim of our study is to optimize the chemoradiation step on the distal rectal tumor, thanks to Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) with simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) (Phase-1 part of the study), concomitantly with oral capecitabine. According to a Fibonacci dose-escalation scheme, 3 radiation dose-levels are defined, up to the definition of the maximal tolerated dose (MTD), requiring the inclusion of a maximum of 20 patients. Further patients will be included at the recommended dose for phase-2 (RDP2) in a two-step phase-2 study, considering simultaneously as principal objective at 12 months, both the efficacy (local CR rate in the range of 10 to 25%) and the tolerance (pelvic radiation disease: grade 3-4 toxicities in the range of 30 to 10%). Overall 65 patients will be included in the phase-2 study at the RDP2 dose.
The clinical efficacy of fulvestrant and/or palbociclib in the population of patients with metastatic lesions harboring ESR1 mutations was reported. In the PALOMA 3 study, the combination of Fulvestrant+ Palbociclib seems to be active in patients whose tumour harbours ESR1 mutations. This study will confirm these data on this population and will allow us to identify if other gene alterations or a genomic signature can correlate with fulvestrant +palbociclib resistance.
