Filter by:This study aims to study the kinetics of ctDNA levels after the first dose of immune checkpoint inhibitor in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer. This is an important study to understand the optimal timing for ctDNA quantitation for future studies in immunotherapy, though further validation would be needed in other tumor types. It may help standardize the most relevant blood collection time points so that patients will not be subjected to multiple blood draws at random time points in future liquid biopsy trials.
Background: Combination immunotherapy techniques are being explored to improve responses and enhance benefits in people with cancer. Researchers want to see if this type of treatment can help people with advanced solid tumors. Objective: To find a safe dose of SX-682 in combined treatment with Bintrafusp alfa and BN-CV301 vaccines and to see if this treatment will cause tumors to shrink. Eligibility: Adults age 18 and older with metastatic cancer may be eligible for the first part of the trial. Adults age 18 and older with metastatic triple negative breast cancer or p16 negative head and neck squamous cell cancer, and who are not candidates for curative surgery may be eligible for the second part of the trial. Design: Participants will be screened under a separate protocol. Participants may have tumor biopsies. They will have physical exams. Their symptoms and medicines will be reviewed. They will have blood tests. They will have electrocardiograms to evaluate their heart. Participants will have imaging scans of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. They may have a procedure where a small tube with a tiny video camera is put into the nose to look at the throat if they have head and neck cancers. Participants will get bintrafusp alfa through an intravenous catheter. For this, a small tube is put into an arm vein. They will get BN-CV301 vaccines as injections in the arm or thigh. They will take SX-682 by mouth twice a day. They will take the study drugs up to 2 years. They will keep a medicine diary. Participants will have study visits every 2 weeks. They will have 1 or 2 follow-up visits within 30 days after they stop treatment. Then they will be monitored by phone or email for 2 years.
The investigators propose a phase II clinical trial with the objective to investigate the potential clinical interest to associate regorafenib with a metronomic chemotherapy combining capecitabine, cyclophosphamide and low-dose aspirin, for the treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. The main objective of the study will be to achieve 15% of objective response rate in patients treated with multimodal metronomic chemotherapy and regorafenib.
This would be a phase II prospective single arm mono-institutional study conducted in Queen Mary Hospital (Hong Kong) assessing the efficacy and safety of bintrafusp alfa in previously treated patients with recurrent and metastatic (R/M) non-keratinizing nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).
This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of VE800 in combination with nivolumab in patients with selected types of advanced or metastatic cancer
This study will be conducted in adult subjects diagnosed with any form of an advanced or metastatic solid tumors including urothelial carcinoma for which standard therapy is no longer effective or is intolerable. This is a phase 1, multi-center, open label study designed to assess safety and tolerability of IK-175 as a single agent and in combination with nivolumab, to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). Disease response, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and response biomarkers will also be assessed.
Balancing Method for Pain Related to Advanced Cancer seeks to confirm the benefit of acupuncture for patients with pain related to advanced cancer.
Every day many patients affected by chronic life-limiting illnesses are admitted into Internal Medicine wards, coming from the Emergency Department. Many studies suggest that providing palliative care to these patients may improve their end-of-life care while reducing costs by minimizing futile treatments and unwanted intensive care unit admissions. Consequently, there is a strong need for acute care hospitals to more vigorously identify patients entering the final phase of their lives as well as their specific care needs. In a previous study the investigators screened for need of palliative care patients affected by progressive chronic diseases by means of a tool, based on the Italian Society of Anesthesia, Analgesia, Resuscitation, and Intensive Care - SIAARTI - position paper reporting criteria for patients with end-stage chronic organ failures, and on the specific clinical indicators elaborated by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) for patients with locally advanced/metastatic cancer. In a further pilot study, the investigators compared the outcomes of PC patients depending on whether the palliative care team evaluated such patients only if requested by the physician staff or routinely, irrespectively of a specific request, finding a significant increase of discharges after the activation of an appropriate PC service or scheduled PC ambulatory visit. In the present study the investigators enroll chronically ill patients admitted to an Internal Medicine Unit from the Emergency Department, to be screened for palliative care need, using the previously cited SIAARTI/NCCN screening tool (Extended Screening Tool - EST), or using a Simplified Screening Tool (SST), derived from the first instrument, which preliminary showed a superimposable efficacy. This latter tool has advantages related to much more shortness and therefore simplicity in the administration to a seriously ill patient and is much less time consuming, allowing the physician to use it routinely. The aim of the study is to verify the accuracy of the SST in identifying chronically ill patients in need of a PC approach, in comparison to the SIAARTI/NCCN tool (EST). If the SST would show good accuracy, an easily manageable tool for the assessment of PC needs in chronically ill patients would be available for the daily routine.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of ASP9801 and to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). The study will also evaluate antitumor activity, objective response rate, pharmacokinetics and virus shedding of ASP9801 as a single agent, as well as in combination with pembrolizumab, an anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) checkpoint inhibitor.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of SNK01 (autologous natural killer cell), as a single agent and in combination with avelumab or pembrolizumab, for the treatment of subjects with advanced and/or metastatic refractory cancer that has failed three or more prior lines of conventional standard of care therapy.
