Filter by:The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of HRO761 and identify the recommended dose(s), i.e., the optimal safe and active dose of HRO761 alone or in combination with tislelizumab or irinotecan that can be given to patients who have cancers with specific molecular alterations called MSIhi (Microsatellite Instability-high) or dMMR (Mismatch Repair Deficient) that might work best to treat these specific cancer types and to understand how well HRO761 is able to treat those cancers.
This is an open-label, non-randomized, Phase 1b/2 study to determine the safety and tolerability of NC410 when combined with a standard dose of pembrolizumab. This study will also assess the clinical benefit of combination therapy in participants with advanced unresectable and/or metastatic ICI refractory solid tumors OR ICI naïve MSS/MSI-low solid tumors
The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and tolerability of KFA115 and KFA115 in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with select advanced cancers, and to identify the maximum tolerated dose and/or recommended dose.
This is a Phase Ib/II study to identify the recommended dose of paclitaxel and nivolumab for further study, and to assess the safety and clinical efficacy of this combined treatment in EBV-related, MSI-high, or PD-L1 positive advanced gastric cancer after first line treatment.
The three main pathways of colorectal carcinogenesis are chromosomal instability, microsatellite instability (MSI) (15% of colorectal cancers =CRCs) and CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP). MSI CRCs are associated with a better prognosis after curative surgery than CRCs without microsatellite instability (MSS). In contrast, MSI CRCs do not appear to benefit from adjuvant 5-FU chemotherapy, unlike patients with MSS CRCs. Nevertheless, the benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy with FOLFOX seems to be retained. The identification of prognostic markers in this subgroup of patients is therefore essential to decide on adjuvant chemotherapy, the efficacy of which is currently debated in MSI CRC. To date, there are very few data concerning metastatic MSI CRC. Metastatic forms are rare (about 5% of metastatic CRCs), but are thought to be associated with chemoresistance and poor prognosis. Nevertheless, data are very sparse and there are no data regarding the use of modern chemotherapies and targeted therapies in metastatic MSI CRC. Thus, it is important to characterize the chemosensitivity of metastatic forms. Clinical predictors of recurrence after curative CRC surgery are known but have only been studied in MSI CRC retrospectively. Similarly, many molecular and immunohistochemical factors, prognostic or predictive of response to adjuvant chemotherapy, have been recently identified in CRC (KRAS, BRAF, TP53, PI3KCA mutations, CIMP phenotype, SMAD4, immune response...). Most of these markers have been studied in all CRCs, but not specifically in the MSI CRC subgroup. All these prognostic and/or predictive biomarkers need to be better characterized in a large cohort of MSI CRCs.
KEYNOTE-177 is currently the only randomized controlled phase III clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab versus standard chemotherapy combined with targeted first-line therapy for dMMR/MSI-H metastatic colorectal cancer. The study was conducted at 192 centers in 23 countries and enrolled a total of 307 subjects. The results of the study showed that the median PFS of pembrolizumab was 16.5 months, which was double the 8.2 months in the chemotherapy group (HR 0.60; 95% CI: 0.45-0.80; P = 0.0002). In addition, the ORR was 45.1% in the pembrolizumab group and 33.1% in the chemotherapy group, and a higher percentage of patients achieving a complete remission (CR) with pembrolizumab than in the chemotherapy group (13.1% vs. 3.9%). The U.S. FDA approved pembrolizumab in June 2020 for the first-line treatment of MSI-H/dMMR metastatic colorectal cancer. The results of the KEYNOTE-177 study showed that 29% of patients with dMMR/MSI-H metastatic colorectal cancer experienced direct disease progression (PD) after first-line pembrolizumab monotherapy. This may suggest that some dMMR/MSI-H patients have primary resistance to anti-PD-1 monotherapy. In the first-line treatment cohort of the CheckMate 142 study using nivolumab combined with ipilimumab, the proportion of patients with direct PD was 13%, suggesting that the combination of PD-1 inhibitors and anti-CTLA-4 mAb may have help overcome this primary resistance. In addition, in the second-line and above cohort of the CheckMate142 study, 12% of patients receiving nivolumab in combination with ipilimumab experienced PD directly, compared with 26% of patients receiving nivolumab alone. A study published on 《The Lancet Oncolog》 on the efficacy and safety of ipilimumab monotherapy and ipilimumab combined with anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody in patients with anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody-resistant melanoma Retrospective study. The study included 355 patients with unresectable metastatic stage III or IV melanoma who received ipilimumab monotherapy after failure of anti-PD-(L)1 monoclonal antibody (n=162), or Ipilimumab combined with anti-PD-1 therapy (n=193). The ORR was 31% in the combination arm, significantly higher than the 13% in the ipilimumab monotherapy arm. In addition, the median OS and PFS of the combination therapy group were 20.4 months and 3.0 months, respectively, which were also significantly higher than those of the single-agent group of 8.8 months and 2.6 months. The aim of this study was to evaluate the objective response rate (ORR) of Cadonilimab, a bispecific anti-PD-1/CTLA-4 antibody, for PD-1/PD-L1 blockade-refractory, microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR), advanced colorectal cancer.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignant tumours of human beings. Mismatch Repair-deficient (dMMR)/ Microsatellite Instability-high (MSI-H) CRC is a specific subtype of CRC, which accounts for approximately 15% of all CRC patients, and can not benefit from 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) adjuvant chemotherapy. Once patients have distant metastases, they are not sensitive to traditional palliative chemotherapy, and thus lead to much worse prognosis than that of mismatch repair-proficient (pMMR)/ microsatellite stability (MSS). A phase II clinical study of anti-PD-1 immunotherapy based on mismatch repair (MMR) status published in "N Engl J Med" showed that the objective response rate (ORR) of advanced colorectal cancer patients with dMMR received anti-PD-1 is 40%, and a longer response time can be obtained compared to conventional chemotherapy. Another study (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03926338) which investigating the effect of neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade with toripalimab, with or without celecoxib, on mismatch repair-deficient or microsatellite instability-high, locally advanced, colorectal cancer. The result revealed that all 34 patients had an R0 resection. 15 of 17 patients (88%) in the toripalimab plus celecoxib group and 11 of 17 patients (65%) in the toripalimab monotherapy group had a pathological complete response. In theory, anti-PD-L1 drugs should have fewer immune side-effects than anti-PD-1 drugs. However, there are no reports of anti-PD-L1 neoadjuvant therapy for the dMMR/MSI-H colorectal cancer. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody (Envafolimab) as neoadjuvant immuntherapy for resectable local advanced colorectal cancer patient with the dMMR/MSI-H.
Given that there is a significant prevalence of Lynch syndrome among patients with endometrial cancer (about 5% of patients with endometrial cancer), and given there is a known risk of endometrial cancer among patients with endometrial hyperplasia (40% risk of pre-existing occult cancer with endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia), it is hypothesized that a diagnosis of endometrial hyperplasia may herald on-going risk of harboring a Lynch Syndrome gene mutation. The purpose of this study is to examine endometrial hyperplasia specimens and compare the frequency of Lynch Syndrome gene mutations between endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer subjects. This will provide a rationale and opportunity for earlier screening, and reduce colon cancer morbidity and mortality secondary to the Lynch syndrome gene.
At present, there are no relevant studies or reports on the effect of neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy combined with immunotherapy for MSS ultra-low rectal cancer. Studied in this paper combin neoadjuvant chemoradiation with immune therapy, carry out "Multicenter prospective randomized clinical trial of neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy combined with immunotherapy for MSS ultra-low rectal cancer" in order to provide a high-level evidence-based medical evidence for ultra-low rectal cancer treatment and improve ultra-low rectal cancer diagnosis and treatment effect.
In this study, we aimed to identify the different histopathological features of tumors with microsatellite instability (MSI) compared to microsatellite stable (MSS) in patients who underwent surgery for colorectal cancer. We also planned to determine how MSI affects prognostic parameters.
