Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine if dMMR and/or POLE exonuclease domain mutant stage III colon cancer patients gain clinical benefit (i.e. improvement in disease free and overall survival) from PD-L1 inhibitors after standard fluoropyrimidine-based adjuvant chemotherapy. Avelumab binds PD-L1 and blocks the interaction between PD-L1 and PD-1. This removes the suppressive effects of PD-L1 on anti-tumour CD8+ T cells, resulting in the restoration of cytotoxic T cell response. The rationale of giving Avelumab after standard adjuvant chemotherapy to this well-defined, molecularly-selected, group is based on the fact that dMMR and POLE exonuclease domain mutant CRCs have a highly and ultra-mutated genetic profile, respectively, thus leading to a high number of neo-antigens with associated over expression of immune checkpoint related proteins. This profile is expected to be highly responsive to checkpoint inhibition as suggested by data of PD-1 inhibitors in dMMR/MSI-H metastatic CRCs. If this study meets the primary endpoint, using Avelumab in the adjuvant setting following standard chemotherapy would become the standard of care for patients with dMMR and/or POLE exonuclease domain mutant colon cancers. Furthermore, given the availability of molecular markers for patient selection, funders of healthcare would be more likely to fund this treatment. This study also provides a unique opportunity to conduct translational research analyses on pre- and post-treatment tumour tissue samples and blood samples from dMMR or POLE mutant CRC patients treated with the checkpoint inhibitor Avelumab.
RPL-001-16 is a Phase 1/2, open label, dose escalation and expansion clinical study of RP1 alone and in combination with nivolumab in adult subjects with advanced and/or refractory solid tumors, to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), as well as to evaluate preliminary efficacy.
This study aims to analyze the microsatellite instability (MSI) in the circulatory tumor DNA and in the tumor tissue in the patients diagnosed with uterine endometrial cancer. These data will be used for the study of "Cohort Study of Universal Screening for Lynch Syndrome in Chinese Patients of Endometrial Cancer" (NCT03291106, clinicaltrials.gov).
This is a molecular epidemiological investigation aiming to identify microsatellite instability status from circulating tumor DNA in Chinese patients with refractory advanced solid tumors.
This pilot trial studies how well serial liquid biopsies work in detecting microsatellite instability in participants with stage IV colorectal cancer. Serial liquid biopsies may help doctors learn better methods to track cancer in the bloodstream and how to use these to improve cancer treatments.
The 1100 study is an open-label, Phase I, dose escalation and expansion prospective clinical study to assess the safety of intratumoral injection of NBTXR3 activated by radiotherapy in combination with anti-PD-1 therapy.
The method to analyze the microsatellite instability (MSI) status by next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been established to assess the deficiency of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system. The aim of our study is to evaluate the feasibility and reliability of this NGS method by testing the circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in blood sample of advanced colorectal cancer patients. If the result is positive, the MSI status could be easily learned without the acquisition of tissue samples.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of INCAGN02385 in participants with advanced malignancies.
In this study, MMRd metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients who failed standard therapies will undergo treatment with pembrolizumab, while RAS-extended mutated MMR-proficient mCRC patients will be tested for o6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) expression (IHC) and then for MGMT promoter methylation. MGMT IHC-negative, promoter methylation positive patients will be treated with temozolomide (TMZ). Patients progressing under temozolomide will be tested for tumor mutational burden (TMB) and proceed to pembrolizumab if TMB is > 20 mutations/Mb. The primary study hypothesis is that tumors with acquired resistance to temozolomide become hypermutated and are sensitive to pembrolizumab.
This trial studies how well cycling works in preventing colorectal cancer in participants with Lynch syndrome. Exercise such as cycling may reduce colorectal cancer risk in participants with Lynch syndrome.
