View clinical trials related to Microsatellite Instability.
Filter by: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.
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.
In this open-label phase II study, patients will be scheduled for neoadjuvant treatment with PD-1 inhibitors (Camrelizumab) plus VEGF inhibitor (Apatinib) for dMMR/MSI-H colorectal cancer staged as locally advanced (cT3-4N+/-M0 for rectal cancer, cT4 or cT3 with extramural extension ≥5mm for colon cancer). Radiological evaluation will be preformed after 4 cycles of treatment. Patients (either with colon or rectal cancer) who achieve complete clinical response will be offered the choice of Watch & Wait.
The main purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of IBI310 in combination with sintilimab in patients with Microsatellite Instability High (MSI-H) or Mismatch Repair Deficient (dMMR) locally advance or metastatic colorectal cancer.
A multicenter open-label phase 1/1b study to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of SO-C101 as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with selected advanced/metastatic solid tumors
This study evaluates whether it is safe to Focused Ultrasound Ablation (FUSA) treatments with and without PD-1 blockade and with and without intratumoral poly-ICLC. A device called the Echopulse will be used for the FUSA therapy. Patients will be assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts depending on their disease and treatment status. In Cohort 1, patients will receive FUSA therapy while receiving PD-1 blockade therapy as part of standard clinical care treatment. In Cohort 2, patients who discontinue or are ineligible for PD-1 blockade therapy will undergo FUSA without concurrent systemic therapy, with the goal of utilizing the FUSA to boost the innate immune response. The optional secondary regimen will combine FUSA (+/- PD-1 blockade) with intratumoral poly-ICLC.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of DPX-Survivac and low dose cyclophosphamide with pembrolizumab in subjects with selected advanced and recurrent solid tumours.
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 phase Ib/II trial studies how well anti-PD-L1/TGFbetaRII fusion protein M7824 (M7824) works in treating patients with colorectal cancer (or with other solid tumors with microsatellite instability) that has spread to other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as M7824, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
This is a Phase IIb, multicohort, open-label multicenter study of combination immunotherapies in patients who have previously received treatment with PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors. All patients in Cohorts 1-4 will receive the combination treatment of PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor plus N-803 for up to 17 cycles. Each cycle is six weeks in duration. Some patients who experience disease progression while on study in Cohorts 1-4 may roll over into Cohort 5 and receive combination therapy with a PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor, N-803, and PD-L1 t-haNK cellular therapy for up to an additional 17 cycles. Each cycle is six weeks in duration. All patients will receive N-803 once every 3 weeks. Patients will also receive the same checkpoint inhibitor that they received during their previous therapy. Radiologic evaluation will occur at the end of each treatment cycle. Treatment will continue for up to 2 years, or until the patient experiences confirmed progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity, withdraws consent, or if the Investigator feels it is no longer in the patient's best interest to continue treatment. Patients will be followed for disease progression, post-therapies, and survival through 24 months past administration of the first dose of study drug.
