Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by surgery has become the standard treatment option for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC). However, only 20% to 40% of patients can achieve pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant CRT with favorable prognosis and about 10% of patients have disease progression after chemoradiotherapy. How to improve the the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy is an important clinical problem to be solved. Immunotherapy targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoints has demonstrated promising activity in advanced EC especially in ESCC. In Keynote181 study, for patients with metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, regardless of PD-L1 expression, pembrolizumab significantly improved overall survival compared with chemotherapy. However, the efficacy and safety of immunotherapy therapy in surgery-based multidisciplinary treatment of local advanced esophageal cancer still need a lot of clinical studies to further confirm. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy combined with perioperative toripalimab in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer.
This phase I trial studies the side effects of OBP-301 when given together with carboplatin, paclitaxel, and radiation therapy in treating patients with esophageal or gastroesophageal cancer that invades local or regional structures. OBP-301 is a virus that has been designed to infect and destroy tumor cells (although there is a small risk that it can also infect normal cells). Chemotherapy drugs, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving OBP-301 with chemotherapy and radiation therapy may work better than standard chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with esophageal or gastroesophageal cancer.
This trial will look at a drug called sigvotatug vedotin (SGN-B6A) alone and with pembrolizumab, with or without chemotherapy, to find out whether it is safe for people who have solid tumors. It will study sigvotatug vedotin to find out what its side effects are. A side effect is anything the drug does besides treating cancer. It will also study whether sigvotatug vedotin works to treat solid tumors. The study will have four parts. - Part A of the study will find out how much sigvotatug vedotin should be given to participants. - Part B will use the dose found in Part A to find out how safe sigvotatug vedotin is and if it works to treat solid tumors. - Part C of the study will find out how safe sigvotatug vedotin is in combination with these other drugs. - Part D will include people who have not received treatment. This part of the study will find out how safe sigvotatug vedotin is in combination with these other drugs and if these combinations work to treat solid tumors. - In Parts C and D, participants will receive sigvotatug vedotin with either: - Pembrolizumab or, - Pembrolizumab and carboplatin, or - Pembrolizumab and cisplatin.
This is a window of opportunity study of Anti-tumor B (ATB). Anti-tumor B is a botanical agent composed of six Chinese herbs: Sophora tonkinensis, Polygonum bistorta, Prunella vulgaris, Sonchus brachyotus, Dictamnus dasycarpus, and Dioscorea bulbifera.
This is an open-label, historically controlled pilot study investigating the immune effect of Laser Interstitial ThermotHerapy (LITT)+ pembrolizumab in adult patients with a primary cancer approved by the FDA for treatment with an immune-checkpoint inhibitor who have recurrent brain metastasis after prior stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).
Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is now the most frequently diagnosed head and neck cancer in Denmark which is mainly due to the increase of Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Patients with HPV-positive OPSCC have a significantly higher survival rate compared to HPV-negative OPSCC. The traditional primary treatment modality in Denmark is Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), and in advanced stages in combination with chemotherapy. Since 2009, Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) has enabled surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery as an alternative to standard radiotherapy treatment which is considered the primary treatment for OPSCC in many countries. There is a lack of randomised trials comparing long-term functional outcomes after TORS or IMRT. Current data are mostly derived from retrospective studies with selection bias. However, several small retrospective studies have shown promising results when comparing the two treatment modalities in favour of TORS with regards to treatment related swallowing function and quality of life (QoL) without compromising survival outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the early and long-term functional outcomes following two treatment arms 1) TORS combined with neck dissection and 2) IMRT±concurrent chemotherapy with a special focus on swallowing-related QoL.
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.
Clinical studies related to immunotherapy of HNSCC have shown that PD1 monoclonal antibody has better clinical benefits than conventional chemotherapy. This phase II clinical study is a single arm, open, single-center study. The aim of this study is to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sintilimab combined with paclitaxel-albumin-binding for injection in patients with advanced recurrent and metastatic HNSCC who fail to receive first-line or more treatment. Participation in this study for treatment may benefit patients with advanced recurrence or metastasis of HNSCC.
Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) can cause vulvar high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL). Sometimes, this can become cancer. Researchers want to see if T cell therapy can treat vulvar HSIL. In this therapy, a person s immune cells are genetically modified so they can attack the HPV. Objective: To test if a personalized immune treatment can cure vulvar HSIL. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with vulvar HSIL that cannot be removed with surgery, or for which surgery has failed Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam HPV testing Venous assessment Chest x-ray Heart and pulmonary tests Participants will have a baseline visit. They may have a vulvar biopsy. Photographs will be taken of their lesions. Participants will have leukapheresis: Blood is removed from a needle in the arm and circulated through a machine that takes out the white blood cells. The other blood cells are returned through a needle in the other arm. The white blood cells will be used to grow treatment cells. Participants will receive the treatment through a tube inserted into an arm, neck, or chest vein. They will recover in the hospital for 1 to 2 days. They will have blood tests and take supportive medications. Participants may have one more treatment. Participants will have 5 follow-up visits in the first 3 months after treatment. They may have more visits if their disease is growing. Visits will include blood tests. They may include vulvar biopsies or leukapheresis. Participants will have an annual physical exam for 5 years after treatment that can be done at home or at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Then they will have an annual phone or email questionnaire for another 10 years....
