Filter by:To date, there is controversy as to whether type II diabetes mellitus is associated with adverse short- and long-term outcomes in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma undergoing minimally invasive esophagectomy. At the same time, to the best of our knowledge, the impact of metformin use and glycemic control on short- and long-term outcomes in this patient population is also controversial. Therefore, this study aims to test the hypothesis that diabetes mellitus is associated with reduced survival in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma undergoing minimally invasive esophagectomy and that treatment with metformin and/or good glycemic control (HbA1c<7.0%) is associated with improved survival.
It has been reported that patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who achieved pathological complete response (PCR) to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy have better survival than those with non-PCR. Howeve, there is still recurrent diseases developed in PCR patients after esophagectomy. Herein, we aimed to investgate the risk factors of recurrence in PCR patients.
The purpose of this study is to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, Immunogenicity and Antitumor Activity of AZD8701 Alone and in Combination with Durvalumab (MEDI4736) in Adult Subjects with Select Advanced 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 is one randomized, double-blind, multi-center, placebo-controlled phase III study. The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of JS001 combined with paclitaxel and cisplatin(TP regimen )with placebo combined with TP regimen in patients with advanced or metastatic Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma(ESCC )who have not received systemic chemotherapy previously. About 500 patients with advanced or metastatic ESCC who have not received chemotherapy previously will be enrolled in this study and 1:1 randomized into JS001 combined with TP group and placebo combined with TP group (i.e., 250 patients each in group A and B) The sample size was calculated based on the dual-endpoint of primary effectiveness endpoint (progression-free survival, PFS, as evaluated by BIRC per RECIST v1.1 criteria) and overall survival (OS). The hierarchical testing will be used for PFS and OS analysis at the overall significance level of two-sided 0.05, that is, all α levels (two-sided 0.05) will be firstly used for the hypothesis test of PFS; if the null hypothesis of PFS is rejected, the hypothesis test of OS will be performed at the two-sided significance level of 0.05. For PFS, it will be expected to observe 283 PFS events in 500 patients enrolled about 24 months after randomization of the first subject, thereby there is 85% statistical power to detect an improved PFS for JS001 in combination with TP versus placebo in combination with TP in subject with advanced or metastatic ESCC who had not previously received chemotherapy at the two-sided significance level of 0.05 (corresponding hazard ratio (HR) =0.7); for OS, it will be expected to observe 366 OS events in 500 patients enrolled about 39 months after randomization of the first subject, thereby there is 85% statistical power to detect an improved OS for JS001 in combination with TP versus placebo in combination with TP in subject with advanced or metastatic ESCC who had not previously received chemotherapy at the two-sided significance level of 0.05 (corresponding hazard ratio (HR) =0.73). It is planned to performed an interim analysis of OS at the time of PFS analysis (about 24 months after randomization of the first subject).
This is prospective research study which will include patients with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, esophagus and anal canal starting on first-line platinum based chemotherapy or any line of immunotherapy treatment.This study aims to characterize the dynamic changes in genomic, epigenetic, immune profiling and imaging data during treatment with systemic therapy. Patients will have archived tumor samples requested as well as blood samples collected at up to four time points to analyze these changes. Imaging data will be derived from patients' routine CT scans before and after treatment.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of cabozantinib, at different doses, in combination with cetuximab to find out what effects, if any, this combined treatment has on people with HNSCC.
This phase II trial studies how well intensity-modulated radiotherapy and nivolumab work together in treating patients with head and neck squamous cell cancer that has come back. Intensity-modulation radiation therapy uses varying intensities of radiation beams to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors, thereby reducing the damage to nearby healthy tissue. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving intensity-modulated radiation therapy and nivolumab may work better at treating head and neck squamous cell cancer.
The purpose of this study is to find out if the combination of two established anti-cancer therapies are beneficial in participants with Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC). Specifically, investigators want to determine if the combination of Cetuximab and nivolumab can help people with advanced cases of HNSCC. Both cetuximab and nivolumab have been used separately to treat HNSCC and are Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved in this type of cancer.
This clinical trial will evaluate the safety and feasibility of a humanized OX40 agonist, MEDI0562, in the pre-operative setting for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma or melanoma.
