Filter by:This study is an open-label, multi-arm, parallel cohort, dose validation and expansion design. The study is modular in design, allowing evaluation of the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics (PK) of NUC-3373 in combination with other agents for the treatment of patients with different tumour types. Each module is designed to evaluate a different NUC-3373 combination and consists of a dose-validation phase (Phase Ib) and a dose-expansion phase (Phase II). Phase Ib of each module will determine the safety and tolerability of the combinations for further clinical evaluation in Phase II. Approximately 6-20 evaluable patients will be enrolled in the Phase Ib stage of each module to determine safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of NUC-3373 in combination with other agents. Each module will then move into Phase II to enable a further assessment of safety and efficacy in approximately 20-40 patients. Module 1 will assess NUC-3373 + leucovorin (LV) in combination with pembrolizumab for the treatment of patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumours who have progressed on ≤2 prior therapies for metastatic disease, that may have included 1 prior immunotherapy-containing regimen (either monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy) or who have not progressed but where addition of NUC-3373 + LV to standard pembrolizumab monotherapy may be appropriate (e.g., patients who could not tolerate post- immuno-oncology (IO) standard of care therapy). Module 2 will assess NUC-3373 + LV in combination with docetaxel for the treatment of patients with advanced/metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or pleural mesothelioma who have progressed on, or were unable to tolerate, 1 or 2 prior lines of cytotoxic chemotherapy-containing regimens for advanced/metastatic disease. The opening of each module will be at the discretion of the Sponsor. Further modules may be added as non-clinical and clinical data become available to support additional NUC-3373 combinations and tumour types.
To provide comprehensive efficacy and safety profiles of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) versus surgery alone in resectable oesophageal carcinoma.
Gastric and oesophageal (OG) cancer associated with poor long term outcome as overall less than 25% of patients survive for more than 5 years due to late recognition of the disease. Growing evidence suggests an important role for bacteria in OG cancer and gastro esophageal reflux disease (GORD) development. About 1 in 10 people suffer from GORD and this one of the most common conditions leading to gastric and oesophageal cancer. In GORD surgical therapy is the most successful preventing cancer but around 85% of patient experience complications afterwards. Acid suppressing medications are reducing the risk of oesophageal cancer but equally increasing the risk of gastric cancer. They also shorten patients' life expectancy and often fail to provide relief. Analysis of stool samples of patients with GORD demonstrated different gut bacterial compositions to normal and rather resembled the one found in cancer. There is a clear need to improve the outcome of OG cancer. This could be achieved by identifying bacteria responsible for cancer development in gastric tissue, gastric content and saliva and potentially eliminate them hence avoid the development of cancer.
This study evaluates the role of socioeconomic and individual factors in the onset of the first symptoms of cancer and the first consultation with a doctor (patient delay) in oeso-gastric cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether APR-246, 5-FU and cisplatin are safe and effective in the treatment of platinum resistant oesophageal cancer.
This is a study to investigate the efficacy and safety of epirubicin, cisplatin and capecitabine (ECX) as neoadjuvant therapy prior to radical chemoradiotherapy using capecitabine and cisplatin as radio-sensitisers in patients with newly diagnosed localized squamous cell carcinoma of the oesophagus.
