Filter by:This study investigates the safety/toxicity and potential anti-tumor activity of sequential administration of nivolumab and escalating doses of the mTOR inhibitor ABI-009 in advanced Ewing's sarcoma, PEComa, epithelioid sarcoma, desmoid tumor, chordoma, non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, urethelial carcinoma, melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck, hepatocellular carcinoma, classical Hodgkin's lymphoma, MSI-H/dMMR metastatic colorectal cancer, and tumors with genetic mutations sensitive to mTOR inhibitors
The main objective of our study was to determine the modifications of blood myostatin and activin A concentrations associated with head and neck cancers. Secondary objectives consisted in studying their influence on the occurrence of cachexia, bringing the proof of a tumoral secretion of these factors, and then determining the effect of tumor removal.
One of the main reasons for treating actinic keratoses (AK) is the wish to lower the risk of progression of AK to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). This risk is in the order of 1 per 1000 AKs per year, which is in itself a small risk, but since patients can have dozens of AKs and the disease is chronic the cumulative risk for a patient can be substantial. In this extension protocol of trials LP0084-1193, -1194, -1195 and -1196, LEO will study the incidence of SCCs and other skin neoplasia in vehicle and ingenol disoxate treated patients over a period of 2 years, so that the total follow-up time for each patient will be 3 years and 2 months.
The objective is to find genes which are responsible for the appearance of skin tumors (sCC, BCC) and it will be the basis for prediction of the disease and response to the treatment
This study evaluates the intratumoral administration of escalating doses of a novel, experimental drug, INT230-6. The study is being conducted in patients with several types of refractory cancers including those at the surface of the skin (breast, squamous cell, head and neck) and tumors within the body such (pancreatic, colon, liver, lung, etc.). Sponsor also plans to test INT230-6 in combination with anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies.
This pilot study will evaluate the effectiveness of using photodynamic therapy for treatment of cutaneous squamous cell in situ (SCCis). Our hypothesis is that PDT will be effective for treating SCCis. This study will also secondarily evaluate the tolerability of using photodynamic therapy for treatment of SCCis. Investigators plan to enroll 40 subjects with biopsy proven SCCis. Exclusion criteria include lesion in high-risk site (head, neck, hands, feet), previous severe adverse reaction to topical 20% aminolevulinic acid (Kerastick), previous severe adverse reaction to blue light (BLU-U), allergy to Tegaderm, primary or secondary immunosuppression, history of > 6 skin cancers in the past year, photosensitizing condition such as lupus, or sensitivity to porphyrins. Age, gender, size, and location of the SCCis will be recorded. All subjects will receive surgical treatment of their SCCis. The control group will undergo a surgical excision of the tumor. After the excision, subjects will be asked to fill out a satisfaction survey. The intervention group will receive PDT plus surgical treatment. Photographs of the lesion will be taken at each study visit. Subjects in the intervention group will then undergo the study procedure of application of topical 20% 5-ALA (Levulan Kerastick; DUSA Pharmaceuticals) to the SCCis. At 3-5 weeks after the initial treatment, the subject will repeat the 3-hour ALA incubation and blue light exposure. At 6 months after the last treatment, subjects in the intervention group will return for clinical follow-up and surgical excision of the lesion. After excision, the specimen will be sent for processing by pathology and subjects will be asked to fill out a satisfaction visual analog scale. All slides will be read by a board-certified dermatopathologist. Side effects will also be monitored using the same graded scale described previously. Mild adverse events that have been associated with PDT, including erythema, skin crusting, superficial blistering, hypopigmentation, and hyperpigmentation. These reactions usually occur during or immediately after the PDT treatment.
A unique approach for cancer treatment employing intratumoral diffusing alpha radiation emitter device.
Patients enrolled for the study, who are eligible for NACT, will undergo a pre-treatment workup comprising of Evaluation Under Anesthesia (EUA) for tumor Mapping and tissue biopsy along with a PET-CT scan. Subsequently, they would undergo 3 cycles of NACT (weekly thrice) with DCF. They would be reassessed with PET-CT and EUA +/- biopsy after the end of the third cycle. Those who are achieving CR would undergo adjuvant CTRT. Subjects who have a PR in the PET-CT scan will be re-classified based on the biopsy report. If they remain in the PR group they will undergo surgery but if the biopsy in is negative for malignancy, they will undergo adjuvant CTRT. Those subjects with SD or PD would undergo surgery. Subsequently, further radiation and/ or chemotherapy will be decided based on the final histopathology (of the surgical specimen) reports. PET-CT and EUA +/- HPE analyses would be repeated on follow-up after 3 months of treatment completion.
The goal of this study is to determine the optical spectroscopy characteristics of tumor in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). HNSCC constitutes over 90% of all head and neck cancers. These spectroscopy measurements will be compared with pathological diagnosis of tissue biopsies from the same site. These readings will be performed in the operating room during routine endoscopy with biopsy and tumor mapping of patients who have a suspected squamous cell carcinoma of the head and/or neck. Furthermore, a built in pressure sensor will be used to compare biopsy sites with their benign counterparts. If successful, the optical measurements could be used to survey for and delineate the extent of malignancies in a noninvasive manner. This would be especially helpful for clinic visits where suspicious lesions are seen and would otherwise require biopsy for diagnosis. Immediate benefits would include patients with unknown primaries in which numerous directed biopsies are obtained from multiple head and neck sites.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the validity and utility of a tele-dermatology system in the midterm periodic screening of non-widespread skin lesions of recent onset or for which a specialized early classification is deemed to change the prognosis - including precancerous skin lesions as well as melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers - compared to control visits at fixed follow-up.
