Filter by:Atezolizumab in patients with urinary tract squamous cell carcinoma: a single-arm, open-label, multicentre, phase II clinical trial
This is a single arm phase II study that will evaluate the combination of pembrolizumab, docetaxel, and cisplatin or carboplatin (PDC) as single treatment modality in patients with stage II-IVb (T2-4, any N, M0) squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal cavity/paranasal sinuses (PNS SCC).
Squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal is a relatively rare cancer (less than 3% of digestive cancers) but its incidence has been increasing in recent decades, probably because of its association with HPV (human papillomavirus) infection. Its extension is mainly locoregional pelvic by lymphatic route, rarely metastatic. The standard treatment nowadays is radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy for locally advanced tumors (T2 or more corresponding to a size of 2 cm or more, or N+): mitomycin C and 5-FU (or capecitabine). While the 5-year disease control rates are excellent in localized forms, around 80%, for locally advanced tumors, the prognosis is poorer, with only 70% progression-free survival at 3 years in patients treated with radiochemotherapy. In these patients, it seems particularly interesting to understand the mechanisms of tumor resistance to treatments, in order to increase their efficacy and to propose new therapeutic targets. The microenvironment of solid tumors, which has been extensively studied in the last two decades, is now recognized as a major factor in tumor development and invasion. Immune cells, and more particularly macrophages, represent an essential component of the tumor microenvironment, and constitute a link between innate and adaptive responses. The presence of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), and in particular M2 macrophages, with an anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor action (as opposed to M1 macrophages which are on the contrary tumoricidal and pro-inflammatory), has been studied in many cancers, such as head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, cervical squamous cell carcinoma, and non-small cell lung cancer. To investigator's knowledge, it has not been studied in squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal.
To demonstrate that combination of cabozantinib and atezolizumab is safe and efficacious in patients with recurrent/metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
This study examines melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancer in people diagnosed with vitiligo compared to matched controls.
In this single-arm study, pathologically confirmed advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma will be enrolled to investigate the efficacy and safety of Camrelizumab in combination With albumin paclitaxel and cisplatin.
This study investiagates deep-regional or superficial hyperthermia to enhance radiotherapy or chemoradiation in patients that suffer recurrent disease after previous radiotherapy.
The study will determine if calcipotriene and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) creams when combined can treat SCCIS and superficially invasive SCC (but not deeply invasive or high-risk cutaneous SCC). 30 Patients will be divided into a 7 day treatment group (n=10), a 14 day treatment group (n=10), and a placebo group (n=10, divided into 7 and 14 days evenly). Following treatment with the topical chemotherapeutic medication, tumors would be completely excised according to standard of care, and specimens would be sent to pathology to determine if there was residual tumor/margin clearance. The potential benefit of this intervention would be the establishment of a non-invasive treatment that leads to minimal to no scarring or complications (akin to topical 5-FU alone) but would require a much shorter and more tolerable treatment duration (1-2 weeks) compared to available alternatives.
Rationale: Keratinocyte skin cancer is known to influence the HRQoL in a specific way. Derived utility values are required for cost-effectiveness analyses of new interventions. However there is no sensitive tool to capture HRQoL that translates into utilities available. Objective: To document the exact HRQoL in patients with in KC using the generic EQ-5D-5L questionnaire, as well as the TTO, 15D and the BaSQoL questionnaire, and to develop health utilities based on these tools. Study design: Longitudinal observational study (at time 0 and time 0 +12 months). Study population: Patients aged ≥18 years consulting a dermatologist or their GP for diagnosis, treatment or follow-up of a (pre)malignant skin lesion(s).
This phase II single-arm two-stage neoadjuvant study of pembrolizumab in patients with PD-1 naïve high-risk resectable cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) will be conducted over a 52-week period. The study will include patients who have not undergone surgery to remove disease, to formally evaluate whether both biologically and clinically high-risk disease may benefit from neoadjuvant anti-PD-1 therapy. Response to neoadjuvant anti-PD-1 therapy will be evaluated for association with improved landmark Relapse-free Survival (RFS).
