Filter by:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Its early clinical manifestations are often subtle, leading to late-stage diagnosis in about 30% of cases with distant metastases. Liver metastases are widespread and associated with poor prognosis, especially in terms of response to immunotherapy. Despite advancements in first- and second-line treatments, third-line therapies for advanced CRC remain limited, emphasizing the need for novel strategies. This prospective study evaluates the efficacy of combined therapy involving Sintilimab, Fruquintinib/Regorafenib, and radiotherapy in advanced CRC. The study cohort comprises patients with non-liver metastatic advanced CRC and those with liver metastases, each receiving tailored treatment protocols. The primary objectives are to assess progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and treatment response rates. Subgroup analyses will focus on liver metastases to delineate their impact on treatment outcomes. The rationale for this study stems from the intricate interplay between immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and radiotherapy in CRC management. Previous data suggest a negative correlation between liver metastases and immunotherapy efficacy, necessitating a comprehensive approach integrating multiple treatment modalities. Radiotherapy, particularly stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), has shown promise in controlling liver tumors and modulating the tumor microenvironment, potentially enhancing immunotherapy responses. This study aims to provide valuable insights into optimizing third-line and subsequent therapies for advanced CRC by elucidating the efficacy and safety of this combined treatment approach. The findings may pave the way for personalized treatment strategies tailored to individual patient characteristics, ultimately improving clinical outcomes in this challenging disease setting.
Solid tumors pose significant challenges in current therapeutic approaches. Targeted therapy has emerged as a promising avenue, aiming to enhance treatment efficacy while minimizing adverse effects. This clinical trial focuses on an innovative combination of two targeted inhibitors, Palbociclib and Bevacizumab, for their potential synergistic effects in addressing these challenging malignancies. Moreover, this study incorporates a molecular approach by considering Long Non-Coding RNAs (LncRNAs) as biomarkers. Initiating with a focus on colorectal cancer, the study aims to expand its scope to other solid tumors, including lung, breast, ovarian and other cancers. Palbociclib, a cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor, disrupts the cell cycle progression, particularly in cancer cells with specific molecular characteristics. Bevacizumab, a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor, targets angiogenesis-a critical process for tumor growth and metastasis. The rationale behind combining these agents lies in their complementary mechanisms of action, potentially leading to enhanced antitumor effects. LncRNAs have shown promise in predicting treatment response and prognosis in various cancers, providing an additional layer of precision to the treatment strategy. By elucidating the molecular basis through LncRNA analysis, the trial aims to tailor the treatment to the specific molecular profile of each patient, ultimately striving for better outcomes and improved survival rates. This novel combination therapy, coupled with a personalized biomarker-driven approach, represents a cutting-edge strategy in the pursuit of more effective and individualized treatment for solid tumors.
Investigators established the efficacy evaluation criteria for tumor markers (RecistTM) in the preliminary research. Among patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, patients with positive driving genes are more likely to exhibit abnormalities in tumor markers, which suggests that this criteria may be more suitable for evaluating the efficacy of targeted therapy in driving gene positive patients. Moreover, The judgment rules of the prelimary criteria still need further improvement. Therefore, in order to broaden the application scope of the RecistTM criteria, further improve the evaluation rules of RecistTM criteria, and multi-dimensionally confirm the reliability of RecistTM criteria on efficacy evaluation, investigators plan to conduct research on the application of RecistTM criteria in evaluating the efficacy of targeted therapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer with positive driving genes.
To explore the efficacy and safety of chidamide combined with endocrine in phosphoinositide-3-kinase,catalytic,alpha gene(PI3KCA) wild type hormone receptor positive(HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer patients and to explore the efficacy and safety of Everolimus combined with endocrine therapy in patients with PI3KCA Mutant HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer.
This is a phase II trial to explore efficacy and safety of niraparib in combination with anlotinib based on CA 125 level in newly diagnosed ovarian cancer. After completion of 1st-line platinum-based chemotherapy with a normal CA-125 concentration, in patients with CA-125 increased > 35U/ml, and with no evidence of imaging recurrence, niraparib and anlotinib are used as 1st maintenance therapy for newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer after achieving complete or partial remission to platinum-containing chemotherapy. The primary objective of this study is to explore the efficacy of niraparib combined with anlotinib based on CA 125 level in newly diagnosed ovarian cancer with no evidence of imaging recurrence. A total o f36 patients will be enrolled in this study.
This study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Donafenib combined with paclitaxel and platinum ± programmed death 1 monoclonal antibody (PD-1 antibody) in patients with recurrent cervical cancer.
At present, surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the main treatment methods for patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancer. Although targeted therapy has significantly improved the prognosis of patients, the mortality of patients has not been significantly reduced, so new treatment methods are urgently needed. In recent years, immunotherapy has become a new hotspot in tumor therapy. Compared with traditional treatment, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIS) have shown long-term good efficacy and tolerance in clinical trials. However, single drug ICIS has reached a bottleneck for advanced gastrointestinal cancer, with low response rate and poor PFS and OS. With the results of REGONIVO showing good efficacy, the treatment mode of immune combined with small molecule anti angiogenesis drugs has sprung up. The purpose of this study was to analyze the efficacy and safety of in Camrelizumab combination with Apatinib mesylate in advanced gastrointestinal cancer.
The goal of this study is to develop and test the feasibility of a supportive care model (POISE) for patients with metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). The main questions are - is POISE feasible to deliver and acceptable to patients - what is the effect of POISE on the distress patients feel related to their uncertain future, their confidence in their ability to manage cancer, and their understanding about what to expect Participants in the randomized controlled trial will receive either the new supportive care model, POISE, which consists of four visits with a trained palliative care clinician, or care as usual, and will be asked to complete three surveys.
Esophageal cancer is the most prevalent cancer globally with poor survival outcome. The prognosis with surgery alone is poor, accounting for 30-40% of overall survival at 5 year. Either neoadjuvant chemotherapy (nCT) or chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) has been shown as efficatious therapy to improve patients outcomes in esophageal or esophagogastric junction cancer as compared with surgery alone. The purpose of this study was to explore the optimal neoadjuvant treatment modalities including PD-1/PD-L1 antibody or targeted drug for patients with esophageal or esophagogastric junction cancer.
Definitive chemoradiotherapy is the standard of care in unresectable esophageal or esophagogastric cancer. A multidisciplinary approach, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, is important for these patients. Morerover, molecular targeting agents does not show clear efficacy in EC up to now. Nowadays, the pace of development of cancer immunotherapies is accelerating. Clinical evidence of the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors and adoptive immunotherapies herald the onset of a new era in cancer immunotherapy. There have also been recent developments to provide a promising frontier in extending the use of immunotherpay or targeting agents to radiotherapy. The purpose of this study was to explore the optimal treatment modalities including PD-1/PD-L1 antibody or targeted drug for patients with unresectable esophageal or esophagogastric junction cancer.
