NCT07251582
This prospective study aims to investigate whether the time of day when immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are administered affects the efficacy of neoadjuvant immunotherapy in patients with resectable stage II-III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Eligible patients will receive standard-of-care neoadjuvant ICI plus platinum-based chemotherapy and be randomly assigned to either a morning infusion group (08:00-11:00) or an afternoon infusion group (15:00-18:00). The primary objective is to compare the pathological complete response (pCR) rates between groups. Secondary outcomes include major pathological response (MPR) and event-free survival (EFS). The study will include independent imaging and pathology review for endpoint assessment.
NCT07248020
This clinical study investigates the anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties of a high-bioavailability formulation of curcumin (BCM-95) in patients with mid-to-low rectal cancer receiving neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT). Curcumin, a polyphenolic compound derived from Curcuma longa, has demonstrated potent anti-inflammatory and anti-neoplastic activities through the modulation of multiple molecular signaling pathways. It has been recognized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as "Generally Recognized as Safe" (GRAS; GRN No. 686), with an excellent safety profile when administered orally. Reported adverse effects are rare and primarily related to interference with bile secretion or iron metabolism. Despite its biological potential, conventional curcumin exhibits extremely low oral bioavailability due to its lipophilic nature, rapid metabolism, and systemic elimination. Clinical studies have reported that even at an oral dose of 12 grams per day, the maximum plasma concentration reaches only about 0.051 mg/mL, with up to 75% of the administered dose excreted in feces. To overcome this limitation, the current trial utilizes a curcumin formulation with enhanced absorption (BCM-95), which combines curcumin with essential oils of turmeric to improve systemic bioavailability. The primary objective of this single-arm, phase II trial is to evaluate whether oral curcumin supplementation can mitigate radiation-induced gastrointestinal toxicity-particularly radiation enteritis-during neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for rectal cancer. The secondary objectives include assessing its effect on treatment response, such as the pathological complete response (pCR) rate, tumor regression grade, and patient-reported outcomes related to bowel function and quality of life. In addition, a translational research component is embedded within this study. Serial tumor tissue and blood samples will be collected at predefined time points to explore the molecular and immunological mechanisms underlying curcumin's therapeutic effects. Analyses will include assessments of inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress markers, and tumor microenvironmental changes using molecular and histopathologic methods. Overall, this study aims to provide both clinical and mechanistic evidence supporting the potential of high-bioavailability curcumin as a safe, adjunctive therapeutic strategy to improve treatment tolerance and oncologic outcomes in rectal cancer patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy.
