This is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, open-label study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fostrox in combination with lenvatinib compared with lenvatinib alone in patients with locally advanced or unresectable advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who have experienced radiologically confirmed disease progression following first-line combination immunotherapy. Approximately 80 patients will be enrolled at 9 study sites and randomized in a 1:1 ratio to 1 of 2 treatment arms: fostrox plus lenvatinib or lenvatinib alone. Patients assigned to the investigational arm will receive fostrox orally once daily on Days 1 through 5 of each 21-day cycle in combination with continuous daily lenvatinib. Patients assigned to the control arm will receive lenvatinib alone according to the approved weight-based dosing regimen. Treatment will continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or other protocol-defined discontinuation criteria are met. The study population includes adult patients with locally advanced or unresectable metastatic HCC who have received at least 2 cycles of first-line systemic therapy with an immunotherapy combination and have radiologically confirmed disease progression. Eligible patients must have measurable disease according to RECIST version 1.1 and mRECIST, adequate organ function, and Child-Pugh class A liver function. The primary objective is to assess objective response rate (ORR) as determined by an Independent Review Facility (IRF) according to RECIST v1.1. Secondary objectives include evaluation of ORR by investigator assessment according to RECIST v1.1 and mRECIST, duration of response, disease control rate, progression-free survival, time to progression, overall survival, and safety and tolerability. Safety evaluations will include assessment of adverse events, serious adverse events, laboratory parameters, vital signs, and other clinical assessments. Exploratory objectives include evaluation of peripheral blood-based biomarkers, metabolic changes associated with study treatment, collection and storage of DNA and RNA for exploratory analyses, and pharmacokinetic assessment of fostrox and its metabolite troxacitabine in patients receiving fostrox in combination with lenvatinib. Tumor assessments will be performed at protocol-defined intervals using radiologic imaging. The primary efficacy analysis will be based on IRF assessment according to RECIST v1.1. This study is intended to characterize the clinical activity and safety profile of fostrox plus lenvatinib compared with lenvatinib alone in this patient population and to generate data to inform future clinical development.
NCT07487896
This is a large clinical study carried out at multiple hospitals. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group will receive a new medicine called YL201, and the other group will receive standard chemotherapy chosen by the doctor. The purpose of the study is to see whether YL201 works better and is safer for people with locally advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma whose first-line treatment has stopped working. The study will also look at how YL201 is processed in the body (PK), whether it triggers any immune reactions, and whether certain biological markers can help predict how well it works.
NCT03233711
This phase III trial investigates how well nivolumab after combined modality therapy works in treating patients with high risk stage II-IIIB anal cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
NCT02893917
This randomized phase II trial studies how well olaparib with or without cediranib works in treating patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). PARPs are proteins that help repair DNA mutations. PARP inhibitors, such as olaparib, can keep PARP from working, so tumor cells can't repair themselves, and they may stop growing. Cediranib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving olaparib and cediranib may help treat patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer.

1. Background and Rationale:: Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a β-galactoside-binding protein involved in various biological processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, adhesion, and immune regulation. In cancer, Gal-3 promotes tumor progression by enhancing cell survival, metastasis, and angiogenesis. Additionally, Gal-3 can upregulate Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PDL-1) expression on cancer cells, contributing to immune evasion. PDL-1, an immune checkpoint protein, binds to its receptor PD-1 on T cells, inhibiting their activity and allowing cancer cells to escape immune detection. The interaction between Gal-3 and PDL-1 creates an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, reducing the efficacy of PDL-1 inhibitor therapies. Gal-3 drives the inflammatory response and can worsen the inflammation based side effects of PD-1/PDL-1 inhibitos. Understanding this interplay is crucial for optimizing treatments and improving patient outcomes in cancer immunotherapy. The present study employs the FDA-approved, automated Architect system, initially used in cardiology, to ensure high accuracy and consistency in Gal-3 measurement. This method represents a significant advance over traditional manual ELISA kits, aiming to standardize and reproduce results across the patient cohort and to optimize the application of XGAL-3 apheresis based on robust data. The study results can help optimize the use of the XGAL-3 therapeutic apheresis as an adjuvant treatment to enhance the efficacy and reduce the side effects associated with PDL-1 inhibitors. Therefore, the aim of this study is to conduct an observational clinical trial assessing the correlation between Galectin-3 Level and immunotherapy Outcomes in renal cell carcinoma, non small cell lung cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma patients treated with PD-1/ PDL-1 Inhibitors 2. Study Objectives: * Primary objectives: To correlate Gal-3 levels with patient outcomes, including response to treatment, duration of response, survival, and side effects observed. * Secondary objectives: To monitor and analyze serum Gal-3 level \& fluctuations over the course of PD-1/PDL-1 inhibitors in oncological patients. 3.

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of sapanisertib when given together with cabozantinib, and to see how well they work in treating patients with liver cancer that has spread from where it first started to other places in the body (metastatic) and contains a mutation (change) in the β-catenin gene. Sapanisertib and cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving sapanisertib and cabozantinib together may work better than giving cabozantinib alone in treating β-catenin-mutated metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma.
NCT01660971
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of gemcitabine hydrochloride and dasatinib when given together with erlotinib hydrochloride in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Dasatinib and erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving gemcitabine hydrochloride and dasatinib together with erlotinib hydrochloride may kill more tumor cells.

M1774 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving M1774 may be able to shrink or stabilize refractory SPOP-mutant prostate cancer.
NCT07328490
Background: Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is the most deadly form of lung cancer. It kills at least 250,000 worldwide each year. Extra-pulmonary neuroendocrine cancer (EP-NEC) is a similar type of cancer that develops anywhere other than the lungs. EP-NEC is also very aggressive. Better treatments are needed for these cancers. Objective: To test 2 drugs (tarlatamab combined with sacituzumab govitecan \[SG\]) in people with SCLC or EP-NEC. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with SCLC or EP-NEC that either did not respond to or returned after treatment. Design: Participants will be screened with a physical exam, blood tests, heart function testing, and imaging scans. Both study drugs are given intravenously (through a needle in the arm). Participants will receive a small starter dose of tarlatamab (1 mg) 2 weeks before beginning regular treatment, followed by the full dose (10 mg) one week later. Treatment then follows a repeating 4-week cycle: tarlatamab (10 mg) on days 1 and 15, and sacituzumab govitecan (7.5 or 10 mg/kg) on days 1 and 8. Treatment continues for up to 2 years, unless the cancer worsens, the participant passes away, or side effects become too severe. Participants will have regular check-ups including physical exams, blood tests, and imaging scans to monitor safety and treatment response. Blood and tumor samples will be collected for research purposes. After stopping treatment, participants will return for a safety check at 30 days, then be contacted every 3 months to check on their health and survival. Those who stop treatment for reasons other than cancer progression will continue CT scans every 8 weeks until their disease progresses.

Recombinant interleukin-12 may stimulate the white blood cells to kill tumor cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread Giving recombinant interleukin-12 together with cetuximab may kill more tumor cells.
NCT06980038
This phase II trial compares the effectiveness of cemiplimab with CDX-1140 to cemiplimab without CDX-1140 prior to surgery in treating patients with stage III-IV head and neck cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as cemiplimab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. CDX-1140 is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Giving cemiplimab with CDX-1140 versus cemiplimab alone before surgery may make the tumor smaller and may reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed for patients with stage III-IV head and neck cancer.
NCT05198830
This phase II trial tests whether TRC102 (methoxyamine hydrochloride) in combination usual care treatment comprised of pemetrexed, cisplatin or carboplatin, and radiation therapy followed by durvalumab works better than the usual care treatment alone to shrink tumors in patients with stage III non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). TRC102 is in a class of drugs called antineoplastic agents. It blocks the ability of a cell to repair damage to its deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill tumor cells. It may also help some anticancer drugs work better. Pemetrexed is in a class of medications called antifolate antineoplastic agents. It works by stopping cells from using folic acid to make DNA and may kill tumor cells. Cisplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy sources to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving TRC102 in combination with usual care treatment may be more effective than usual care treatment alone in stabilizing and lengthening survival time in patients with stage III non-squamous NSCLC.
NCT04751370
This phase II trial investigates the effect of nivolumab and ipilimumab when given together with short-course radiation therapy in treating patients with rectal cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving nivolumab, ipilimumab, and radiation therapy may kill more cancer cells.
NCT02581137
This phase IIa trial studies how well metformin hydrochloride works in preventing oral cancer in patients with an oral premalignant lesion (oral leukoplakia or erythroplakia). Oral premalignant lesions look like red or whitish plaques or lesions in the mouth that do not rub off and can be associated with a higher risk of cancer. Metformin hydrochloride may help prevent oral cancer from forming in patients with an oral premalignant lesion.
NCT03191149
This phase II trial studies how well osimertinib works in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation that is stage IIIB-IV or has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Osimertinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
NCT06345508
Worldwide, liver cancers are the third most common cause of cancer mortality. Even when liver cancer is suspected by blood tests, imaging is required to determine the location, size, and extent of disease. Medical societies therefore recommend surveillance with ultrasound every 6 months in at-risk patients. However, a key challenge to improving the survival is that ultrasound may miss half of early-stage liver cancers, thus diagnosis must rely on additional tests such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or biopsy. Hence, there is a clear need to improve the ability to detect liver cancers, especially with ultrasound. The investigator's team proposes novel ultrasound approaches to detect cancer nodules invisible on conventional ultrasound based on differences in mechanical and structural properties between liver and tumor. Improving detection is critical because liver cancer can be cured only if detected at an early stage, as shown by improvements in survival rates in patients enrolled in surveillance programs. The investigator's multi-disciplinary, national, and international team includes experts in clinical fields (hepatology, oncology, radiology, pathology), basic sciences (engineering, medical physics, machine learning, biostatistics), and patient partnership. The investirgator will apply the methodology of patient partner recruitment and collaborate with the Centre of Excellence on Partnership with Patients and the Public to select potential new collaborators. This will permit this project to be informed at every stage by patient and family perspectives, ensuring that the results of this project will be more robust, impactful, and aligned with the priorities, needs and experiences of those who live with liver cancer. The investigator submits a research proposal focused on advanced imaging techniques because imaging constitutes a foundation for surveillance, diagnosis, staging, treatment selection and assessment of treatment response in patients with liver cancer.
NCT07042295
This phase II trial compares the effect of amivantamab and hyaluronidase to cetuximab for the treatment of skin (cutaneous) squamous cell carcinoma that has come back after a period of improvement and has not spread to other parts of the body (locally recurrent) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Amivantamab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Hyaluronidase is an endoglycosidase. It helps to keep amivantamab in the body longer, so that the medications will have a greater effect. Cetuximab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It binds to a protein called EGFR, which is found on some types of cancer cells. This may help keep cancer cells from growing. Giving amivantamab and hyaluronidase may be as effective as cetuximab for the treatment of locally recurrent or metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.
NCT07061964
This phase II trial tests the effect of giving pembrolizumab in combination with radiation therapy after chemotherapy in preventing surgery to remove the bladder in patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer. Standard of care therapy includes chemotherapy before surgery (neoadjuvant) to shrink or get rid of the tumor. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the tumor, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Photon beam radiation therapy is a type of radiation therapy that uses x-rays or gamma rays that come from a special machine called a linear accelerator. The radiation dose is delivered at the surface of the body and goes into the tumor and through the body. Giving pembrolizumab in combination with radiation therapy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy may help prevent surgical removal of the bladder in patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer.
NCT03647358
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new diagnostic imaging test, positron emission tomography (PET), with a different radioactive form of iodine called iodine-124. This form is able to accurately measure the amount of radioactive iodine uptake in the cancer. If the new test determines sufficient radioiodine uptake in the cancer, treatment will continue as usual. However, if the new test shows only low radioiodine uptake, a decision may be made that the benefit from radioiodine therapy is insufficient and that another form of therapy is preferred.
