3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This is a Phase I, open-label study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of INO-3106 alone or in combination with INO-9012 DNA vaccines delivered by Electroporation to subjects with HPV6 associated aerodigestive precancerous lesions and malignancies.
RATIONALE: Photodynamic therapy uses a drug that becomes active when it is exposed to a certain kind of light. When the drug is active, precancerous cells and cancer cells are killed. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well photodynamic therapy with porfimer sodium works in treating patients with precancerous lesions, cancer, or other disease of the aerodigestive tract.
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, can block abnormal cell growth in different ways. Some block the ability of abnormal cells to grow and spread. Others find abnormal cells and help kill them or carry cell-killing substances to them. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well cetuximab works in treating patients with precancerous lesions of the upper aerodigestive tract.
