3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This phase I/Ib trial tests the safety and best dose of ipatasertib in combination with the usual treatment approach using chemotherapy together with radiation therapy ("chemo-radiation") in patients with head and neck cancer. Ipatasertib is in a class of medications called protein kinase B (AKT) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of tumor cells and may kill them. Cisplatin which is a chemotherapy used in this trial is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Radiation therapy uses high energy to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving ipatasertib in combination with chemo-radiation may be better than chemo-radiation alone in treating patients with advanced head and neck cancer.
The aim of this research study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a combination of immunotherapy, using a drug called toripalimab, with chemotherapy drugs, Carboplatin and Docetaxel, as a possible treatment before surgery for sinonasal cancers. The names of the study drugs used in this research study are: * Toripalimab (a type of monoclonal antibody) * Carboplatin (a type of antineoplastic agent) * Docetaxel (a type of antineoplastic agent) * Cisplatin (a type of antineoplastic agent)
This phase II trial studies how well docetaxel, cisplatin and fluorouracil work in treating patients with previously untreated stage II-IV nasal cavity and/or paranasal sinus cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, cisplatin and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.
