194 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This project investigates the feasibility of assessing the relative blood volume of carcinomas in patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) and liver metastases from pancreatic or colorectal cancer compared to normal liver from DynaCT acquisitions on an interventional platform.
This early phase IIA trial studies how well celecoxib, recombinant interferon alfa-2b, and rintatolimod work in treating patients with colorectal cancer that as spread to the liver. Celecoxib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Recombinant interferon alfa-2b is a substance that can improve the body's natural response and may interfere with the growth of tumor cells. Rintatolimod may stimulate the immune system. Giving celecoxib, recombinant interferon alfa-2b, and rintatolimod may work better at treating colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver.
This clinical trial studies the side effects and best way to perform yttrium Y-90 radioembolization in treating patients with liver cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Yttrium Y-90 radioembolization is a therapy that injects radioactive microspheres directly into an artery that feeds liver tumors to cut off their blood supply. Performing yttrium Y-90 radioembolization in a single session may make treatment faster, minimize patient travel, and decrease the overall cost of the procedure.
This pilot clinical trial studies the side effects and how well durvalumab and tremelimumab work in treating patients with microsatellite stable colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. Monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab and tremelimumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
This research clinical trial studies high definition single cell analysis in blood and tissue samples from patients with colorectal cancer which has spread to the liver. High definition single cell analysis allows doctors to study the properties of cancer cells that are sometimes found in the blood of patients and to determine how the genes and proteins in them may change over time. Studying samples from patients with colorectal cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about how cancer spreads, as well as how to predict the disease outcomes in patients with cancer.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and how well tremelimumab and durvalumab work in treating patients with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and can be removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as tremelimumab and durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
This phase II trial tests how well cemiplimab and transarterial radioembolization (TARE) with yttrium-90 (Y90) SIR-Spheres, registered trademark, works in treating breast cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to the liver (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as cemiplimab, may help the body's immune system attack the tumor, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. TARE is a treatment that uses radioactive microspheres, such as Y90 SIR-S Spheres, to both cause hepatic artery embolization and to deliver regional radiotherapy. Y90 SIR-S Spheres is an injectable form of the radioisotope yttrium Y 90 encapsulated in resin microspheres. When injected into the artery supplying the tumor, yttrium Y 90 resin microspheres block the tumor blood vessels and deliver the yttrium Y 90 directly to the tumor site, which may kill or slow tumor growth. Giving cemiplimab and Y90 SIR-Spheres by TARE to the tumor in the liver may kill more tumor cells in patients with metastatic breast cancer.
This study is being done to collect tissue samples to test how accurately a tumor response platform, Elephas, can predict clinical response across multiple types of immunotherapies, chemoimmunotherapy and tumor types.
This phase II trial studies the effects of radioembolization with yttrium Y-90 works as a 2nd or 3rd line therapy for treating patients with breast cancer that has spread to the liver (metastatic to the liver). Yttrium Y-90 radioembolization is a therapy that injects radioactive particles directly into an artery that feeds liver tumors to cut off their blood supply.
This clinical trial studies if enhanced outpatient symptom management with telemedicine and remote monitoring can help reduce acute care visit due to chemotherapy-related adverse events. Receiving telemedicine and remote monitoring may help patients have better outcomes (such as fewer avoidable emergency room visits and hospitalizations, better quality of life, fewer symptoms, and fewer treatment delays) than patients who receive usual care.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of anti-CTLA4-NF monoclonal antibody (mAb) (BMS986218), nivolumab, and stereotactic body radiation therapy in treating patients with solid malignancies that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as anti-CTLA4-NF mAb (BMS-986218) and nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving -CTLA4-NF mAb (BMS986218), nivolumab, and stereotactic body radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of anti-glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor (GITR) agonistic monoclonal antibody BMS-986156 (BMS-986156) when given together with ipilimumab and nivolumab with or without stereotactic body radiation therapy and to see how well they work in treating patients with lung/chest or liver cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as BMS-986156, ipilimumab, and nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method can kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. It is not yet known whether giving BMS-986156, ipilimumab, and nivolumab with or without stereotactic body radiation therapy will work better in treating patients with lung/chest or liver cancers.
The purpose of this research study is: * To find out how safe the study drug, pembrolizumab, is when combined with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to the liver. * To see how well subjects can tolerate treatment with pembrolizumab and SBRT. * To find out how often colorectal cancer comes back 1 year after surgically removing all known disease and being treated with SBRT and pembrolizumab.
This is a single arm, phase II study without blinding. The purpose is to determine the impact of hepatic artery infusion Floxuridine (FUDR) on liver metastases from pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Patients at Spectrum Health will receive standard of care chemotherapy. They will also receive chemotherapy via surgically placed hepatic artery infusion (HAI) pump.
Estimation of the concordance of Tc 99m localization in liver metastases from colorectal carcinoma using SPECT/CT imaging and abdominal FDG (PET)/CT imaging per subject.
This study will review the treatment and outcomes of patients having primary and metastatic hepatic malignancies. Patients treated with surgical resection, percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) will be compared with patients not receiving these treatments. Tumor recurrence and survival data will be compared to the published literature to determine the efficacy of current treatment strategies in this patient population.
Preliminary studies with a variety of vaccines suggest target accessibility (potential immunogenicity) in a variety of solid tumors to immune directed approaches. In an effort to overcome limitations of immunostimulatory cancer vaccines, Gradalis has designed a novel autologous vaccine to address inability to fully identify cancer associated antigens, antigen recognition by the immune system (i.e. antigen--\>immunogen), effector potency, and cancer-induced resistance. In an effort to overcome limitations of immunostimulatory cancer vaccines, we designed a novel dual-modulatory autologous whole cell vaccine, Vigil™, incorporating the rhGMCSF transgene and the bifunctional shRNAfurin (to block proprotein conversion to active TGFb1 and b2) to 1) address the inability to fully identify cancer associated antigens, 2) effect antigen recognition by the immune system, 3) enhance effector potency, and 4) subvert endogenous cancer-induced immune resistance. We have also completed the Phase I assessment of Vigil™ vaccine in 30 advanced solid tumor patients (1.0 x 10\^7 cells/injection/month for a maximum of 12 vaccinations) who have not experienced any significant adverse effects following 144 vaccinations, including 6 patients with colorectal carcinoma. Plasmid functionality, immune biomarker response, and preliminary evidence of anticancer activity have been observed. This is a two-part Phase II study of the Vigil™ autologous vaccine. Six patients will be enrolled into the Part 1 of the study to receive intradermal autologous Vigil™ cancer vaccine (1.0 x 10\^7 cells/injection; maximum of 12 vaccinations). Part 2 of the study will be a randomized Phase II study of sandwich or adjuvant chemotherapy and intradermal autologous Vigil™ cancer vaccine (1.0 x 10\^7 cells/injection; maximum of 12 vaccinations) versus sandwich or adjuvant chemotherapy and placebo in patients with colorectal carcinoma with either synchronous or metachronous liver metastases (CLM +/= pulmonary metastases) following resection +/= ablation with curative intent.Sandwich therapy indicates a combination of both pre-operative and postoperative chemotherapy as opposed to neo-adjuvant (all chemotherapy prior to surgery) or adjuvant (all chemotherapy following surgery) therapy. A minimum harvest aliquot to produce 4 monthly injections will be required for entry into the study. Patients in whom insufficient tissue (\<4 doses) is collected or whose vaccine fails manufacturing release criteria will not receive vaccine.
This clinical trial evaluated the safety and tolerability of CRS-100, an investigational agent containing a live-attenuated strain of Listeria monocytogenes (Lm). CRS-100 is attenuated by genetic modification to limit cell to cell spread and invasion of liver cells. These attenuations result in decreased virulence of CRS-100 in mice but retain the ability of the investigational agent to stimulate immunity in test animals and generate anti-tumor activity in mice. The primary objective of this study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and to explore the safety profile of a single intravenous dose of CRS-100 in consenting volunteers. Immunological response to CRS-100 and tumor status of study participants were also measured. Participation in this first clinical trial with CRS-100 was restricted to adults with carcinoma refractory to standard treatment (or for whom no standard treatment is available) and who additionally had liver metastases.
This study will be conducted in subjects with refractory colorectal carcinoma with unresectable liver metastases. The purposes of the study are: * to evaluate the safety and any harmful effects of an intravenous injection of Ad.hIFN-β; * help determine whether the virus carrying the interferon-beta gene will enter the bloodstream and liver tumor cells and cause the cancer cells to die.
BrUOG-430 is a prospective, single-arm, phase 2 trial evaluating yttrium-90 radioembolization in combination with capecitabine and atezolizumab for the treatment of unresectable colorectal cancer liver metastases in individuals who have been treated with two or more lines of systemic therapy.
This phase I trial studies how well an imaging agent called I-124 M5A works in detecting CEA-positive colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. I-124 M5A is a monoclonal antibody, called M5A, linked to a radioactive substance called I-124. M5A binds to CEA-positive cancer cells and may, through imaging scans, be able to detect liver metastases by picking up signals from I-124.
This randomized phase I trial studies how well anti-semaphorin 4D (anti-SEMA4D) monoclonal antibody VX15/2503 with or without ipilimumab or nivolumab work in treating patients with stage I-III pancreatic cancer that can be removed by surgery or stage IV colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and can be removed by surgery. Monoclonal antibodies, such as anti-SEMA4D monoclonal antibody VX15/2503, ipilimumab, and nivolumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of combination chemotherapy and bevacizumab, and to see how well they work with the NovoTTF-100L(P) system in treating participants with cancer that has come back or does not respond to treatment and has spread to the liver. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin, leucovorin, fluorouracil, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride, and temsirolimus, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. The NovoTTF-100L(P) system is a portable device that uses electrical fields to stop the growth of tumor cells. Giving combination chemotherapy and monoclonal antibody therapy while using the NovoTTF-100L(P) system may kill more tumor cells.
Background: A most common liver cancer in adults is hepatocellular carcinoma. Other kinds of liver cancer happen when colorectal or pancreatic cancer spreads to the liver. Researchers want to study if a combination of drugs helps people with these cancers. The drugs are nivolumab, tadalafil, and vancomycin. Objective: To investigate if nivolumab given with tadalafil and vancomycin causes liver cancer to shrink. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 years and older with hepatocellular carcinoma or metastases to the liver from colorectal or pancreatic cancer for which standard treatment has not worked Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical and cancer history Review of symptoms and ability to perform normal activities Physical exam Heart test. Some participants may meet with a cardiologist and/or have another heart test. Scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis Blood and urine tests Tumor sample review. This can be from a previous procedure. Participants will receive the study drugs in 4-week cycles. In each cycle participants will: Get nivolumab through a small plastic tube in the arm on Day 1. Take tadalafil by mouth 1 time every day. Take vancomycin by mouth 4 times a day. They will take it every day for weeks 1 3, then not take it for week 4. Complete a medicine diary of dates, times, missed doses and symptoms. Throughout the study, participants will repeat screening tests and will give stool samples or rectal swabs. After their last cycle, participants will have 3 follow-up visits over 3 months. Then they will be contacted every 6 months by phone or email and asked about their general well-being. ...
This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of radiation therapy in treating patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, or cancer that has spread from the original (primary) tumor to the liver who also have impaired liver function (liver damage caused by cirrhosis, chemotherapy, or surgery). Radiation therapy (RT) uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. New methods of giving RT to the liver may help control cancer.
This phase I trial is studying the safety and best dose of GC33 and Sorafenib in combination in patients with advanced or metastatic liver cancer.
This phase I trial is studying the safety and best dose of GC33 in patients with advanced or metastatic liver cancer.
This pilot study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of chemo-radiotherapy comprising a regimen of FOLFOX6 chemotherapy plus SIR-Spheres yttrium-90 microspheres (chemo-radiotherapy, also known as "chemo-SIRT"), in combination with the biologic therapy Bevacizumab (Avastin), for the first-line treatment of patients with liver metastases from colorectal carcinoma in whom surgical resection is not feasible.
5 fluorouracil (5 FU), one of the most actively investigated anti-cancer drugs, is rapidly inactivated by the enzyme dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD). ADH300004 blocks DPD. This study will examine the kinetics of inhibition and recovery of the metabolic pathways for fluoropyrimidines in subjects who receive a single oral dose of ADH300004, and may allow optimization of oral 5 FU dosing to subjects in future studies.
This study is being done to determine the dose of a chemotherapy drug (irinotecan \[irinotecan hydrochloride\]) that can be tolerated as part of a combination of drugs. There is a combination of chemotherapy drugs often used to treat gastrointestinal cancer, which consists of 5-FU (fluorouracil), leucovorin (leucovorin calcium), irinotecan and oxaliplatin and is known as "FOLFIRINOX". FOLFIRINOX is a current drug therapy combination (or regimen) used for people with advanced pancreatic cancer, although this combination is not Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for this indication. FOLFIRINOX was recently shown in a separate clinical trial to increase survival compared to another commonly used drug in pancreatic cancer called gemcitabine. FOLFIRINOX is also a reasonable regimen for those with other advanced cancers of the gastrointestinal tract, including colon cancer, rectal cancer, esophagus cancer, stomach cancer, gall bladder cancer, bile duct cancer, ampullary cancer, and cancers with an unknown primary location. The best dose of irinotecan to use in FOLFIRINOX is not known. This study will analyze one gene (uridine 5'-diphospho \[UDP\] glucuronosyltransferase 1 family, polypeptide A1 \[UGT1A1\] gene) of subjects for the presence of an alteration in that gene, which may affect how the body handles irinotecan. Genes help determine some of the investigators individual characteristics, such as eye color, height and skin tone. Genes may also determine why people get certain diseases and how medicines may affect them. The result of the genetic analysis will divide subjects into one of three groups: A, B, or C. Group A (approximately 45% of subjects) will receive the standard dose of irinotecan. Group B (approximately 45% of subjects) will receive a lower dose of irinotecan. Group C (approximately 10% of subjects) will receive an even lower dose of irinotecan
