This study is for subjects who has been diagnosed with radioactive iodine refractory (RAIR) differentiated thyroid cancer. Subjects are expected to remain in the study for a minimum of 96 months. Drugs are FDA approved and is given in the form of Tablet to subjects. The procedures include urine protein test, CT, MRI. Risks include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, tiredness, weight loss, loss of appetite, changes in taste, redness, pain or peeling of palms and soles, High blood pressure. There is evidence that dabrafenib, trametinib and cabozantinib are effective in stabilizing and shrinking the type of cancer, we do not know which of these approaches are better at prolonging time until tumor growth. However, information learned from the trial may help other people in the future.
The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness and safety of the combination of an investigational vaccine, PDS0101, given by subcutaneous (beneath the skin) injection and the standard of care, Pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA), given intravenously ("IV;" into the vein) compared to pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA) alone for those with unresectable recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer and high risk papillomavirus infection. "Investigational" means the combination of the study vaccine and pembrolizumab being tested has not been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) nor any other Health Authority.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with advanced solid tumors. This study is testing an investigational drug called BNT317. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, absorption of BNT317. BNT317 is administered via intravenous (IV) infusion. Participants can continue to receive this study drug until it no longer gives them benefit. Researchers will continue to follow-up with patients long-term.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate investigational treatments (study drug) in people with recurrent or metastatic PD-L1-positive, HPV-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma without prior treatment. The goal is to determine the optimal dose level, safety, and tolerability for the study drug BCA101. This is a phase 2 study; BCA101 is not FDA approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Treatment for this study may be up to 5 years. The procedures include taking study drug intravenously, blood and urine samples, and CT scans. Risks include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, mouth sore, nose bleed, headache, and skin rash. You may or may not receive a direct benefit from participating in this trial, however, information learned from the trial may help other people in the future.
This study is designed to learn more about the effects of Petosemtamab, an investigational drug not FDA approved, compared to standard of care treatment for people with head and neck cancer that has been previously treated with immunotherapy and chemotherapy. If decided to take part in this study, participants will go through a screening period, treatment period, and follow-up period. During the screening period following signing of consent form participants will be evaluated for screening criteria and determined if they qualify for the study. During treatment period participants will be randomly assigned to either receiving petosemtamab or one of the three standard of care choices. In the follow up period the side effects after completion of petosemtamab administration or assigned standard of care treatment will be evaluated. Also, approximately every 12 weeks after study treatment stopped, either petosemtamab or assigned standard of care, participants will receive a phone call for long term follow-up for up to 1.5 years. Participation in this study may last up to two years. The participants will complete questionnaires to evaluate the differences in the quality of life for participants that received petosemtamab versus standard of care treatment. Some serious risk related to this study are infusion related reactions, rash and diarrhea. There may not a benefit from joining the study. The head and neck cancer may improve while on this study but it may not, and it may even get worse. It will also help inform how well Petosemtamab works at curing this type of cancer. The study results may be used to help others in the future.
This phase III study evaluates whether a new drug, dostarlimab, can delay or reduce the risk of cancer returning when administered for a year, shortly after receiving a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy (CRT). This study will enroll adults diagnosed with head and neck cancer who are treated with CRT. This study is divided into three parts: the screening period begins shortly after CRT and lasting 4-6 weeks where tests will be conducted to determine eligibility, followed by a 12-month treatment period where participants will receive either dostarlimab or an inactive substance (salt solution) with no effect on your body (placebo), and a follow up period when they will continue to be assessed to see if their cancer has returned or gotten worse. Participants may be on the study for approximately up to 5 years in total. The main risks are anaemia, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Alternatives to this treatment is standard of care CRT because for this type of head and neck cancer, at the present time, there are no other approved therapies administered shortly after CRT that may prevent or delay the return of the cancer. The study benefit is dostarlimab may help slow or stop the growth of your cancer.
This study is designed to learn more about how nivolumab and ipilimumab, with or without cabozantinib effects the growth and spreading of head and neck cancer. If decided to take part in this study, participants will go through a screening period, treatment period, and follow-up period. During the screening period following signing of consent form participants will be evaluated for screening criteria and determined if they qualify for the study. During treatment period participants will be randomly assigned to either receive the combination of two immunotherapy drugs, nivolumab and ipilimumab for up to 2 years, or the two immunotherapy drugs with an additional targeted drug, cabozantinib, for up to 2 years unless your cancer gets worse or the side effects of the treatment become too severe. In the follow up period the side effects will be observed by the study team every 3 to 4 months for 2 years after treatment. The most common risks and discomforts expected in this study are diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, tiredness, weight loss, loss of appetite, changes in taste or voice, redness, pain or peeling of palms and soles, and high blood pressure which may cause blurred vision. There may not a benefit from joining the study. The head and neck cancer may improve while on this study but it may not, and it may even get worse. It will also help inform how well this combination treatment works at curing this type of cancer. The study results may be used to help others in the future.
This phase III study is for participants with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) that is negative for a type of virus called human papilloma virus (HPV). If decided to participate in this study, participants will be receive either ficlatuzumab in combination with cetuximab, or placebo in combination with cetuximab. There are 3 Arms participants will be randomly assigned to: Arm 1 will receive ficlatuzumab (10mg/kg by intravenous (IV) infusion) and cetuximab (by IV infusion), Arm 2 will be given ficlatuzumab (20mg/kg by IV infusion) and cetuximab, and Arm 3 will receive placebo and cetuximab. The effectiveness of the 2 different ficlatuzumab groups (Arm 1 and Arm 2) will be compared at the first on-study scan, and the more successful Arm will began enroll more participants. This study is estimated to last approximately 5 years. Study drugs will be administered until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, death, or until the Sponsor terminates the study (whichever comes first). The main risk associate with the trial are swelling of your lower legs or arms, fatigue, shortness of breath, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, bone pain, decreased appetite, anemia, high level of liver enzymes in your blood, dizziness, infusion reactions, cardiopulmonary arrest, pulmonary (lung) toxicity, skin reactions, inflammation of the mouth, low blood counts, liver problems, infection, headache, allergic reactions, and there may be unknown risks. This treatment can not guarantee the cancer will get better, since it may stay the same or get worse. What is discovered from this study may help other people in the future. The alternative to this study is not participating in this study and receiving HNSCC in patients who have previously received immunotherapy including chemotherapy with other treatment drugs or another clinical trial.
This study is for men and women with HER2-positive salivary gland cancer (SGC) that has come back, spread outside of their salivary gland, or cannot be removed by surgery. This study is being done to find out if ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) extends the length of time without the cancer getting worse compared to the usual approach.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effectiveness of using a combination of pembrolizumab and olaparib when given before and after standard chemoradiation therapy in treating locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Pembrolizumab and olaparib are drugs that are approved for treatment of different cancers including lung, head and neck, breast and prostate cancer. However, FDA has not approved use of these two drugs together in treating head and neck cancer.
Treatment will be offered in three phases. In the induction phase, participants will receive a single infusion of pembrolizumab and will take olaparib tablets twice daily for total of 21 days. Participants will move to the chemoradiation phase, where they will receive radiation therapy and chemotherapy per routine standard care, for a total of 7 weeks. Chemoradiation therapy is done on a daily basis (excluding weekends), and chemotherapy therapy will involve a cisplatin infusion once weekly. At the conclusion of this phase, participants start the maintenance phase, which involves treatment with pembrolizumab and olaparib in cycles that are 42-days long. Treatment will include a single pembrolizumab infusion during each cycle and taking olaparib tablets twice daily during each cycle. Total number of cycles to be completed in the maintenance phase are 8 cycles. Participants can expect to be in this study for about 6.5 years.
