Bevacizumab in Adults With Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis (RRP)

Background: Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a rare disease that causes wart-like growths in the airways. These growths come back when removed; some people may need 2 or more surgeries per year to keep their airways clear. Better treatments are needed. Objective: To see if a drug called bevacizumab can reduce the number of surgeries needed in people with RRP. Eligibility: People aged 18 and older with recurrent RRP; they must need surgery to remove the growths in their airways. Design: Participants will be screened. Their ability to breathe and speak will be evaluated. They will have an endoscopy: a flexible tube with a light and camera will be inserted into their nose and throat. They will have a test of their heart function and imaging scans of their chest. Participants will have surgery to remove the growths in their airways. Bevacizumab is given through a small tube placed in a vein in the arm. After the surgery, participants will receive 11 doses of this drug: every 3 weeks for 3 doses, and then every 6 weeks for 8 more doses. They will come to the clinic for each dose; each visit will be about 8 hours. Tissue samples of the growths will be collected after the second treatment; this will be done under general anesthesia. Participants may undergo apheresis: Blood will be drawn from a needle in an arm. The blood will pass through a machine that separates out the cells needed for the study. The remaining blood will be returned to the body through a second needle. Follow-up will continue for 1 year after the last treatment....

HSV G207 in Children With Recurrent or Refractory Cerebellar Brain Tumors

This study is a clinical trial to determine the safety of inoculating G207 (an experimental virus therapy) into a recurrent or refractory cerebellar brain tumor. The safety of combining G207 with a single low dose of radiation, designed to enhance virus replication, tumor cell killing, and an anti-tumor immune response, will also be tested.

Quality of Life After Primary TORS vs IMRT for Patients With Early-stage Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is now the most frequently diagnosed head and neck cancer in Denmark which is mainly due to the increase of Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Patients with HPV-positive OPSCC have a significantly higher survival rate compared to HPV-negative OPSCC. The traditional primary treatment modality in Denmark is Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), and in advanced stages in combination with chemotherapy. Since 2009, Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) has enabled surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery as an alternative to standard radiotherapy treatment which is considered the primary treatment for OPSCC in many countries. There is a lack of randomised trials comparing long-term functional outcomes after TORS or IMRT. Current data are mostly derived from retrospective studies with selection bias. However, several small retrospective studies have shown promising results when comparing the two treatment modalities in favour of TORS with regards to treatment related swallowing function and quality of life (QoL) without compromising survival outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the early and long-term functional outcomes following two treatment arms 1) TORS combined with neck dissection and 2) IMRT±concurrent chemotherapy with a special focus on swallowing-related QoL.

Efficacy and Safety of Multimodal Ablation Combined With PD-1 Monoclonal Antibody, Lenvatinib and TACE in the Treatment of Unresectable Primary Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Single-Arm, Single-Center Clinical Study

This study is a prospective, single-arm, single-center trial evaluating the efficacy of TACE combined with multimodal ablation, Tislelizumab, and lenvatinib in the treatment of unresectable primary liver cancer.

AB-1015, an Integrated Circuit T (ICT) Cell Therapy in Patients With Platinum Resistant Epithelial Ovarian Cancer

This is a multi-center, open-label phase 1 dose escalation trial that uses a modified 3+3 design to identify a recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of AB-1015 cell product. Backfill cohorts will enroll additional subjects at doses deemed to be safe for a total enrollment of up to 12 subjects per each backfill cohort on the protocol.

Anlotinib Combined With Carboplatin/Paclitaxel as First-line Treatment in Patients With Advanced Ovarian Cancer

It has been reported that antiangiogenic drugs combined with chemotherapy as first-line treatment, and subsequent antiangiogenic drugs as maintenance therapy for ovarian cancer can achieve better clinical benefits. Therefore, this study is expected to investigate the efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with carboplatin/paclitaxel as first-line treatment in patients with advanced ovarian cancer.

Pembrolizumab and Lenvatinib for Platinum- Sensitive Recurrent Ovarian Cancer

This is a study of pembrolizumab (MK-3475, KEYTRUDA®) in combination with lenvatinib (E7080) for the treatment of platinum sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer. Participants will receive pembrolizumab and lenvatinib.
