Paclitaxel Treatment Options in New Jersey

This study is researching an experimental drug called fianlimab (also called REGN3767) with two other medications called cemiplimab and platinum-doublet chemotherapy, individually called a "study drug" or collectively called "study drugs", when combined in this study. The study is being conducted in patients who have resectable stage II to IIIB (N2) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that can be treated with surgery. The aim of the study is to see how effective the combination of fianlimab, cemiplimab, and chemotherapy is in comparison with cemiplimab and chemotherapy as peri-operative therapy in participants with NSCLC. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: * What side effects may happen from taking the study drugs * How much of each study drug is in the blood at different times * Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drugs (which could make the drugs less effective or could lead to side effects) * How administering the study drugs might affect quality of life Read Less

This study is researching an investigational drug called fianlimab (also called REGN3767) with two other medications called cemiplimab and chemotherapy, individually called a "study drug" or collectively called "study drugs". 'Investigational' means that the study drug is not approved for use outside of this study by any Health Authority. Examples of chemotherapy drugs include the following: Paclitaxel plus carboplatin, and Pemetrexed plus cisplatin. The study is being conducted in patients who have advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim of the study is to see how effective the combination of fianlimab, cemiplimab, and chemotherapy is for treating advanced NSCLC, in comparison with cemiplimab and chemotherapy. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: * What side effects may happen from taking the study drugs * How much of each study drug is in your blood at different times * Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drugs (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects) * How administering the study drugs might improve your quality of life Read Less

This randomized phase II trial studies how well paclitaxel with or without cixutumumab works in treating patients with esophageal cancer or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, 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. Cixutumumab may kill cancer cells by blocking the action of a protein needed for cancer cell growth. Giving paclitaxel with or without cixutumumab may kill more tumor cells. Read Less

This is a Phase III, 2-arm, randomised, open-label, multicentre, global study assessing the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant Dato-DXd plus durvalumab followed by adjuvant durvalumab with or without chemotherapy compared with neoadjuvant pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy followed by adjuvant pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy in participants with previously untreated TNBC or hormone receptor-low/HER2-negative breast cancer.

Zolbetuximab is being studied as a treatment for people with pancreatic cancer. Most people with pancreatic cancer have a protein called Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2) in their tumor. Zolbetuximab is thought to work by attaching to CLDN 18.2 in their tumor. This switches on the body's immune system to attack the tumor. Zolbetuximab is a potential treatment for people with pancreatic cancer. There is an unmet medical need to treat people with pancreatic cancer. This study will help find the dose of zolbetuximab to be used with chemotherapy and provide more information on this treatment in adults with metastatic pancreatic cancer. The study is currently ongoing globally. People in this study will be treated with either zolbetuximab and chemotherapy or chemotherapy by itself. The study's main aims are to find a suitable dose of zolbetuximab to be used with chemotherapy in the second part of this study, to check if zolbetuximab and chemotherapy compared to chemotherapy by itself can improve the survival of people with pancreatic cancer, and to check the safety of zolbetuximab when given with chemotherapy and how well people cope with medical problems during the study. Adults with metastatic pancreatic cancer can take part. Their cancer is metastatic, has the CLDN18.2 marker in a tumor sample and has not previously been treated with chemotherapy. Metastatic means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. People cannot take part are if they have recently had radiotherapy and have not recovered, need to take medicines to suppress their immune system, have history of nervous system metastases from their pancreatic cancer, or they have other active cancers that need treatment. People who have a specific heart condition or infections also cannot take part. This study will be in 2 parts. Part 1 is called the Safety Lead-in Phase. Groups of people will receive 1 of 2 different doses of zolbetuximab: a lower dose or a higher dose, both together with chemotherapy. A medical expert panel will check the results and decide the dose to use in Part 2. Part 2 is called the Randomization Phase. People will be put in 1 of 2 groups by chance and will be given different treatments either zolbetuximab and chemotherapy or chemotherapy by itself. The chance of receiving zolbetuximab and chemotherapy is twice as high as receiving chemotherapy by itself. In both parts of the study, zolbetuximab and chemotherapy or chemotherapy by itself will be given through a vein. This is called an infusion. Each treatment cycle is 4 weeks (28 days) long and people will have either 2 infusions of zolbetuximab and 3 infusions of chemotherapy or 3 infusions of chemotherapy by itself during each treatment cycle. People will visit the clinic on certain days during their treatment. The study doctors will check for any medical problems from zolbetuximab. Also, people in the study will have a health check including blood tests. On some visits they will also have scans to check for any changes in their cancer. Tumor samples will be taken before treatment if a previous sample is not available. People will have the option of giving a tumor sample after treatment has finished. People will visit the clinic after they stop treatment. They will be asked about any medical problems and will have a health check including blood tests. The number of visits and checks done at each visit will depend on the health of each person and whether they completed their treatment or not. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib plus chemotherapy compared with pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy as first-line intervention in participants with metastatic esophageal carcinoma. The primary hypotheses are that pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib plus chemotherapy is superior to pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy with respect to overall survival (OS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) by blinded independent central review (BICR).

This phase III trial compares the effect of adding stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) to the usual treatment (conventional image guided radiation therapy \[IGRT\] and chemotherapy followed by immunotherapy with durvalumab or osimertinib) versus the usual treatment alone in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) and cannot be treated by surgery (inoperable). SBRT 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. IGRT is a type of radiation that uses a computer to create a picture of the tumor, to help guide the radiation beam during therapy, making it more accurate and causing less damage to healthy tissue. Usual chemotherapy used in this trial consists of combinations of the following drugs: cisplatin, carboplatin, paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, pemetrexed, and etoposide. Cisplatin and carboplatin are in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. Cisplatin works by killing, stopping, or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Carboplatin works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping, or slowing the growth of tumor cells as well. Paclitaxel is in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It works by stopping the growth and spread of tumor cells. Nab-paclitaxel is an albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation of paclitaxel which may have fewer side effects and work better than other forms of paclitaxel. Pemetrexed is in a class of medications called antifolate antineoplastic agents. It works by blocking the action of a certain substance in the body that may help tumor cells multiply. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) repair and may kill tumor cells. Immunotherapy with durvalumab, may induce changes in the body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Osimertinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of a protein called EGFR that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of tumor cells. Adding SBRT to the usual treatment of IGRT with chemotherapy and immunotherapy may be more effective at treating patients with locally-advanced non-small cell lung cancer than giving the usual treatment alone.
