Clinical Trials Jorge J. Nieva is currently running
Tazemetostat + Topotecan + Pembrolizumab
for Small Cell Lung Cancer
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of tazemetostat in combination with topotecan and pembrolizumab in treating patients with small cell lung cancer that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Tazemetostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as topotecan, 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. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving tazemetostat in combination with topotecan and pembrolizumab may shrink or stabilize recurrent small cell lung cancer.

Pembrolizumab
for Leukoplakia
This trial studies how well pembrolizumab works in treating leukoplakia. Pembrolizumab helps the immune system fight cancer by blocking a protein that prevents immune cells from attacking cancer cells. The trial targets patients with leukoplakia, aiming to see if this medication can effectively treat this condition. Pembrolizumab is an immune checkpoint inhibitor that has been used in the treatment of various cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer, melanoma, and head and neck cancers.
