Clinical Trials Patrick Grierson is currently running
Nivolumab + Standard Treatment
for Stomach and Esophageal Cancer
This phase II/III trial compares the addition of nivolumab to the usual treatment of paclitaxel and ramucirumab to paclitaxel and ramucirumab alone in treating patients with gastric or esophageal adenocarcinoma that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Ramucirumab is a monoclonal antibody that may prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. Paclitaxel is in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It stops cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Adding nivolumab to ramucirumab and paclitaxel may work better to treat patients with advanced stomach or esophageal cancer.

Cabozantinib
for Neuroendocrine Cancer
High grade neuroendocrine neoplasm patients are treated with platinum doublets such as carboplatin and etoposide mimicking the current guidelines for small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Unfortunately, recurrences are common and most patients with metastatic disease succumb to it within a year. There is no extensive literature or consensus on second- or third-line options (which include FOLFOX, FOLFIRI, capecitabine and temozolomide, taxanes or immunotherapy) and there is urgent need for better regimens.
