Treatment Groups
This trial involves 2 different treatments. KN046 is the primary treatment being studied. Participants will all receive the same treatment. There is no placebo group. The treatments being tested are in Phase 2 and have already been tested with other people.
Eligibility
This trial is for patients born any sex aged 18 and older. There are 10 eligibility criteria to participate in this trial as listed below.
Approximate Timelines
Measurement Requirements
This trial is evaluating whether KN046 will improve 1 primary outcome and 5 secondary outcomes in patients with Carcinoma. Measurement will happen over the course of From baseline to death due to underlying cancer (on average 30 months).
Patient Q & A Section
Can carcinoma be cured?
The majority of patients will experience disease progression within 2 years of diagnosis. Prospective studies should evaluate the impact of specific treatments on the long-term prognosis.
How quickly does carcinoma spread?
The primary tumor of carcinoma is not always the first site of metastatic dissemination. In addition, even when it is the first site of metastatic dissemination, the lung may be the only organ that presents metastases.
What is the survival rate for carcinoma?
For lung and brain, the 5 year survival rate for carcinomas was 27%. The 5 year survival rate for bone was 39%, and that for colon was 35%. For breast carcinoma, the 5 year survival rate was 23%. These data show that the survival rate for carcinomas varies according to the primary site of origin.
What is the primary cause of carcinoma?
Recent findings suggest that there is a strong association between alcohol consumption and the development of adenocarcinoma with high-grade dysplasia, but no association between alcohol consumption and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma or adenosquamous carcinoma. Recent findings support the hypothesis that intestinal metaplasia precedes adenocarcinoma.
What is the average age someone gets carcinoma?
It has been estimated that carcinoma occurs at a rate of one per 100,000 people each year. The average age of diagnosis for carcinoma is 70.6 years.
Does carcinoma run in families?
Results from a recent clinical trial suggests that there is no evidence for an excess of cancer in families with more than one first degree relative with the disease. Atypical colorectal adenomas were significantly associated with family history of colon cancer. However we found no significant association between familial [prostate cancer](https://www.withpower.com/clinical-trials/prostate-cancer)s and prostate specific antigen serum levels.
What causes carcinoma?
There are many different factors that contribute to the development of carcinoma, including genetic predisposition, environmental exposures, and other unknown causes. The most common cancers are lung, breast, colon, prostate, and stomach. Lung cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for about 15% of deaths. Breast cancer is the third leading cause of death in the United States, with more than 5,000 deaths per year. In addition to being the third leading cause of death, breast cancer accounts for 20% of all cases of cancer diagnosed in the United States. Colon cancer is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States, with about 6,500 deaths per year.
What does kn046 usually treat?
Most patients who received the KN046 regimen did so for pain control. The lack of evidence regarding its effectiveness for any other indications suggests that this drug may be underused.
How many people get carcinoma a year in the United States?
The current data suggest that the incidence of carcinoma in the United States for men is increasing, but this rate may be changing because of earlier detection of early-stage cancers. For women, there appears to be no change in rates of carcinoma over time.
What are common treatments for carcinoma?
Patients with carcinoma will receive different treatments depending on their stage of the disease, overall health, and personal preferences. Although supportive care is often offered with metastatic cancer, there is still much research needed to develop effective anti-tumor therapies.
Have there been any new discoveries for treating carcinoma?
There have been numerous advances in understanding the biology of cancers and it is probable that many will continue to make significant contributions over the next few decades. New treatments have now become more available and some show promise. One example is targeting the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which has been shown to be an important mediator of tumour invasion and angiogenesis. VEGF inhibitors such as bevacizumab (Avastin; Bayer AG) have been used successfully in combination with other agents in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer.
