Clinical Trials Monika Joshi is currently running
Durvalumab + Chemotherapy
for Urothelial Carcinoma
This phase II/III trial compares the effect of adding durvalumab to chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone before surgery in treating patients with upper urinary tract cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, cisplatin, and gemcitabine 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. Durvalumab in combination with chemotherapy before surgery may enhance the shrinking of the tumor compared to chemotherapy alone.

This trial is testing a herbal supplement from Angelica gigas Nakai root in prostate cancer patients with recurrent disease. The goal is to see how the body processes and reacts to the supplement, potentially delaying or avoiding further hormonal therapy. Angelica gigas Nakai root has been used in traditional medicine in Korea and has shown various bioactivities, including anticancer properties.
