Filter by:The investigators hypothesize that this combination regimen of irinotecan plus ramucirumab administered as second line treatment will be tolerated and lead to improved outcomes similar to paclitaxel plus ramucirumab in patients with advanced gastric and gastro-esophageal junction (GEJ) cancers. This study proposes a phase II clinical trial with irinotecan plus ramucirumab for treatment of patients with metastatic gastric and GEJ adenocarcinoma who have progressed after first line chemotherapy. To the knowledge of the investigators, this regimen has not been previously administered to this patient population, so safety and tolerability will be monitored and reported.
Small growths detected in the colon (polyps) during a colonoscopy may or may not have the potential to develop into cancer. However, since visual inspection alone cannot separate all potentially harmful polyps from harmless ones, the standard approach is to remove them all for histological lab examination, exposing patients to risk of injury and putting a significant demand on hospital resources. An accurate method of determining polyp type during endoscopy would enable the clinician to only remove potentially harmful polyps. A new endoscopic optical imaging probe (OPTIC), which analyses how light interacts with tissue, is proposed to do this. The probe is contained within a normal endoscope and uses white light and blue/violet laser light to illuminate the tissue. The reflected and fluorescent light emitted, along with normal colour pictures of the polyp surface, are measured and recorded to quantify specific characteristics of each type. Optical measurements of polyps detected in endoscopy clinics at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust will be analysed to determine if the signal can be used to differentiate different polyp types.
The aim of this adaptive Phase 3 trial is to show a statistically significant superiority of EndoTAG-1 in combination with gemcitabine compared to gemcitabine monotherapy in patients with locally advanced/metastatic pancreatic cancer after FOLFIRINOX failure.
This phase II trial studies how well gallium Ga 68-labeled gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) antagonist BAY86-7548 (68Ga-RM2) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) works in detecting regional nodal and distant metastases in patients with intermediate or high-risk prostate cancer. 68Ga-RM2 PET/CT scan may be able to see smaller tumors than the standard of care CT or magnetic resonance imaging scan.
This phase II trial studies how well cobimetinib and atezolizumab work in treating participants with rare tumors that have spread to other places in the body (advanced) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Cobimetinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving cobimetinib and atezolizumab may work better in treating participants with advanced or refractory rare tumors.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the use of irreversible electroporation in the treatment of locally advanced cancers of the head of pancreas with vascular spread. This technique would allow to treat the unresectable part of the tumor to make it more accessible for a secondary surgery.
This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of Hsp90 inhibitor XL888 when given together with pembrolizumab in treating patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancer that has spread to other places in the body. XL888 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may block tumor growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Giving XL888 with pembrolizumab may work better in treating patients with gastrointestinal cancer.
This is a single-arm clinical trial.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Raltitrexed and Paclitaxel as second-line chemotherapy for patients with unresectable or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma .The primary endpoint of this study is objective response rate.The secondary endpoint of this study is safety,progression-free survival and overall survival.
Open-label, dose-escalating, Phase IIa trial of NanoPac® to treat subjects with locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma via direct intratumoral injection.
Open-label, dose rising, Phase IIa trial of intratumorally-injected NanoPac® 6, 10, or 15 mg/mL in subjects with prostate cancer scheduled for prostatectomy.
