Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability and overall response rate of trametinib when given in combination with erlotinib in patients with Stage IV or recurrent lung adenocarcinoma that cannot be treated with curative intent.
This study aims to elucidate the relationship between the microbiome, inflammation, and the microenvironment in Barrett's esophagus (BE) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), with the end goal of developing a non-endoscopic testing strategy based on pathogenic factors to identify patients at highest risk for EAC. To accomplish this the investigators will enroll 100 patients with known BE (50 with dysplasia or EAC) and 50 subjects without BE undergoing upper endoscopy. Prior to endoscopy each subject will undergo three minimally invasive potential screening and surveillance tests: saliva (oral microbiome), breath test (exhaled volatile organic compounds), and tethered capsule sponge sampling (methylated DNA markers). The study will evaluate these novel tests in combination with clinical and anthropometric factors to describe an optimal strategy for BE screening and monitoring.
The differences in patient's clinicopathological characteristic between high and low prevalence of gastric cancer region should be further examined to elucidate factors that associate with poor survival rate of patients with gastric cancer. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate characteristics of patients with gastric adenocarcinoma and factors associated with different outcome in Thailand and Japan to find a clue to improve patients' survival in low prevalence country such as Thailand. This is a retrospective cohort study. It was conducted at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Thailand and Osaka Medical Center for Cancer and Cardiovascular Disease, Japan. Eligible cases were selected by using standardized search protocols: formal computer searches of all patients seen at out-patient clinic and/or hospitalized for gastric cancer between 2010 and 2014.Two physicians, who were informed the definition of each variable, individually reviewed chart of patients.
To evaluate the concordance of sensitizing mutations detected between paired plasma and tissue samples; the correlation between the clonal status of sensitizing mutations and targeted therapy response; and the prognostic impact of the relative abundance of sensitizing / resistance mutations.
The purpose of this study is to compare the rates of adverse events between patients undergoing Endoscopic Ultrasound- guided biliary drainage and Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography for distal malignant biliary obstruction.
This study is a phase II, single arm, controlled, open label internal pilot.
There is no accepted standard therapy for patients with advanced gastric cancer who have progressed during or after second-line therapy. The role of 3rd line treatment in advanced gastric cancer has not been proven. As a novel target of gastric cancer, SMO overexpression is chosen in this study, and the investigators plan this study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vismodegib in gastric cancer. The doses of vismodegib are based on trials of basal cell carcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rivoceranib plus best supportive care (BSC) compared to placebo plus BSC in participants with advanced or metastatic gastric cancer (GC).
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, first-in-human (FIH) study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary antineoplastic activity of pralsetinib (BLU-667) administered orally in participants with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), RET-altered NSCLC and other RET-altered solid tumors.
This study will assess and compare the diagnostic performances and image quality of two WB 3D T1-weighted MR imaging sequences for bone and node staging in patients with prostate cancer : the FSE sequence and a gradient echo (GE) sequence. The latter sequence's main feature is its acquisition time of approximately 1.5 minutes, compared to 18 min for the FSE sequence, reducing the exam's acquisition time, patient discomfort and increasing machine availability.
