Filter by:Open label, randomised, multicenter, superiority study for efficacy. Patients with histologically proven adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction without gross or microscopic evidence of residual disease after surgery with curative intent and fulfilling all the inclusion/exclusion criteria are eligible for this study.
They include patients who are candidates to complete concurrent treatment with endocavitary brachytherapy External radiation therapy + more QT based weekly cisplatin.
The primary goal of the trail was to determine the efficacy of combining Gemcitabine and Docetaxel in treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer with CHFR and/or Microsatellite Instability (MSI) phenotype.
Adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus and cardia are grouped among the thoracic tumors according to the TNM 7th ed., however controversy is pending on the unique or dual pathogenesis (GERD or gastric-like cancerogenesis). It has been shown that biological patterns differ according to the presence (+) or absence (-) of Barrett's epithelium (BIM) and gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) in the fundus and antrum. Lymphatic metastatic spreading may differ according to the type of tumor. The investigators retrospectively investigated the pathways of lymphatic spreading in 194 consecutive patients who received radical surgery for adenocarcinoma of the esophagus and cardia with or without BIM and GIM.
This is a phase I study incorporating bavituximab into the care of patients with rectal adenocarcinoma simultaneously treated with capecitabine and radiation therapy. There is no reference therapy as we are trying to identify the MTD of bavituximab in this combination.
The purpose of the trial is to assess the therapeutic effects and the safety profile of IMAB362 combined with EOX (epirubicin, oxaliplatin, capecitabine) as first-line treatment for patients with advanced adenocarcinoma of the stomach, the esophagus or the gastroesophageal junction compared to EOX alone. Furthermore, sufficient binding of IMAB362 to the target cells is necessary for antitumoral activity. Thus, two dose levels ensuring a serum level above the in vitro predicted clinical efficacy threshold will be investigated.
The objective of the present project is to validate the feasibility of a multimodal radiological pathway while on chemoradiotherapy, in order to validate potentially predictive factors for chemoradiotherapy sensitivity of rectal adenocarcinomas.
Acetic acid chromoendoscopy is an established standard technique used to detect dysplasia within the gastrointestinal tract. Acetic acid spray helps to identify neoplasia by highlighting the surface pattern, highlighting the vascular pattern and by a process known as the aceto-whitening reaction, where tissues take acetic acid and turn white for a brief period and then slowly revert back to a normal colour. The neoplastic surface and vascular pattern are all very well described, and have played a big role in the recognition of early cancer. The aceto-whitening reaction is well described but the differential in timing between neoplastic and non-neoplastic areas is not well understood. The investigators aim to establish the differential in the timing of the disappearance of the aceto-whitening reaction between healthy tissue, dysplastic tissue, intramucosal cancer and invasive cancer after acetic acid dye spray in the oesophagus and colon. By understanding this better, the investigators may be able to predict with greater accuracy whether a highlighted abnormal area is cancer or high grade dysplasia, or whether it is low grade dysplasia or inflammation, which has significant prognostic implications for the patient. The investigators hypothesize that the differential in the timing of the disappearance of the aceto-whitening reaction between normal and abnormal tissue could help in the detection of gastrointestinal neoplasia.
This pilot clinical trial studies cyclodextrin-based nanopharmaceutical CRLX101 in treating patients with advanced or metastatic stomach, gastroesophageal, or esophageal cancer that has progressed through at least one prior regimen of chemotherapy and cannot be removed by surgery. CRLX101 delivers the cytotoxic topoisomerase-1 inhibitor camptothecin into tumor cells and is hypothesized to interrupt the growth of tumor cells.
We propose a Phase I trial of Tivantinib plus FOLFOX for the treatment of patients with advanced solid tumors followed by a Phase II portion for patients with first-line metastatic GE cancer. We hypothesize that the response rate (RR) will be improved from 45% to at least 65% under this regimen.
