The purpose of the Phase 1/2a study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SNK01 in combination with trastuzumab or cetuximab in order to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), and the preliminary efficacy for each combination regimen.
The use of nasal high flow in patients undergoing oesophagectomy is a novel technique that has not been previously studied. Nasal high flow will be delivered postoperatively to patients undergoing oesophagectomy in a tertiary cancer referral centre. This single-centre cohort study will evaluate the safety of using nasal high flow in oesophagectomy patients. Physiological parameters, adverse events and clinical outcome will be recorded in consecutive patients undergoing oesophagogastric surgery. This study will challenge the hypothesis that the use of nasal high-flow will lower the rates of breathing complications such as pneumonia thereby reducing the demands on intensive care, shortening hospital stay and improving patient quality of life. The results will inform the design of a larger multicentre clinical trial comparing nasal high flow to conventional methods by facilitating sample size calculation.
This phase III trial studies nutritional supplementation with Impact Advanced Recovery to see how well it works compared with standard nutritional supplementation in reducing complications in patients with esophageal cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) who are undergoing chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and/or surgery. Impact Advanced Recovery may help to reduce the number of surgical complications, reduce toxicity, improve nutritional status before surgery, and reduce morbidity after surgery in patients with esophageal cancer.
Patients with esophageal cancer that had locally advanced diseases or with unresectable diseases are being asked to participate in this phase I/II study. This phase I/II study is being conducted to determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), and efficacy of IMRT combined with S-1 and Oxaliplatin (SOX) based chemotherapy for unresectable locally advanced esophageal cancer.
The purpose of this Chinese extension study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab plus cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) chemotherapy versus placebo plus cisplatin and 5-FU chemotherapy as first-line treatment in a Chinese cohort of participants with locally advanced or metastatic esophageal carcinoma. The primary efficacy hypotheses are that both progression-free survival (PFS), according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 and determined by blinded independent central review, and overall survival (OS) are superior with pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy compared with placebo plus chemotherapy in all Chinese participants as well as Chinese participants whose tumors are programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-positive.
A study of second-line treatment of postoperative recurrence and metastasis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after chemotherapy with apatinib mesylate
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of MM-398 and ramucirumab in treating patients with gastric cancer or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. MM-398 contains a chemotherapy drug called irinotecan, which in its active form interrupts cell reproduction. MM-398 builds irinotecan into a container called a liposome which may be able to release the medicine slowly over time to reduce side effects and increase its ability to kill tumor cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ramucirumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving MM-398 and ramucirumab together may work better in treating patients with gastric cancer or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.
ARTemIS-Eso is a phase I-II, three-level, open-label trial with a dose-expansion cohort at recommended schedule in both esophageal cancer histological groups (squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma) of RCT and ImT administered prior to surgery.
This study will evaluate if proton beam therapy as part of chemoradiation results in a decrease in diffusion lung capacity of carbon monoxide (DLCO) compared to photon radiation therapy for esophageal carcinoma. A secondary objective is to determine effects on cardiac function, quality of life, and compare acute and late toxicities.
