Filter by:It is reported that compared to chemotherapy alone, immunochemotherapy has significantly improved the overall survival of patients with advanced metastatic ESCC. However, there are still more than 30% of patients who cannot benefit from this treatment modality. In addition to these factors, the time-of-day infusion and administration sequence of immunochemotherapy have been reported to be associated with tumor responses and overall survival. In this study, The investigators aimed to explore the roles of infusion time and administration sequence of immunochemotherapy in predicting tumor responses and overall survival in patients with advanced ESCC.
Most ESCC received NAC in China without supportive evidence from local RCTs. The negative conclusion about NAC originated from Western countries in the 1990s. Whether two-field extensive mediastinal lymphadenectomy and paclitaxel/platinum-based chemotherapy results in better survival should be determined. As the highest ESCC incidence area worldwid, we tried to analyze this top with big data by using a single-center case-control retrospective PMS study. Paclitaxel- and platinum-based NAC combined with two-field of the extensive mediastinal lymphadenectomy might provide better survival benefits than primary esophagectomy for stage II/III SCC.
A multicenter Italian retrospective study on COVID-19 pandemic condition and advanced Gastro - Intestinal Cancer. Are in Italy increased the new diagnosis of GI cancer in advanced stage in the 2020 compared with 2019, as a consequence of COVID-19?
This is a multi-center, open-label, dose escalation study to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of QBS10072S in patients with advanced or metastatic cancers with high LAT1 expression. The MTD of QBS10072S will be confirmed in patients with relapsed or refractory grade 4 astrocytoma.
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness, of three hospitalized patient care strategies in relation to disease-related malnutrition (DRM) hospital admissions based on results such as length of stay of the index admission, and from admission until one year after admission, mortality rate, appearance of complications, changes in weight and nutritional state, changes in their health related quality of life and functional status, readmissions, use of health services resources (primary care, hospital and emergency consultations) and costs. Methodology: Intervention study involving three hospitals with three branches in which, after nutritional screening in all centers, the first branch / hospital includes a intervention strategy for nutritional improvement in patients who after screening are identified as having DRE or at risk of DRE, and follow-up of other patients; a second cohort / hospital will include similar patients in which if there is any nutritional intervention it will be carried out by demand of the medical staff in charge of the patient; and a third branch /hospital in which the usual practice of the center will be followed without any explicit intervention. Subjects of the study: At least 300 patients in each center admitted to the digestive services, due to digestive pathologies, and surgery services due to tumor and digestive system pathologies. In all patients, sociodemographic and clinical data will be collected and of the outcomes described above during admission and until the year of follow-up. Statistical analysis: through appropriate multiple regression models for each outcome variable and with adjustments through propensity scores to compare the three centers based on each outcome parameter. A cost-effectiveness analysis will be carried out through of the incremental cost for each year of quality-adjusted life (QALY) .
The purpose of the study is to test 18F-BMS-986229 positron emission tomography (PET) imaging a practical and safe way to check the status of esophageal, stomach, and gastroesophageal junction cancer.
This study aims to assess the 6- and 12-month venous thromboembolism (VTE) and bleeding incidence from the start of cancer diagnosis in a retrospective cohort of patients with esophageal cancer. Additionally, the predictive value of the Khorana score and several other VTE and bleeding prediction scores and risk factors will be evaluated.
New tools are needed to 1) diagnose and 2) stage early esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in order to improve outcomes of this frequent and lethal cancer. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an optical technique, which can image human tissue ex vivo and in vivo with a resolution around 30µm and with a depth of 1mm. Full-field optical coherence tomography (FFOCT) is a new modality, which allows to image an ex vivo specimen with a cellular resolution and to perform 3D reconstruction. This device has never been tested on esophageal specimens. Therefore, the aim of this non-interventional research is 1) to determine FFOCT diagnostic criteria for SCC and 2) to figure if FFOCT allows the staging of the depth of invasion in SCC. To achieve these goals, we will image ex vivo 10 specimens of endoscopic resection of SCC (endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and submucosal dissection (ESD)) using an FFOCT device and we will compare the results with histological analysis of these specimens.
This study will be conducted in two stages: 1) safety validation and 2) dose expansion 1. Safety Validation Cohort: The first portion of the study will preliminarily establish the tolerability of the combination of pembrolizumab, oxaliplatin and capecitabine. Five (5) subjects will be enrolled and their safety data after 21 days of treatment will be reviewed before additional subjects are enrolled. Subjects on this portion of the study will only be enrolled at the Duke Cancer Institute. 2. Dose Expansion Cohort: The second portion of the study (ie. phase II) will enroll 30 subjects. In the dose expansion cohort, the first cycle will be modified to allow one week of pembrolizumab monotherapy before starting capecitabine and oxaliplatin (XELOX) chemotherapy, which will allow analysis of biomarkers related to pembrolizumab. Subjects on this portion of the study will be enrolled at the Duke Cancer institute and select external collaborating institutions. The primary objective of this trial is to describe the progression free survival (PFS) associated with the combination of pembrolizumab, oxaliplatin and capecitabine (pembrolizumab +XELOX) in all patients with previously untreated metastatic esophagogastric adenocarcinoma.
Hypoxia is the most common adverse events during sedated gastroscopy. In present study, high-flow nasal cannula oxygenation will be utilized in order to reduce the hypoxia. At the same time the feasibility and safety will be evaluated.
