Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether ASLAN001 has an effect in patients with recurrent or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the stomach, gastrooesophageal junction, or lower third of the oesophagus whose tumours over-express HER-1 and HER-2, or whose tumours are HER-2 gene-amplified. Maximum of 26 patients will participate in South Korea and the patients will be assigned to either group A or group B according to the results of tests done on tumor tissue obtained by biopsy to determine HER-1 and HER-2 status.
This randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of onartuzumab (MetMAb) in combination with mFOLFOX6 in patients with metastatic HER2-negative adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either onartuzumab (MetMAb) or placebo in combination with mFOLFOX6. Patients may continue to receive onartuzumab (MetMAb) or placebo until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, patient or physician decision to discontinue treatment.
After treatment women surviving gynaecological cancer may experience lateeffects and longterm challenges specific to their disease and treatment resulting in functional deficits and a reduction in societal integration (Yabroff et al., 2004, Yadav, 2007). The available research on best models of posttreatment rehabilitation support for women posttreatment for gynaecological cancer is limited. The primary objective of this study is to determine if there is any additional benefit, over usual rehabilitation care, of additional rehabilitation appointments to develop a survivorship care plan on cancer specific health related quality of life. Secondary objectives are to determine any additional benefit to general selfefficacy, generic health related quality of life or social and health economics for patients who have completed treatment for stage I or II gynaecological cancer. Also to explore the patient's perspectives of the intervention. The study will be open to patients attending the outpatient gynaecological clinics of the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust having recently completed treatment for Stage I or II gynaecological cancer. They will report that they have experienced a physical or psychosocial need resulting from the disease or its treatment; be aged over 18 years and be willing and able to articulate their needs. The study will last for six months for each participant. It will involve completing questionnaires and attending two extra rehabilitation appointments to develop a survivorship care plan at the hospital may also include attending for an interview about being involved in the study for those randomised to the intervention group
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum dose of LDE225 and BKM120 that can be safely given together to patients and/or the dose that will be used in future studies. This study will also learn more about how the combination of these two investigational drugs may work for patients with certain cancers (specifically metastatic breast cancer, advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma, metastatic colorectal cancer and recurrent glioblastoma multiforme).
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good or bad, the combination of standard chemotherapy agent paclitaxel with the investigational (experimental) drug afatinib that targets HER2, has on HER2-positive esophagogastric cancer that started to get bigger despite previous treatment with trastuzumab. The doctors will also study the tumor to understand why it grew while on trastuzumab treatment and to see the effects afatinib and paclitaxel has on the tumor.
There is evidence that gastrointestinal operations for non weight-losing purposes are beneficial for diabetes mellitus. Aiming to analyze such hypothesis, patients submitted to gastric bypass for morbid obesity, gastrectomy for gastric cancer and colectomy for colo-rectal cancer will be compared. The end point will be changes in fasting blood glucose and hemoglobin A1c concentration.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of chemotherapy, consisting of docetaxel, cisplatin and capecitabine given prior to surgery for stomach cancer. Furthermore, an extended type of removal of lymph nodes will be implemented.
Stage I：Neoadjuvant therapy - Tegafur，Gimeracil and Oteracil Potassium Capsules plus oxaliplatin is superior to surgery alone;Capecitabine plus oxaliplatin is non-inferiority to Tegafur，Gimeracil and Oteracil Potassium Capsules plus oxaliplatin Stage II: Perioperative therapy - Perioperative Tegafur，Gimeracil and Oteracil Potassium Capsules plus oxaliplatin is superior to adjuvant Tegafur，Gimeracil and Oteracil Potassium Capsules plus oxaliplatin alone;Capecitabine plus oxaliplatin regimen is noninferiority to Tegafur,Gimeracil and Oteracil Potassium Capsules plus oxaliplatin - A regimen of Tegafur，Gimeracil and Oteracil Potassium Capsules plus oxaliplatin(SOX) and Capecitabine plus oxaliplatin(XELOX) improves survival among patients with incurable locally advanced or metastatic gastric cancer. The investigators assessed whether the addition of a perioperative regimen of SOX or XELOX regimen to adjuvant alone improves R0 resection rate and survival among patients with curable locally advanced gastric cancer.
Primary Objective: - To compare the 3-year progression free survival (PFS) in the two treatment arms. Secondary Objectives: - Overall survival (OS). - Postoperative pathological stage and R0 (complete) resection rate. - Safety: Toxicities associated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, surgery, morbidity/mortality, toxicity of adjuvant chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine dose limiting toxicities (DLT) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of RAD001, as well as to assess tumor response and overall survival.
