Filter by:multicenter, open label, randomaized, phase III The role of post surgery adjuvant chemotherapy is becoming more and more important in AGC (advance gastric cancer). S-1 and combined therapy of Capecitabine and Oxaliplatin are currently accepted as a standard therapy among the AGC patients who were performed gastrectomy from the D2 surgery. However, many improvements will be needed in stage IIIB and IV. Combined chemotherapy of Docetaxel, Capecitabine, and Oxaliplatin may be considered as one of the best treatments for IIB and IV(M0) stage AGC patients who were performed gastrectomy.
40 eligible patients with confirmed esophageal or gastric adenocarcinoma and anemia will be randomized to a control or intervention group for management of this anemia. The control group treatment will consist of standard treatments as governed by the clinical team (eg oral iron, blood transfusions) whilst the intervention group will be treated with intravenous iron III isomaltoside (Monofer ®). It is hypothesized that intravenous iron supplementation is more efficacious than standard therapies.
multi-center, prospective, randomized, open-label phase III
Concurrent chemoradiotherapy has been demonstrated a significant improvement in overall survival and disease-free survival according to Intergroup Trial 0116 in patients with gastric cancer after surgical resection. However,there are still many patients experiencing local recurrence or distant metastasis after adjuvant chemotherapy and concurrent chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced gastric cancer after resection. The optimal and standard regimen for adjuvant treatment has not been established in locally advanced gastric cancer yet.The investigators designed the trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of docetaxel plus cisplatin regimen as adjuvant chemotherapy and concurrent chemoradiotherapy regimen compared with classical FOLFOX6 regimen as adjuvant chemotherapy and 5-FU/CF as chemoradiotherapy in patients of locally advanced gastric cancer after D2 radical resection.
To assess the predictive value of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) for recurrence of advanced gastric cancer after radical resection. To identify the relationship between the detection of circulation tumor cells and recurrence patterns of gastric cancer after radical resection.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and the effect of D2 and D2+ radical surgery for the treatment of advanced distal gastric cancer.
Patients with histologically confirmed gastric adenocarcinoma with locally advanced gastric cancer are randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy with DT45Gy/25f plus three cycles of XELOX therapy or neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone using XELOX regimen following D2 gastrectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy for 3 cycles. The primary end point is disease free survival (DFS), and secondary end point is 5-year overall survival (OS), pathological complete remission (pCR) and treatment safety.
This study aims to find out whether the effect of docetaxel chemotherapy may be improved by combining it with another anti-cancer drug called sunitinib, which stops blood vessels from growing (anti-angiogenic agent). Sunitinib is an oral anti-angiogenic drug that has been approved for the treatment of kidney cancer, a rare form of soft tissue tumor called gastrointestinal stromal tumor, and a rare form of cancer in the pancreas called pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. Sunitinib is usually given continuously at a dose of 37.5mg (3 pills) daily either alone or in combination with chemotherapy. However, there are studies which have shown that the continuous administration of sunitinib may reduce chemotherapy effectiveness. On the other hand, a short course of sunitinib before each chemotherapy cycle may sensitize the tumor to chemotherapy. This treatment strategy will be used in patients with different kinds of cancers with a commonly used chemotherapy drug, docetaxel. Ths study aims to evaluate if intermittent administration of low dose sunitinib before docetaxel chemotherapy can improve the treatment response in cancer patients. Study Hypothesis: Low dose, short course sunitinib at 12.5mg daily orally for 1 week prior to chemotherapy can normalize tumor vasculature and enhance delivery of chemotherapy into the tumor, and improve treatment response and progression-free survival.
To confirm the efficacy and safety of XELOX with capecitabine maintenance in treatment of elderly advanced gastric cancer (AGC) by comparing it with that of XELOX regimen.
To assess the activity of the FGFR inhibitor AZD4547 in patients with FGFR1 or FGFR2 amplified breast, squamous lung and stomach cancer whose cancers have progressed following previous chemotherapy
