Filter by:The objective of the study is to constrcut a noninvasive approach 124I-18B10(10L) PET/CT to detect the CLDN18.2 expression of tumor lesions in patients with gastrointestinal tumors and to identify patients benefiting from CLDN18.2 targeting treatment.
The purpose of this research is to understand how screening for patient resource needs followed by customized resource matching can improve outcomes for adults with breast, lung or gastrointestinal cancer.
The main purpose of the study is to investigate whether a tailor-made nutritional and exercise program including home-based sessions and regular monitoring using an application on the smartphone is effective in improving Quality of Life in patients with advanced lung or gastrointestinal tract cancer.
Background: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) removes tumors in the abdomen. HIPEC is heated chemotherapy that washes the abdomen. CRS and HIPEC may help people with peritoneal carcinomatosis. These are tumors that have spread to the lining of the abdomen from other cancers. Researchers think they can improve results of CRS and HIPEC by choosing the chemotherapy drugs used in HIPEC. Objective: To see if HIPEC after CRS can be improved, by testing different chemotherapy drugs, using a model called the SMART (Sample Microenvironment of Resected Metastatic Tumor) System. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older who have peritoneal carcinomatosis that cannot be fully removed safely with surgery. Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood and urine tests Computed tomography (CAT) scan Other imaging scans, as needed Electrocardiogram (EKG) Tumor biopsy, if needed Laparoscopy. Small cuts will be made in the abdomen. A tube with a light and a camera will be used to see their organs. Some screening tests will be repeated in the study. Participants will enroll in NIH protocol #13C0176. This allows their tumor samples to be used in future research. Participants will have CRS. As many of their visible tumors will be removed as possible. They will also have HIPEC. Two thin tubes will be put in their abdomen. They will get chemotherapy through one tube. It will be drained out through the other tube. They will be in the hospital for 7-21 days after surgery. Participants will give tumor, blood, and fluid samples for research. They will complete surveys about their health and quality of life. Participants will have follow-up visits over 5 years.
A single-arm prospective observational translational study of biomarkers in patients receiving targeted treatment for rare subtypes of cancer of the Gastrointestinal Tract.
The primary aim of this study is to collect clinical data on the performance of MonoPlus® suture applied in routine clinical practice. Diverse parameters are to be used to assess the safety and efficacy of MonoPlus® suture for gastrointestinal anastomosis construction. This study has been designed to implement an action within the framework of a proactive Post Market Clinical Follow up (PMCF) activity.
The main purpose of this research study is to determine if exercise improve or worsen cachexia.
The discovery of cell-free circulating tumor DNA (crDNA) in blood and the maturation of technologies for ctDNA analysis have presented an attractive opportunity for minimally invasive "liquid biopsy" genomic diagnostics. The investigators plan to perform EUS-guided portal vein and hepatic vein aspiration in GI cancers patients. The aim of the current study is thus to examine the concentration of ctDNA in portal vein (EUS-guided PVA), hepatic vein (EUS-guided HVA) and peripheral blood to understand the first pass effect of the liver with gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, and the possibility of using ctDNA as a marker for preoperative staging, restaging after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and monitoring for recurrence.
Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells (CART) Therapy in GUYC2C postive Digestive system tumors, include colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, adenocarcinoma of esophagus, cancer of the esophagogastric junction. Ict-gc is an open, single-center study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CAR-T-targeted therapy in patients with advanced gastrointestinal tumors.
This study assesses the feasibility of SGM-101, a fluorochrome-labeled anti-carcinoembryonic antigen monoclonal antibody, for intraoperative near-infrared fluorescence imaging of colorectal brain metastases by injecting SGM-101 intravenously 3 - 5 days prior to surgery.
