Filter by:The aim of our study was to demonstrate the efficacy and feasibility of the medical consortium for screening upper gastrointestinal cancers with magnetically controlled capsule gastroscopy.
The goal of this research study is to evaluate a program that involves remote electronic monitoring of vital signs and symptoms of patients with gastrointestinal cancer who were recently hospitalized at Massachusetts General Hospital or presented to the oncology clinic for an unplanned, urgent visit.
This trial tests telephone-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a type of psychotherapy, to reduce fatigue interference with activities, mood, and cognition in advanced gastrointestinal (GI) cancer patients and family caregiver burden. ACT includes mindfulness exercises (e.g., meditations, performing activities with greater awareness), identifying personal values (e.g., family, spirituality), and engaging in activities consistent with these values. A total of 40 patient-caregiver dyads were randomly assigned in equal numbers to either the ACT intervention or an education/support condition. Dyads in both conditions participated in six weekly 50-minute telephone sessions. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, 2 weeks post-intervention, and 3 months post-intervention. The investigators hypothesize that ACT will lead to improved primary and secondary outcomes as compared to education/support. Study findings will inform a large-scale trial of intervention efficacy.
The investigators hypothesize that an early assessment of the clinical toxicity of the patient is possible via patient reported outcomes and that this information provides at least the same information level as the clinical examination of the patient made by the doctor. The early decision to prepare chemotherapy medications based on the indirect early collection of clinical information from the patient via a patient reported outcome should help minimize the number of chemotherapy medications destroyed.
The investigators are developing a novel standardized and centralized approach named Integrated Personalized Functional Profiling (PFP) in Luxembourg. Based on recent improvements in cancer biopsy-derived 3D-culture technologies the PFP process will screen patient derived cells (PDCs) with FDA/EMA-approved drugs to generate personalized functional response profiles. The selected drug through PFP technology will provide personalized treatment recommendation for the patient. This pilot study will evaluate the clinical feasibility of setting-up an effective workflow as a first step. Outcomes from this study will be used subsequently to help plan the clinical validation of the implementation of PFP.
Creation of a collection of blood samples that will be collected before and then under treatment in patients with digestive adenocarcinoma during the 1st and 2nd metastatic line and which, depending on scientific progress, can be used for research projects aimed at developing tailored patient management strategies.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of domestic injection paclitaxel (albumin binding type) in patients with advanced digestive tract tumors,and to further explore the possible predictors of efficacy.In order to provide more effective chemotherapeutic drugs, prolong survival time and improve quality of life for patients with advanced digestive tract tumors.
This pilot clinical trial studies how well ultrasound works in detecting oxaliplatin-induced neuropathy in patients with gastrointestinal cancer. Ultrasound may work better in diagnosing and detecting neuropathy in gastrointestinal cancer patients treated with the chemotherapy drug called a oxaliplatin.
This is a multicenter, global, Phase 2, open-label, 2-part, first-line study to investigate the safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity of ZW25 (zanidatamab) plus standard first-line combination chemotherapy regimens for selected gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. Eligible patients include those with unresectable, locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic HER2-expressing gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA), biliary tract cancer (BTC), or colorectal cancer (CRC).
To study the sensitivity and specificity of NGS in detecting Microsatellite State in blood and to evaluate its potential application in gastrointestinal cancer.
