Filter by:Most digestive cancers show (over)expression of the tumour marker carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Therefore, interest in CEA-targeting tracers has increased over the past years. CEA-targeting tracers can be used for preoperative, intra-operative and postoperative imaging purposes. This study focusses on both preoperative and intraoperative multimodal imaging and image-guided surgery in patients with rectal cancer or pancreatic cancer.
This is an open-label, multi-center, single-arm clinical study. All patients received concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CRT) followed by 4 cycles of tislelizumab combined with CAPOX, then underwent clinical response assessment. Patients who achieved CR (cCR+ pCR confirmed by local resection of ncCR) continue tislelizumab combined with CAPOX for another 4 cycles and tislelizumab for 9 cycles, then Watch and Wait. Patients who did not achieved CR underwent total mesorectal excision (TME).
This is a randomized controlled trial that will be preceded by a safety trial focusing on the safety and efficacy of robotic telesurgery. The hypothesis is that robotic telesurgery has a non-inferior primary endpoint event rate to local laparoscopic surgery.
The Transanal Transection and Single-Stapled anastomosis (TTSS) technique may be a valid alternative to traditional double-stapled anastomosis for low rectal cancer surgery. This study aims to compare the postoperative and functional outcomes of patients receiving TTSS and traditional double-stapled anastomosis.
This is a single-arm, phase II clinical study aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of long-term concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with camrelizumab as a neoadjuvant therapy in the treatment of locally advanced/low rectal cancer requiring anus preservation.
Colorectal cancer is the 2nd and 3rd most common cancer in respectively women and men, of which about 40% is located in the rectum. The gold standard treatment for rectal cancer (RC) is a low anterior resection, combined with chemoradiotherapy. However, this treatment will negatively impact different aspects of bowel function and the patients' quality of life. These bowel symptoms often remain prevalent, even at 12 months after RC treatment. Most assessment tools are however not capable of capturing the full range or therapeutic-related evolution of these bowel symptoms. Consequently, the aim is to develop a validated bowel diary for diagnosing and evaluation of all bowel symptoms.
This research study is being conducted to improve the quality of care of participants who have a diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancer (anal, colon, rectal, esophageal, stomach, small bowel, appendix, pancreas, gall bladder, liver, neuroendocrine tumor of gastrointestinal origin). This study has 3 components as follows- 1. Ensuring appropriate biomarker testing and evidence-based care: Biomarkers are molecules in the tumor or blood that indicate normal or abnormal processes in participant's body and may indicate an underlying condition or disease. Various molecules, such as DNA (genes), proteins, or hormones, can serve as biomarkers since they all indicate something about participant's health. Biomarker testing can also help choose participant's treatment. Additionally, a tumor board will be conducted periodically to provide treatment recommendations to participant's treating physician. Participants will receive standard-of-care treatment if participant enroll in this study. Participant will not receive any experimental treatment. 2. Assistance with clinical trial enrollment. The study team will help participants enroll in a clinical trial appropriate for participant's condition. However, enrolling in a clinical trial is totally up to the participant. 3. Health literacy: The study team will provide information relevant to participant's diagnosis to enrich participant's understanding of participant's condition and treatment. Investigator will provide questionnaires to assess participant's understanding before and after participant's have been provided with educational/informational material appropriate for participant's diagnosis.
This is an Open, Single-arm, Multicenter, Prospective Phase II Study of Fuquinitinib Combined With Tegafur Gimeracil Oteracil in the Third-line Treatment of Patients With Advanced Metastatic CRC
This study is designed to characterize the safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity of MDX2001 in patients with advanced solid tumors.
The goal of this observational trial with a nested randomized controlled trial is to investigate a selective approach of defunctioning stoma in low anterior resection in rectal cancer patients. The primary outcome is a hybrid so-called textbook outcome; stoma-free survival at two years without major LARS, reflecting a functionally appropriate outcome after low anterior resection for rectal cancer. Secondary outcomes include anastomotic leakage, postoperative mortality, reinterventions, stoma-related complications, quality of life measures, LARS, and permanent stoma rate up to two years after index surgery.
