Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Apatinib Mesylate Tablets combined with docetaxel and S-1 as the first-line treatment of metastatic gastric cancer.
This randomized pilot clinical trial studies health care coach support in reducing acute care use and cost in patients with cancer. Health care coach support may help cancer patients to make decisions about their care that matches what is important to them with symptom management.
This study is a phase Ib, open label, multi-centre trial designed to estimate the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of lithium when combined with a standard chemotherapy regimen of oxaliplatin and capecitabine in patients with advanced, unresectable, oesophago-gastric or colorectal cancer who have received no previous treatment for advanced disease (previous adjuvant or neo-adjuvant treatment is acceptable if completed at least 6 months prior to registration). The study follows a modified Fibonacci, 3+3, dose escalation design. Patients are enrolled in cohorts of 3. All three patients in each cohort must complete at least two cycles of treatment to be evaluable for toxicity. If a patient cannot complete 2 cycles, another patient will be enrolled.
Rationale: For patients with peritoneal metastases of gastric origin, there is no consensus on the optimal treatment strategy. Several Asian and Western studies demonstrated hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and cytoreductive surgery (CS) to result in a prolonged survival compared to palliative systemic treatment. Morbidity and mortality rates of HIPEC and CS appear to be acceptable. In the Netherlands, this treatment is not yet introduced, therefore patients with peritoneal metastases of gastric origin are precluded from surgery and will be treated with palliative chemotherapy or best support of care. Objective: To assess the safety and feasibility of HIPEC and CS in Western patients with peritoneal metastases of gastric cancer, in terms of morbidity and mortality. Secondary objective is to determine the effect on survival and recurrence. Study design: Mono centre prospective phase II single-arm feasibility study. Study population: Western patients diagnosed with resectable (cT1-4b, N1-3) gastric cancer with clinical or pathologically proven peritoneal metastases without distant metastases. Intervention: Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) and Cytoreductive Surgery (CS) with Cisplatin. Main study parameters/endpoints: Primary outcome is the safety and feasibility of the intervention, measured by the percentage of overall surgical complications grade ≥3 as stated by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. Secondary outcomes are intraoperative events, postoperative morbidity and mortality, postoperative recovery, including quality of life, and disease free- and overall survival. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: The additional burden for the patient mainly consists of HIPEC and CS.Furthermore, patients will undergo additional staging in order to exclude unresectable disease, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen (3 drugs) instead of a palliative chemotherapy regimen (2 drugs). Postoperative care and outpatient visits are performed according to current protocols on HIPEC and CS for colon cancer and nation-wide protocols on gastric cancer surgery. The study is associated with a high risk classification. As there is a potential survival benefit, a small chance for curation and possibly a higher quality of life, we consider the additional burden and risks justified. This study is designed as a one group study, which eliminates group relatedness.
This multicenter, randomized, double-blind study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of apatinib combined with paclitaxol versus placebo combined with paclitaxol in advanced gastric cancer or gastroesophageal junction carcinoma patients with peritoneal metastasis. Patients will be randomized to one treatment arm: Arm A: apatinib 500mg qd, Paclitaxol 80mg/m2, d1, d8, d15,every 4 weeks ; Arm B: placebo 500mg qd, Paclitaxol 80mg/m2, d1, d8, d15,every 4 weeks ; Tumor assessment will be done every 8 weeks according to RECIST 1.1. The primary endpoint is progression free survival (PFS).
This is an open label, multi-center, and randomized phase II trial designed to compare the safety and efficacy of direct oral anticoagulants and subcutaneous dalteparin in patients with acute venous thromboembolism and upper gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, or pancreatic cancer, based on a group sequential design. Enrolled patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio. Patients will be stratified by performance status, type of cancer, chemotherapy and medical centers.
A single-arm phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of docetaxel plus S-1 (DS) as second-line treatment in patients with AGC.
The investigators compared the perioperative, oncological, functional and immunological outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection against laparoscopic assisted gastrectomy for treatment of early gastric cancer. With virtually no abdominal incisions and minimal pain induced, endoscopic submucosal dissection is expected to be less invasive when compared to laparoscopic assisted gastrectomy for treatment of early gastric cancer. This study will show that endoscopic submucosal dissection is associated with a significantly better perioperative recovery and less immunological disturbance. Moreover, it will also induce a better long term outcomes as the stomach can be preserved, hence the digestive function is maintained to prevent long term functional morbidities of the gastrointestinal tract. This study will be the unique first study in the literature to show that intramucosal early gastric cancer can be adequately treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection with better perioperative, functional and quality of life outcomes when compared to laparoscopic assisted gastrectomy.

This protocol for Varlitinib is developed for the treatment of Gastric Cancer. Varlitinib (also known as ASLAN001) is a small-molecule, adenosine triphosphate competitive inhibitor of the tyrosine kinases - epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)2, and HER4. Varlitinib may be beneficial to subjects with cancer by simultaneous inhibition of these receptors. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of Varlitinib in combination with mFOLFOX6 for the treatment of Gastric Cancer. Treatment groups are Varlitinib+mFOLFOX6 and Placebo+mFOLFOX6.
