Filter by:The primary objectives of this study is to compare the efficacy of paclitaxel monotherapy with irinotecan monotherapy as defined by progression-free survival (PFS), in all patients with recurrent and metastatic gastric cancer who progress following first line therapy.
This observational, multicenter study will assess the efficacy and safety of Herceptin (trastuzumab) in routine clinical practice in patients with HER2-positive advanced adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastro-esophageal junction. Data from patients will be collected for approximately 12 months.
This is Phase I, open-label and dose escalation study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of AZD1480(JAK2 inhibitor) in Asian patients with advanced solid tumors (Part A and C) and in patients with advanced HCC (Part B) in the escalation phase, EGFR or ROS mutant NSCLC and non-smokers with lung metastasis and gastric cancer in the expansion phase and to evaluate daily and BID dosing.
RATIONALE: Gathering information from patients who have undergone treatment for upper gastrointestinal cancer or gynecological cancer may help doctors learn more about patients' physical and psychosocial rehabilitation needs and plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the physical and psychosocial rehabilitation needs of patients after diagnosis and treatment of upper gastrointestinal cancer or gynecological cancer.
Patients with locally advanced resectable adenocarcinoma of the stomach or the esophagogastreal junction without previous therapy will be treated with one of two chemotherapy combinations before and after surgery. One half of the patients gets 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), Leucovorin, Oxaliplatin and Docetaxel (FLOT), the others Epirubicin, Cisplatin and 5-FU (ECF). Main objective of the study is median overall survival.
Tumors must be seen clearly on CT scan to be radiated completely and safely. Breathing causes tumors to move. If the tumor moves during breathing, it can look blurred on the CT scan. This makes it difficult to see on CT scan. The investigators wish to investigate whether a new computer method makes tumors less blurry and easier to see on CT scan. Cone-beam CT is a type of CT scanner attached to the radiation treatment machine that produces 3D images of the patient. Since your tumor can move because of your normal breathing, it is often blurry and difficult to see accurately in a standard cone-beam CT scan. The investigators intend to use a computer method which processes the cone-beam CT data in a way that reduces the blurring and makes the tumor easier to see.
RATIONALE: Placing a gene into T cells may improve the body's ability to recognize cancer cells and build an immune response to fight cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and fludarabine phosphate, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Biological therapies, such as aldesleukin, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Giving specially treated T cells together with cyclophosphamide, fludarabine phosphate, and aldesleukin may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I clinical trial is studying the side effects and best dose of treated T cells when given together with cyclophosphamide, fludarabine phosphate, and aldesleukin in treating patients with cancer.
This pilot phase II trial studies how well giving bevacizumab and combination chemotherapy together before surgery works in treating patients with locally advanced esophageal or stomach cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as leucovorin calcium, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving bevacizumab and combination chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving these treatments after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.
Evaluation of customized treatment according to BRCA1 assessment in patients with advanced gastric cancer
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of s-1 plus cisplatin versus 5-FU plus cisplatin as first-line therapy in the treatment of patients with advanced gastric cancer.
