Filter by:The investigators hypothesize that aberrant hypermethylation of tumour suppressor genes is an important mechanism for Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) - related gastric carcinogenesis, the promoter hypermethylation status and the expression of S100A2 and TFF1 might be different between EBV-associated gastric cancer (GC) and non EBV-associated GC.
This is an open, non-randomized, multicenter Phase II study evaluating cisplatin plus TS-1 or oxaliplatin plus TS-1 as first-line therapy in predicted 'responder' to platinum and fluoropyrimidine. This study is planned in 3 centers in Singapore and Korea. A total of 30 subjects will be enrolled into each treatment arms. Each centers will recruit 15-25 subjects predicted to be 'responder' to platinum and fluoropyrimidine. The study will consist of a prescreening period, a screening period and a treatment period. A fresh tumour biopsy sample will be obtained during the prescreening period for gene expression profiling. As this is a genomics guided trial, obtaining tissue biopsies is vital to the conduct of the trial. Patients will have the primary in situ (requirement for entry into trial), endoscopic biopsy performed prior to 1st cycle.
Capecitabine is an oral fluoropyrimidine that has been shown to be effective in the treatment of metastatic gastric and colorectal cancer patients. On the basis of capecitabine-based chemotherapy which is accepted as a standard regimen in gastric cancer, we will perform the phase I/II study with all-oral regimen of RAD001 with capecitabine for these refractory gastric cancer patients.
Based on antitumor activity of statin, we designed a phase III study of capecitabine/CDDP chemotherapy plus a low-dose simvastatin that is equivalent to cardiovascular dose in advanced gastric cancer patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether S-1 and oxaliplatin as neoadjuvant chemotherapy may improve survival benefit compared with control.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the oncological feasibility of laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection for advanced gastric cancer.
A clinical trial to determine the effectiveness and safety of AUY922 compared to other drugs known to be effective against gastric cancer in second line therapy for patients who have failed one line of chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to test the utility of the nasogastric tube, which is used to decompress and as "guardian" of gastro-jejunal anastomosis, in patients undergoing distal subtotal gastrectomy for gastric cancer with reconstruction according to Billroth II or according Roux.
This will be a multi-center, open-label randomized phase 2 study designed to evaluate the progression free survival (PFS) of patients with advanced gastric cancer following treatment with either ARQ 197 or one of three standard regimens (investigator's choice). Patients with unresectable (locally advanced or metastatic) gastric carcinoma who have progressive neoplastic disease following treatment with a prior regimen consisting of at least two of the drugs 5-FU, cisplatin and docetaxel. The study will also evaluate other efficacy and safety parameters including overall response rate, overall survival and adverse events in the two treatment arms.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the quality of life (QOL) after Billroth-I reconstruction (B-I) following distal gastrectomy, compared with Roux-en Y reconstruction (R-Y) in patients with gastric cancer.
