View clinical trials related to Adenocarcinoma of the Stomach.
Filter by:Open label, randomised, multicenter, superiority study for efficacy. Patients with histologically proven adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction without gross or microscopic evidence of residual disease after surgery with curative intent and fulfilling all the inclusion/exclusion criteria are eligible for this study.
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of erlotinib hydrochloride when given together with oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and radiation before surgery and alone after surgery in treating patients with locally advanced cancer of the esophagus and gastroesophageal junction. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving combination chemotherapy together with erlotinib hydrochloride and radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving erlotinib hydrochloride after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery
The purpose of this study is to determine the rate of complete pathological responses (percentage of patients with pCR referring to the total number of enrolled and eligible patients), as evaluated centrally by a reference pathologist.
This randomized phase II trial studies combination chemotherapy when given together with vismodegib to see how well it works compared with combination chemotherapy without vismodegib in treating patients with advanced stomach cancer or gastroesophageal junction cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin, leucovorin calcium, and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Vismodegib may stop the growth of stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. It is not yet known whether combination chemotherapy is more effective when given with or without vismodegib in treating stomach cancer and gastroesophageal junction cancer.
This phase II trial is studying how well saracatinib works in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. Saracatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This phase II trial is studying how well giving irinotecan together with cisplatin works in treating patients who are undergoing surgical resection for locally advanced cancer of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one chemotherapy drug and giving them before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed during surgery.
