Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) or fluciclovine positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) site-directed therapy works for treating patients with prostate cancer. PSMA or fluciclovine PET/CT may detect prostate cancer early and may help to show whether patients benefit from site directed treatment to PET detected abnormalities.
This study is a single center, phase II study, to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of PD-1 Antibody(SHR-1210) Plus apatinib Combined With POF(paclitaxel plus oxaliplatin plus 5-fluorouracil plus leucovorin) , in the first-line treatment for patients with advanced/metastatic gastric cancer.
This phase I/II trial studies the safety, side effects and best dose of M3814 and to see how well it works when given together with radiation therapy in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery and has not spread to other parts of the body (localized). M3814 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects. Giving M3814 and hypofractionated radiation therapy together may be safe, tolerable and more effective than radiation therapy alone in treating patients with localized pancreatic cancer.
A phase 1, open-label, dose escalation and expansion study of PF-07062119 in patients with selected advanced or metastatic gastrointestinal tumors
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAC) incidence increases regularly in Western countries and it is expected to become the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality in 2020. The prognosis of this disease remains very poor with an overall 5-year survival rate less than 5%. The FOLFIRINOX regimen (5-fluorouracil [5-FU], folinic acid, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin) and the combination of nab-paclitaxel with gemcitabine demonstrated to be more effective than gemcitabine alone, and are both validated as standard first-line treatment options for metastatic PAC. However, the use of FOLFIRINOX is limited to patients with ECOG performance status (PS) 0-1 and aged less than 75 years. Nab-paclitaxel is currently not reimbursed in France.
This study is one of Eastern Cooperative Thoracic Oncology Projects (ECTOP-1008). It aims to evaluate the correlation between radiological diagnosis based on HRCT and pathological invasiveness.Investigators observe the radiological features and the correlation with the postoperative pathological findings.
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains one of the most aggressive tumors with a poor prognosis. Despite advancements in the multimodal approach, surgical resection still represents the only potentially curative treatment. However, more than 80% of patients are diagnosed at a non-resectable stage. Local ablative techniques are therefore emerging as complementary treatments in the multimodal strategy for un-resectable non-metastatic disease. Although radio frequency ablation (RFA) is already well established in other clinical settings, its role in the treatment of pancreatic lesions is still under evaluation. Several animal studies and small human clinical series are assessing the feasibility and safety of different RFA systems and settings to limit adverse events due to thermic damage, acute pancreatitis, stomach and duodenal transmural burns, perforations, and bleeding. By now, three studies evaluated the feasibility and safety of EUS RFA in patients with locally advanced and metastatic PDAC showing that it is feasible and safe, However, the exact role of EUS-RFA in PDAC management must be further assessed. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) by obtaining the tumour ablation in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. The secondary aim is to evaluate the safety of this procedure and its effect on symptoms. Inclusion criteria: Patients with a cyto/histological diagnosis of PDAC, which was non-resectable and had no metastases after first line chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy; a solid pancreatic lesion that was resectable but not suitable for surgery due to the patient's comorbidities. Patients enrolled will have a blood examination (including Carbohydrate Antigen 19.9) and a contrast-enhanced CT scan no more than 7 days before the procedure. Patients will be administered a questionnaire about demographic features, symptoms, quality of life and drugs used. Tumours features and the type of chemotherapy protocol will also be recorded. EUS-RFA will be performed with the patients placed on the le lateral position under deep sedation, employing a linear-array echoendoscope. An 19-gauge EUSRA electrode needle connected to a radiofrequency generator (VIVA RF generator; "STARmed", Seoul, S. Korea) will be used in all patients. The procedure will be considered feasible if it will be possible to insert the electrode into the targeted point and to apply the radiofrequency energy for a sufficient time. All procedures will be started with a preset radiofrequency power of 30 Watt. If necessary, the procedure will be repeated by reinserting the needle in another part of the lesion until obtaining the largest possible ablation of the tumour.The radiofrequency power, duration of the ablation, the number of passages of the electrode necessary to obtain the ablation will be recorded. Clinical evaluation and laboratory tests (complete blood count, liver function tests, and serum amylase/lipase levels) will be performed at 24 h after the procedure. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) scan will be performed one day and one month after the procedure to check the treatment outcome and exclude early and late adverse events. Technical success will be defined by achieving tumour ablation defined by the presence of a hypodense area inside the tumour detectable at CECT scan. The volume of the ablated area (and its percentage in respect to the original tumour volume) will be calculated.
This is a phase 2 single-arm, open-label clinical trial determining efficacy of cabozantinib in combination with pembrolizumab in subjects with advanced gastric and gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. These are subjects who have progressed, or not tolerated, at least one prior line of chemotherapy with a fluoropyrimidine and platinum agent.
Gastric cancer is a global health issue as the world's fifth most common malignancy and third leading cause of cancer mortality, respectively. Preoperative radiation therapy may improve overall survival (OS) but is seldom used. There is precedent for preoperative chemoradiation, as it is the standard of care for esophageal and gastroesophageal junction tumors. However, reluctance of physicians to prescribe preoperative radiation therapy in gastric cancer may be due to the large treatment fields necessary to account for stomach motion. Adaptive radiation therapy may permit decreased field sizes and more accurate dose delivery. In traditional CT based radiation delivery the same radiation plan is delivered each day without assessment of inter-fraction or intra-fraction motion. Adaptive radiation therapy permits the physician to contour the unique anatomy daily to generate a new plan to account for day to day organ motion. Real-time MR imaging is also used during the treatment so that radiation is only delivered when the tumor is within the pre-specified target area. Thus, adaptive radiation therapy may overcome traditional barriers of radiation delivery in gastric cancer and improve oncologic outcomes.
The purpose of the study is to test 18F-BMS-986229 positron emission tomography (PET) imaging a practical and safe way to check the status of esophageal, stomach, and gastroesophageal junction cancer.
