Filter by:Open-label, phase II, basket trial. This trial is a screening program for abemaciclib efficacy in multiple platinum-resistant tumour types by using metabolic imaging (PERCIST) and RECIST v1.1 criteria. Based on the rate of FDG-avidity and the absence of deactivation of the Rb gene function in more than 95% of cases, we propose to define 5 tumour types of interest in a preliminary stage: 1. Platinum-refractory esophageal adenocarcinoma (ADC) 2. Platinum-refractory esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) 3. Platinum-refractory cholangiocarcinoma 4. Platinum-refractory and progressive after immunotherapy urothelial cancer 5. Platinum-refractory endometrial cancer
This is a single-center, single-arm, open-label, Simon 2-stage, phase II trial in up to 55 patients with a potentially resectable, histologically-proven, adenocarcinoma or poorly differentiated carcinoma of the stomach, esophagogastric junction (EGJ), or lower third of the esophagus. Patients will receive neoadjuvant therapy consisting of 4 cycles of avelumab added to the modified chemotherapy regimen of docetaxel, cisplatin, 5- fluorouracil. Following surgery, pathologic response will be assessed. Patients will then receive adjuvant therapy consisting of 4 cycles of mDCF + avelumab. Patients will be followed to assess two-year disease-free survival rates. The primary objective of this study is to assess the effect on pathologic complete response rate (pCR) of adding avelumab to an mDCF regimen. The secondary objectives of this study are to determine the safety of adding avelumab to an mDCF regimen and assess its effect on two-year disease-free survival.
Background: The number of patients with esophageal cancer keeps rising. For many patients, a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation is necessary to completely treat the disease. Usually, patients receive chemotherapy and radiation at the same time followed by surgery to remove the part of the esophagus with the tumor (Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT)). Researchers want to learn how to make this treatment more effective. Objective: To see if biopsies before treatment can show which patients will do the best with a combination of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Eligibility: Adults at least 18 years old with esophageal adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma who should be treated with chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Design: Patients will undergo standard testing that is routine for all patients with this disease. These tests include: Medical history Physical exam with activity and nutritional assessment Standard lab tests Imaging studies including a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scan and positron-emission tomography (PET) scan Breathing test into a machine to measure size and function of lungs. Biopsy for a small sample of tumor is removed by esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD): A tube inserted into the mouth under anesthesia Endoscopic ultrasound is performed in some but not all patients. Patients will have nCRT at the clinic or with their local doctor. In 6 -12 weeks after nCRT, patients will undergo surgery with: 1. A robotically-assisted, minimally-invasive esophagectomy 2. Or, a traditional, open approach. After surgery, patients are usually in the hospital for 2 weeks and have a feeding tube for at least 2 weeks and potentially longer until they are eating enough to not lose weight. Patients will return for follow-up visits with labs and CAT scans every 6 months for the first two years then every year afterwards.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether CRS-207 in combination with pembrolizumab is safe and effective in adults with recurrent or metastatic gastric, gastroesophageal junction, or esophageal cancer who have received one or two prior chemotherapy regimens for advanced disease.
This study aims to elucidate the relationship between the microbiome, inflammation, and the microenvironment in Barrett's esophagus (BE) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), with the end goal of developing a non-endoscopic testing strategy based on pathogenic factors to identify patients at highest risk for EAC. To accomplish this the investigators will enroll 100 patients with known BE (50 with dysplasia or EAC) and 50 subjects without BE undergoing upper endoscopy. Prior to endoscopy each subject will undergo three minimally invasive potential screening and surveillance tests: saliva (oral microbiome), breath test (exhaled volatile organic compounds), and tethered capsule sponge sampling (methylated DNA markers). The study will evaluate these novel tests in combination with clinical and anthropometric factors to describe an optimal strategy for BE screening and monitoring.
This is a multi-center, prospective, randomized study which will enroll patients undergoing endoscopic surveillance due to a history of histologically confirmed dysplasia. A member of the research team will approach a potential subject to discuss participation in the study, including background of the proposed study, inclusion and exclusion criteria, benefits and risks of the procedures and follow-up. If this is of interest to the subject, the informed consent form is discussed and presented. The subject must sign the consent form prior to enrollment. This form will have prior approval of the study site's Institutional Review Board (IRB). Failure to obtain informed consent renders the subject ineligible for the study.
This is a randomized, multicenter phase II study of pembrolizumab in combination with chemotherapy and chemoradiation in locally advanced esophageal adenocarcinoma to examine the safety and efficacy of the combination of pembrolizumab with chemotherapy and chemoradiation in locally advanced esophageal adenocarcinoma as assessed by 1 year disease free survival rate.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of adding a new drug, durvalumab (also called MEDI4736), to chemoradiation with either FOLFOX/Capeox or carboplatin and paclitaxel, following initial chemotherapy with FOLFOX. The investigators want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, this combination has on the patient and cancer.
This pilot clinical trial studies how well a swallowable sponge cell sampling device and next generation sequencing work in detecting esophageal cancer in patients with low or high grade dysplasia, Barrett esophagus, or gastroesophageal reflux disease. Checking biomarkers in abnormal esophageal cells using a swallowable sponge cell sampling device and next generation sequencing may improve diagnosis and treatment of esophageal cancer.
The main purpose of this study is to compare how long patients with gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer live after receiving nivolumab and ipilimumab or nivolumab and chemotherapy compared with patients receiving chemotherapy alone.
