Filter by:This is a Phase 1 dose-escalation study of PRT1419, a myeloid cell leukemia 1 (MCL1) inhibitor, in patients with advanced solid tumors. The purpose of this study is to define the dosing schedule, maximally tolerated dose and/or estimate the optimal biological dose to be used in subsequent development of PRT1419.
Esophageal surgery is a complex surgery, with high post-operative morbidity and mortality. The incidence of complications associated with esophagectomy varies from 17% to 74%, in the literature. A section of vagus nerves is conventionally performed during esophagectomy for cancer, because of oncological margins. The vagus nerve is responsible for the parasympathetic innervation at the gastrointestinal level, but also at the cardiac and pulmonary level. The post-operative morbidity of these procedures could be linked in part to the bilateral section of the vagus nerves, because of their impact on the autonomous regulation of this vital functions. The main objective of the study is to find a modification of the sympathomimetic balance pre and post operatively, in patients undergoing esophagectomy.
The primary objective of this study, DELFI-L101, is to train and test classifiers for lung cancer detection using the DELFI assay and other biomarker and clinical features.
The role of preoperative chemotherapy as standard therapy is well-established for advanced esophageal cancer. Immunotherapeutic agents such as Immune checkpoint inhibitors has been shown to improve objective response rate in solid tumors. However, there is a paucity of data regarding the efficacy and safety of preoperative immunotherapy plus chemotherapy in esophageal cancer patients in real-world practice. This study set out to investigate whether the combination of preoperative chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors is beneficial to improve the objective response rate as well as the pathological complete response rate in a real-world scenario.
Esophageal cancer is the most prevalent cancer globally with poor survival outcome. The prognosis with surgery alone is poor, accounting for 30-40% of overall survival at 5 year. Either neoadjuvant chemotherapy (nCT) or chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) has been shown as efficatious therapy to improve patients outcomes in esophageal or esophagogastric junction cancer as compared with surgery alone. The purpose of this study was to explore the optimal neoadjuvant treatment modalities including PD-1/PD-L1 antibody or targeted drug for patients with esophageal or esophagogastric junction cancer.
Retrospective and confounder adjusted comparison of perioperative and longterm outcomes of patients requiring an esophagectomy for esophageal cancer with and without concomitant liver cirrhosis.
The purpose of the Dielectrics Properties of Thoracic Malignancies Study (DPTMS) is to provide a wealth of knowledge for investigators involved in establishing a new and effective treatment for a variety of solid tumors using tumor treatment fields. It is intended to provide biospecimen (tumor/healthy) together with demographic data (age, sex, race, occupational history, and other epidemiologic information), and clinical data (stage, treatment, survival information, and annotated CT's). Our specific aims are to test the following hypotheses: 1) Electric properties of thoracic tumors differ from electric properties of surrounding healthy tissue 2) Different tumor types will have different electric properties 3) Electric properties of individual tumors are heterogeneous 4) Electric properties of tumors are related to the structure and composition of the underlying tissue 5) Use of standard medical imaging data (CT) will permit mapping of electric properties.
This is a prospective study addressing the challenge of predicting disease progression and/or recurrence in patients diagnosed with metastatic colorectal, pancreatobiliary, or esophagogastric cancer that are receiving anti-cancer therapy.
This is a Phase 1/1b, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation, and dose-expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), and clinical activity of AB308 in combination with zimberelimab (AB122) in participants with advanced malignancies.
This study will investigate the efficacy of ADP-A2M4CD8 T-cell therapy in subjects who have the appropriate human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and tumor antigen status and whose esophageal or esophagogastric junction (EGJ) cancer expresses the MAGE-A4 protein.
