Filter by:This is a randomized controlled trial designed to compare robot-assisted thoracic approach with open transthoracic esophagectomy (Ivor Lewis technique) as a surgical treatment for resectable esophageal cancer. If our hypothesis is proved correct, robot-assisted thoracic approach will result in a lower percentage of respiratory and overall postoperative complications, lower blood loss, shorter hospital stay, but with at least similar oncologic outcomes and better postoperative quality of life compared with the open transthoracic esophagectomy (current standard).
The trial is a multi-center, open, observational registration study, which aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Camrelizumab (anti-PD-1 antibody) in the treatment of Chinese patients with advanced esophageal cancer in the real world.
Indocyanine green (ICG) has been recently introduced in clinical practice as a fuorescent tracer. Lymphadenectomy is particularly challenging in esophageal cancer surgery, owing to the complex anatomical drainage.Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore whether the NIR-ICG imaging system could accurately assess the lymph node markers during radical resection of esophageal cancer.
This multicenter study aims to include 15000 participants undergoing screening upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and establish a risk prediction model for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and esophagogastric junctional (EGJ) adenocarcinoma in high-risk areas. The prediction model will be built based on epidemiological and cytological features, acquired from the esophageal sponge cytology test. The primary study outcome is the diagnostic performance of the model to detect high-grade lesions (including carcinoma and high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia) of the esophagus and EGJ. Secondary outcomes include the number needed to screen, and dignostic performance of cytologist under AI assistance and abnornal cell count.
Prehabilitation utilizes the preoperative period to prevent or attenuate the treatment-related functional decline and its consequences. This project aims at testing feasibility and effectiveness of multimodal prehabilitation in esophageal cancer care.
This is a prospective cohort study designed to evaluate the treatment effect as well as predictive and prognostic factors with special emphasis on the clinical utility of ctDNA in plasma in patients with gastroesophageal cancer. Patients with gastroesophageal cancer are included in 5 separate cohorts scheduled for - Surgical resection + perioperative chemotherapy (cohort 1) - Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgical resection (cohort 2) - Definitive chemoradiotherapy with curative intent (cohort 3) - Systemic therapy with the intent to prolong survival (cohort 4) - Palliative treatment without the use of chemotherapy (cohort 5)
The objective of this expanded access program is to provide ulixertinib (BVD-523) for compassionate use in advanced cancer patients with MAPK pathway-altered solid tumor(s), including but not limited to KRAS, NRAS, HRAS, BRAF, MEK, and ERK mutations who have incomplete response to or have exhausted available therapies. Ulixertinib is available for treatment as monotherapy or in combination with other clinically tolerable agent(s), conditionally approved by the drug manufacturer.
This study wants to focus on Carcinoma detection rates with blue laser imaging (BLI) for participants with head-neck cancer who need a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). BLI is a new imaging technique that can easily be used within a standard gastroscopy.
To determine the incidence and risk factors of ethanol-induced symptoms, this multicenter, prospective, observational study is designed to include patients in Korea who are receiving chemotherapy with ethanol-containing docetaxel alone or in combination. Subjects who voluntarily provide written informed consent to provide information for this study and meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be given an enrollment number and will be followed during the observation period to collect study-related data in the Case Report Forms (CRFs) as predefined in the study protocol. Patients' decision to participate (or not) in this study will not affect their treatment (physician's prescriptions or diagnostic/therapeutic decisions).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab plus tiragolumab in combination with paclitaxel and cisplatin (PC) compared with atezolizumab matching placebo plus tiragolumab matching placebo plus PC as first-line treatment in participants with unresectable locally advanced, unresectable recurrent, or metastatic esophageal carcinoma (EC). Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive one of the following treatment regimens during induction phase: Arm A: Atezolizumab plus Tiragolumab and PC Arm B: Atezolizumab placebo plus Tiragolumab placebo and PC Following the induction phase, participants will continue maintenance therapy with either atezolizumab plus tiragolumab (Arm A) or atezolizumab matching placebo plus tiragolumab matching placebo (Arm B).
