Filter by:This is a Phase 1 multi-center study to assess the safety and efficacy of TGR-1202 as a single agent or in combination with nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine or with FOLFOX in patients with select relapsed or refractory solid tumors.
This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, phase III trail comparing adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (Paclitaxel and carboplatin) to adjuvant radiotherapy in patients undergoing radical esophagectomy for pathologic lymph node positive esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
The purpose of study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Nivolumab in unresectable advanced or recurrent esophageal cancer patients who have failed in standard chemotherapies.
This randomized phase III trial is to compare simultaneous modulated accelerated boost with standard dose radiotherapy given together with chemotherapy in treating patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
In this prospective study, we will recruit newly diagnosed esophageal cancer patients and perform MR/PET before and after chemoradiation therapy. In MR, new image sequences will be added to the conventional sequences, such as high resolution image, DWI, DCE, cine imaging.
Palliative care physicians and nurses are trained to help reduce suffering and improve quality of life in patients under their care. Their services also include other components such as referral to dietitians, social workers and community resources, to assist patients in their homes. In addition to this, they may also administer interventions to make patients more comfortable, assisting them and their families in making important decisions and providing support, during that time. At present, palliative care is provided to esophageal cancer patients on an as-needed basis, through the referral of a heath care professional or the patient's request. This study aims to assess the impact of the integration of early palliative care combined with appropriate medical care in the metastatic esophageal cancer population, so that patients can benefit from these services at an earlier stage. It is hoped that this will improve quality of life, symptom management, depression and anxiety, as well as survival.
Patients with esophageal cancer that had metastatic lesions after been treated with definitive surgery or chemoradiotherapy are being asked to participate in this study. 1. To observe immunity-mediated tumor response after Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy(SBRT) of a metastatic site in metastatic esophageal cancer patients. 2. To induce the efficacy (effectiveness) of a new combination of therapy, SBRT and thymalfasin for heavily pretreated, metastatic esophageal cancer patients; This study will help find out what effects (good or bad) the combination of radiotherapy and thymalfasin has on metastatic esophageal cancer.
Patients with esophageal cancer that had metastatic lesions after been treated with surgery or definitive chemoradiotherapy are being asked to participate in this study. Apatinib is a small-molecule vascular endothelial growth factors receptor (VEGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor, similar to vatalanib (PTK787), but with a binding affinity 10 times that of vatalanib or sorafenib. The purpose of this study is to determine what effects apatinib has on metastatic esophageal cancer. These effects include whether apatinib could shrink the tumor or slow down its growth and what side effects apatinib will have on the tumor.
Assess Cryoablation (CryoBalloon Ablation cryotherapy) for treatment of Dysplastic Barrett's Esophagus, Esophageal Squamous Dysplasia and early Esophageal Cancer. The cryoablation treatment will be offered as an alternative to standard ablation therapies such as Radiofrequency Ablation, Argon Plasma Coagulation and carbon dioxide Cryotherapy).
The Mayo Clinic Conduit Report Card Questionnaires have been created in order to have a consistent evaluation tools for patients undergoing esophageal reconstruction or treatment or patients that are experiencing an upper digestive disease in order to standardize and validate outcome measures. Data will be used to establish the validation of the questionnaires/survey. Data will also lead to the establishment of "normal" or expected scores for patients undergoing each type of esophagectomy procedure and for upper digestive diseases. Data will contribute to creating treatment algorithms for symptom management for upper digestive diseases and for post-operative complications and symptoms as well as contribute to pre-operative education.
