Filter by:In the China extension study, Chinese participants with advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus or Siewert type I adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) that has progressed after first-line standard therapy will be randomized to receive either single agent pembrolizumab or the Investigator's choice of chemotherapy with paclitaxel, docetaxel, or irinotecan. The primary extension study hypothesis is that treatment with pembrolizumab will prolong overall survival (OS) as compared to treatment with chemotherapy.
In this study, participants with advanced or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus that has progressed after first-line standard therapy will be randomized to receive either single agent SHR-1210 or the Investigator's choice of standard therapy with docetaxel or irinotecan. The primary study hypothesis is that treatment with SHR-1210 will prolong overall survival (OS) as compared to treatment with standard therapy.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well botulinum toxin type A works in preventing complication after surgery in patients with esophageal cancer. Botulinum toxin type A may cause less complications of nausea and vomiting after surgery.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerance and efficacy of Liposomal Paclitaxel With Nedaplatin as First-line in patients with Advanced or Recurrent Esophageal Carcinoma
In this study, participants with advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus or Siewert type I adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) that had progressed after first-line standard therapy were randomized to receive either pembrolizumab (MK-3475) OR the Investigator's choice of standard chemotherapy with paclitaxel, docetaxel, or irinotecan. The primary study hypothesis was that treatment with pembrolizumab would prolong overall survival (OS) as compared to treatment with standard chemotherapy.
In this study participants with advanced/metastatic adenocarcinoma of the esophagus (EAC), squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus (ESCC), or advanced/metastatic Siewert type I adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ), who had been previously treated with two standard therapies, will be treated with pembrolizumab.
Despite neoadjuvant chemoradiation regimens esophageal cancer remains a disease with poor outcome. The clinical benefit of HER2 targeting with trastuzumab has been shown in the setting of advanced disease and disease and safety of combining trastuzumab with chemoradiation in the curative setting has been established. In breast cancer, the added value of pertuzumab to standard treatment with trastuzumab has been shown both in the neoadjuvant and the metastastic setting. Taken together, there is a sound rationale to explore the combination of radiotherapy plus chemotherapy with trastuzumab and pertuzumab in HER2+resectable esophageal cancer. However, since the number of HER2+ patients in this setting is limited, and no data are available on the safety of this combination prior to major surgery, we propose to first conduct a feasibility study with this treatment stratgy. When the results of this study show that this treatment strategy is feasible, we will subsequently design a prospective study with efficacy as primary endpoint.
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of icotinib in treating advanced carcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction and esophagus with EGFR overexpression (IHC 3+) or positive FISH, the primary endpoint is objective response rates.
Background: Owing to controversial staging and classification of adenocarcinoma of the oesophagogastric junction (AOG) before surgery, the choice of appropriate surgical approach remains problematic. In a retrospective study, preoperative staging of AOG and the impact of preoperative misclassification on outcome were analysed. Methods: Data from patients with AOG were analysed from a prospectively collected database with regard to surgical treatment, preoperative and postoperative staging, and outcome.
The purpose of this study is to show if the adoptive cellular therapy with autologous dendritic cells and cytokine-induced killer cells (CIK) combined with concurrent chemoradiation could improve the quality of life of the patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer, compared with concurrent chemoradiation only.
