Filter by:This phase 2 trial evaluates the benefit of epacadostat plus pembrolizumab in combination to treat patients with gastroesophageal junction or gastric cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and cannot be removed by surgery. Epacadostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may block tumor growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Giving epacadostat and pembrolizumab may work better in treating patients with gastroesophageal junction or gastric cancer.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab plus standard of care (SOC) chemotherapy with cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) versus placebo plus SOC chemotherapy with cisplatin and 5-FU as first-line treatment in participants with locally advanced or metastatic esophageal carcinoma. The overall primary efficacy hypotheses are as follows: 1. In participants with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), participants whose tumors are programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-positive (defined as combined positive score [CPS] ≥10), ESCC participants whose tumors are PD-L1 positive (CPS ≥10), and in all participants, overall survival (OS) is superior with pembrolizumab plus SOC chemotherapy compared with placebo plus SOC chemotherapy. 2. In participants with ESCC, participants whose tumors are PD-L1 positive (CPS ≥10), and in all participants, progression-free survival (PFS) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 as assessed by investigator is superior with pembrolizumab plus SOC chemotherapy compared with placebo plus SOC chemotherapy.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of radiation therapy combined with anti-PD-1 antibody SHR-1210 in patients with esophageal cancer
The main purpose of this trial is to investigate the safety and tolerability of TAEST16001（TCR Affinity Enhancing Specific T cell Therapy）in the multi-line treatment failed advanced solid tumors except non small cell lung cancer,including liver cancer,gastric cancer,esophageal cancer,bone and soft tissue tumors,breast cancer, bladder carcinoma,prostate carcinoma,thyroid cancer, ovarian cancer and so on. The patients must meet the two criteria: human leukocyte antigens (HLA)-A*0201+ and NY-ESO-1 positive cells≥25% by immunohistochemistry.
The purpose of this research study will be to determine the sensitivity and specificity of dwMRI metrics to assess tumor response following neoadjuvant chemoradiation in esophageal cancer. This pilot study will generate the preliminary data needed for the design of a statistically-justified trial that would investigate dwMRI as an integral biomarker to stratify patients for escalated therapy to improve outcomes. We hope to develop dwMRI as a predictive clinical tool for a personalized treatment model that can identify patients who may be candidates for organ-preservation or treatment intensification to improve outcomes in esophageal cancer.
The investigators hypothesize that this combination regimen of irinotecan plus ramucirumab administered as second line treatment will be tolerated and lead to improved outcomes similar to paclitaxel plus ramucirumab in patients with advanced gastric and gastro-esophageal junction (GEJ) cancers. This study proposes a phase II clinical trial with irinotecan plus ramucirumab for treatment of patients with metastatic gastric and GEJ adenocarcinoma who have progressed after first line chemotherapy. To the knowledge of the investigators, this regimen has not been previously administered to this patient population, so safety and tolerability will be monitored and reported.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of concurrent chemoradiation therapy on respiratory muscle performance, lung function and functional capacity in patients with local esophagus cancer.
The goal of this study is to find the maximum tolerable dose of radiation that can be delivered with concurrent chemotherapy (carboplatin & paclitaxel) in patients with esophageal cancer.
This study will aim to demonstrate that implementation of a rapid, multidisciplinary supportive care program for patients receiving chemoradiotherapy who are deemed to be at high risk for hospitalization based on real-time pedometer data will reduce the rate of hospitalization during chemoradiotherapy or within four weeks of radiotherapy completion.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on respiratory performance in patients with esophageal cancer during combined modality therapy.
