Filter by:Treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors such as programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1 inhibitors) for advanced and metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) significantly improves patients' overall survival compared to chemotherapy alone. Despite this milestone breakthrough, immunochemotherapy also has known limitations. Indeed, only 45-72% of patients achieved objective responses. It is urgent to find out easily-determined and convenient biomarkers to identify patients who will benefit from such treatment modality. Due to the luminal structure of the esophagus, the exact diameter of esophageal tumor cannot be precisely measured per RECIST 1.1. Moreover, the definition of the metastatic lymph node in which the short-axis lengths should be longer than 1.5 cm hinders the risk of missing the smaller metastatic lymph node foci. Thus, it is difficult to implement morphology-based criteria for evaluating the neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy response. The current study aimed to investigate the role of iPERCIST in predicting tumor response and the short-term overall survival of patients with locally advanced ESCC after neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy.
The aim of the study is to investigate inter-observer variation in gross tumor volume (GTV) delineation of oesophageal cancer on different imaging modalities - CT, PET CT and MR.Twenty-three consecutive patients with esophageal cancer treated with preoperative or curative chemoradiotherapy were selected. All patients had CT, PET CT and MR imaging in treatment position prior to radiotherapy.Five experienced observers from our institution will independently delineate GTV on CT alone, MR alone, PET CT alone, on co-registered CT and MR and co-registered PET CT and MR. Inter-observer agreement, expressed in generalized conformity index (CIgen) and mean volumes of GTV will be calculated per patient and imaging modality.
A Phase I/IIa Study of the Safety and Tolerability of T3011 Administered via Intratumoral Injection in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors
This single-center, retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the short-term outcomes of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol in perioperative robotic-assisted McKeown esophagectomy (RAME) among esophageal cancer patients.
ActivSight™ combines an innovative form factor and proprietary software to deliver precise, objective, real-time visualization of blood flow and tissue perfusion intraoperatively for laparoscope-based surgery. A small adaptor that fits between any existing laparoscope and camera systems and a separate light source placed along any current commercial system will deliver objective real-time tissue perfusion and blood flow information intraoperatively. Primary Objective: To determine the feasibility of ActivSight™ in detecting and displaying tissue perfusion and blood flow in the conduit and foregut anastomoses in esophageal resection/reconstructive surgery. The investigators will compare the precision and accuracy among the naked eye inspection, ICG and LSCI in assessing the vascularity of the conduit.
This is a prospective, single arm, multicenter phase II study to assess the effectiveness of Serplulimab, Lenvatinib and Paclitaxel in the treatment of advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma after first-line immunotherapy.
This is an open-label, non-randomized, Phase 1b/2 study to determine the safety and tolerability of NC410 when combined with a standard dose of pembrolizumab. This study will also assess the clinical benefit of combination therapy in participants with advanced unresectable and/or metastatic ICI refractory solid tumors OR ICI naïve MSS/MSI-low solid tumors
To clarify the effect of the number of lymph node dissection and the number of stations on survival
Most ESCC received NAC in China without supportive evidence from local RCTs. The negative conclusion about NAC originated from Western countries in the 1990s. Whether two-field extensive mediastinal lymphadenectomy and paclitaxel/platinum-based chemotherapy results in better survival should be determined. As the highest ESCC incidence area worldwid, we tried to analyze this top with big data by using a single-center case-control retrospective PMS study. Paclitaxel- and platinum-based NAC combined with two-field of the extensive mediastinal lymphadenectomy might provide better survival benefits than primary esophagectomy for stage II/III SCC.
This is a Phase 1/2a open-label, multicenter, dose escalation and dose expansion trial in which IMT-009 will be administered by the intravenous (IV) route to participants with solid tumors or lymphomas. The main goals of this study are to: - Find the recommended dose of IMT-009 that can be safely given to participants - Learn more about the side effects of IMT-009 - Learn more about pharmacokinetics of IMT-009 - Learn more about the effectiveness of IMT-009 - Learn more about different pharmacokinetic biomarkers and how they might change in the presence of IMT-009
