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).
Caffeic acid can target inhibit GASC1 (gene amplified in squamous cell carcinoma 1, also known as KDM4C and JMJD2C) expression and GASC1 is confirmed to be a new oncogene in several cancers including esophageal cancer. This study aims to investigate the efficiency and safety of coffeic acid in chinese advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC).
Subepithelial lesions (SEL) are incidentally observed in the stomach of about 0.3% of middle-aged men and women; half of these are neoplastic. The incidence of subepithelial tumors (SET) of gastrointestinal (GI) origin has risen twofold to fivefold within the past 30 years.The etiology of most SMTs cannot easily be determined by endoscopy. So, we aim to estimate the prevalence and types of sub-epithelial lesions among patients undergoing EGDs in Egypt.
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.
The purpose of this Phase I study is to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and safety profile of NBTXR3 activated by radiation therapy with concurrent chemotherapy for the treatment of patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma. NBTXR3 is a drug that when activated by radiation therapy, may cause targeted destruction of cancer cells. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Chemotherapy drugs, such as oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, capecitabine, docetaxel, paclitaxel, and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving NBTXR3 activated by radiation therapy with concurrent chemotherapy may help control the disease.
This is a single-arm, multicenter, phase 2 study to assess the efficacy and safety of Toripalimab Injection (JS001) in patients with advanced recurrent or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma who have failed at least 2 prior lines of therapy and are positive for specific markers. Patients who meet the requirements will be treated with Toripalimab injection 240 mg once every 3 weeks (q3w) until disease progression based on imaging according to RECIST 1.1 criteria judged by the investigator, or intolerable toxicity, or withdrawal of informed consent, or withdrawal of treatment judged by the investigator, or voluntarydiscontinuation of treatment by the patient with CR of more than 6 months, or up to 2 years of treatment for JS001, whichever occurs first. For the case that the patient shows disease progression on imaging according to RECIST 1.1, as long as the investigator judges that the patient can still benefit from continued medication, the treatment with Toripalimab Injection can be continued until the progression on imaging assessed by the investigator for the second time. The clinical benefit is based on the results of comprehensive assessment by the investigator in combination with imaging findings and clinical condition when the patient has no intolerable toxicity or the symptoms worsen due to disease progression. Tumor assessments are performed at screening (as the baseline), every 6 weeks from the first dose in the first year, and every 9 weeks from the second year until radiologically documented progressive disease (PD), or second disease progression judged by the investigator (for patients with disease progression shown by first imaging, but who can continue treatment judged by the investigator), or withdrawal of informed consent by the patient, or loss to follow-up, or start of a new anti-tumor therapy, or the termination of the study. If a patient withdraws from the study for reasons other than disease progression (including due to the AE or because the treatment interval is beyond the window) and no disease progression occurs at the time of withdrawal, radiographic assessments should be continued until disease progression, death, or start of a new anti-tumor therapy. Patient medication management is based on the investigator's tumor assessment.
The outcome of irresectable oesophaguscancer is poor, despite the fact that curative treatment with definitive chemoradiation is possible. The outcome of treatment can possibly be improved by combining chemoradiation with immunotherapy such as bintrafusp alfa, a combined TGF-β and PD-L1 inhibitor. In this study investigators investigate the feasibility of combining bintrafusp alfa with definitive chemoradiation in patients with irresectable squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus.
An open, multicenter, phase Ib/II study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of CT041 autologous CAR T-cell injection in patients with advanced gastric/ gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma and pancreatic cancer
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)
