Filter by:The aim of our study was to demonstrate the efficacy and feasibility of the medical consortium for screening upper gastrointestinal cancers with magnetically controlled capsule gastroscopy.
This study is to collect and validate regulatory-grade real-world data (RWD) in oncology using the novel, Master Observational Trial construct. This data can be then used in real-world evidence (RWE) generation. It will also create reusable infrastructure to allow creation or affiliation with many additional RWD/RWE efforts both prospective and retrospective in nature.
Esophageal cancer, which has a low 5-year overall survival rate for all stages (<20%) , is increasing in incidence. Previous studies have shown that the Hedgehog (Hh) and AKT signaling pathways are activated in a significant proportion of esophageal cancers. Itraconazole, a widely used anti-fungal medication, has been shown to inhibit various pathways involved in esophageal cancer tumorigenesis including Hh and AKT. In this phase II clinical trial, the investigators aim to evaluate the effect of itraconazole as a neoadjuvant therapy following standard of care chemoradiation in the treatment of locoregional esophageal and gastroesophageal junction carcinomas.
Lung cancer, one of the malignant tumors which poses a threat to human's health, has increased morbidity and mortality recently. Radiotherapy, as one of the common treatments, has important value in clinical application. Esophageal cancer, one of the most common digestive system cancers, has poor prognosis and high mortality. Esophageal cancer has high aggressive and many patients can't get surgical treatment because of the tumor metastasis at the time of diagnosis.Currently, chemoradiotherapy has become one of the standard treatment regimens for patients with unresectable esophageal cancer in National Comprehensive Cancer Network(NCCN). So radiotherapy is one of the most important treatments in esophageal cancer. Currently, the efficacy evaluation method of radiotherapy is by imaging examination after several courses of treatment. However, new reports suggest that circulating tumor DNA(ctDNA) has the potential to be an indicator of therapeutic effectiveness and recurrence risk.
This phase I trial studies the best dose of sonidegib when given together with pembrolizumab and to see how well they work in treating patients with solid tumor that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Sonidegib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving sonidegib and pembrolizumab may work better than standard treatment in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.
Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by surgery has become the standard treatment option for locally advanced esophageal cancer (EC). However, only 20% to 40% of EC patients can achieve pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant CRT with favorable prognosis. Immunotherapy targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoints has demonstrated promising activity in advanced EC. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of toripalimab (an anti-PD-1 antibody) combined with neoadjuvant CRT in locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
This study aims to determine whether a breath test could be used for early detection of oesophageal cancer and Barrett's high grade dysplasia. Patients who are attending for a planned gastroscopy or who are scheduled to undergo elective resection of histologically confirmed early stage oesophageal adenocarcinoma or dysplasia will be approached to provide a breath sample. Multi platform mass spectrometry analysis will be performed to establish volatile biomarkers that can discriminate between early stage (T1) oesophageal cancer/ Hight grade dysplasia from non cancer healthy controls/non dysplastic Barrett's cancer.
This study will examine the combination of pembrolizumab and tadalafil for safety and efficacy in advanced head and neck cancer.
Esophageal cancer (EC) ranks the seventh most diagnosed malignant tumor (572,000 new cases) and the sixth cancer-related mortality (509,000 deaths) worldwide in 2018. The incidence of EC is strikingly varying among the regions and sexes. Approximately 70% of EC cases occur in men, and there is a 2-fold to 3-fold difference in incidence and mortality rates between regions worldwide. According to the latest reported in 2017, esophageal cancer ranks the sixth most common cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer-mortality in China. Currently, esophagectomy is considered as the standard treatment for resectable EC patients. However, the prognosis of stage IIA-III esophageal cancer after esophagectomy remains poor, and local regional lymph node recurrence is the major patterns of recurrence, and mediastinal lymph node recurrence is one of the most common sites. Previous retrospective study has found that salvage chemoradiotherapy is a effective treatment option for these patients. However, the optimal dose remains unknown. In addition, no prospective trials have been conducted to investigate the efficacy and toxicities of salvage chemo-radiotherapy by using simultaneous integrated boost for the treatment of mediastinal lymph node recurrence after radical surgery of esophageal Cancer
The prognosis of locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is poor,the role of chemotherapy as neoadjuvant therapy in locally advanced esophageal cancer has been established, which can convert some unresectable esophageal cancer into resectable esophageal cancer.PD-1 antibody has been shown to improve the pathological complete response rate in NSCLC, however, the data in neoadjuvant of esophageal squamous carcinoma is relatively rare. This study was designed to know the value of PD-1 antibody in neoadjuvant therapy of esophageal cancer.
