Filter by:This study is a prospective, open-label, two-arm exploratory Phase II clinical trial aimed at observing and evaluating the efficacy and safety of combined therapy with cadonilimab and fruquintinib in conjunction with paclitaxel-albumin as second-line treatment for advanced gastric/esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma. Patients meeting the inclusion criteria were divided into two groups based on whether they had received PD-1/L1 antibody treatment in the first line: Group A (immunotherapy-naive group - patients who had previously failed standard chemotherapy in the first line) and Group B (immunotherapy rechallenge group - patients who had previously failed PD-1/L1 antibody combined chemotherapy in the first line). All patients received combined therapy with cadonilimab and fruquintinib in conjunction with paclitaxel-albumin until intolerable toxic reactions occurred, disease progression, withdrawal of informed consent by the subject, loss to follow-up, death, other conditions judged by the investigator to require termination of treatment, or termination of the study, whichever occurred first. The maximum duration of paclitaxel-albumin treatment was 6 cycles, and cadonilimab treatment did not exceed 1 year. Clinical tumor imaging evaluations were conducted every 8 weeks during treatment using RECIST v1.1 criteria, and safety assessments were performed using CTCAE 5.0, recording adverse events within 30 days from the first dose to the end of treatment.
We intend to conduct a prospective single-arm clinical study to explore the efficacy and safety of immunochemotherapy in neoadjuvant therapy in elderly patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Most previous randomized controlled studies (such as the 5010 study) have excluded older patients ≥70 years of age. However, in the real world, elderly patients with esophageal cancer account for a large number of patients, and elderly people have many complications and poor tolerance to treatment, which limits the application of synchronous chemoradiotherapy in this group. There is no standard treatment plan for patients over 70 years old, and the purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness and safety of neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy in the treatment of this group of elderly people.
The investigators conduct this phase II study to evaluate safety and effectiveness of EGCG in patients with dysphagia. Swallowing-related dysphagia and pain scores were recorded using the numerical rating scale (NRS) daily . Barium meal radiography was utilized to measure the luminal size and the length of the lesion area both before and after a week of EGCG treatment. The scales are translated into Chinese and guides in Chinese are developed instructing how to use the scales and perform the assessments.
Radiotherapy plays an important role in multidisciplinary treatment of esophageal cancer. Data from many laboratories indicate that local radiation produces systemic, immune-mediated anti¬tumour and, potentially, antimetastatic effects. Additionally, the combination of local radiotherapy and immune-modulation can augment local tumour control and cause distant (abscopal) antitumour effects through increased tumour-antigen release and antigen-presenting cell (APC) cross-presentation, improved dendritic-cell (DC) function, and enhanced T cell priming. The generation of an effective antitumor immune response requires the presentation of tumor antigens to naïve CD8+ cells in tumor-draining lymph nodes (TDLN) . Tumor-draining lymph nodes, however, are often subject to the immunosuppressive activity of tumor-derived factors, such as cytokines and other bioactive molecules from tumor cells and their associated leukocytes in the primary tumor site that contribute to the overriding of effective rejection mechanisms. Thus, in TDLN a T cell tolerance rather than a T cell activation often occurs, thereby preventing immune attack and facilitating local tumor progression.
Purpose：To observe and evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of deep-sea fish oil in preventing acute radiation-induced esophagitis (ARIE). Methods and Materials：A total of 120 patients with esophageal cancer treated with radiotherapy were randomly assigned (1:1) to treatment or control group. In the treatment group, 1g deep-sea fish oil was oral administrated prophylactically twice a day，the control group was blank control. The clinical efficacy of deep-sea fish oil on prevention of ARIE was evaluated by comparing the differences in the occurrence time, the grade and incidence of ARIE. Additionally, the change in nutritional status was also investigated. Hemanalysis, liver function, kidney function changes， and adverse reactions were compared before and after treatment to evaluate the safety of deep-sea fish oil.
The investigators will conduct a prospective phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade monotherapy with toripalimab in elderly patients with locally advanced resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
This multicenter, prospective observational cohort study has the potential to optimize individualized chemoradiotherapy regimen for early-stage esophageal cancer patients who have received endoscopic submucosal dissection.
This study aims to develop a highly sensitive, specific, and cost-effective blood assay for the early detection of esophageal adenocarcinoma and its precursor lesions, using advanced machine learning and state-of-the-art biological analyses.
This clinical trial is looking at UCB4594. This is the first time the drug is being tested in humans. UCB4594 is a type of drug called a monoclonal antibody. It has been designed to work by targeting a protein called human leucocyte antigen G (HLA-G) that is found in high levels on some cancer cells. By attaching itself to this protein it may help the immune system to attack and kill the cancer cells. The four main aims of the clinical trial are to find out: 1. The best dose of UCB4594 that can be given safely to participants in the trial. 2. What the side effects of UCB4594 are and how they can be managed. 3. What happens to UCB4594 inside the body and how it affects cancer cells. 4. Whether UCB4594 can cause cancer to shrink.
The aim of this project is to develop and validate NTCP-models for complications after nCRT (and surgical resection), that can be uses for model-based dose optimization for PhRT and PRT, and for model-based selection for PRT, in patients with esophageal cancer
