Filter by:This phase II trial investigates how well oral cryotherapy plus acupressure and acupuncture compared with oral cryotherapy alone work in decreasing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in patients with gastrointestinal cancer who are receiving oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. Acupressure is the application of pressure or localized massage to specific sites on the body to control symptoms such as pain or nausea. Acupuncture is the technique of inserting thin needles through the skin at specific points on the body to control pain and other symptoms. Cryotherapy uses cold temperature such as oral ice chips to prevent abnormally increased pain sensation. Giving oral cryotherapy with acupressure and acupuncture may work better in decreasing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy from oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy in patients with gastrointestinal cancer compared to oral cryotherapy alone.
The esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) has high prevalence and mortality in China, which become a severe challenge for public health. The molecular imaging technology has been developed for visualization and precise diagnosis of the tumors. Integrin αvβ3 is a specific marker for tumor. Noninvasive visualization and quantitative analysis of integrin αvβ3 expression provide new opportunities for tumor diagnosis, identification and efficacy monitoring. The peptide containing Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) can specifically bind to integrin αvβ3 receptor with high selectivity and affinity to achieve the detecting tumor .The SPECT/CT with 99mTc-3PRGD2 has a high specificity in the diagnosis of mediastinal lymphnode metastasis and a greater value in the decision-making of lymphnode dissection. This study is a single-center self-controlled study, It is planned to enroll 30 patients with esophageal cancer , preliminarily confirmed by endoscopic biopsy, . After intravenous injection of 0.3 mCi/kg of 99mTC-3PRGD2, patients underwent single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) examination.Subsequently, the patients received chest/abdomen enhanced CT and 18F fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission computed tomography /CT (PET/CT) for diagnosis. According to the determination of the researcher, patients who were suitable for surgery received surgery to obtain surgical pathology; For patients who were not suitable for surgery, ultrasound-guided lyphnode biop was performed .In this study, pathological specimens were obtained from gastroscopy, surgical pathology, or ultrasound-guided lymph node biopsy. The diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity , specificity and safety of SPECT/CT with 99mTc-3PRGD2 were evaluated and compared with PET-CT and enhanced CT.
This study examines at-home monitoring of patient-generated phsyiologic health data and patient-reported outcomes. Patient-generated health data using at-home monitoring devices and smart device applications are used more and more to measure value and quality in cancer care. This trial may show whether at-home monitoring programs can improve the care of patients after hospital discharge from surgery.
Hypoxia is the most common adverse event during gastrointestinal endoscopes sedated with propofol and sufentanil, especially in obese people. In the present study, high-flow nasal cannula oxygenation will be utilized in order to reduce the incidence of hypoxia among obesity.
This study is being done to see if tucatinib with trastuzumab, ramucirumab and paclitaxel works better than ramucirumab and paclitaxel to treat HER2-positive (HER2+) cancer of the gut (stomach or gastroesophageal cancer). This study will also look at what side effects happen when participants take this combination of drugs. A side effect is anything the drug does other than treating cancer. Study treatment will be given in 28-day cycles. In the Phase 2 part of the trial, participants and their doctors will know what drugs are being given (open-label). In the Phase 3 part, the study is "blinded." This means that participants, their doctor, and the study sponsor will not know which drugs are being given.
This phase I trial identifies the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of BAY 1895344 in combination with chemotherapy in treating patients with solid tumors or urothelial cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). BAY 1895344 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Cisplatin and gemcitabine are chemotherapy drugs that stop the growth of tumor cells by killing the cells. Combining BAY 1895344 with chemotherapy treatment (cisplatin, or cisplatin and gemcitabine) may be effective for the treatment of advanced solid tumors, including urothelial cancer.
In esophageal carcinoma, neoadjuvant concurrent chemo-radiotherapy (NA-CCRT) followed by surgery is the current standard of care and ample evidence has accumulated supporting the view that complete pathological response (pCR) is a positive prognostic marker for improved outcomes. Predicting the probability of achieving pCR prior to neoadjuvant treatment could permit modification of treatment protocols for those patients unlikely to achieve pCR. Radiomics is a new entrant in the field of imaging where specific features are derived from the intensity and distribution pattern of pixels based on a region-of-interest (ROI). The features thus extracted can then be used for prediction modelling similar to other -omics datasets. Preliminary investigations examining its utility have been performed and its applications have thus far focused on screening and survival prediction after treatment. Due to the multi-dimensional nature of data extracted using radiomics, Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods are ideally suited for analysing and modelling radiomic features. Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL)[utilising Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN)] are both part of the AI framework. In contrast to ML, DL is a new entrant and has been utilised by some medical researchers for modelling using prediction-type algorithms. Besides significantly reducing the workflow associated with Radiomics-based research, feature engineering and modelling using DL are immune to the effects of incorrect ROI delineation. However, the main limitation of DL is the 'blackbox' effect, in which the underlying basis of a CNN is not known. This has been mitigated in part by the visualisation of activation maps directly on the image dataset to prove biological plausibility of predictions. The comparative performance of both types of modelling is also not known. Our objective is to investigate pCR probability in our study population using radiomics-based ML and AI-based modelling. We will also investigate the comparative performance of both modelling techniques. For DL based prediction modelling, we will attempt to provide biological plausibility on the basis of activation maps.
Short and long outcomes of ESD are well described, particularly in Eastern series. However, the outcome of non-curative ESDs is scarcely reported in the west (particularly among non-gastric or submucosal lesions). Therefore, the aim of this project is to describe the European experience with non-curative ESDs, analysing all the consecutive ESDs performed in several reference centers, assessing the presence of residual lesion in the endoscopic follow-up or in the surgical specimen.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with Itraconazole in patients with locally adcvanced esophageal squamous cancer
