Filter by:This is a randomized, controlled, multi-center, open trial, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients that failed at least second-line treatment and overexpressed EGFR were enrolled and randomly assigned to the experimental group and control group at a 1: 1 ratio.,who received Larotinib and the chemotherapy regimen chosen by the investigator (Irinotecan Hydrochloride Injection or Tegafur Gimeracil Oteracil Potassium Capsule),respecitively. Subjects are administered until disease progression assessed by the RECIST V1.1 standard (unless the investigator evaluates that the subject continues to have clinical benefit from continuing treatment, the subject may be allowed to continue treatment), and begins to receive new anti-tumor treatment, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of informed consent, or other conditions that meet the criteria for terminating trial treatment / withdrawal from the trial. The research phase of this study is divided into pre-screening period (~ D-28), screening period (D-28 ~ D-1), treatment period, treatment end visit (± 7 days after the last dose), safety follow-up ( Until 28 ± 7 days after the last dose) and survival follow-up.
Esophageal cancer is still a serious threat to human life and health. China in particular. Relapse and metastasis are important causes of treatment failure. Immunotherapy is a new treatment method, which can be used in combination with chemotherapy to improve the therapeutic effect. However, the role of immunotherapy combined with chemoradiotherapy in concurrent chemoradiotherapy of recurrent esophageal cancer has not been clearly studied. Our team will study it in detail. The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze the effect of Camrelizumab in concurrent chemoradiotherapy of locally recurrent esophageal cancer.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping with ICG dye and NIR imaging can be used to identify esophageal or esophagogastric junction cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes. If SLN mapping is successful in these types of cancer, surgeons in the future could identify the sentinel lymph nodes and only remove these instead of removing all the lymph nodes which is currently done.
This phase I trial studies the side effects of OBP-301 when given together with carboplatin, paclitaxel, and radiation therapy in treating patients with esophageal or gastroesophageal cancer that invades local or regional structures. OBP-301 is a virus that has been designed to infect and destroy tumor cells (although there is a small risk that it can also infect normal cells). Chemotherapy drugs, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, 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. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving OBP-301 with chemotherapy and radiation therapy may work better than standard chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with esophageal or gastroesophageal cancer.
China is a country with a large incidence of esophageal cancer. The prevalence and mortality rate of esophageal cancer in China ranks fifth in the world. However, due to China's huge population base, new patients with esophageal cancer and deaths account for about 55% of the world. This study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of Camrelizumab Combined With Concurrent Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy for Treatment of Patients With Local Recurrence of Esophageal Cancer.
Evaluate the potential role of PET/MRI as a predictor of esophageal and junctional cancers in response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT).
Aerodigestive tract cancers are common malignancies. These cancers were ranked to be top-ten cancer-related deaths in Taiwan. Although many new target therapies and immunotherapies have emerged, many of the treatment eventually fail. For example, a 30-40% failure rate has been reported for target therapy, and, even higher for immune checkpoint inhibitors. A reliable model to more accurately predict treatment response and survival is warranted. The radiomic features extracted from F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) can be used to figure tumor biology such as metabolome and heterogeneity. It can therefore be used to predict treatment response and individual survival. On the other hand, genomic data derived from next-generation sequencing (NGS) can interrogate the genetic alteration of cancer cells. It can be used to feature genetic identification of the tumor and can also be used to identify target genes. However, both modalities have their weakness; a combination of the two may devise a more powerful predictive model for more precise clinical decision. The investigators plan to recruit patients aged at least 20-year with the diagnosis of aerodigestive tract cancers for radiogenomic study. Our previous studies have found that radiomic features derived from 18F-FDG PET can predict treatment response and survival in patients with esophageal cancer treated with tri-modality method. The investigators also discovered that radiomics could predict survival in patients with EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma treated with target therapy. In addition, our study results showed that the level of PD-L1 expression is associated with radiomics as well. The investigators plan to add genomic data into radiomics and interrogate cancers from different aspects. The investigators seek to devise a more precise model to predict the treatment response and survival in patients with aerodigestive tract cancers.
BACKGROUND: For patients with esophageal cancer, radical esophagectomy with 2-field lymphadenectomy is the cornerstone of the multimodality treatment with curative intent. Both, conventional minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) and robot assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) were shown to be superior compared to open transthoracic esophagectomy considering postoperative complications. However, no randomized comparison was made until now to compare MIE to RAMIE OBJECTIVES: The objective is to evaluate the extent of lymph node dissection, efficacy, risks, quality of life and cost-effectiveness of RAMIE as an alternative to MIE as treatment for esophageal adenocarcinoma or adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction.. METHODS: This is an investigator-initiated and investigator-driven multicenter randomized controlled parallel-group, superiority trial. All adult patients (age ≥18 and ≤ 90 years) with histologically proven, surgically resectable (cT1-4a, N0-3, M0) adenocarcinoma of the intrathoracic esophagus or adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction with European Clinical Oncology Group performance status 0, 1 or 2 will be assessed for eligibility and included after obtaining informed consent. Patients (n=218) are randomized at the outpatient department to either RAMIE (n=109) or MIE (n=109). The primary outcome of this study is the total number of resected lymph nodes according to the TIGER classification for esophageal cancer lymphadenectomy. CONCLUSION: This is the first randomized controlled trial designed to compare RAMIE to MIE as surgical treatment for resectable adenocarcinoma of the intrathoracic esophagus or adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction in the Western World. If our hypothesis is proven correct, RAMIE will result in a better lymph node dissection compared to conventional MIE. The study started in September 2019. Follow up will be 5 years. Short term results will be analyzed and published after discharge of the last randomized patient.
The study will assess the performance of the combined system, i.e., the use of the EsoGuard assay (lab developed test) on cells collected using the EsoCheck (501k cleared device) to detect Barrett's Esophagus (BE), with or without dysplasia, and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) as compared to Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) plus biopsies in both confirmed cases of BE/EAC and in controls (subjects without a prior diagnosis but undergoing screening for BE/EAC)
This phase I/II clinical study is designed to evaluate the 1 year local tumor control rate of chemoradiotherapy using albumin-bound paclitaxel and cisplatin in unresectable esophageal squamous cell carcinomas based on Nutritional Risk Screening NRS2002.
