Filter by:This study is to identify potential biomarkers for the early detection of Barrett's Esophagus, esophageal carcinoma (both adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma), and gastric cancer via sponge cytology.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of treatment with definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) + pembrolizumab (MK-3475) compared to treatment with dCRT + placebo with respect to Event-free Survival (EFS) and Overall Survival (OS) in: - participants whose tumors express Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) Combined Positive Score (CPS) ≥10 - participants whose tumors express PD-L1 CPS ≥1 - all participants The primary study hypotheses are that dCRT+ pembrolizumab is better than dCRT + placebo with respect to: - EFS in participants whose tumors express PD-L1 CPS ≥10 - EFS in participants whose tumors express PD-L1 CPS ≥1 - EFS in all participants - OS in participants whose tumors express PD-L1 CPS ≥10 - OS in participants whose tumors express PD-L1 CPS ≥1 - OS in all participants
This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of VE800 in combination with nivolumab in patients with selected types of advanced or metastatic cancer
This phase II clinical study is designed to evaluate the 1 year local tumor control rates after the targeted therapy of intensity-modulated radiation therapy synchronized chemotherapy with nimotuzumab combined with S-1 in local advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinomas based on Nutritional Risk Screening NRS2002.
This is a prospective cohort study on the effect of Andrographis Paniculata (AP) on palliative management of patients with advanced or metastatic esophageal cancer. A total of 30 patients with locally advanced or metastatic squamous esophageal cancer will be recruited for the trial.
This is a retrospective, multicenter, non-interventional study for the evaluation of real-world efficacy and safety of ramucirumab plus paclitaxel in gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma as part of the establishment of hospital medical record collection system to evaluate drug effectiveness by Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service (HIRA). The medical records in approximately 1400 patients with locally-advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, who have received ramucirumab plus paclitaxel combination therapy will be collected.
Upper GI malignancies often lead to involuntary weight loss and nutritional deficits. Nutritional support, both pre- and postoperatively, may improve post-operative course and reduce length of hospital stay. This prospective randomized trial aims to investigate the above mentioned hypothesis and clarify any variants that may differ between the investigation and control group at a statistically significant level.
The MA-PPING is a multicenter prospective observational study that includes patients undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal cancer. The study aims to map the oral and gut microbiome of patients diagnosed with pancreatic, esophageal or colorectal cancer during their surgical patient journey from the moment of diagnosis until full recovery (three months after surgery).
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness, of three hospitalized patient care strategies in relation to disease-related malnutrition (DRM) hospital admissions based on results such as length of stay of the index admission, and from admission until one year after admission, mortality rate, appearance of complications, changes in weight and nutritional state, changes in their health related quality of life and functional status, readmissions, use of health services resources (primary care, hospital and emergency consultations) and costs. Methodology: Intervention study involving three hospitals with three branches in which, after nutritional screening in all centers, the first branch / hospital includes a intervention strategy for nutritional improvement in patients who after screening are identified as having DRE or at risk of DRE, and follow-up of other patients; a second cohort / hospital will include similar patients in which if there is any nutritional intervention it will be carried out by demand of the medical staff in charge of the patient; and a third branch /hospital in which the usual practice of the center will be followed without any explicit intervention. Subjects of the study: At least 300 patients in each center admitted to the digestive services, due to digestive pathologies, and surgery services due to tumor and digestive system pathologies. In all patients, sociodemographic and clinical data will be collected and of the outcomes described above during admission and until the year of follow-up. Statistical analysis: through appropriate multiple regression models for each outcome variable and with adjustments through propensity scores to compare the three centers based on each outcome parameter. A cost-effectiveness analysis will be carried out through of the incremental cost for each year of quality-adjusted life (QALY) .
This is a phase 1 study to determine the feasibility and utility of using serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess treatment response during and after radiation therapy (standard of care cancer treatment) for participants with advanced esophageal cancer, glioblastoma, prostate cancer, vulvar cancer or pediatric glioma. The research study procedures include three MRI scans (one before, one during, and one after standard of care cancer radiation therapy) for participants with advanced esophageal cancer, glioblastoma, prostate cancer, vulvar cancer or pediatric glioma. The research study procedures include: - Screening for eligibility - Three MRI scans
