Filter by:A Phase Ib/II, open label, multi-center, randomized study designed to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary anti-tumor activity of immunotherapy-based treatment combinations in patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic G/GEJ cancer (hereafter referred to as gastric cancer) and esophageal cancer. Two cohorts of patients with gastric cancer have been enrolled in parallel in this study: the second-line (2L) Gastric Cancer Cohort consists of patients with gastric cancer who have progressed after receiving a platinum-containing or fluoropyrimide-containing chemotherapy regimen in the first-line setting, and the first-line (1L) Gastric Cancer Cohort consists of patients with gastric cancer who have not received prior chemotherapy in this setting. In each cohort, eligible patients will be assigned to one of several treatment arms. Additionally, a cohort of patients with esophageal cancer who have not received prior systemic treatment for their disease will be enrolled in this study. Eligible patients will be randomized to chemotherapy or the combination of chemotherapy with checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy.
This study evaluates the role of socioeconomic and individual factors in the onset of the first symptoms of cancer and the first consultation with a doctor (patient delay) in oeso-gastric cancer.
This study will investigate the effectiveness of a rehabilitation program in improving sleep quality, emotional distress, circadian rhythms, and quality of life in patients with esophageal cancer in Taiwan. Hypothesis: 1. The quality of life in exercise group is significant improving than usual-care group at 3rd, 6th, 12th, 24th, and 36th month. 2. The quality of sleep in exercise group is significant improving than usual-care group at 3rd, 6th, 12th, 24th, and 36th month. 3. The emotional distress in exercise group is significant improving than usual-care group at 3rd, 6th, 12th, 24th, and 36th month. 4. The circadian rhythms in exercise group is significant improving than usual-care group at 3rd, 6th, 12th, 24th, and 36th month.
This randomized pilot clinical trial studies health care coach support in reducing acute care use and cost in patients with cancer. Health care coach support may help cancer patients to make decisions about their care that matches what is important to them with symptom management.
This study is a phase Ib, open label, multi-centre trial designed to estimate the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of lithium when combined with a standard chemotherapy regimen of oxaliplatin and capecitabine in patients with advanced, unresectable, oesophago-gastric or colorectal cancer who have received no previous treatment for advanced disease (previous adjuvant or neo-adjuvant treatment is acceptable if completed at least 6 months prior to registration). The study follows a modified Fibonacci, 3+3, dose escalation design. Patients are enrolled in cohorts of 3. All three patients in each cohort must complete at least two cycles of treatment to be evaluable for toxicity. If a patient cannot complete 2 cycles, another patient will be enrolled.
Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) have become increasingly popular in esophageal cancer. It is generally accepted that comparing to open resections, MIE results in decreased postoperative pain, faster recovery times, and shorter hospital stays with comparable oncologic outcomes. However, MIE poses an important challenge for established thoracic surgeons as it is a difficult technique to become skilled at with an protracted learning curve. Standard laparoscopic and thoracoscopic instruments are rigid and provide a finite freedom of movement with a two dimensional visualization of the operating field. Such a difficulty is increased even more when the Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy with an intrathoracic anastomosis is needed. Robot- assisted surgical system has opened a new era of minimally invasive surgery. Robot- assisted surgery offers some advantages including high- definition three- dimensional visualization and 7 degrees of freedom with the use of its surgical wrists, motion scaling, and tremor filtration, allowing the surgeon to perform complex operations comfortably in the domain of urinary tract, hepatobiliary and gynecological surgery. Although a robot-assisted thoraco- laparoscopic minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) was initiated from 2003, the published experience with RAMIE remains small, especially for Ivor- Lewis approaches. The aim of this study was to investigate the short- term and long-term outcomes of RAILE to identify any clinical or oncologic benefits of RAILE in esophageal cancer.
This study will investigate the safety and tolerability of MAGE-A4ᶜ¹º³²T cell therapy in subjects who have the appropriate HLA-A2 tissue marker and whose urinary bladder, melanoma, head and neck, ovarian, non-small cell lung, esophageal, gastric, synovial sarcoma, or myxoid/round call liposarcoma (MRCLS) tumor has the MAGE-A4 protein expressed. This study will take a subject's T cells and give them a T cell receptor protein that recognizes and attacks the tumors. This study has a substudy component that will investigate the safety and tolerability of MAGE-A4c1032T cell therapy in combination with low dose radiation in up to 10 subjects.
Evaluate mFOLFOX6 (5-Fluorouracil, Leucovorin and Oxaliplatin) chemotherapy as induction treatment prior to standard neoadjuvant chemoradiation to decrease the rate of distant recurrence among patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer.
This clinical study is looking at a drug called LY3143921 hydrate (a Cdc7 inhibitor) in adult patients with advanced solid tumours. The main aims are to find out the maximum dose of LY3143921 hydrate that can be given safely to patients, more about the potential side effects and how they can be treated
Caffeic acid can target inhibit GASC1 (gene amplified in squamous cell carcinoma 1, also known as KDM4C and JMJD2C) expression and GASC1 is confirmed to be a new oncogene in several cancers including esophageal cancer. This study aims to investigate the efficiency and safety of coffeic acid in chinese advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC).
