Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well amiodarone works in the prevention of atrial fibrillation (AF) after a minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) in patients with esophageal cancer. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an irregular heart rhythm, usually associated with a rapid rate, that is caused by abnormal electrical activity within the atria. AF is the most common complication after MIE for esophageal cancer. There has never been a study of AF after MIE that has used unbiased assignment of patients to receive preventative amiodarone or not. Further, there is no standard recommendation or guideline for preventative medications, such as amiodarone, to decrease the risk of AF in patients having MIE performed for cancer. In fact, most medical centers in the United States and around the world do not give preventative amiodarone after esophagectomy. Giving amiodarone after MIE surgery may be able to reduce the risk of AF for patients with esophageal cancer.
This study was conducted in elderly (≥70 years old) patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Aim to find the difference in efficacy and safety between tirilizumab combined with concurrent chemoradiation and standard concurrent chemoradiation. Concurrent chemoradiation is the standard treatment for elderly esophageal cancer. Tirelizumab is the first-line and second-line standard treatment for advanced esophageal squamous carcinoma. However, the effect of tirilizumab combined with concurrent chemoradiation for elder with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is unkown. In the study, the investigators plan to enroll 136 elderly subjects with locally advanced esophageal cancer from five hospitals in China. The enrolled patients will be randomly divided into two groups: tirilizumab combined with concurrent chemoradiation group (Tislelizumab + radiotherapy + tigio) and concurrent chemoradiation group (radiotherapy + tigio). The treatment efficiency and safety will be evaluated.
Observational prospective cohort study designed to assess the mechanisms of fluoropyrimidine induced cardiovascular toxicity.
This is a single-arm, open, dose-increasing phase I clinical study to explore the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic characteristics of the drug C-13-60 cells, and preliminarily observe the efficacy of the drug in CEA positive late malignant solid tumors, and explore the applicable dose regimen for phase II clinical trials.
This study will assess the efficacy, safety, optimal dose and ADA and NAbs development of TRK-950 at two separate dose levels in combination with ramucirumab and paclitaxel (RAM+PTX) as compared with RAM + PTX treatment alone in participants with gastric or gastro-esophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the use of CPAP in patients with esophgaeal cancer undergoing radiotherapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: - does use of CPAP decrease exposure of normal lung to radiation? - does use of CPAP decrease exposure of normal heart to radiation? Participants will undergo simulation twice: - with CPAP - without CPAP
The goal of this observational study is to screen and differentiate common cancers in participants with or without suspicious lesions. The main question the investigators aim to answer is: Can the developed model, using peripheral blood cell-free DNA sequencing, work well in screening and classifying common cancers especially in the early stages? Participants will undergo the collection of 15~20ml of blood and 1~2 telephone follow-up calls.
This is a patient registry for all cases of pre-neoplastic or early neoplastic digestive tract lesions treated with curative intention by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) technique.
The main goal of this study is to investigate the histopathological regression rate in patients with locally advanced gastric and gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma without previous treatment who will be prospectively randomized into two groups to undergo one of two chemotherapy regimens, followed by surgery: 1. 8 cycles of Total Neoadjuvant ChemoTherapy (TNT) with 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), Leucovorin, Oxaliplatin and Docetaxel (FLOT) followed by surgery. 2. 4 cycles of Neoadjuvant FLOT chemotherapy scheme preoperatively and 4 adjuvant FLOT cycles postoperatively.
The goal of this research study is to investigate the feasibility of implementing a prehabilitation program that aims to improve a patient's physical, nutritional, and sleep health before surgery in an older, at-risk group with esophageal cancer.
