Filter by:This is an observational trial that will look at patients undergoing endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in patients with oesophageal cancer and to determine the proportion of cases in which EUS changes disease management in these patients.
Patients diagnosed with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) that is deemed unresectable face a bleak prognosis. Recent phase 1/2 studies have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of augmenting neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy with immunotherapy in treating resectable ESCC. The present study is a prospective, 3-arm, randomized trial that seeks to evaluate the efficacy of diverse conversion therapy modalities in patients with unresectable ESCC. The study objectives include R0 resection rate, treatment-related adverse events, morbidity and mortality, 1-year progression-free survival (PFS), and 1-year overall survival (OS) rates. Tislelizumab is a humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody with high affinity/specificity for programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1). Tislelizumab was specifically engineered to minimize binding to FcɤR on macrophages, thereby abrogating antibody-dependent phagocytosis, a potential mechanism of T-cell clearance and resistance to anti-PD-1 therapy. This trial will provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of the three conversion therapy modalities and help to inform clinical decision-making for patients with unresectable locally advanced ESCC.
The purpose of the study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of exercise "prehabilitation" for patients preparing for esophageal cancer resection (removal).
Elderly or malnourished patients diagnosed with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) had poor prognosis. Radiotherpy was an important and effective treatment in treating ESCC. The present study is a one-arm trial that seeks to evaluate the efficacy in patients with unresectable ESCC. The study objectives include R0 resection rate, complete pathological response and treatment toxicity, etc. Nimotuzumab is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody against EGFR. Its efficacy and safety in patients with esophageal cancer have been confirmed by many studies. The current prospective phase II study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a combination regimen comprising chemotherapy with nimotuzumab with a dose of 800mg per week and S-1 and concurrent radiotherapy for patients who are elderly or malnourished.
Although unprecedented advances have been made in the field of esophageal cancer in recent decades, the prognosis for patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains extremely poor, accounting for 30-40% of overall survival at 5 year. In recent years, multimodal treatments have proven to be an appropriate therapeutic approach for locally advanced ESCC. Recently, immunotherapy developed rapidly. The purpose of this study was to observe the efficacy and safety of cardonilizumab combined with chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced ESCC.
To evaluate the initial efficacy and safety of paclitaxel for injection (albumin-bound) in combination with apatinib mesylate and adebrelimab in the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic gastric/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma following the progression of previous immunotherapy.
The study examines the diagnostic precision of endosonography, mpMRI and PET/CT in defining tumor boundaries and tumor spread before and after neoadjuvant therapy and definitive surgery.
This study is a prospective, open-label, two-arm exploratory Phase II clinical trial aimed at observing and evaluating the efficacy and safety of combined therapy with cadonilimab and fruquintinib in conjunction with paclitaxel-albumin as second-line treatment for advanced gastric/esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma. Patients meeting the inclusion criteria were divided into two groups based on whether they had received PD-1/L1 antibody treatment in the first line: Group A (immunotherapy-naive group - patients who had previously failed standard chemotherapy in the first line) and Group B (immunotherapy rechallenge group - patients who had previously failed PD-1/L1 antibody combined chemotherapy in the first line). All patients received combined therapy with cadonilimab and fruquintinib in conjunction with paclitaxel-albumin until intolerable toxic reactions occurred, disease progression, withdrawal of informed consent by the subject, loss to follow-up, death, other conditions judged by the investigator to require termination of treatment, or termination of the study, whichever occurred first. The maximum duration of paclitaxel-albumin treatment was 6 cycles, and cadonilimab treatment did not exceed 1 year. Clinical tumor imaging evaluations were conducted every 8 weeks during treatment using RECIST v1.1 criteria, and safety assessments were performed using CTCAE 5.0, recording adverse events within 30 days from the first dose to the end of treatment.
We intend to conduct a prospective single-arm clinical study to explore the efficacy and safety of immunochemotherapy in neoadjuvant therapy in elderly patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Most previous randomized controlled studies (such as the 5010 study) have excluded older patients ≥70 years of age. However, in the real world, elderly patients with esophageal cancer account for a large number of patients, and elderly people have many complications and poor tolerance to treatment, which limits the application of synchronous chemoradiotherapy in this group. There is no standard treatment plan for patients over 70 years old, and the purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness and safety of neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy in the treatment of this group of elderly people.
The investigators conduct this phase II study to evaluate safety and effectiveness of EGCG in patients with dysphagia. Swallowing-related dysphagia and pain scores were recorded using the numerical rating scale (NRS) daily . Barium meal radiography was utilized to measure the luminal size and the length of the lesion area both before and after a week of EGCG treatment. The scales are translated into Chinese and guides in Chinese are developed instructing how to use the scales and perform the assessments.
