Filter by:Phase Ia: single-dose escalation study: accelerated titration combined with traditional "3+3" dose. Sample size is correlated with the DLT occurring in each dose group. 4 dose groups are expected; the first dose group is the accelerated titration group, which includes only 1 subject; subsequent dose groups are in traditional "3+3" dose increments, with 3-6 subjects in each group; a total of 10-19 subjects are expected in all dose groups. If the DLT is still not present in the highest dose ,the safety monitoring committee(SMC) to determine if it is necessary to continue incrementally to a higher dose.
Prediction for pCR After Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy Combined With Chemotherapy Using Single-Cell RNA Sequencing in Patients With Locally Advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Esophagus cancer patients are at risk for malnourishment. Feeding jejunostomy is used in advanced esophagus cancer patients in order to support and supplement the patient's nutrition needs. In dumping syndrome, the food is rapidly introduced into the intestine at a rate that is faster than normal, it is associated with both digestive system and vasoactive symptoms. Dumping syndrome has an association with both esophagus cancer patients and feeding jejunostomy. In the mid and long term, dumping syndrome is an important issue that contributes to the risk of malnourishment in advanced esophagus cancer patients. Acupuncture effect on digestive symptoms was widely investigated with effective abilities to regulate and reduce digestive symptoms. Acupuncture is also considered a safe intervention for cancer patients. A total of 60 advanced esophageal cancer patients will be divided into two equal groups, the intervention group (n=30) and the control groups (n=30). Patients in the Intervention group will receive acupuncture using the following acupoints: ST36 (Zusanli), ST37 (Shangjuxu), ST39 (Xiajuxu), PC6 (Neiguan), and LI4 (Hegu) liv 3 (Taichung). Patients and assessors will be blind to trial allocation. The patients in the Control group will receive shallow acupuncture on 12 non-acupoints (sham points). Both groups will receive acupuncture twice a week for 6 weeks. The main outcome measurements are body weight, BMI, the Sigstad's score and the Arts' dumping questionnaire, 3 and 6 months mortality.
This is a single-arm clinical trial that will evaluate the feasibility of a chemotherapy regimen adaptive, individualized dose escalation of 5-FU chemotherapy for patients who have good tolerance of the initial dose. Study participants will also receive oxaliplatin chemotherapy together with 5-FU, at standard doses. The goal of the study is to examine the feasibility and effectiveness of this approach, using individualized dose escalation of 5-FU in patients who do not have serious side effects at lower doses.
This study assesses for early signs of damage to the heart following chest radiation therapy using both imaging (cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and cardiac positron emission tomography) and changes in blood biomarkers. This study determines if any changes in the heart muscle can be detected either during the course of radiation therapy or shortly thereafter using specialized imaging techniques or blood tests. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging may be used to help provide information about changes in the heart structure and function following radiation therapy. Positron emission tomography looks at differences in how the heart takes up radioactive sugar which is injected into the vein to assess changes in heart function following radiation therapy. This study may help identify patients at risk of heart issues following radiation therapy to the chest and ultimately help in the development of more effective and safe treatments for cancer in the future.
Residual tumor at the proximal or distal margin after esophagectomy is a known prognostic factor for poor survival outcomes in patients with esophageal cancer; however, the significance of the circumferential resection margin (CRM) remains controversial. In this study, the investigators sought to evaluate the prognostic significance of the CRM in patients with esophageal cancer undergoing resection.
This is a single-arm, open, exploratory clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab combined with chemotherapy for adjuvant treatment of nodal positive thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Qizhu Yuling prescription for postoperative esophagus cancer.
It is reported that compared to chemotherapy alone, immunochemotherapy has significantly improved the overall survival of patients with advanced metastatic ESCC. However, there are still more than 30% of patients who cannot benefit from this treatment modality. In addition to these factors, the time-of-day infusion and administration sequence of immunochemotherapy have been reported to be associated with tumor responses and overall survival. In this study, The investigators aimed to explore the roles of infusion time and administration sequence of immunochemotherapy in predicting tumor responses and overall survival in patients with advanced ESCC.
