Filter by:Guanabana, known also as Graviola or Annona muricata is a tropical fruit which has been commonly used as complimentary/alternative medicine in Latin American countries. The main compounds in Graviola are the annonaceous acetogenins. These acetogenins have been shown to be selective and toxic against various types of cancer cells in-vitro and in-vivo experimental animal models. In spite of this evidence of anti tumor activity of Graviola, no prospective clinical studies have been carried out to determine if it also has clinical activity.The Investigator have observed two patients at Auxilio Mutuo Cancer Center who experienced significant tumor shrinkage while taking a tea made of Graviola leaves. Neither of these patients were taking any other treatment for their cancer. The investigator propose to conduct a study using guanabana leaves extract in patients with Gastroesophageal junction(GEJ) adenocarcinoma, as well as in Gastric adenocarcinoma, Hepatocellular carcinoma, Pancreatic adenocarcinoma, Low Grade Lymphomas and Colorectal adenocarcinoma.
For patients with advanced/metastatic gastric adenocarcinomas in progression after a first line chemotherapy comprising platinum and fluoropyrimidine, the reported second line treatments are : 1) paclitaxel combined with ramucirumab (overall response rate (ORR) = 25%; median progression free survival (PFS) = 2.9 months; median overall survival (OS)= 5.9 months), or paclitaxel alone (ORR = 14%, median PFS = 2.9 months; median OS= 5.9 months); 2) docetaxel (ORR = 7%, median OS = 5.2 months) or 3) irinotecan (ORR = 0%, median OS= 4.0 months). These numbers demonstrate the poor prognosis of this disease, and the unmet medical need for innovative therapeutic strategies. Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) mapped a genomic landscape of gastric adenocarcinomas, and identified 4 sub-types: - Tumor positive for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) (8%), which display recurrent PIK3CA mutations, extreme DNA hypermethylation, and amplification of JAK2, ErbB2, PD-L1 and PD-L2; - Microsatellite instable tumors (MSI-high) (22%), which show elevated mutation rates, including mutations of genes encoding targetable oncogenic signaling proteins (PIK3CA, ErbB2, ErbB3, and EGFR); - Genomically stable tumors (20%), which are enriched for the diffuse histological variant and mutations of RHOA or fusions involving RHO-family GTPase-activating proteins; - Tumors with chromosomal instability (50%), which show marked aneuploidy and focal amplification of receptor tyrosine kinases and VEGFA. Most of diffuse-type gastric adenocarcinomas were classified in genomically stable tumors. This subgroup of cancers, accounting for about 20 to 30% of gastric adenocarcinomas, is associated with particularly poor prognosis and resistance to chemotherapy. A proteomic landscape of diffuse-type gastric adenocarcinomas was recently reported. Pembrolizumab, an anti-PDL1 drug granted with an accelerated approval by FDA in September 2017, exhibited promising activity in gastric adenocarcinoma patients previously treated with 1 or 2 lines of chemotherapy (ORR=11.6%, median PFS = 2.0 months, median OS= 5.6 months), especially in those with PDL1 positive tumors (ORR=22.7%). The tumor response was particularly high in patients with MSI-high tumor (ORR=57.1%). However the preliminary outcomes of the phase III KEYNOTE-061 trial (NCT02370498) recently released in the press suggest that pembrolizumab was not superior to paclitaxel in 592 patients with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma whose disease progressed after first-line treatment with platinum and fluoropyrimidine doublet therapy (the hazard ratio (HR) for OS was 0.82 (95% confidence interval = 0.66-1.03; one sided P = .042) (http://www.ascopost.com/News/58377). These outcomes suggest that, although being very promising, immunotherapy should be combined to other agents for being fully effective in gastric adenocarcinomas patients. We propose a strategy based on molecular features to select the drugs that will be associated with atezolizumab, an anti-PDL1 drug, in patients with pre-treated advanced gastric adenocarcinomas: - Patients with tumors positive for EBV or microsatellite instable tumors (30%) will be treated with atezolizumab and ipatasertib. - Patients with genomically stable tumors (20%) will be treated with atezolizumab combined with bevacizumab. - Patients with tumors with chromosomal instability (50%) will be treated with atezolizumab combined with bevacizumab. Expected outcomes: IMMUNOGAST trial will provide data about the clinical feasibility of biomolecular characterization of gastric adenocarcinomas for routine treatment adjustment. Moreover it should generate information about the relevance of adjusting combined immunotherapies based on molecular subtypes, in terms of clinical efficacy. Finally, translational research project outcomes should provide important data about relationships between efficacy and tumor immune gene spatial expression, along with tumor and circulating mutational burden. These outcomes may help identify the best candidates for tested combinations in the future.
An open, multicenter, phase Ib/II study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of CT041 autologous CAR T-cell injection in patients with advanced gastric/ gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma and pancreatic cancer
Background: Some people have a mutation in the CDH1 gene that is known to lead to stomach cancer. They are advised to get regular endoscopies with biopsies even if their stomach appears normal. The endoscopy method currently used is called the 'Cambridge Method.' Researchers want to test a new method called the 'Bethesda Protocol.' Objective: To compare the Cambridge Method and Bethesda Protocol and find out which is more efficient in catching early signs of cancer. Eligibility: Adults age 18 and older who have a mutation in the CDH1 gene. Design: Participants will be screened with a review of their medical history, medical records, and physical status. Participants will be put into group 1 (Bethesda Protocol) or group 2 (Cambridge Method). Participants will have a physical exam. They will have endoscopy. For this, they will be put under general anesthesia. They will wear compression cuffs around their legs to prevent blood clots. A lighted tube will be inserted into their mouth and go down to their stomach. For group 1 participants, 88 pieces of tissue will be taken from 22 areas of their stomach. For group 2 participants, 30 pieces of tissue will be taken from 6 areas of their stomach. Then group 2 will be injected with a contrast dye. A microscope will be inserted, and more samples will be taken. About 14 days later, participants will have a follow-up visit or phone call. They may give stool samples every 3 to 6 months for 12 months for research purposes. Participants may have another endoscopy 6-18 months later.
This trial studies tucatinib to find out if it is safe when given with trastuzumab and other anti-cancer drugs (pembrolizumab, FOLFOX, and CAPOX). It will look at what side effects happen when participants take this combination of drugs. A side effect is anything the drug does other than treating cancer. It will also look at whether tucatinib works with these drugs to treat certain types of cancer. The participants in this trial have HER2-positive (HER2+) cancer in their gut, stomach, intestines, or gallbladder (gastrointestinal cancer).
The registry aims to collect and analyse information on the antineoplastic treatment of patients with metastatic esophageal, gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer, treated in palliative intention in daily routine practice in Germany.
Feasibility study to investigate the utility of a simple, home-based, exercise intervention during and after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy but prior to surgery for esophageal and gastric adenocarcinoma.
Preclinical studies have shown that Toripalimab and Nivolumab and Pembrolizumab have similar safety but better in vivo efficacy than target monoclonal antibody candidates with different sequence characteristics.In addition, apatinib mesylate is a small-molecule drug that can target VEGFR and is itself a powerful therapeutic drug for gastric cancer, so we designed a clinical trial of apatinib combined with toripalimab monoclonal antibody.The study focused on 12 month OS rate, progression-free survival (PFS), clinical objective response rate (ORR), and drug safety.The study was an open, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial with a 1:1 distribution of trial and control groups.It is expected that 58 people will be included in the experimental group and 58 people in the control group.
Gastric cancer is a global health issue as the world's fifth most common malignancy and third leading cause of cancer mortality, respectively. Preoperative radiation therapy may improve overall survival (OS) but is seldom used. There is precedent for preoperative chemoradiation, as it is the standard of care for esophageal and gastroesophageal junction tumors. However, reluctance of physicians to prescribe preoperative radiation therapy in gastric cancer may be due to the large treatment fields necessary to account for stomach motion. Adaptive radiation therapy may permit decreased field sizes and more accurate dose delivery. In traditional CT based radiation delivery the same radiation plan is delivered each day without assessment of inter-fraction or intra-fraction motion. Adaptive radiation therapy permits the physician to contour the unique anatomy daily to generate a new plan to account for day to day organ motion. Real-time MR imaging is also used during the treatment so that radiation is only delivered when the tumor is within the pre-specified target area. Thus, adaptive radiation therapy may overcome traditional barriers of radiation delivery in gastric cancer and improve oncologic outcomes.
