Filter by:Background: Although its incidence and mortality has decreased, gastric cancer (GC) is the fourth most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, particularly in China. The number of new cases and deaths may comprise approximately one-half of the global total. The high mortality of GC is partially attributed to late detection and nonspecific symptoms. The current gold standard for diagnosing GC is endoscopic biopsy. However, because of its discomfort to the patient and high cost, screening for early GC (EGC) is a major difficulty in clinical practice, particularly for asymptomatic individuals. Unfortunately, gastric precursor lesions such as intestinal metaplasia (IM), chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG), and persistent Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection increase the difficulty of screening for EGC. Furthermore, the standard serum biomarkers for GC, such as CEA, CA72-4, and CA19-9 achieve a low positive rate. Thus, it is critically important to develop new approaches for diagnosing EGC with high specificity and sensitivity. Objective: To study circulating exosomal lncRNA-GC1 as a potential biomarker for detection of gastric cancer. Eligibility: Participants from two medical centers in China Design: Investigators will use blood samples from participants in the two medical centers. Investigators will use samples from some who developed gastric cancer. The other samples will be from some who stayed cancer free in that time. Participants already gave written informed consent. Investigators will take exosomes from the samples and look for lncRNA-GC1.
This is a single-arm, multi-center phase II clinical study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Max-40279-01 in Patients With advanced gastric cancer or gastroesophageal junction cancer.
This study is an open-label, phase II study with a safety lead-in to assess the response rate of induction olaparib and stereotactic beam radiotherapy (SBRT) followed by combination olaparib/pembrolizumab in patients with metastatic gastric and GEJ cancers after at least one of therapy.
Gastric cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis has a poor prognosis, with little treatment options available. The current treatment strategy consists of palliative systemic chemotherapy. However, previous research suggests that systemic chemotherapy is less effective against peritoneal carcinomatosis than against metastases that spread hematogenously. Several studies suggested that in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis, intraperitoneal chemotherapy (IP) may be superior compared to intravenous chemotherapy. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy could lead to higher concentrations of chemotherapy in the peritoneal cavity for a longer period of time, resulting in an increased cumulative exposure to the peritoneal metastases. A few Asian studies have shown promising results with intraperitoneal chemotherapy in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis of gastric origin. However, intraperitoneal chemotherapy combined with systemic chemotherapy has not been investigated in Western patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis of gastric origin yet. The objective of this trial is to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of intraperitoneal administration of irinotecan, added to systemic capecitabine/oxaliplatin (CAPOX) in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis of gastric origin.
This is a Phase 1, open-label, 2-part, multi-center study evaluating the safety, tolerability, PK, pharmacodynamics (PD), immunogenicity, and antitumor activity of CUE-102 intravenous (IV) monotherapy in HLA-A*0201 positive patients with WT1 positive recurrent/metastatic solid tumors who have failed conventional therapies.
This study intends to explore feasibility, acceptability, and outcomes related to the use of a digital health coaching intervention for individuals who have completed primary therapy for cancer. Up to 500 individuals with diverse cancer diagnoses will be enrolled across up to 5 clinical sites to participate in a randomized wait-list control study. Those in the intervention group will receive 6 months of digital coaching up front followed by 6 months of ongoing monitoring via patient reported and clinical outcomes, as well as wearable data. Those in the control group will be monitored via patient reported and clinical outcomes as well as wearable data for the first 6 months followed by 6 months of digital health coaching. Both groups will collect fecal microbiome samples at enrollment and month 6. The study aims to explore if and how digital health coaching may be used to enhance outcomes for individuals following completion of primary cancer therapy.
There are Billroth-I, Billroth-II, Billroth-II with Braun, and Roux-en-Y reconstruction after distal gastrectomy. Hypothesis: Billroth-II modified method is non-inferior to Roux-en-Y method in terms of reducing reflux esophagitis after distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer patients.
The main objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of bemarituzumab in combination with other anti-cancer therapies, and to evaluate the efficacy of bemarituzumab in combination with S-1 and oxaliplatin (SOX) and nivolumab as assessed by objective response.
Rationale: Esophageal cancer and gastric cancer are among the top ten most common cancers worldwide. Both diseases have major impact on the nutritional status of patients and their quality of life. Studies investigating post-operative nutritional status are limited and postoperative identification and treatment of micro- and macronutritional deficiencies are currently lacking in (inter-)national guidelines. Objective: To identify and target vitamin deficiencies after surgery for esophagogastric neoplasms. Study design: Single centre intervention study. Study population: Patients aged 18 years and older that underwent esophagectomy or (sub- )total gastrectomy for esophagogastric neoplasms. Intervention (if applicable): Two tailormade supplements for patients; one for that underwent esophagectomy and one for (sub-)total gastrectomy. Main study parameters/endpoints: Baseline micronutrient deficiency measurements and after 6, 12, 24 months supplementation,. Secondary study parameters/ endpoints: Occurrence of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (n,%), occurrence of diarrhoea (n,%), steatorrhea (n,%), bloating (n,%), time between surgery and start of supplementation (mean in months), quality of life experienced (questionnaires) at baseline and after 6, 12, 24 months supplementation. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: In this study, no health-related risks are present for participants due to the administration of supplementation that is already used as in clinical practice.
The PIPAC NAL-IRI study is designed to examine the maximal tolerated dose of nanoliposomal irinotecan (Nal-IRI, Onivyde) administered with repeated pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC), in a monocentric, phase I trial.
