Filter by:Objective: To follow people with GISTs and collect tumor tissue so that it can be studied in the lab. Eligibility: People age 6 and older who have a GIST. Design: Participants will be screened with a review of their medical records and samples. Participants will enroll in 1 other NIH study, and may be asked to enroll in 2 other optional NIH studies. Participants will have a medical history and physical exam. Data about how they function in their daily activities will be obtained. Participants may speak with a genetic counselor. They may have genetic testing. Participants will give blood samples. They may have a cheek swab. For this, small brush will be rubbed against the inside of the cheek. Participants may have a computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. Or they may have a CT scan of the chest and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the abdomen and pelvis. Participants will be monitored every 6-12 months at the NIH Clinical Center, for up to 10 years before having surgery. If they need surgery, it will be performed at the NIH. Then, they will be monitored every 6-12 months, for up to 5 years after surgery. If a participant has surgery, tumor tissue samples will be taken. If a participant does not need surgery, their participation will end after 10 years. If they have surgery, the 5-year monitoring period will restart after each surgery.
Background: Approximately 15% of gastric adenocarcinoma patients presents with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) at the first encounter and is regarded as an unresectable and end-stage disease. The recommended treatment with palliative chemotherapy alone yields a poor clinical efficacy. Emerging evidences suggest the survival benefits of complete cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with normothermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (N-IPEC) for gastric adenocarcinoma with limited PC. Objective: To evaluate the 6-month disease control rate (DCR) of complete CRS combined with N-IPEC and systemic chemotherapy for gastric adenocarcinoma with limited PC. Patients and methods: Patients having gastric adenocarcinoma with PCI ≤ 10 (Arm-A) or positive peritoneal wash cytology (CY1/P0) (Arm-B) will be enrolled. Patients with other distant metastasis, including brain, lung, liver, bone, will be excluded. All patients should undergo ≥ D2 gastrectomy and complete CRS followed by N-IPEC (paclitaxel] and systemic chemotherapy (high-dose fluorouracil and cisplatin [P-HDFL], or capecitabine and oxaliplatin [CAPOX]). N-IPEC (paclitaxel) will be administered in combination with systemic P-HDFL or CAPOX on day 1,8,15 or day 1,8 for each cycle, respectively. The disease status will be evaluated every 12 weeks based on the computed tomography scan, and the clinical evaluation (outpatient follow-up) will be performed every 2 weeks for whom receiving P-HDFL and every 3 weeks for whom receiving CAPOX. Patients will receive maximal 6 cycles N-IPEC with P-HDFL or 8 cycles N-IPEC with CAPOX. After N-IPEC is discontinued, P-HDFL or CAPOX will be continued alone until disease progression or death. The primary endpoint of this study is 6-month DCR, and the secondary endpoints include 6-month response rate for ascites, 1-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), 3-year PFS and OS, and safety profiles. Based on Simon's minimax two-stage design, this trial will be carried out in two stages. In stage I, a total number of 13 (Arm-A) / 16 (Arm-B) patients is accrued. If there are ≤ 6 (Arm-A) / ≤ 14 (Arm-B) progression-free among these 13 (Arm-A) / 16 (Arm-B) patients, the study will be early stopped. Otherwise, additional 17 (Arm-A) / 2 (Arm-B) patients will be accrued in stage II, resulting in a total number sample size of 30 (Arm-A) / 18 (Arm-B). Expected result: A ≥ 75% (Arm-A) / ≥ 95% (Arm-B) 6-month DCR could be achieved for gastric adenocarcinoma patients with limited PC (Arm-A) / with CY1P0 (Arm-B) via this treatment strategy (complete CRS + N-IPEC + P-HDFL or CAPOX) -i.e., if there are ≥ 21 (Arm-A) / ≥ 16 (Arm-B) progression-free among the 30 (Arm-A) / 18 (Arm-B) enrolled patients, we will reject the null hypothesis and claim that the treatment is promising.
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.
The aim of this research is to evaluate the quality of life of patients over 75 years of age undergoing palliative chemotherapy for digestive cancer. It is a non-interventional study that evaluates the quality of life before and after a cycle of chemotherapy with a composite criterion including: a standardized questionnaire "Cancer specific quality of Life questionnaire" (QLQC30), an assessment of autonomy by "Activity of daily living" questionnaire (ADL), and the number of days of hospitalization.
This clinical study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of CCT303-406 CAR modified autologous T cells (CCT303-406) in subjects with relapsed or refractory stage IV metastatic HER2-positive solid tumors.
Hypoxia is the most common adverse event during gastrointestinal endoscopes sedated with propofol and sufentanil, especially in obese people. In the present study, high-flow nasal cannula oxygenation will be utilized in order to reduce the incidence of hypoxia among obesity.
This is a randomized open-label multicentre Phase III superiority study of the effect of adding SBRT to the standard of care treatment on overall survival in patients with rare oligometastatic cancers. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio between current standard of care treatment vs. standard of care treatment + SBRT to all sites of known metastatic disease. The primary objective of this trial is to assess if the addition of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to standard of care treatment improves overall survival (OS) as compared to standard of care treatment alone in patients with rare oligometastatic cancers.
Prospective assessment of nProfiler® 1 predictive test on prognosis and chemotherapy response for resectable gastric cancer
RESONANCE-II trial is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled phase III study which will enroll 524 patients in total. Patients with eligibility will be registered, pre-enrolled and receive three cycles of SOX. Then, tumor response evaluation will be carried out. Those who achieve stable disease or progressive disease will be excluded. Patients achieving complete response or partial response will be enrolled and assigned into either group A for another three cycles of SOX (six cycles in total) followed by D2 surgery and group B for D2 surgery (three cycles in total). The primary endpoint is the rate of pathological complete response and the secondary endpoints are R0 resection rate, three-year disease-free survival, five-year overall survival and safety.
This is a multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label study evaluating efficacy and safety of perioperative FLOT chemotherapy plus intraoperative HIPEC versus FLOT chemotherapy alone in patients with resectable localized and locally advanced diffuse and mixed type adenocarcinoma of the stomach and Type II/III GEJ.
