Filter by:The overall objective of this pilot study is to determine whether multispectral imaging increases the diagnostic accuracy of the current standard of high-definition white-light endoscopy for the detection of gastric neoplasia (high grade dysplasia or cancer). As part of an NCI-funded RO1, the investigators goal is to develop a multispectral endoscopic platform that can be used to survey a large surface area and, potentially, serve as a "red flag" for microendoscopic imaging of small areas. In prior ex vivo evaluations of surgical and endoscopic specimens, the investigators have identified the optical settings and illumination wavelengths that are complementary to white-light imaging and enhance superficial mucosal and vascular changes associated with neoplasia. Based on this initial testing, vital-dye enhanced fluorescence imaging (VFI) and imaging with High Resolution Microendoscope (HRME) have been identified as modalities that may be complementary to white-light imaging. The goal of this pilot study is to preliminarily determine the accuracy of these modalities during the endoscopic surveillance and detection of gastric neoplasia.
The aim of this study is the effect of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) with respect to gastric cancer bleeding in inoperable patients.
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study of Rilotumumab (AMG 102) with Cisplatin and Capecitabine (CX) for untreated advanced mesenchymal epithelial transition factor (MET)-positive gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GEJ).
Phase 1: Assessment of safety and tolerability of ADI-PEG 20 in combination with folinic acid (leucovorin), fluorouracil and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) in advanced GI malignancies. Phase 2: Assessment of the objective response rate (ORR), measured by RECIST 1.1 criteria as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR).
The goals of this study is to determine if nelfinavir can target Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) in patients with certain cancers.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Herceptin in patients with metastatic or advanced gastric cancer with disease progression during platinum-based or 5-fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether albumine-bounded paclitaxel plus S-1 are effective in the treatment of advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.
Gastric cancer remains a major health issue and a leading cause of cancer death worldwide, although the prevalence and mortality of the disease have gradually decreased. The investigators have very few options for patients with advanced disease. The trastuzumab for Gastric Cancer (ToGA) trial, a pivotal randomized clinical trial of patients with HER-2 positive advanced, mostly metastatic, gastric cancer, proved the efficacy of trastuzumab (anti-Her 2 therapy) in combination with chemotherapy. The median overall survival was significantly prolonged in the trastuzumab-containing arm (13.8 vs. 11.1 months; HR 0.74; p=0.0046) without unexpected toxicity including cardiac events. The survival benefit was most pronounced in the subgroup of high HER-2/neu protein overexpression (median overall survival of 16 months). Only 20% of the patients screened and subsequently enrolled for this study were found to be HER2-positive when utilizing both immunohistochemistry and FISH. Her2 testing is recommended for all patients with advanced gastric cancers and type III oesophageal adenocarcinomas. Data on Indian patients is lacking. Hence, the investigators plan to test for Her 2 in 100 patients with IHC and FISH in 2+ and 3+ patients.
This study will evaluate overall survival of nimotuzumab in combination with irinotecan compared to irinotecan alone in subjects with EGFR overexpressed advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer.
Investigators propose to study the effect of panitumumab when combined with an active regimen, such as DCF (Docetaxel/Cisplatin/Fluourouracil), in previously untreated patients with advanced cancer of the stomach.
