Filter by:Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is paramount in the diagnosis and evaluation of cancers involving the gastrointestinal tract. EUS allows for the acquisition of cellular (fine needle aspirate - FNA) or tissue biopsy (fine needle biopsy - FNB) for diagnostic purposes. This has traditionally been done with fine needle aspirate where a needle is inserted into the tumor and potentially malignant cells are extracted for microscopic analysis. More recently, a needle that allows a tissue biopsy for histologic analysis has been FDA approved. The Echotip Procore (Cook Medical) core biopsy needle (ETP), has been demonstrated to provide excellent efficacy for core biopsy samples. Final diagnostic yield using this needle ranges from 80-90% and appears to be significantly greater than EUS-FNA for lesions requiring histology for diagnosis. However, there is currently only limited data from prospective studies comparing EUS-FNA to EUS-FNB with the ETP needle. The investigators propose a randomized, prospective, cross-over study comparing diagnostic accuracy of EUS-FNA to EUS-FNB.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection (ESTD) compared with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in the treatment of upper gastrointestinal submucosal tumors.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ipilimumab and imatinib mesylate in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving ipilimumab and imatinib mesylate may work better in treating patients with solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to determine a maximum tolerated dose and/or recommended phase 2 dose of a combination of imatinib and BYL719 in the treatment of 3rd line GIST patients.
The purpose of this study was to allow continued use of nilotinib in patients who were on nilotinib treatment in a Novartis-sponsored, Oncology Clinical Development & Medical Affairs (CD&MA) study and were benefiting from the treatment as judged by the investigator
The objective is to compare the efficacy and safety of masitinib at 12 mg/kg/day to sunitinib at 50 mg/day in the treatment of patients with gastro-intestinal stromal tumor (GIST) after progression with imatinib.
The purpose of this Managed Access Program is to provide regorafenib to patients diagnosed with metastatic and / or unresectable GIST who have progressed after standard therapy.
The objective of the trial is to provide regorafenib to subjects diagnosed with metastatic and / or unresectable GIST who have progressed after standard therapy. Selected additional safety information on regorafenib will be collected and progression-free survival (PFS) will be estimated.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of dasatinib when given together with ipilimumab in treating patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors or other sarcomas that cannot be removed by surgery or have spread to other places in the body. Dasatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab, can block tumor growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Giving dasatinib together with ipilimumab may be a better treatment for patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors or other sarcomas.
