NCT ID: NCT05856500 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Stage IV Gastric Cancer

A Study of Creatine Combined With Curcumin in the Intervention of Early Cachexia in Upper Gastrointestinal Tumors

Start date: June 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Cachexia is a common complication of various advanced malignant tumors, which seriously affects the quality of life and survival time of patients. In view of the clinical problem of non-nutritional response in patients with cachexia, the investigators plan to carry out a clinical case-control study on the intervention of creatine combined with curcumin in participants with cachexia. On the whole, the investigators limited the study subjects to upper digestive tract tumors and diagnosed participants with early cachexia. The main purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of the two can play a positive and stable role in inhibiting the inflammation of cachexia and improving metabolic status, so that basic nutrition can play a role, in order to reduce the level of skeletal muscle consumption, maintain weight, improve quality of life, save medical costs and extend survival time.

NCT ID: NCT02344810 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Gastrointestinal Cancer

C-Met Inhibitor AMG 337, Oxaliplatin, Leucovorin Calcium, and Fluorouracil in Treating Patients With Advanced Stomach or Esophageal Cancer

Start date: March 6, 2015
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This partially randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of c-Met inhibitor AMG 337 when given together with oxaliplatin, leucovorin calcium, and fluorouracil and to see how well they work in treating patients with stomach or esophageal cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment. C-Met inhibitor AMG 337 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as, oxaliplatin, leucovorin calcium, and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving c-Met inhibitor AMG 337 with oxaliplatin, leucovorin calcium, and fluorouracil may kill more tumor cells.

NCT ID: NCT01705340 Terminated - Clinical trials for HER2-positive Breast Cancer

Akt Inhibitor MK2206, Lapatinib Ditosylate, and Trastuzumab in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic HER2-Positive Breast , Gastric, or Gastroesophageal Cancer That Cannot Be Removed By Surgery

Start date: September 2012
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of Akt inhibitor MK2206 and lapatinib ditosylate when given together with trastuzumab in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-positive breast, gastric, or gastroesophageal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Akt inhibitor MK2206 and lapatinib ditosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for tumor growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Giving Akt inhibitor MK2206 and lapatinib ditosylate together with trastuzumab may kill more tumor cells.

NCT ID: NCT01612546 Completed - Clinical trials for Adenocarcinoma of the Gastroesophageal Junction

Pilot Trial of CRLX101 in Treatment of Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Stomach, Gastroesophageal, or Esophageal Cancer That Cannot be Removed by Surgery

Start date: November 2012
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This pilot clinical trial studies cyclodextrin-based nanopharmaceutical CRLX101 in treating patients with advanced or metastatic stomach, gastroesophageal, or esophageal cancer that has progressed through at least one prior regimen of chemotherapy and cannot be removed by surgery. CRLX101 delivers the cytotoxic topoisomerase-1 inhibitor camptothecin into tumor cells and is hypothesized to interrupt the growth of tumor cells.

NCT ID: NCT01522820 Completed - Glioblastoma Clinical Trials

Vaccine Therapy With or Without Sirolimus in Treating Patients With NY-ESO-1 Expressing Solid Tumors

Start date: March 2012
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best schedule of vaccine therapy with or without sirolimus in treating patients with cancer-testis antigen (NY-ESO-1) expressing solid tumors. Biological therapies, such as sirolimus, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Vaccines made from a person's white blood cells mixed with tumor proteins may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells that express NY-ESO-1. Infusing the vaccine directly into a lymph node may cause a stronger immune response and kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether vaccine therapy works better when given with or without sirolimus in treating solid tumors.

NCT ID: NCT01249443 Terminated - Clinical trials for Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific

Paclitaxel and Carboplatin in Treating Patients With Metastatic or Recurrent Solid Tumors and HIV Infection

Start date: November 2013
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This phase I clinical trial is studying the side effects and the best dose of vorinostat when given together with paclitaxel and carboplatin in treating patients with metastatic or recurrent solid tumors and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving vorinostat together with paclitaxel and carboplatin may kill more tumor cells. NOTE: An administrative decision was made by NCI to halt further study of vorinostat in this specific patient population as of February 1, 2013. No patients remain on vorinostat. Going forward this study will determine the safety and tolerability of the paclitaxel and carboplatin combination in this patient population.
