Filter by:Surgical lymph node dissection is the key to advanced gastric cancer. In recent years, after the overall implementation of standard D2 dissection, lymph node dissection for gastric cancer began to explore the direction of D1+ again. Current clinical studies of gastric cancer lymph node dissection based on intraoperative fluorescence navigation show that non-tumor specific lymph node fluorescence navigation surgery can only increase the total number of lymph nodes detected and ensure the completion of the dissection but not the accuracy. The sensitivity and specificity of the tracer metastatic lymph nodes are 56.3% (410/728), respectively. Specificity 46.1% (2669/5785). Tumor specific tracing of positive lymph nodes is the key to achieve accurate lymph node dissection for gastric cancer. Although tumor specific tracers are developing rapidly and related clinical studies are gradually being carried out, there are few reports on specific clinical studies on lymph node metastasis, suggesting that lymph node tracing is still a difficult problem. Previous basic studies have suggested that integrins play an important molecular biological role in the process of tumor lymph node metastasis. In the early stage, 99mTc3PRGD2 SPECT-CT showed good lymph node imaging effect in lung cancer and breast cancer, and 99mTc-oncoFAPI PET-CT also showed good lymph node imaging effect in gastric cancer. Therefore, this study aims to explore the application prospect of 99mTc3PRGD2 and other probes in molecular imaging of gastric cancer metastatic lymph nodes and guidance of lymph node dissection and tracer, so as to accumulate preliminary clinical data for exploring corresponding fluorescent probes for intraoperative tracer of gastric cancer lymph nodes.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy and anti-PD-1 immunotherapy followed by surgery for the primary and metastatic lesions in patients with limited metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1) If the multimodal treatment which includes anti-PD-1 immunotherapy and local therapies will improve the survival of this group of patients. 2) If the multimodal treatment which includes anti-PD-1 immunotherapy and local therapies can be performed safely in this group of patients. Participants will receive short course hypofractionated radiotherapy (HFRT) for the primary lesion, HFRT or stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for metastatic lesions, combined with systemic chemotherapy and anti-PD-1 immunotherapy. For patients with HER2-positive cancer (defined as IHC 3+ or 2+/ISH+), trastuzumab is used along with chemotherapy and anti-PD-1 antibody. Then, surgical resections of primary and metastatic lesions are performed as much as possible. For patients who need a widely invasive surgical approach or are inoperable, local ablative therapies such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and microwave ablation (MVA) can be alternatives. For patients undergoing surgical resections, postoperative treatment includes chemotherapy, which is determined by the researcher, and PD-1 antibody, which will be maintained until one year after surgery.
Despite recent advances, the prognosis of patients with advanced gastric cancer remains poor. At present, regimens that combine a platinum and fluorouracil agent either alone or in combination with a third drug such as epirubicin or taxane constitute the most effective treatment option in the first-line metastatic setting, resulting in a median OS of approximately 10 months. In the second-line setting, ramucirumab (a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 antagonist) was recently approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration, and has demonstrated modest activity in patients with advanced gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma who progressed after first-line platinum- or fluoropyrimidine-containing chemotherapy. Median OS was 5.2 months in the ramucirumab group versus 3.8 months in the placebo group. At the updated DCO of 03 June 2020 in the DS8201-A-J202 (DESTINY-Gastric01) study in HER2-positive GC or GEJ adenocarcinoma subjects assigned to T-DXd 6.4 mg/kg, T-DXd further demonstrated clinically meaningful efficacy. The median OS was 12.5 months for the T-DXd group and 8.9 months for the physician's choice group (HR = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.42, 0.86). In a prespecified subgroup analysis, the percentages of patients with an objective response were analyzed in HER2-low group. The response rate in HER2 2+ was 29% (8 of 28) with T-DXd monotherapy. Refer to the figure below for the response rate in HER2-low group in previous DESTINY trials. This is a two part, phase I/Ⅱ, open-label, single center study of afatinib in combination with T-DXd, in 2L/3L gastric cancer patients with HER2-low. The study design allows an investigation of combination dose of afatinib with T-DXd, with intensive safety monitoring to ensure the safety of the patients.
The goal of the study is to understand whether blood levels of hormones produced or metabolized in the stomach reflect the health of the stomach lining. Specifically the study will determine whether the concentration of ghrelin, gastrin, pepsinogens and vitamin B12 reflect the condition of the stomach lining. Hormone concentrations for people with normal/mild gastritis will be compared to people with long-term inflammation of the stomach (chronic atrophic gastritis), and people with pre-cancerous cellular changes (intestinal metaplasia).
The main goal of this study is to investigate the histopathological regression rate in patients with locally advanced gastric and gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma without previous treatment who will be prospectively randomized into two groups to undergo one of two chemotherapy regimens, followed by surgery: 1. 8 cycles of Total Neoadjuvant ChemoTherapy (TNT) with 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), Leucovorin, Oxaliplatin and Docetaxel (FLOT) followed by surgery. 2. 4 cycles of Neoadjuvant FLOT chemotherapy scheme preoperatively and 4 adjuvant FLOT cycles postoperatively.
This study is an open-label, international, multi-center, Phase 1 study in adult patients with solid tumors likely to express CLDN18.2.
" Hepatic artery variants are occasionally seen, especially 20-30% of aberrant left hepatic artery. In radical gastrectomy, decision for aberrant left hepatic artery(ALHA) ligation should consider the oncologic safety and liver-related complication. Theoretically, the ALHA preservation is the most ideal in the aspect of liver function protection. However, it is technically difficult which consumes much time. Not only that, oncologic safety could be threatened as some soft tissues, including lymph nodes, could be remained while in preserving the ALHA. There has been no standardized method to evaluate the ALHA, and to decide whether preserve or ligate it. This prospective study has been designed to develop the decision algorithm to define the ALHA preservation/ligation, using near-infrared fluorescence imaging during surgery. "
This is an observational study with a case control design. This study included patients with gastric cancer confirmed by pathological diagnosis of gastric tissue, and matched the control population according to age, gender, etc. In this study, researchers collected clinical information and multiple biological samples such as saliva, serum, and feces from the study subjects. We combined 16S rRNA sequencing and metabolomics to explore the differences in microbial and metabolic characteristics between gastric cardia cancer and non-cardia gastric cancer for early screening of gastric cancer.
This study is carried out to find out if a customized molecular test can identify a subgroup of patients with very-high-risk of developing stomach cancer within patients with intestinal metaplasia (IM). The investigators hypothesise that the incidence of dysplasia and GC cases in the molecular-test-positive group will be significantly higher than that in the molecular-test-negative group. Such a test has the potential to guide clinicians to better manage patients with IM by allowing endoscopic surveillance to be focused on individuals at very-high-risk of developing stomach cancer, at the same time avoiding or reducing endoscopies for those at lower risk.
Surgical resection is the mainstay for gastric cancer. Surgical stress response, like insulin resistance and catabolism, is inevitable and is a risk factor for postoperative outcome. To cope with this stress, the enhanced recovery protocol has been proposed and successfully implemented in clinical practice. Recently, prehabilitation have attracted increasingly attention, which is the preoperative part of enhanced recovery pathway. Prehabtilitation are bundles of evidenced elements in order to improve patient's functional capacity. Patients with gastric cancer are usually suffered from nutritional risk, anxiety and frailty. In this trial, we investigate whether multimodal prehabilitation (exercise, nutrition and psychological support) could improve patient's functional status to better tolerate surgical trauma.
