Filter by:It is a single-center, open-lable, randomized controlled trial to prospectively investigate the effectiveness and safety of Camrelizumab combined with DOS regimen chemotherapy in neoadjuvant treatment of patients with locally advanced gastric cancer.
Smaller submucosal tumors (SMT) in the stomach are usually seen as an incidental finding during a gastroscopy, although current diagnostics usually do not clearly indicate what type of tumor it is. In summary, there is no good evidence for dealing with SMT. In this study, an endoscopic full-thickness resection, primarily with the FTRD device, is to be offered to all patients with gastric SMT without a confirmed histology seen in a certain period of time . Patients who do not want to take advantage of this are included in a systematic follow-up program. The investigators hope to learn about the rate of so-called GIST tumors and other histologies, as well as the rate of change in the follow-up group. Also, study contents will be accuracy of endosonographic imaging and puncture in comparison with resection histology, technical feasibility and histological completeness of the FTRD- based endoscopic (full-wall) resection option, complications of such a resection (secondary bleeding and dehiscences), and patient preferences with standardized information.
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, multicenter, non-randomized study to investigate the safety, tolerability, and clinical activity of HER2-specific dual-switch CAR-T cells, BPX-603, administered with rimiducid to subjects with previously treated, locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors which are HER2 amplified/overexpressed.
This research is being done to determine the safety and feasibility of using a type of radiation guided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and chemotherapy to treat patients with gastric and breast cancer. The name of the radiation machine involved in this study is the MRIdian Linear Accelerator.
This phase IIA trial investigates the side effects of Ad5.F35-hGCC-PADRE vaccine and to see how well it works in treating patients with gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma. Ad5.F35-hGCC-PADRE vaccine may help to train the patient's own immune system to identify and kill tumor cells and prevent it from coming back.
Gastric cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Despite advances in therapeutic intervention, the mortality from this disease remains high. As a result, most patients are now offered varying combinations of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy in order to derive benefits from a multidisciplinary approach. Unfortunately, therapies are often toxic or debilitating and therapeutic responses can vary. Thus new therapeutic strategy is required for the treatment of gastric cancer. In the early 1980s, the discovery of cytolytic T cells (cytolytic T lymphocytes, CTLs) directed against an antigen presented on tumor cells was published. They can kill many invasive cells by recognizing the tumor specific antigens on the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. It is now generally agreed that although tumors express tumor antigens, they usually lack immunogenicity because of their inability to activate the immune response. The current view is that tumor cells are antigenic, but not immunogenic. If we can artificially activate the immune system against the tumor, it may be possible to eradicate the tumor. This approach is the basis of cancer immunotherapy. Many tumor antigens have been defined in terms of multiple solid tumors: MART-1/Melan-A, gp100, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), HER-2, mucins (i.e., MUC-1), prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) are just a short list. Some immune-based therapies targeting these tumor antigens are in phase III trials assessing whether immunizing against these antigens affects overall survival. In gastric cancer, some tumor antigens such as MAGE-A3, NY-ESO-1, and WT-1 have been reported to be expressed in substantial proportion of cases. They have the potential to be the targeting molecules for immunotherapy in the future. In this study, we aim to explore the expression levels of the four tumor markers (MAGE-A3, NY-ESO-1, WT-1 and PRAME) in gastric cancers of Korean patients and to examine the correlations of the expression levels of the four markers to clinic-patholoical factors.
The purpose of this study is to collect and store normal and malignant tissue from patients with gastric cancer, GIST, esophageal cancer, pancreas cancer, hepatocellular cancer, biliary cancer, neuroendocrine, peritoneal mesothelioma, anal cancer and colorectal cancer, an estimated 50 to 100 of each tumor type. To collect and store blood samples from patients with gastric cancer, GIST, esophageal cancer, pancreas cancer, hepatocellular cancer, biliary cancer, neuroendocrine, peritoneal mesothelioma, anal cancer and colorectal cancer. To create a database for the collected tissue and allow access to relevant clinical information for current and future protocols. To create tissue microarrays for each gastrointestinal cancer subtype, namely, gastric cancer, GIST, esophageal cancer, pancreas cancer, hepatocellular cancer, biliary cancer, neuroendocrine, peritoneal mesothelioma, anal cancer and colorectal cancer, to facilitate future molecular studies. To grant access to Dr Kindler, Dr. Salgia, and Dr. Catenacci to this database (as it is being acquired) of the coupled patient tissue samples (normal and malignant) and relevant clinical information for the investigation of tyrosine kinases, such as Met and Ron, receptor tyrosine kinase family members, STATs, paxillin, focal adhesion proteins, cell motility/migration proteins, tyrosine/serine/threonine kinase family members, related molecules, and downstream targets implicated in the pathogenesis of GI cancers. Examples of molecular testing include evaluation of DNA mutation, alternative splice variants, protein expression and phosphorylation, and immunohistochemistry on samples. These studies will be correlated with clinical information as stated above.
Implementation of a curative strategy of treatment in peritoneal carcinomatosis of gastric cancer. The goal is to get 1C level of evidence (patient died with "standard" treatment, with this treatment some of them survive) in terms of disease free survival and overall survival. Methodology: prospective, phase II, multicentric in Spain. Recruitment of 50 patients(to have 31 on treatment) in three years. This strategy is based on neoadjuvant systemic plus simultaneous intraperitoneal and intravenous chemotherapy(NIPS),to treat peritoneal disease by bi-directional approach; next step is cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC. Once patients are discharged, they will follow a systemic adjuvant chemotherapy protocol.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and overall survival of the regimen of XELOX (Xeloda and oxaliplatin combination) in the patients with relapsed and refractory gastric cancer.
To assess the usefulness of Docetaxel plus S-1 combination chemotherapy based on the antitumor effect and survival period by performing a phase I/II study of this combination in Elderly patients with inoperable or with postoperative gastric cancer.
